Good summary as ever. I know what you are saying re midfield but given its a squad game nowadays and we have options on a strong bench I wonder whether the game plan was to win the midfield 'battle' and then push on with more creative players ie Biggi, who I am not convinced is ready for an engine room scrap. Anyways great to be debating the hows of positive results!! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Another game leaving the ground enthused and smiling (as most were). First half poor Robinson was trying to get word to Dunne to play it shorter, Hammel on was a game changer ... shorter crisper passing. Campbell and Bowman outstanding as was Hartley, one of the best Well debuts I've seen. When you have the spine of the team strong you can get away with a lot. Subs spot on yet again. Biggi for Rose was right at that time and Hartley had signalled to the bench with tight hamstrings, good maturity last thing we all needed was him injured. McHugh did well going back but for all the comments about players going past him and being on the slow side we did lose a bit in midfield when he went back. So lots to be pleased about and there is obviously more to come. Spirit, fitness, organisation, options, yet still around me in the pod some moanin chunts. Wtf do you people want especially 'shakemaheidy' Looking forward to Adeen league cup tie.. could be a very special fir park night Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Wouldnt disagree with that Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Brother in law is a season ticket holder there, confirms he has indeed been doing well...pleased for the lad Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

He went close early in the game but did not score or assist in the goal Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Wow. show me any goalkeeper who hasn't made a howler in his career so I ain't gonna pass judgement on this lad based soley on his howler for the second goal. I actually don't think he was to blame for 3rd goal. The acid test will be how he reacts now Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Very very interesting, if not a bit disturbing but it shows you what clubs have to go through while we have at times sat waiting and sometimes criticising a perceived lack of progress.....thanks for posting Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

How do you know that is not what he has said to Campbell.... Don't get the 'respect' bit when you don't know what has been said.... great young talent but don't expect too much too soon....this board is good at turning on young players when they go through a lean spell ie Cads not so long ago Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I had slightly different figures but in principle that was what I was thinking Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Was Bowman but like your group we all breathed a sigh of relief general concensus was penalty Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Sounds like that is the plan, just hope it works out....still its good we actually have a plan Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I agree mate thought he improved after a sticky start, happy to see him back Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Don't forget we can sign free agents after transfer window, which I accept is not as wide or desirable pool but will still contain some nuggets Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Aye and he has every right to be aggrieved just as we were in the Rangers game for the push ON Bowman. I get that referees have a difficult job but both were pretty straightforward. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

A conspiracy theory too far? Who knows but whether in positive or negative mode Ya Bezzers posts are well constructed and not abusive or begging for attention, so I doubt they are one and the same. But who knows (or cares, I just want sensible debate from different viewpoints not silly games![emoji6] ) Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I think Rose was in the team to provide exra defensive and offensive height against Hearts as well as doing a lot of grunt work. I rate Campbell highly but he is not exactly tall With the various permutations now available to us I expect to see a horses for courses approach depending on opposition and game circumstances (ie bringing Campbell on to help protect a lead) Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Ouch!! christ we had a number of strikers at the time and were short in midfield, that was madness.....anyway great to see a more balanced approach to player recruitment nowadays Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Watched the Burton v Birm game last week and Irvine was absolutely outstanding, shame we didn't land him...who was the flopped striker Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Thought Dunne had a good game, seems like a decent player despite the earlier misgivings Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Just seen the highlights and noticed it was Rose who closed down and initially tackled the Hearts player allowing Tait to gain possession and feed Moult for that sublime finish. You can't say its an assist but its the type of thing that does show his value to the team. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I used to work the scoreboard some years ago so was at the back of the stand next to the media guys and to be fair Richard Gordon (and Craig Paterson and Murdo McLeod) were nice guys and always happy to chat. I think you maybe right about it being editorial cause previously on the long drive home you got far wider post match coverage Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Sportscene and sportsound are becoming like radio clyde on a bad day. Driving home Saturday hoping to catch up on what happened around the country and all we got was over 20 minutes wittering about Celtic game and the weekly fawning interview with McInness. Disappointing sadly not surprising their lack of indepth or even reasonable knowledge of the 'diddy' teans Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Totally agree re Rose, actually thought he supported front two well today, although was caught too far forward at their goal...he does a lot of 'grunt' work that often goes unoticed, always showing at throw ins, playing simple short passes, and closing down space. It is the type of role that is never fully appreciated except by teammates and manager. Anyways regards mom has to be Kipre who was outstanding Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Just watched the highlights as you say terrific strike also a great cross for third goal...looks a player. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

I get where you are coming from and I actually think Robbo is covering both issues...immediate strengthening plus options for the future Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
