  1. If we had good forward thinking fullbacks, I think we would be well suited to a 4312, allowing various permatations in midfield and upfront and providing Vigurs and McFaddden some much needed freedom. Given the lack of mobility offered by Ramsden and Hammell though, I do think we need to consider moving to a 3412. I don't trust either defensively but ZFA and Kerr would offer some much needed pace and energy up the wings with Carswell and Lawson mopping up behind them.
  2. Spot on. Had we signed McManus at the beginning of the summer, I doubt we would have signed both Kerr and Ramsden. Sutton was signed without having a strike partner in mind. And Vigurs seems like a bit of an afterthought subsequent to us missing out on Wylde and Vigurs' Oldham move falling through. Vigurs is a good player but he was a success at Ross County due to having a team build around him. He's getting hung out to dry a wee bit at the moment by trying to fit him into the Law role.
  3. As well as needing some pace and width, we need someone to link up the play. Higginbothan would have been a solid signing and possibly prevented us resorting to the long ball shite.
  4. Can only assume Lawson was nowhere near fit today or he would have brought on by half time, at the latest.
  5. McGinn is a right good player. Aberdeen have done well to hang onto him after doing so well last season.
  6. Precisely. Got what we deserved today after our pathetic approach to Thurs.
  7. Anier by a mile. Very impressive shift after running himself into the ground on Thurs. Hopefully his enthusiastic approach stands the test of time.
  8. Today would have been acceptable if we had we went full pelt in Russia. Next time McCall opts to rest a few players and plan ahead for a 'big game', make sure you leave behind players that are well drilled in dragging you through the game in question. Aberdeen by far the better team today, enjoyed watching the link up play of Pawlett, Hayes and McGinn. Early days for us but we haven't came close to replacing the quality we lost in the summer. Today may put to bed the theory that Vigurs is a replacement for Law.
  9. Lasley covers more ground than most of his counterparts. Indeed so far this season he has looked much fitter than Lawson. Tremendous servant to the club and should be playing with us until he retires.

  11. 2/1 caught the eye but surely the suitably refreshed Sutton, Vigurs and McFadden will be too good for them...
  12. Lawless is a talented boy and should have been given a new contract. if necessary, he could have been loaned out for a few months last season to get game time. Now we are toiling for a winger while someone like Bob McHugh sits on a 2 year contract
  13. Delighted to see Lawless scoring a couple today. Looking forward to seeing him at Fir Park in a few weeks. Major point to prove.
  14. Anier, battled away well with little support. Looking forward to see him pair up with Surton. Solid game from the keeper but I don't think he covered himself in glory at the goal.
  15. Was with John Barnes on sportsound. Heat must have went to his head.
  16. McCall has yet to see the wingers we are planning to look at.
  17. McHugh goal would have been the 'icing on the cake'. Fuck off McCall.
  18. Can't wait for this game. Road to Europe starts now.
  19. If we had signed Higginbotham on a 2 year deal I'd have rated that as one of our best signings of the summer. Boy has bags of talent, just needs time to establish himself in his preferred role behind a striker. I think he would have been an indirect replacement for Ojamaa. Not to worry, we have Lasley and 2 fullbacks supporting Anier tonight.
  20. Just can't get my head round why you sign experience like McFadden and then don't use him on the European stage, fitness permitting. Genuinely thought we were taking it seriously this year.
  21. Not so sure about that, he pulled off some remarkable results over the years.
  22. Pa Broon on the telly talking up our chances, saying a goal for us could turn the tie on its head. Despite his flaws, he certainly didn't go into any game with an inferiority complex.
  23. Hugely disappointed but not surprised.
  24. St Mirren fan on P&B suggesting we have shown a late interest in Adam Campbell. Can't see us signing another striker but he sounds like a very good prospect by all accounts.
