It was already going to be a tough game, and now we also need to deal with the Manager of the Month curse. Still looking forward to it, though. Could be a classic.

Didn't need to include Kelly in his tweet, then. Would have worked perfectly fine with just McLaughlin. (And I read it here, not in The Sun). Including Kelly made him sound as out of touch as most politicians when they jump on the footballing bandwagon.

Well that's just knocked a zero off our cut of his next transfer.

They're not the only culprits. I got that from The Scotsman, and there was another article yesterday in there claiming Kelly's form had been erratic.

Is this the guy that tweeted "Utterly farcical decision. Not only is @Zanderr1 a better keeper than both Kelly & McLaughlin, he's playing regularly & in top form which u can't say about Liam & Jon. How are clubs like St Johnstone supposed to keep our best players if they must move to get Scotland recognition?” So he's claiming that Kelly doesn't play regularly and isn't in top form? And completely misses the point that he moved TO Scotland to get international recognition? He sounds like an eejit.

That's true.

I don't think they think he's good enough. They'll be looking for "a name".

Scott Brown - with Strachan helping him out in his 3rd job.

Glass will be gone before Gallagher.

I don't blame the journos - they have to write what the editor/owners tell them to write.

Watt's heading in the right direction for another call up, but if there's one thing you can count on with Steve Clarke it's that he likes to stick with what he has. And given the result from the Austria game, he was never going to deviate far from that set of players. While that's tougher on guys like Watt trying to get into the squad, it's better for guys like O'Donnell who Clarke trusts to execute his game plan (regardless of what some people on here think of him).

There's a difference between a long ball and a pass. That was definitely a pass.

Cheers.

Going for Slattery again. Partly because of his overall performance, but also because a goal-scoring shot that's so pure the ball doesn't spin is a thing of beauty. (Or I would, but it won't let me vote).

Bottom line is, there are many posters on here that don't rate him - which is fine, we all like/dislike different players. The "looking for things you don't like on social media" is just 21st century villagers and pitchforks with very selective standards. If Tony Watt is spotted in the crowd at the Celtic game on Thursday, there will be a sum total of zero outrage because, just like his texting with Liam Boyce, has no bearing on how well he plays for us.

A quote from Tony Watt this week about the Hearts game: Is this OK, or should we be punting him too, because it sounds like he is trying to help Liam Boyce score goals?

Watching the EFL highlights show, it's amazing how many players from those leagues that have made appearances for us. Just in the last segment alone, Callum Lang with one goal and one assist for Wigan and Conor Grant (remember him?) scores a late pen for Plymouth Argyle. Quickly followed by Chris Porter slotting a pen for Crewe.

That result means we've taken more points from our last six games than any other team.

Considering our struggles to find Scottish strikers to play at international level, he's definitely worth a look. He offers something different to Dykes and Adams, and that can be an advantage. He needs to maintain his levels, though.

His quote from yesterday regarding scoring and celebrating his goal - "Words can’t describe how this feels, it just feels like home here"

I don't know what the goal tally will be, but I reckon 1 - 1 on red cards is a decent shout.

Has the makings of a classic.

He's been involved every week. Works hard on and off the ball. Good tackler. Never wastes a pass, has a footballing brain in his head and can take care of himself when things get physical.

If we can get Goss and Slattery fit at the same time, that should give us some quality in the midfield.

Agree about the performance. It's a good sign, however, that GA has instilled a mindset (and a shape) that is getting results while we look for improvement.
