JBA hasn't even won a game this season.

Is that you, Robbo?

We were unfortunate to hit a brick wall in the play-off round, but we navigated all the legs in the other ties with a high level of competence, despite our concerns about new players, new manager and lack of time together. If we can continue to build on that, we'll be fine this season.

Usually, but see Article 63 I posted above "In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA disciplinary bodies are entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions." Not that there's any chance of that happening here.

Article 63 of the UEFA Conference League Rules: As a rule, a player or team official sent off by the referee is automatically suspended for the next match in a UEFA club competition (i.e. UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League or UEFA Super Cup). In the event of a serious offence, the UEFA disciplinary bodies are entitled to augment this punishment, including by extending it to other competitions.

I think Hearts, Celtic and Rangers all had easier draws, but at least we went out to a good team. A win on Sunday will keep things on track.

We'd have beaten Jablonec. 2 - 2 aggregate when it was 11 v 11. Take your pick...

For those in the right region, Onefootball is streaming the game today. It's available to me in the US for $3.99, but no idea what regions are covered by the service.

Is that lineup intended as 4-3-3 or 4-4-2? Happy to see a positive formation. I still have flashbacks to McGhee overthinking his overthinking against Nancy to end up with our 1 attempt at goal.

No / maybe

That was supposed to be one of the new directives this year as witnessed at the world cup, and has been followed in the EPL too I believe. You're right though - we won't see it here.

I thought he was the CEO!

I agree JT is likely to stay, but buying clubs won't be heavily influenced by his form after a late start to the season after injury. 6 goals from the right wing by November and the interest will be there again.

Health and Safety gone mad.

We can just ban you. That's easy.

It's not a complicated problem. Stop doing it.

Maybe it's his clone that's interested.

I meant I hadn't heard of us making players train in their own when they fall out with the club or other non-playing reasons.

It’s not something I have ever heard of us do before. I suppose it could happen, but just doesn’t seem our style.

That’s usually disciplinary issues. In this case it sounds more like specialized rehab.

Eythor would seem to fit into the style Alfred likes to play, with lots of crosses into the box. I’m happy to see him get a chance when he’s fit. If it doesn’t work then we can look for our plan B in January.

I imagine we expect 3 or 4 times return on that investment too. I agree, however, that we are likely to lose one or two more before the window.

Elijah Just was wee too, but he worked out OK.

They weren't allowed to do that for Conference League games, but you might get your wish Friday morning.
