A penalty from a stupid foul, a flick from a flukey cross and one well worked goal apart, we really haven't created many chances so far. Mainly due to the fact we don't have anyone in the box when Humphrey is crossing it, and when on the odd occasion we do have people in the box everyone runs to the front post when Humphrey mainly puts it into the back psot area.

But we didn't win today, and i know it's early days but we haven't even looked like scoring against the better sides in the league so far.

Covering every blade of grass doesn't mean you have had a good game though.

When Jennings went off i felt their midfield began to over run us, lots of times in the second half Scott Brown etc were running right through our midfield whereas in the first half Jennings was breaking things up quite well in the middle of the park. Seriously don't know how a guy that runs about the park like a headless chicken and constantly gives the ball away can merit man of the match

Cheers

Totally agree with this.

Don't know if it's down to instructions from Craig Brown (known his style of play it's possible) but personally i think it's due to the midfield hiding all the time, especially Hateley. They rarely ever show for the ball when the defence have it resulting in the ball being punted up field for the strikers to live off the scraps.

Aye, good point right enough.

Brechin at home please! Are the fixtures midweek?

Randolph. Lasley can run around all day long if he wants, but he's no use if he can't pass the ball 10 yards.

That is crazy talk.

Every prediction on that page has been wrong so far

Agreed.

Which club?

Saturday's Saturday's Saturday's Shagger!

Randolph Saunders Craigan Reynolds Hammell Jennings Lasley Humphrey Forbes Murphy Blackman Keep the same back five as Thursday for obvious reasons. Bring in Jennings for Hateley because i think a rest would do Hateley good and maybe remind him that he isn't guaranteed a start and so won't hide as much in matches. Also think a rest for Sutton would do him good, and it's about time Forbes got a chance in the team so keeping in mind his lack of pace and engine i would play him just behind Blackman where he can do damge to teams in the last third but also have two sitting midfielders behind him to protect him. My instructions to Murphy would be to make late runs from out wide to the far post when Humphrey is crossing the ball. Also tell Jennings and Lasley to show for the ball in midfield and not hide so that Saunders, Craigan etc don't have to resort to the long ball. Going for 2-1 'well with Forbes and Murphy getting the goals

Humphrey. Unfortunately we don't have anyone clever enough to peel off to the back post when he crosses

Get to your bed Paco, you've got school tommorrow

Hateley's good at hide and seek.

Apparently Blackman is in for Jenning. Sounds as if we are going for it

Great news, hopefully by tommorrow the game will be sold out and it can be the 1 in 100 games where the atmosphere at Fir Park is amazing

Me and my mates were just talking about that game. Atmosphere was unbelievable that night due to the fact so many folk were pished. If the atmoshpere is half as good as it was that night then it will be some noise.

I'd go with: Randolph Saunders Craigan Reynolds Hammell Lasley Hateley Humphrey Sutton Murphy Nick the Blackman Sutton just to keep an eye on Djemba Djemba and Murphy and Humphrey getting back to help out defensively when we dont have the ball. Think this one will go into extra time and penalties, but lets just hope the atmosphere is good and we can get a result
