The opposite of when Jim McLean was Utd manager. They'd let you have the ball for 70% of the game and you'd leave with a 4 - 0 defeat.

Agreed. He looked much more like the close quarters finisher I was expecting. Not just from his goals, but he was getting himself in the right positions more often and gambling on where the ball might end up.

Stama narrowly misses out on winning the match ball, but SK now gets to put Jim Goodwin on his shelf. Take your pick...

Just keep throwing that spaghetti against the wall and some it will eventually stick.

Didn't take long for VAR to spoil the game today.

Utd easily win the "ugly Christmas jumper" competition.

SOD, Sparrow and Nicholson all on the bench. A good time to have some of our walking wounded come back into contention, as we'll be needing to rotate a few over Dec/Jan.

That's true, but you can use that guarantee of future payments (at least if they're from a team like Liverpool) to secure loans for your projects.

Frail was saying Kouttroumbis has recovered fitness after his injury, but is not match sharp. In the old days he'd get a few games in the reserves to help with that. These days, we need competitive bounce games for players to get match fit. However, because of the busy December fixture schedule we can't play any bounce games, so the options for Johnny K to get match fit will be limited.

Justice was served.

Also in the Well Society newsletter a couple of weeks ago.

The (tough) question for Miller is will he end up as another face in the development squad with those teams, or will he be given a realistic opportunity to get into the first team. 10 million and back on loan with us, sounds ideal though...

When we signed him, steelboy said Sparrow "would bring heehaw" to the club, so I was quite optimistic he'd be decent.

Former 'Well and, wait for it... ...former Celtic, Plymouth Argyle, St Johnstone, CSKA Sofia, Kilmarnock, APOEL, Omonia, Jagiellonia Białystok, Wellington Phoenix, Ironi Kiryat Shmona, Wisła Płock, Dundee, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Queen’s Park player Cillian Sheridan has joined Brechin City.

Lineup depends entirely on who we crock with a training injury this week.

I heard that when somebody tells you something in confidence they don't expect it to be plastered over a public message board.

"We won" "Who scored?" "Watt" "I SAID WHO SCORED?" Once you've stopped laughing uncontrollaby, take your pick...

Nice work, everyone. (How much would it cost to get Wullie P fit for first team duties?)

24 shots, 1 goal vs 9 shots, 4 goals pretty much sums up the issues both ends of the park. Take your pick.

Apparently, if they beat us we have to sign Simon Mensing again.

That is why it's a poor draw. Playing the same team away from home 2 weeks in a row in the middle of January isn't the most exciting prospect. If we have to play away from home, it's nice to get a change of scenery at a ground we don't play at too often. That's part of the attraction of a cup competition - otherwise it just feels like another league match.

It's going to be Falkirk away, isn't it?

I'm a fan of back fours, but not sure how the rest of the formation would pan out given the currently available personnel. I'm also not convinced our defenders could adapt to the new formation in 3 days, given how they struggle to adapt with marking, tackling and passing the ball to their own team mates. We do need to change something at the back, though, so maybe the 4 is they way to go. One of the side issues for me is having Miller as captain. I appreciate the idea behind it, but when you've had a drop in performance for a few games, having an angry old man for captain that yells in your face can sometimes be more beneficial than a nice boy with epic ball skills.

I don't take no-votes on my MOTM threads personally, but next game I'm going to add a null option and if you select it, it will permanently redirect your account to kerrydalestreet.co.uk.

The bounce back-ability of a lead balloon. Take your pick...
