A decent point but the game was there for the taking and it seemed like we were going to push for the win with our subs until Donnelly's stupidity. It's a point gained on Hearts and Aberdeen this week. Our attack is toothless at the moment and we need a new striker. I doubt Connor Shields would start for anyone else in the league and he's been miles off the standard the past two games. That should be a Polworth moment for Donnelly, he's not fit enough to play the holding role and he's too poor on the ball for the position he's played the last three games. Good luck at your next club Liam. GA needs to get more out the bench. 66 minutes for Shields, was anyone thinking after 55 we need another 11 minutes of what he was bringing? Donnelly totally ineffective, towing a caravan and on a yellow, he could have came off any time in the 15 minutes before he got himself sent off. If Plan A results in 2 shots on target we need a plan B. The positives were the defence was solid and Carroll looks comfortable. Maguire is immense without the ball it's just a shame he's not better on it. Shaun Maloney is like a mini Gannon trying to get Hibs to score the perfect goal playing out the back despite it being about 1000-1 shot of coming off. That's 1 goal in three games verus Celtic, Cove and us and no shots on target last night in front of a decent away support. They got good money for Boyle but they will find it hard to replace him and I can see their fans not having much patience with Maloney's tactics if they don't get a result soon.

Donnelly hasn't played against the Old Firm, Aberdeen and Hearts. I don't think you can compare them at this point. Hopefully we make more passes tonight than we usually do.

I looked for this the other day but Whoscored.com doesn't collect stats for cup games. It felt like Donnelly went about 30 minutes in the second half without a successful pass.

Alexander has worked with him before so he's not going to be a total diddy but playing in Vietnam and Malaysia is very different to playing in the Premiership. Bevis disappearing at the weekend and now this raises some questions.

So there should be no checks tomorrow. The guy hounding Burrows on Twitter about the club not doing enough checks is going to be raging.

Hopefully we will be at full strength tomorrow. Slattery has had probably his two best games against Hibs so if he's fit start him. McGinley offers so little in attack and is a liability in defence so get him dropped. Kelly SOD Sol Ojala Carroll Slattery Maguire Goss Woolery KVV Roberts We only made 2 changes before we went behind on Saturday which was pretty stupid. GA has five subs tomorrow and he needs to get a positive impact from the bench.

If yesterday was a trial run to see how we play without KVV starting then you would have to think Alexander will desperate to get another striker in as that front three did not work together at all.

We were shocking. Our tactics in the first half involved having McGinley as a main attacker. Two midfielders either standing on the touchline or doing nothing plus Maguire trying to play. No attacking threat through the middle

It should still be his last appearance for us.

I might be wrong but I think that line up has scored 5 goals between them this season.

Does Alexander just not like cups?

He didn't escape my criticism on here. He was a disgrace.

Well done to Burrows for getting the game postponed when we were in good form. A masterstroke.

Aye but the first one was never a foul.

The midfield has been terrible. We get nothing in attack from the full backs. Our set pieces have been horrific. Our long throws are embarrassing. Use of subs shite. Back to the drawing board.

Aye but that was a mistake. Look where Donnelly is standing when the ball is crossed, he could have gotten back to support Bevis if he wasn't a lazy prick.

Nathan McGinley is fucking hopeless. Donnelly ball watching again.

Donnelly's effort at covering back on the goal can be described as minimal. Get Slattery on.

Hard to see us scoring twice tonight.

Liam Donnelly having a nightmare.

If Donnelly doesn't up his game he'll have an opportunity soon. A cagy opening but we look more dangerous.

That has to be the tallest team we've ever put out. It would be a big boost if Jordan Roberts can kickstart his season.

Anyways..... Charles Hungbo is the danger tonight. County are completely reliant on him so hopefully we can keep him quiet. The team will be interesting. Alexander is poker faced with injuries and illness so it could be anything after the Covid issues we have supposedly had.

Watt never kicked a ball at Airdrie in the cup game when he was also trying to work his ticket. The fee isn't great but the value from not having a disruptive influence around the dressing room might be. As for The Thumb. A gambling addict who socialises with gangsters. It's a no. Even him living in Bothwell is too close for comfort. Hopefully he gets a move to Peterhead or Cove.

Hibs are rotten. The new centre half was away for a pie at the first goal and Cadden was probably their best player. We should go hard at them next week.
