I have the fear big time for this one. Hopefully SK keeps the same team, if possible, but if he makes unnecessary changes and we go out then the pressure will be right back on him. I stand by my prediction of us to wear our change kit even though we don’t need to (I know, I know, commercial reasons etc) and for us to lose.

An excellent night. A much needed win and by a far bigger winning margin than anyone would have thought, but thoroughly deserved. Andy Halliday put in a great contribution until he went off, took his goal well and was solid. A great penalty from Thelonius Bair! He’s brimming with confidence And without a doubt Blair Spittal’s finest performance in our colours. A good night all round 😁

Wow! That was tremendous.

Halliday injured?

Super penalty. That’s a sign of a player full of confidence.

Good stuff so far. We’re by far the better side and deserve our 2-0 lead. This one is there for us, we need to keep at it.

Andrew WILLIAM HALLIDAY!!!!!!!! Get in there big man!!!

I don’t get it either. Still as long as we get the three points tonight it’s not a big deal and you’d hope that given that that team played okay on Saturday then they’d be capable of doing the same and going one better tonight.

Unchanged lineup from Saturday.

Which is why tonight is "must win" regardless of what anyone says. One win in nineteen and playing a side below us in the league at home before away games against Aberdeen and Hearts and then at home to Celtic. We won't win any of those games but we can and MUST win tonight.

Morton also went to East End Park yesterday and thrashed Dunfermline 5-0. There's not a hope in hell we could do that. They will definitely fancy their chances against us and rightly so.

If we can’t beat Ross County at home then I think we’re in serious trouble. We have improved but we’ve a long way to go yet and we now need victories rather than draws. One league win in nineteen is relegation form and although we are also on a run of one loss in seven if we don’t start turning draws into wins then it’s going to become more and more of a mental stumbling block and, more importantly, we risk being sucked into the playoff zone.

Got a bad feeling about this one. 2-0 Morton. And no doubt we will wear our change kit even though there is no colour clash.

We need to win this one. And it’s our best chance to win a game since the Livingston home game in late December. Our recent performances have shown *some* encouraging signs. I’m letting heart rule head and saying that I think we will win here. But. If we don’t then we are in serious trouble. 2-0 us.

His workrate has never been in question, just his ability to deliver but he’s started showing that he can in fact deliver goals over the last month and a half. His confidence has increased significantly in that time too, which isn’t a coincidence. If he had a proper striker like prime Moult or KvV to support him then he would go from strength to strength.

Bair has been superb of late. If he is a ‘project’ then it’s working. His confidence has improved significantly since mid/late December.

We win this one, right? We have to.

Not the worst result and a decent performance, but yet again no win. Tuesday night is absolutely massive.

A poor start but we finished by far the better side. Great goal from Bair! This is there for us. We need to make this one count.

He’s got Vassell, Watkins and Armstrong to pick for his starting eleven though. Unlike us they actually had decent options before they signed Stewart and van Veen.

Unchanged line up and despite signing umpteen fullbacks SO’D keeps his place. I don’t even know why I am surprised. Kettlewell is a dunderheid.

Perhaps his injury was also a factor in them recalling him. They loan him out in August and a week later is out injured thanks to a shocking tackle from a hammer thrower. Scottish football gets a reputation for being full of dirty players and hatchet men and that would have played right into that stereotype. Then he comes back and they're watching him basically being the one quality player in a mediocre team. Just my view as you said, I don't know if that's exactly what happened or not, but it could well have been a factor.

It'll be a tough one today, a battle. I think a point today and three points on Tuesday is the most likely scenario but would love all three today too.

Absolutely and it's also very possible that Arsenal themselves were not impressed with how we were 'aiding his development' given our turgid, dismal style of play each week. They would certainly have been keeping tabs on his progress here and would have been less than thrilled and they, his agent and Biereth himself realised that all parties could do alot better than us. And I wouldn't blame any of them one bit if they did think that.

There is a split and indeed I’m not even sure myself which side I’m currently on. I don’t want to see us part company with yet another manager, he would be the third in less than two years, but at the same time we can’t go on as we are. One win in eighteen league matches is relegation form and after the way the transfer window has gone if we don’t get at least one win from this home double header then I don’t see a way back for Kettlewell. I’ve already got ‘Hammell at Starks Park’ or ‘Baraclough at Cappielow’ feelings about next Friday night. And ironically we’ll be back at the ground where it ended for Baraclough. I can see it going the same way for SK.
