No sign of Blaney, NIcholson or Will Dickson in yesterday's squad, wonder if they're carrying knocks or just left out.

Still a pretty lengthy injury list as well - Oxborough, Mair, McGinn, Seddon, Callaghan (never been available I suppose...), Vale, Robinson and Stamatelopoulos 😖

SOD, Watt and Halliday should be nowhere near the starting 11. I would play Koutro, Armstrong and Slattery

I don't disagree - was thinking more about the options it provides - moving away from a back 5 would really help fill up the midfield - be interesting to see what the gaffer goes for.

I get what you say Joe, but I think suffocating Lyle Cameron will be key to any success on Wednesday. Given his undoubted  positive attributes  can we afford to instruct young Miller to stick with him like a limpet?

It would certainly take away his freedom to concentrate on the creative side of his game.

Not sure if Wimmer will be well enough briefed at this point to put someone on Cameron man for man, be interesting to see.

More likely he will concentrate on our game and try and make us the best version of ourselves we can be.

Anyone know when Stam will be back ?

last I read he was due out for a couple of weeks back in Jan , is he close to returning ? 

Beginning to think there's something going on here behind the scenes.

Hope I'm just being paranoid.

He's hardly played, spent the majority of his time in the Shire on the treatment table, a new family to look after so he probably wants back to Australia and the sunshine.

And was asked to play the headless chicken role up front by he who won't be named.

Hopefully Wimmer will play him in correct role as I think he's a player

From the media piece on Theo Bair, it looks like we have an excellent analytics team and I would expect Wimmer to be fully briefed on all opponents.

Aye fair enough.

Keep forgetting fitba has moved on!

I suppose it makes the "having a manager who knows the league" argument a bit redundant!

oh there has been a few  pieces of nonsense on line saying he is refusing to play and wants away.

That would be very disappointing.

Any substance to these rumours? Or is it idle speculation?

I suspect its nonsense , cant see any substance behind it. Mind you he just couldn't have been happy with our style of play under SK, what striker would be.  Theres a million miles between that and not wanting to play so I suspect it the usual internet bollocks. Same shite that says Barry Ferguson is getting the Rangers Job 🤣

 

Update: seems the Barry Ferguson thing is a possibility until seasons end. Very strange. Hope he has a great run and they give it to him permanently. Should ensure years of fun ahead. A detestable wee thug.

Given the pretty public takeover chat, a 'Rangers man' willing to hold the fort until the owners come in was my initial guess. I suspect Bill Leckie won't give Rangers stick though when they appoint the inevitable foreigner rather than a Scottish manager...

Our injury list is almost laughable. The sooner this season over, and the clear out taken place, the better. 

It is ridiculous.

It's also why we have a bloated squad, because even with 30 players, we struggle some weeks to find a fully fit matchday squad.

IMO we have got the worst squad of players I can recall since 1967/68 when we went down. I think where we are right now, that talking about tactics and formations etc. is a complete waste of time.

Those picked to play against Dundee should be told that their job is a straightforward one - go out, put in a shift and win the f*cking game because they owe it to the club and the fans.
