I’d say Justin has shown more than Goss and more suited to a right midfield role. perhaps as below with +1 being any one of Sondre, Lamie or Mugabi kelly O’Donnell Ojala +1 Carroll Justin Slattery O’Hara Roberts KVV Watt Alternatively stick Grimmy at right back and push O’Donnel up to mid right

Not a terrible display but far from a good one. We just didn’t look fired up for it. At least Justin looked up for it when he came on. Despite loosing our last 2 games we are still only 6 points behind the leaders which is pretty decent for us considering the last couple of seasons. Need to start scoring again and pick up some points for the last 2 games of the round.

Too many invisible players today.

Done

Still in it. Just need better second half performance all round.

Might be worth sticking KVV on against their center half and take off Woolery or Roberts. Need a bit more out of Goss.

Haven’t seen much from Goss

I’m always hoping they do well and certainly happier when they win. So am I a Scotland supporter? Yes, yes I am. Possibly tougher than being a motherwell supporter. While I felt good that we beat Israel I did have some other feelings in that i began to think of the reaction, comments and reports. Such jubilation at beating Israel 3-2 at Hampden. Changed days indeed and a reflection partly on how many smaller countries have improved but perhaps more so on how far we have regressed or failed to improve along with the major teams. Yet, we still managed a decent result against euro finalists at Wembley so how far away are we from being a decent national side? Quite the conundrum. Die hard ‘Well fan and still patriotically supporting Scotland.

I’m hoping for a “Where did that result come from” kind of day with a legendary KVV performance but willing to accept a crappy 1-0 fluke goal, stolen 3 points. Hmmm actually that might even be better.

…… and we are done!!

Did I hear them say Dykes and Christie to miss Moldova game? Who will they draft in?

Well now we know

So will O’Donnell start today?

With the other fixtures going on I’d love to see us pick up 3 points. Hoping for a good solid performance to set us up for the remaining 3 matches in Oct after this one. COYW

Even more so when someone else is paying for it

Well it depends on when “before the game” is. 5 days before I think optimism will be low. The night before the needle will be off the scale, almost Trump like. “The only way we can get beat is if it’s rigged”

I have no problem with some polite applause prior to kick off. Then it’s us against them as normal. Certainly wouldn’t be booing him just because he’s an ex player in a Celtic jersey. However, if he does something “boo worthy”. Then by all means boo him, same as you would any other player. I wish him all the best and a great career (perhaps returning to us like uncle Phil) but hope he stinks against us. COYW

You just couldn’t last a whole week off, could you!

Depends what week. Milner should also have had a stick on second yellow and didn’t get it.

Exactly. 100% PK.

Don’t have a problem with the PK decisions. I always look at it from our point of view, would I have been looking for a pk if that was our player and in both cases, for me it’s a yes.

Correction. 2 saves.

While I think most are in agreement that we need to improve, especially in midfield, based on our results and attitude we look capable of taking points off any of the other 11 teams. The question is how much can we limit our poor performances and daft mistakes to attain some level of consistency?

The OF are always favorites to come out on top in the long run but perhaps more this season than any other season almost every game could go either way.

Kelly made 1 real save from open play.
