Exactly ! Not much at all between the 10 teams outside the OF. If we can improve a little bit we will pick up a lot more points.

Plenty to work on. Probably need about 3 new players. (Spine as said earlier) but in general I’m pleased with what I’ve seen in aS much as we are trying to play football.

Yes we have made Mistakes but we will get better. Bad decision from McGinn to give away the corner but I think him and Gordon struggle with us trying to play a passing game. Fadinger struggling a bit today against better opposition but if we can play our new style against rangers it should be “easier” when we play other teams. Longelo had two opportunities to get god shot on goal but his first touch let Him down leading to poor efforts on goal. I’d like to see us give TJ more of the ball and have him go at full back.

I hate gallant defeats.

The game is being shown live in the USA CBS Sports network which I get via Fubo. saves me having to cast it onto the Tv

Has Miller been training with us this week? Not really expecting him to play but we can only sit him out for so long if this drags on week after week, so I’d be tempted to start using him till something concrete happens.

Well maybe he will score since it’s the Dutch second tier. I’d. Say his career is already well into its twilight years.

Not like the phone lines are busy with the Italians calling. They’ll have to do face time since Italians talk with their hands.

I hadn’t really been expecting him to play anyway.

I would assume, when it comes down to it, that it will be Miller and not the club that who determines which bid is accepted. If the club doesn’t pick the one he prefers then it could develop into a messy situation with one or more parties loosing out.

Thought he was signed till 2027? Or I’m sure there could be an extension to suit MFC and Miller

Why? We might get a lot more for him. Of course we might not but I thought we were ok financially at the moment so getting a large sum of money a year later should be fine?

I keep expecting to see some news on here when I get up in the morning. However, whether Miller gets transferred before Saturday or not I’m pretty sure he won’t be playing if he’s been gone all week. I will say that, if our new manager sticks to his principles, another year at MFC wouldn’t be the worst option for Miller.

There’s definitely a time for the long ball or taking the chance of getting the ball into the box but that’s what the players have to learn, making the right decision between retaining possession and taking a risk. Our normal over the past few years has involved no such decision making, it’s just been hoof the ball up and chase it.

Open draw after the round of 16 is it not? So they have to use the hot and cold or rough and smooth ball ploy to keep them apart

Old Cliché but true, luck of the draw!

Looks like hearts thistle and StJ so we’ll be hoping for thistle or saints at home but unlikely to happen.

In the phraseology I think. Not a free hit as such but definitely not expected to get any points should be a good test for us to see if we can maintain our Passing game under pressure and not regress back to hoof ball. We have to believe this is the way forward and persevere and improve. I think if we can be confident in our new identity we will reap the benefits. Playing one of the OF first should make it seem less frantic playing “lesser” opposition. If we can get a couple of new faces in the door to strengthen defense and attack this could be one of the more Enjoyable seasons in a while.

I’m hoping highlights go up soon so I can see the goal and get another look at the pk

No complaints from our players so makes me suspect ref called it correctly

I saw the first hour and then the last few mins after it was already 1-1 but I was pleased to see us attacking at the end. Such a pleasant change to watch us trying to play football. Probably had more completed passed the past 5 games than we have the past 5 years.

We have had a barrow load this year and have not looked dangerous at all

Similar to what I said in my last post. Glad to see us not revert to hoof ball.

This is a good friendly for us. The players having to execute our tactics against a much higher level of opposition. We’ve had some decent possession and for the most part we are trying to play a Passing game but we need more runs off the ball in attack and because we are having to play quicker some of the passing is going astray.

Not so clever on the ball tonight. Bit slow and some wayward passes.
