  1. If you can't beat that starting lineup you probably deserve to be in the play-offs. Hope they keep Livi in the Championship, though. (Votes close on Tuesday night so get them in early.) Take your pick...
  2. I often think that when he's playing too. Not surprising we've brought in a few fringe players, but the question is will they bring more energy to the side on the last day or less. Would not have had Miller anywhere Dingwall in a nothing game when there's millions at risk, however low that risk might be.
  3. The answer to that is almost always "no"
  4. If he was replaceable we should have done that when he was out for a year.
  5. If fans are paying full price to watch you, you need to be giving 100% I'm hopeful Wimmer will have the team motivated with nothing less in mind.
  6. That's always true, but has to offset against the value he generates if he stays. An extra round in the cup plus a couple of league positions is worth a few bob. Not an exact science, and carries an element of risk. Plus, you can't afford to keep selling your best players unless you want another battle for 11th spot.
  7. Zero minutes is the only safe approach. Let him give everyone a wave via a Zoom call from his couch.
  8. He was a first choice starter when he got back to full fitness, so not sure Cardiff would want to loan him out. Sell him, maybe, if they need some cash after relegation.
  9. I think DT would have been better served abroad, but he was also unlucky with injuries at Celtic. Even so, he made 100 appearances, scored 25 goals and picked up a handful of medals along the way. At his young age, ff he'd stayed fit, it might have set up him for a bigger move elsewhere. Maybe not a Henrik Larsson type move to Barcelona, but certainly a Virgil van Dijk type move (before he ended up at Liverpool). His move to a struggling Cardiff side was a strange one, though - and then he picked up another injury which interrupted his chance at regular football again. I always like to see Scottish talent test themselves overseas, so hope Miller takes that route.
  10. A big question is will AP stay fit and how many goals will a fit AP score? (That's really 2 questions, but I can't be bothered editing it).
  11. I'm not saying we should re-sign them, but the club not wanting a player isn't always a negative. Mika Biereth is one good example - punted by an Arsenal side struggling to find a centre forward
  12. There's always nuance in a players' ability. SOD is never a central defender and is always going to struggle there. He is one of the best crossers of a ball in the current team, and takes a good long throw. His passing is better than average, and as vice captain, he brings some experience to the back line. Weighed against that is that he lacks a bit of pace, and can get caught of of position. He's also not the strongest in the air when defending crosses. Overall, I think he is net contributor, but no doubt he has his weaknesses.
  13. Miller said his goodbyes last night. I wouldn't even put him on the bus just in case!
  14. I see Lewis Ferguson captained Bologna to their Coppa Italia victory last night. Combine that with Max Johnston being a regular starter for a Sturm Graz side that looks odds on to win another League title, and McTominay and Gilmour with the (very slight) edge in the Serie A title chase, I can only hope Miller takes that as inspiration for a move abroad.
  15. Exactly this. We have seen plenty of examples over the years where we struggle to open up a 10-man or park-the-bus defence. I thought we played some pretty decent stuff once we changed formation in the 2nd half and created some decent chances. As much as anything, I was pleased that, at half time, Wimmer found a way to set them up to win and the players responded.
  16. I hope someone can teach Casey how to mark in 3 days, because my money is on him watching the ball float over his head while he is half way up the pitch.
  17. Win against Dundee when we have 10 men. Win against Killie when they have 10 men. It's like Blackjack - winners any time there's 21 in play. Now take your pick...
  18. Especially if you play 2 up front.
  19. And stretch them out wide so they can't stuff the middle.
  20. 100% I like Watt but he needs a traditional central striker playing off him. I suppose that what AP was supposed to be, but a gap we need to address in the summer.
  21. I wasn't sure from the orignal pictures, but when you saw VAR wide angle I was about as close as the nearest covering defender.
  22. Well he missed the clear red, but at least got it right after the review.
  23. Was good to see Baraclough on the Play-off coverage last night, and hear him, however briefly, reminisce about battering Rangers.
  24. I can see how he is a useful player in the right set up, but that set up isn't our defence. I've given up trying to predict how managers view the value of players, though, as I see selections made by all of them that leave me scratching my head.
