Consistent anything over the course of a season would have seen a far better league position for us, but that is the story of 6 or 7 Premiership teams every season. The differences between 10th a 6th are often very fine margins. Whether that's converting 5% more chances, conceding 5% less goals or stringing a run of 6 or 7 games together. The stat about the 13 times we didn't score is exactly why Kettlewell was not punted. Because the players were still obviously playing for him and each other, and we weren't showing the classic relegation form of folding after conceding early and going on to lose by a hat full every week.

Exactly this.

You didn't notice when he quickly sussed out Kevin van Veen was more effective in a front 2?

Mixing champagne and claret sounds like the worst drink ever.

If we had to recoup the same level of investment we get from the sponsors, a sponsor-free shirt would probably cost about 300 quid.

Champagne shirts. Lacking in fizz and no finish. Take your pick...

Moses Ebiye wins us the game with his Craig Reid tribute act in the 94th minute.

As a kit it's nice. I'm still, however, not a fan of the 3rd kit idea in general.

Dean Cornelius on the the telly here, playing in the Harrogate v Doncaster game.

George was part of the revolution at Ipswich when Bobby Robson brought in his Dutch players. Great team to watch and very successful for a "provincial" side. Hope he kicks its arse.

Welcome to League One, Al.

Looking at the decor in the apartment I'm guessing we're keeping him in a safe house at a undisclosed location.

For whatever reason, managers rarely drop a keeper, regardless of poor form. It's something that has been happening across the leagues all my football watching life.

Aberdeen have been doing well, but struggled to break down Ross County last weekend and were saved from going a goal down thanks to a very marginal VAR decision. If Maswanhise has a go at their defence, we have a chance. Our record at Pittodrie hasn't been too bad in recent years.

I think Clarke did a good job of taking the most shambolic international setup I have seen in my lifetime and turning back into a team that could at least qualify for finals again. Even if the process wasn't pretty at times. However, both finals severely exposed his limitations as a manager. I was willing to cut him some slack after the first one, but the most recent performance at the Euros proved not only had he not learned anything, but had actually regressed. The game against Hungary summed it up perfectly - a must-win game with zero shots on target. I don't see any improvement while he his still in charge. Congrats to Wilson, though - well deserved based on his recent performances.

I hate this post and anybody who agrees with it.

He also signed a 1 year extension at the end of May, so I assume he is very much still part of Utd's plans, even if it's currently from off the bench.

I think Goodwin wants to play one up top, and Moult plays much better with a sidekick.

He had to make a quick exit at the end of the commentary, as he said he didn't think he was safe.

SK has spoken at length (as always) about defence being our biggest weakness last season. Although you hardly need a UEFA Coaching badge to have spotted that. Difficult to tell how much the injured defenders will add, but Liam Gordon has made a difference, and we definitely looked more organised. The biggest difference is that, so far, we have cut out most of the stupid mistakes. Promising signs, but very early days. We won 3 and drew 1 in our first four league games last season before we went into meltdown, so no chickens being counted yet.

I'm still unconvinced about some of Casey's defending, but he was definitely a top performer yesterday and put the fear into St Johnstone's defence every time he came up the park for a free kick or corner.

MOTM respects the confidentiality that makes it such a safe space. I can confirm, however, Tony did not vote for himself.

The shot that came in at Oxborough was hit hard and at pretty close range. Could he have done better? As every headline writer in every newspaper has said multiple times this week, definitely maybe.

We were definitely the better team, and should have put it out of reach in the second half before St Johnstone equalised. A fair result, even if a late goal sometimes makes it feel like we nicked it.
