Maybe not, perhaps JBA letting him “reset” and as we’ve seen not every game plan includes center forward.

Should be quite a game next week

This ref is pish!! No clue when to play advantage amd when to stop play.

Comedy amd a goal. Awesome

More goals for us and Killie and Livi to sneak a point or 3 would be a great day.

We definitely need another goal. Their only tactic is high balls into their big players amd hope for scraps. They got them in the semi and are liable to get one here too if they do it often enough ao we need to score again…… and hopefully again and again.

I hope Gogic gets injured early

Happy birthday Grizzly, hope MFC gives you three points for your birthday. It’s mine tomorrow, the big seven Oh. As in oh! ma back, oh! where’s ma glasses, oh! Why did I come into this room 😂

If it was the good JT all the time he would be worth 5m but at the moment you’re never sure which JT is going to turn up.

Exactly. They don’t necessarily want our players to improve their team, just to weaken the competition. The club needs to hold firm and not sell our best assets to teams in the same league. well also being doing our players a favor by selling to teams where they can make just as much money amd flourish better than they would at either of the arses. Don’t think we should ever be selling players in January window, that we deem as important first team players edit: I hope all the media rumor mungering doesn’t play with their minds. Players (any that we really want to keep) and their agents should be told that no one is leaving in January. We will review their situations at the end of the season.

I don’t think we should be selling any of our players (that we would prefer to keep) To any other SPFL teams at any time if we can possibly avoid it. Having said that, if rumor of Welsh deal is true, then perhaps that maybe to our advantage, although I’d rather that was a deal to be enacted at end of season.

If he moves now we get money but not at end of season, right?

I was forgetting that it’s not really a long travel time. I think I had travel time to here in my head. So should be fine and raring to go for st Mirren game

He should be back. Just not sure how the travel will have affected him.

I’d also like to see us get Slattery extended.

They way him and O’Donnell have played , they both deserve to come back next season.

Happy new year everyone! Hoping we start off with a convincing victory against StMirren amd go on another run of clean sheets and victories.

The VAR review shite is pointless and achieves nothing

I also think our players had a bit of stage fright in the semi.

I didn’t get to sit down and see the first half but caught short segments on my phone and listened to some of the audio from Motherwell TV. I got home in time for the second half and was amazed to learn that Maeda was being subbed for the second half. I had no clue he was actually playing the first half. I can’t actually say that McGinn amd O’Donnell played blinders in defence, it just seems to be that the way that we play as a team has us defending well agInst opposition without the need for last ditch tackles and heroic blocks. To clarify, i do think both players Mentioned had great games amd I’m sure Welsh will be impressed at the way they strolled thru it, just like he strolls thru games.

This season has been a revelation. I’ve never seen as many non well fans compliment our style of play and looking thru Facebook the number of Celtic supporters actually admitting that we played them off the park is unheard of.

Same, during the game I was so nervous. I knew we were set up to see out the game at 2-0 and basically letting Celtic have the ball but on watching the game back and knowing the score we looked absolutely comfortable. The only real scare was the great save from Ward

Regardless of team selection I think the key is for us to score first. if they score first, it could be a repeat of the semi game. The Ibrox game Last week was similar to the semi except Rangers didnt get the break of the ball/punish us like St Mirren did in the semi. Having said that, I think JBA learned from the semi and has us more aware/alert to stop teams scoring against us on counter attacks. I’d Love to see us win this three or four nil but I’ll take 3 points any way we can get them in this game.

This is the kind of game we need to win to keep up our push in the top 4.

…….and Another clean sheet to add to our list for Ward and the team
