The formation looks similar to when Alexander was changing the tactics on a weekly basis and played a 5-2-3 away to St Johnstone. We lost 2-1. Blair Spittal better ready to put a shift in or we are going to get a severe doing.
-
Big Bair will be chasing bouncing balls and hopefully Mika can get on the end of something. Big Wilkinson will be like Bambi on Ice on this surface.
-
There isn't a single area of the park where there's an easy, in form selection for tomorrow. If we can get a point it'll be a great result.

I'm not sure about that. The squad last season had Goss, Furlong and Johnston who played well most weeks in the second half of the season. If Kettlewell doesn't survive this bad form he's only got himself to blame. Plays three centre backs but was happy to start the season with just McGinn, Mugabi, Blaney and Casey. Plays a formation that relies on wingbacks to support the forwards then starts O'Donnell every week and a right footed player on the left. He only added Paton and Davor in the middle of the park who have zero presence. He thinks he can rely on Slattery and Spittal to create despite them having no pace to speak of. Has zero wingers in the squad. Brings in four utterly shite strikers. We've played 10 league games plus the St Mirren cup game and only scored 2 first half goals. Then we've scored another 2 between 45-75 minutes then 8 from 15 minutes of normal time to go. Those figures alone tell you the manager doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

He should have cleaned up the loose ball after Casey's challenge at the third. It was the same in the Scotland game in Paris where he was ball watching and allowed the ball to go out for a corner which cost the equaliser. He's a good instinctive goal keeper when the ball is near him but his decision making is terrible. The Celtic opener a few weeks ago he's panicked from a cross/shot that any decent goalie simply moves their feet and gathers.
-
Wilkinson is the guy they identified. Kettlewell and Daws are hopeless.
-
If the opposition have the freedom to bring the ball up and pass it into the final third under zero pressure they will make chances. If you combine that with the fact the only way we can get up the park due to our hopeless strikers (other than Mika) is to play tight passes and throw too many bodies forward then we will lose goals because we have no defensive shape.
-
The definitely did. They stretched the park easily because we were unable to press them and had free men all the time because after playing couple of passes Wilkinson, Slattery and Spittal were all in no man's land.
-
If he doesn't pull out a win in the next three games he has to go. Can't defend and can't score unless we are chasing the game. He's an imposter.
-
He unbelievably bad. He's got zero work rate and no footballing ability. I don't think I've seen that combination before.
-
Liam Kelly has chucked it.
-
He can go at the end of the season.
-
We asked them to delay the second half so we could look for a real manager.
-
We have a 4 man midfield on paper but in reality it's 2 men and two chancers standing 30 yards away from them ball watching. Getting outcoached by Barry Robson should be the end of him after our recent struggles but he'll probably limp on to the break.
-
Kettlewell is an absolute imposter.
-
Who fucked us losing possession?
-
Spittal and Slattery are a pair of lazy cunts.
-
SOD killing us again. Get him to fuck.
-
Paul McGinn starting RWB please.
-
Hearts managed to bottle it.
-
The ref in the Killie Vs Aberdeen game just ignored one of the most blatant back passes you'll ever see. The standard of reffing is terrible at the moment. It's definitely been made worse by VAR, the Ryan Strain handball Vs Rangers the other week was somehow missed by all three on the pitch officials. They seem to be instructed to give as little as possible and VAR will pick up the decisions that might get a mention on Sportscene.
-
Mika was limping a bit on his injured knee as he walking about after the full time whistle. I doubt he has a start in him. I think we will go back to the 5-4-1 with Miller coming back in and Wilkinson starting up front. I'd put McGinn out to RWB and bring in either Butcher or Blaney depending on who's fit. Try to keep it tight for an hour then unleash Mika. Luca Ross also gives us the option to go 4-3-3, Shaw and Bair should get used to sitting on the bench.
-
We haven't won any of our last 5. We haven't even been ahead in any of the games. If we get to 9 games without a win it's a major crisis. We have Aberdeen (H), Kilmarnock (A), St Johnstone (A), Hearts (H) in the space of 12 days before the break.
-
Does anyone know if Brodie Spencer was injured when he was subbed?
-
Hibs and Hearts have picked up since their poor starts and Aberdeen have too much fire power to be in the bottom six long term. With St Mirren playing well the likelihood is we are in a fight to avoid 11th with County, Livi, Dundee and Killie. We need at least 1 win before the next international break or it's looking bleak.
