I see Vale is out for a 'lengthy period' with a calf injury. SOD won't be playing either, hopefully there's nothing broken but it definitely wasn't a good idea to play on and take that throw in. We should have taken more points off St Mirren last season so we owe them one here. Robinson will have been rubbing his hands watching some of our first half play so we will need to improve from kick off over the last few games.

I voted for Casey but it could have been Ox or Miller. Casey's aggression is huge in a team that is quite passive. He made some big defensive contributions and played a big part in the opening goal attacking the rebound from Miller's shot at a time when a lot of defenders would have been happy to wait for the half time whistle.

A cracking end to the night after a dire first 45 minutes with Goodwin and Kettlewell doing their best Steve Clarke impersonations. The second half was better and we should probably have scored a few more. Big performances from Oxborough, Casey and Miller with Kaleta doing well off the bench and Moses delivering more magic in the box.

Like what? Touches and passes show up in stats so it must be something that doesn't involve ball.

Unbelievable.

Ok first quarter final where you don't have to deal with mockit Celtic fans since 2018.

It's our first home quarter final since 2018 so it's quite a big deal.

On the subject of our crowds we aren't going to get much of an uplift when we are making it difficult for high school kids to attend and offering no PATG. Caldwell seems to be in fantasy land about who our support actually are.

You can watch the highlights on YouTube and see that they are lying about their crowds. The crowds they are claiming would require about 75% attendance in all three home stands and it's clearly nowhere near that.

Maybe but unsurprisingly the £10m figure leaked leaked out to get the fans excited.

Aye the limited information makes me think there's going to be a catch. Although I think we can be certain that FoH won't be paying in an extra £9m for a reduced shareholding..... The big question seems to be what percentage FoH will be left with. They have 75.1% at the moment and i suspect if the plan was to keep them above 50% that would already be public.

Has anyone seen any details of the percentages involved in the Hearts investment offer? Tony Bloom has a net worth of £1.3bn so it's a bit different from Erik who could only afford to put in £300,000 a year while taking out £500,000.

When you combine the games where we didn't score with the games where we only scored after emptying the bench and changing formation then it's clear that the starting formation and tactics are brutal and overly negative. Over 10 games this season so far the only starting 11 goals from open play are Moses against Clyde and the Rangers defender scoring an OG under no pressure.

That will just be a double translation issue. Jack and James both come from the name Jacob.

Robinson only managed 3 passes in 58 minutes yesterday. In Perth it was 4 passes in 45 minutes. He's beyond rank and needs dropped.

Maswanhise has struggled apart from versus 10 men against Killie. Tavares looked lively but similar to when I've seen him for Hibs his end product was very poor. Vale worked hard but no quality as usual. Halliday is getting bossed by the oppsition every single week. Our attacking play is still very poor as it was for most of last season. Attempting to attack through SOD is going exactly as well as it in each of the past two seasons.

If he plays Miller out of position again it should be a sackable offence.

Looking at what we have signed this has to be the worst window we've ever had. 17 players and only Liam Gordon looks decent.

Too little too late. As usual with Kettlewell the starting line up and tactics were rank rotten. A brilliant trait for a manager.

He was too far away from him.

Miller has been quality in the second half in his correct position. Wilson sold the second goal.

When Halliday went off we fell out it. Not the triple sub.

Took a midfielder off and immediately fell out the game. 5-1-4 doesn't work. Imagine that.

Tony Watt in don't give a fuck mode here.

The difference with Miller in centre mid rather than Davor is massive.
