    I'm not surprised SOD has been doing OK under the new system. For all his faults, he was always comfortable with the ball at his feet and could pick out a man with a pass.

    I went for Just, though, who must have covered about 10 miles yesterday.

    Was ODonnell captain yesterday? Have I missed that he’s taken over the captaincy from McGinn?
    he’s been doing really well, long may it continue. In the words of yogi hughes “he’s a gid big honest laddie.”

    Wimmer was constrained by the fact he arrived when the season was in full swing, and didn't have a preseason to instill his style into the players. As a result, compromises had to be made to balance his new philosophy with avoiding relegation and winning games.

    What is true, I think, is that his ideas prepared the squad for JBA, so they already had an idea of what was required to play this way.

    I think the powers at be have did well with the JBA appointment, I know it’s early but I get a better vibe from him that he’s here for the long haul than I did with Wimmer. I liked Wimmer, he seemed a genuinely good guy but I’m not sure whether it was his grasp of English or demeanour but I never felt he looked that comfortable here.

    JBA looks comfortable, he’s clearly got ambition to do well here, his teams play nice football, his English is phenomenally good, he talks up the support and overall I don’t see any negatives from him so far.
    Would we have taken over 1000 fans to Perth yesterday under Kettlewell……. That’s a NO!!

    That’s because he’s always reactive, a step behind the play, and never the one making things happen.

    He’s just did that again, another half chance and a terrible touch. he’s been rotten today. He’s not a player I dislike either but he’s been well off it today.

    His parent club wasn’t a direct rival known as the rangers. 

    My main gripe is that the central midfield is so important in this new set up and he’s going to miss games, it’s disruptive.
    And has he really been good when he’s played for Rangers? The support I know havnt been that impressed? He did quite well in a European game and he started a cup game against a lower league side and he was hooked at half time? 
    i’m not convinced with youngsters from rangers anyway, I think they are cursed with a “I’ve made it already” attitude. Lowry went out on loan and was rotten, the boy Devine wasn’t great. I just don’t think they get good habits at rangers. Similar to youngsters at Celtic. Maybe that’s why they have such an appalling record at bringing in youths 

    Anyway, I doubt it’ll happen!!

  5. Turnbull is a definite no go, I think he’ll be at Cardiff for another 2 years and see out his contract. Crazy money involved down there.

    as for Rice, even if he does come and does well, he’d need removed any time we played Rangers, I just think it screws up team dynamics when we get a loanee from SPFL teams. Not just for those weeks he’s not allowed to play but a week or so after it when he gets back in the team. 

    If we could sign him permanently great, I’d take him then but is he the type to take a drop in pay To kick start his career? I’m not so sure.

    Vietnam flashbacks!!!!!! Gardiner v Hearts 😢

    ……. And Stevie Woods was a terrible keeper, only goalie I ever saw who made the goals look bigger for a striker…. but apparently a good coach and a decent guy.
