SOD?

Ugly and effective beats Pretty ineffective tonight I'm afraid. Robinson had the measure of us from the start. We're weak at the back and toothless up front. Slow and ponderous on the ball allowing the opposition to get back into shape. Awful stuff.

You're 100% correct and as we saw yesterday and against st mirren teams have recognised that and are exploiting it. He's been given a torrid time in both games. Surely JGR is the better option at right back with either SOD or JKL partnering Moormann in the middle.

I don't think expecting a result yesterday was entirely hype. We were up against a Rangers team who have had a mediocre start to the season and by all accounts have been rotten in every game they've played. That plus we've become accustomed to beating McInnes teams sometimes fairly easily in the past. Their form was always going to improve and we were on the end of it yesterday. Beat but we move on.

In fairness to Paulsen he's made a decision and the player has anticipated it well. Always a time and place to hoof it from danger though. That could have derailed the guy but in the end he prevented a cricket score. I'll let him off on that basis.

Could always register Neil Alexander in an emergency. Bit off topic but is Davie Henderson still at the club? Haven't seen him about? At least I don't think he's been one of our physios on the pitch.

That's me just up. Have we survived unscathed? 😁

We've recruited well so far but I'm not having that. Moormann's been good but Welsh was a level above in my opinion.

You can say that again

I wouldn't call it stupidity tbf. The boy bullied him and he got the tackle wrong on the stretch.

Comebacks on. I love this team. Never say die COYW

I'll give Willy patience and time to come good but on first impression he's no Don Goodman.

Absolutely. Plenty to be learning from. I always wonder though and I'm no expert by any means. Is the physicality and athleticism side entirely down to fitness and gym work or is an element of that down to genetics? I don't believe our players put any less effort in in training then they do. Are clubs with better resources just able to identify players with better athleticism as well as footballing ability?

The goals lost can be blamed on defending all day but let's be realistic. The first was a header from an experienced, 6 foot plus forward with 51 caps for the German national team. That, coupled with the delivery would be difficult for any team in our league to defend. The third the guy was given a free header unfortunately but by that point we were down to 10 and done in so I'll cut the boys some slack there. We held our own against a superior team for large parts of the game last night and were well in it in the second half. Disappointing result of course but we can be proud of the performance and the effort the boys put in for sure.

You're alright, I got it. £9.99 I'll never get back

Yep, they've been more likely. Anything can happen in the cup. We've been miles off it today unfortunately.

We've seen it all before. Lower league opposition on their own patch, full of energy, enthusiasm and a desire to do well in these competitions against the big boys. If this goes the distance to 90 it's anyone's game.

Me neither. App wont even link to the TV. Shambles

Where about? Asking for a friend 😇

Apologies if this has been asked already. Is the game on the box?

Got mine sorted. Lost my own seat last night because I fannied about not buying my tickets til the last minute. The crowd will likely surpass that of last night's and expect more away fans also.

Utterly dominant from start to finish. One of the most memorable nights I've had at Fir Park. Enjoy the bragging rights tomorrow Well fans and be sure to get tore into those of the blue side of Glasgow. 😁

This pitch is killing us. Abomination of a surface

Nothing like that yet but he does commentate with an air of suspicion in his voice 😂

The balls like velcro on this pitch.
