I think Bair is a red herring, it was made clear that he was here on washers, he isn’t taking up a wage that could go to someone else. The idea was that he would be moulded in the background and see if he could be turned into a player. Then everyone got injured. He has proved to be more effective than a couple of the other strikers so he has stayed around the squad. If we are criticising signings there are many other targets who were signed as first team players.

These windows are actually registration windows. Clubs could hire players at any time but can only register them to play in the next window (unless they weren’t registered with another club when signed). Shane Blaney arrived in December but we couldn’t play him till January.

Yes booked against both Arbroath and Raith Rovers.

They still do, it’s just hopelessly out of date, here is the latest one

‘Callum Slattery will serve his one match suspension after the midfielder picked up his sixth booking against Celtic.’ Odd, suspensions usually kick in 2 weeks after the accumulation of sufficient cards.

A suspension for Christmas is the dream

Or PJ Morrison (?) or Steve Hetherington or David Devine or Morgyn Neill.

3-6-1 reverting to 5-4-1 when required (most of the match).

I am not interested in changing the manager at the moment but he needs to give himself a shake, someone at the club needs to have a word and get him to go back to the simple things that brought him success last season. No more overthinking things.

Up to 8th

Wonderful indeed, was he not on crutches on Saturday?

The notion that KVV gets the credit for the run last year and SK gets none is nonsense. That being the case you couldn’t criticise the manager for recent performances as it’s all down to the players.

Keeper had to save McGinn’s pass back

Kilmarnock?

He’s giving it a go, lumping it forward?

As mentioned one of my frustrations is the lack of shots, we approach the box then switch it wide. Bair took a shot and scored. Until anyone else achieves this I think he should start.

Bevis had a soft header that bounced before the keeper collected it (then he body checked him for some reason).

Their keeper got booked in what could only be described as a token yellow card because he wasn’t really time wasting.

Did this happen?

Concerned that Wilkinson will be done by the time Biereth comes on.

He had two early goals for us ruled out due to debatable infringements then stuck on the bench for six months. He didn’t do enough when he came on but his time with us could have gone a different way.

Both clubs requested to play this match on Tuesday but it has been turned down.

More room on the pitch in the second half

I don’t believe that is the suggestion, it is a squad game, we don’t need to stick to the same 11 players.

Are there teams that we could take Mugabi out the back 3 against? Keep the busy midfield (albeit less support from the full backs) and get 2 up front. Probably not, no width.
