Apparently our passing accuracy is 64%. Dreadful! I’m happy we are winning but not with much else.

We do need to get another goal or two. All it takes is a dodgy VAR call and we are in trouble. As mentioned need to retain the ball better and play more attacking football. we look comfortable dealing with Killie attacks but how many times have we looked comfortable defending and then concede goals!!

Looks like I’m talking to myself today. Anyone still awake??

Dreadful half of football.

Paton not quite match sharp yet

Good punch Ox.

We need to step it up a bit and get another goal or two. We can’t afford to sit on one goal lead. Plus zero entertainment at the moment.

Hoping the “good” Motherwell turn up tonight. This could be a huge 3 points for us if we can win it.

I’ll be watching game on paramount+ today instead of stream.

Probably a good move starting Watt with his experience and bring on Maswanhise When Watt starts to tire. Shame about Nicholson. I like him as an option.

Hopefully we can get an early goal again but this time, capitalize on it and get to enjoy the game instead of fraying the nerves

Agree intentional of the rule was to stop players camping out in attacking half.

The ref was looking right at it during the game and was pretty close and saw nothing. Not sure how he changed his mind after VAR, Gordon clearly is moving to play the ball and Utd player runs across his foot/leg. it’s the Utd player who hits Gordon’s leg VAR is a good tool to have but it is not being used properly. Let the officials ref the game and help them with OBVIOUS ERRORS, not microscopic offside calls, or decisions that take 2 minutes to figure out.

That’s a part of the issue though, isn’t it? If Celtic had said, wow! We got away with one there, that should have been a PK. Teams/ managers/officials need to start telling the truth about dubious/wrong calls.

If we get 12 points I’ll be happy.

We are going to need to need our full squad of fit players over the next few weeks. Hell of a schedule we have in front of us. Let’s hope we can pick up some points and come thru it with no long term injuries. Need to win the lottery if you want attend all the games !!! dec 20 Killie h Dec 26 Celtic a dec 29 rangers h Jan 2 hearts a jan 5 Aberdeen h jan 8 Killie a jan 11 hibs a

When is McGinn back? McGinn Gordon Casey is the best starting option I think.

Remember, game is Friday night !

Well maybe for 6 minutes. After that they were down to 10 men

I think our defence has regressed in as much we are missing McGinn. The back 3 of McGinn, Gordon, Casey started the season solid as a rock. The sooner we can get back to that the better. Our midfield is starting to look like it will be much better with players coming back from injury. I think we also have some decent forwards. SK has taken a lot of stick for his recruitment but with players returning from injuries, it’s now starting to look like we have a decent squad of players capable of keeping us in top 6

I was wondering about that for picking Watt or Maswanhise. Watts mentality and experience might fare better in this one to start with then bring Maswanhise on for the last 30 mins or so

He just didn’t seem to get off the ground yesterday. Didn’t necessarily need to punch it but just rip it out off harms way. However he did have several other good saves. I’m sure the coaching staff will be working with him on that part of his game.

I’ll go with Orinoco’s post

I think that’s the only question for SK Maswanhise or Watt to start.

36% possession and we get 4 goals. Ox had a few good saves today especially the one he tipped onto the crossbar but he certainly needs to work on his one handed punching.
