Hopefully you’re right and I’m seeing something that’s not there but I’ve never heard us talk of us train others this way when recovering.

No basis at all, perhaps you’re right but I just have a feeling that training themselves apart from the squad reeks of players not wanted or trusted by the management for some reason. Seen it happen at other clubs before.

I think Thor and possibly Stam are finished with us. I know it was said they were training themselves as not ready to train with the squad but I feel that there’s possibility more to it than that.

Show off’s bringing their own bus over just for driving about in as there’s no way they’d have not flown over.

Since the latest we can change the list is Thursday morning, I’d imagine that some on the list won’t be fit for Thursday but might be fit enough for the following Thursday and are added for that reason.

I don’t think questions need to be asked more lessons need to be learned.

There’s no way he’ll set up anything like the Stenny game, the 8 dropped players for a start will be back if fit so a different game all together.

Firstly I’m pissed off that we lost that game today, a very poor performance by most of the team, many of them playing way below their best and a good bit short of what they should produce on a bad day. Secondly AJ said in one of his interviews that we in Scotland take cup games way more seriously than in Scandinavian countries so I think the back room staff/senior players had told him and whether he ignored them or thought the line up was good enough we’ll probably never know but it’s a fuck up down to him. Thirdly on the cup v Europe thing my view is that if we’re going to sign better players, being able to say to potential signings that we finished fourth in the league, reached the 3rd qualifying round in the ECL and hope to improve on that next season beats we reached the semi final of the Scottish League Cup - it shows more ambition. I’m sure any player we’re trying to get in has played in a similar game to today and gets that shit happens as they say so I don’t think that would put them off but a bad one over the next two Thursdays might.

Matty for at least getting us to extra time and trying to play out quickly while they had players in our box - unfortunately the rest of the team were happy to try the slow build up.

Don’t agree that Connelly’s not confident playing out from the back, from what I recall apart from a couple of time where he nearly got caught - same as any player - he looked ok and managed well with our style of play. JBA was happy enough with him to let Ox go out on loan which, in my opinion, says something about the lads ability.

I’d definitely like to see some of the youngsters get some game time at least. Did Connelly not play in some of the early cup games last season? Maybe it was the Scottish cup and it’s better to keep our no.1 in while the team settles but in AJ we trust so whatever he thinks is good for me.

So tempted to go with Said but I thought Lowry was great tonight with some cutting passes - could be a great signing once others get used to him.

I might be wrong but is it not taken from who votes for them rather than someone picking him? If I’m right then someone’s taking the piss
