We can but dream. 10k steel stadium

Well done to Captain Sparrow and his young crew. Off to the North Atlantic next week for the next battle. Hopefully get through that with no astro turf injuries.

Raskin or Just? Having seen that the Rangers are looking for £20million for Raskin . I feel if I was a manager I would go for Just and Watt and still have £13million spare to spend on a decent forward. Hope McInnes doesn't read this .

Can you picture the reception that Welsh will get when he walks into the dressing room. You can't buy that togetherness.

We had a God like forward line in the second half. Thor and Apollo 😀

Hate to say it but a certain Bevis Mugabe would have won a lot of headers from the goalies kicks and handled the physical threat too. Granted the footwork would be hit and miss but his airiel abilities would have come in handy.

Sussed. We're not Indiana btw

Been thinking that GA is reading "The Mixer", a book about tactics in EPL over the years. He has a team that were sitting comfortably in top 6 so why not play about with different tactics and squad rotation. Problem is we don't have the quality of Liverpool, Man City etc. Hopefully he realises what happens in his head is not happening on the pitch and he goes back to what he knows best. Is Goodwin and Martindale chopping and changing their team every match? Let's get a settled starting 11 and run with it for a month. Even happy for him to stick with 4 3 3 as that is what he knows.

And.....................................We're back. Same old ,same old. Are we going to win the league? No. Are we going to win a cup? If we get lucky! Will we get into top 6 ? If we get lucky! Will we get relegated ? No. Will it be the usual rollercoaster? Yes !! Thank goodness I forgot my password last night as I was raging coming back from Airdrie 'The real Local Derby' 1. Is it me or did nobody on the park see that giving away a throw in was as good as a corner for Airdrie!!!! 2. Who in this world would play high balls to Lawless!!! Can't fault his effort but some 18 inches in height may have helped his cause. 3. We have a greyhound in Woolery but the number of times the trap went up and the hare was missing!! O'Donnel preffering to stick to the plan and pass sideways or back!! 4. Nobody knows each other yet. Watt played some nice touches and dummies to someone not on his wavelength. 5. Tell you what, I'll cross this into the box which has two Motherwell players and seven Airdrie players!! 7.I said to my boy 'Watch this free kick' 'That's how to take them' 8. I'll be worried if things are the same come November but Airdrie are a settled team who know each other and play for each other and they know how to play the plastic pitch. We need time to gel and get a regular starting 11 . Agree with all above statements about central defence and creative midfielder also make us hard to beat first. Enjoy the ride and see you at the other side.

Thought this might bring back memories

Throwing this one out there. Do you think opposition managers have done their homework and have our tactics well and trully sussed. We have had a good start to the season , carrying on with our passing game rather than the hoofball we witnessed in the first half of last season. Our season turned around last year in January ( with the youngsters 'playing' football) .It seems to be the polar opposite now since January this year. We seem to be a one trick pony and can't change things around. Are we a team of two halves, either a good start then fade away or a crap start and turn things around. Anyhoo could be worse , could be a Jambo fan !

Hall, Erwin , Hastie and McInstry. have they had their heads been turned by Football Agents with commision on their minds? If they had stayed for another season and developed their trade here how would things have panned out. PS keep young Faddy on the radar

So bad it's good. So Las Vegas. oops Didn't upload but checkout Las Vegas soccer team strip.

I posted this back in April "We are beat before we get on the park. A new manager has come in with fresh ideas ,trying to change things ,trying to get a bunch of seasoned pros and 'journeymen' to get into his way of thinking. Baraclough was beaten before he started.Bit of contraversy now , he reminds me of a Mr Gannon who also came in with fresh ideas! What we needed was a Craig Brown to come in and steady the ship again , someone who has done the rounds and knew the Scottish game and would have kept us in with a shout of avoiding relegation. It may not have been pretty but we would have been difficult to beat" We don't need more fresh meat for our seasoned pros to feast on. The dressing room as it stands needs someone who is respected and has been around the scottish game for a few years. Someone who is not afraid to kick some comfortable butts. Come back Mark McGhee all is forgiven.

If players were on their game today we should have strolled it. Skippy was taking one touch too many instead of having a go first time. Marvin broke down 6 attacking moves in a row putting us on the back foot before he was hooked. Moult needs to get bulked up in the gym as he was being bossed about by central defenders and he only won headers against the full backs when he went wide. Laings route one usually came straight back to put defense under pressure. When is someone going to have a go from 25yds? We don't need to get it into the 18yd box to score! I feel we have the players to finish top 6 this year but we have to find 'well jerseys when we make passes.......simples. We are too easy to shut down and get put under pressure to make poor decisions. Hope things get sorted on the training pitch soon. PS can we also practise throw ins as it rips my knitting how long it takes to find a player!
