  1. The daylight is the key. Once that gap is large enough and the team can think about looking up the table, the change in mentality can be huge. I'd love to see us cuff Accies, but at this stage, I'll take 3 points any which way.
  2. Given the strict interpretation of the new rules, we were lucky the ref didn't blow for hand ball.
  3. Lamie was never a terrible player - not a superstar, but never terrible. He was put at a disadvantage by the fact that almost every time he played, he was being put in a different starting position. It's certainly no coincidence that giving a player a few starts in their best position sees them settle in and improve. Alexander has, largely, had to play the hand he's been dealt at this point in the season so it's good to see he's starting to get the best out of the players we have. He talks about how well we deal with crosses and how he's happy to let opponents have possession in areas where it doesn't hurt us. Whether that is his general philosophy, or whether it's just how he sees the strengths of the current squad, it's working out OK for now.
  4. I'm not greedy. I'll take 4 - 0 for this one.
  5. Aye, the last thing we need to be doing is encouraging players to improve.
  6. There's never been good football played on that pitch since it was installed. I would never judge a team on that. We've played better in spells during our other games under the new gaffer, but it if we can pick up points when we are underperforming then that is a good sign.
  7. Aye, but it was hilarious to beat them that way.
  8. Win our game in hand and we'll be up to 7th - above Utd on goal difference.
  9. Perfect result and performance for this particular fixture. Karma.
  10. Good luck with any pass on that pitch. Sometimes it gets stuck, sometimes it bounces up into your hip. Chances of it rolling to the recipient is about 20%.
  11. My Golden Goal ticket for 01:00 is much better value than I first thought.
  12. You're lucky you get to enjoy it. Overseas fans like myself have had to put some Tippex on our laptop screens.
  13. Won't be called off until 30 mins before kick-off. That's how they roll.
  14. Last season, won two, lost one. So not too bad.
  15. Not sure we were due £400k for a move in the same league, but if we weren't happy with the offer, we could have gone to arbitration. It's still a decent approach though as while you never escape situations like this, the up side is a Marvin Johnson or Cedric Kipré.
  16. Putting in an untested young guy in against Killie on a terrible pitch for a crucial game against a, no doubt, Tommy Wright kick-us-off-the-park side, would be madness. There's definitely a time for that, but this game isn't the time.
  17. Just when Killie fans thought it couldn't get worse than having to watch home games on that plastic atrocity.
  18. No point in worrying about other teams. Everything is 100% in our own hands. Time to take care of business.
  19. A bit early for "must win" but confident we'll pick up the points. Unless Tommy Wright has taken over by then, in which case it will be 0 - 0 as we struggle to unpark their bus.
  20. St Mirren, probably. I still think Utd will be in the mix. Win our 2 games in hand and we'll be above them.
  21. Regarding penalty shouts, it makes a difference when there aren't crowds screaming at the ref. It also helps that Celtic are well out of contention for the title, so refs feel less pressure to avoid "robbing" them. Saying that, I have zero expectations in this game. The main thing is we keep our performance levels high and see what happens. We are terrible at keeping clean sheets at the moment, so I expect we need at least 2 goals to get anything from this game.
  22. My point was that the "quote" in the headline was pure fabrication written as click-bait to draw in the OF leaning punters. Devante never mentions "heaping more misery on Celtic". To call it misleading would be generous.
  23. What the headline says (and pretends is an actual quote). What he says in the article
  24. Certainly better than he did for us, but he still misplaced a few balls and lost his man a few more times than I like to see in a full back.
