There are those to be ridiculed and debate to be had for those with validity in their posts so reply as such. For the umpteenth time, pointing out why they are wrong isn’t an option in many cases on here to protect where information can be got. It’s not in-the-know, don’t think there is anymore information than others, just better.

And another… Wind your neck in. Never have done the mock team selections & certainly not for fear of ridicule. High percentage posted are nowhere near what those paid to do so select & it only serves to fuel ire at Alexander by not getting with their programme. As for offering differing opinion, I reply in kind. Some of the theory on here is open to ridicule rather than debate given the outlandish nature - smacks of not reading the room at any rate.

Jeez. Dress that up how you like. O’Hara out the team skews that finding as he was injured and couldn’t possibly influence. I suspect the midfield are doing what they are asked to by the manager hence, they are selected on that. The rights and wrongs are open to debate.

Read it further up the page & still in disbelief. O’Hara’s inclusion been done to death over last few posts. Tierney on the right side of midfield? Roberts who’s not kicked a ball in weeks (never mind all season) Alexander picks that & I’ll about turn at the turnstile he’d deserve to fall on his sword. i don’t do team selections. Don’t expect formation change, defence is problematic & I wouldn’t be going with 3 forwards, choosing to pack out the midfield supporting as required.

Arrogance? Behave yourself. i do accept others have different opinions, just find some of the theory on here hard to comprehend - not of expertise myself, but, there are those so far removed from reality it verges on the ridiculous.. Said my piece on O’Hara, we’re nearly 3 years at the club and plenty unsure what he offers never mind credentials to slot in an unnatural position for what will be a demanding fixture. Taking Cornelius out on a man of the match performance against Rangers to shoe horn others in would be folly.

I’ll ask again, what does O’Hara offer? 10 minute spell against Livingston when we were on the front foot, disappeared when they went 2 up then turns up at the end celebrating! Reverted to type on Saturday also. Ineffective.

Deary me. There’s a few on here get pilloried for the nature of their posts yet this is sanctimony that knows no bounds. Your preferred midfield 3, experience, maturity & dog eat dog determination? 2 of those mentioned got us in this mess by shoehorning them in on a regular basis. How do you possibly set them up? No balance whatsoever as for being in the trenches Donnelly and O’Hara would be the last on the list and the adjectives used certainly don’t describe them. I’d be stunned if Alexander were to drop Cornelius, calls to change are crass at best. Wether it’s right or wrong - general rank and file support don’t know nor understand what’s being asked of the midfield. As I alluded to earlier in the season the fully functioning midfield has to be supported by a defence who’s not soft centred and a forward line suplimenting the other parts of the team - that’s where the points haul from then came from.

A striker being on fire suggests scoring goals which had deserted him. I did mention we slept walked into the situation where we haven’t recreated his other attributes. We weren’t a one man team either, there were others who gave him the platform and were sidelined after he left to shoehorn others in.

Revisionism in the extreme. His purple patch had long passed him by. We have though sleep walked into this period with little or no plan to recreate his other attributes.

Turn it up. Obsessed

Yet, extended deals for McGinley & Mugabi. Definitely not screaming ambition.

Definitely best defender on form currently, it’s not a high bar. I don’t fancy him & McGinley being our left side as a long term option. I’m hearing you on the other two, suspect it’s how we’ve managed to attract Ojala’s pedigree

I wouldn’t be so sure.

But, you want improvement? He only made it out the Livingston strikers back pocket just in time on Saturday. Bullied

Those statements are just not truthful. Anybody thinking different needs to give their head a wobble.

Just seen something on a chat group this morning that is restrictive in seat choice & doesn’t offer under 16 tickets for their kid yet, freely available in the home end.

Are ticket purchases proving difficult?

Really. One of a few stats offered at the recent AGM when questioned about ‘leaving somebody up the park’. Football has evolved too.

Which every team in the league does except the one we beat on Saturday. There was stats offered recently for conceding 0 from around 170 corner kicks against us.

Noted. What’s smart about saying we’ll be well served if it came to pass? We just ripping up remaining two years of a contract now?

There’s a dedicated thread to house unfounded rumours. Unlikely. We’d be well served if this came to pass.

Onto the game, showed conviction to make required changes and it’s paid off - I don’t see it as easy as making these changes some weeks ago, but, it would likely have helped. Far from the finished article, but, I’ll back commitment like that everytime

Regulars weren’t playing. Take from that what you will.

Well, I’d discount the headline as the first team squad have the weekend off except those representing their international sides.

One thing I don’t think can be levelled at the fans is not getting behind the team except from some derision against Ross County recently.
