Tamwell

I just wonder if changing the manager again is the answer? I know I’m in the minority with this at this point though.

What do you suggest?

Gent, tremendous effort.

Weird one today. I thought we played some decent football at times and seemed much more confident in defence than we have in previous weeks. Delighted that Gent and Davor had strong performances today, Gent should be one of the first names on the team sheet from now on and I’d expect to see Davor feature much more too. The mistake from Kelly at the St Johnstone goal is amateur stuff, really poor and I don’t think Obika offered much - he can hold up the ball pretty well, but that’s it eh? Absolutely murder in front of goal. The goal we score is sublime. When I was leaving today, I heard someone say “they were gutted we scored” and I’ve seen a lot of that on social media and on this thread too. I can’t get my head round that way of thinking. It’s fucking bizarre. when we punted Hammel and Alexander the players had totally downed tools, it seemed hopeless, but I don’t get that feeling with this team. They’re all up for it, I just don’t think the quality is there. There is obviously an argument that much of this team are Kettlewell signings, of course, so do we trust him with the transfer window? I really don’t know. My gut tells me that sacking SK at this stage would be a mistake, but I do think we need to be having a major conversation about how our club is being run from the top. Anyways, had wee Mika at 9/4 anytime goal scorer so I proper fucking enjoyed that one.

Bevis

This is my line of thinking too. We’ve got a narrative today of “10 men defying the odds and equalising in the last minute” it completely papers over those cracks of the 2 wholly unacceptable goals we lost in the first half. Those aren’t bad players losing those goals, it’s poor coaching and the wrong formation, maybe? FWIW I really like SK and I hope he turns it round (obviously) but we need to be having the discussion now, particularly with the January window approaching.

Don’t check in here often, this made it totally worthwhile 😂

Btw weeyin, I hate playing this card, but I’m a season ticket holder in the East stand so was in a great position to view his first half performance , that boy covered more blades of grass than any one else in that first half. His output was phenomenal and should be held up as an example of what we need right now. The fact he was played out of position and expected to cover so much ground is down to the tactical decisions made. He is MOTM for well, there’s no doubt.

Playing Wilkinson at all is a sacking offence

He was given far too much to do and played out of position, guy was blowing out his arse.

Today was the day that the credit ran out. Awful team selection, that stubborn approach to playing out of form players. Shoogly peg.

Spittal. By a million miles.

Today I saw Spittal at left back, at half time we put a right back at left back, before finally bringing a left back on. Big Bevis played up front. These things actually happened.

Aye, this sums it up for me. I really like Tierney, seems like a nice guy and runs like fuck when he’s brought on, but we’ve had 3 managers who didn’t fancy him and that’ll do for me. Good luck to him!

A real tough watch yesterday, all the hallmarks of a pre season friendly - which obviously it would have been before the new league cup format. Still tinkering with team and tactics, a few players not quite there yet (some seem a lot further back than others) but no reason to panic just yet. There were glimpses of a right good team in there at times too, nice movement on and off the ball, just lacking an end product. Defence was much improved from Tuesday night too.

Hiya btw! Don’t think I’ve posted In aboot 10 years 😂 there’s my tuppence worth anyway

Incredible support down in Dumfries tonight, we probably deserved better but, it’s July so let’s not get too carried away. QOTS are well organised and exploited our defensive weaknesses on the counter, that’s pretty much it. We were the better team for most of the game, but we were poor defensively. Not just in Lamie and mugabi, but In midfield too. I’m sure SK will be drilling it into them, but we can’t go into the league season like that. We need Casey and Butcher, our depth in defence is really worrying.

He's a cunt.

How we managed to win that 4-0, I'll never know. Sign of a very good team though!

Aye, he's turned that round pretty quickly

Saw Marvin Johnson trending on Twitter. Doesn't seem too popular with the Middlesborough support!!!

Heard he's been spotted lifting the European cup in 1967. Edit, found the pic in question

25 million for Tierney ,VAR. Fitba's up the shitter.

No matter what, let's just wish Davie the best. He's been an absolute joy to watch. I don't think we'll see him in claret and amber again, similarly I don't think we'll see him in green and white, what I do know is, we'll make a shitload of money out the fella and he'll have a magnificent career regardless. Deserved.

That tweet from Celtic is one of the most unprofessional clusterfucks from a social media account that I've ever seen. Absolutely tremendous! What are they trying to achieve with that?
