After his performances at the euros,ralston should never have been selected again.hes a total bombscare that's never going to improve beyond that.max Johnstone took the step to move abroad and improve as a player and it should be rewarded but yet we have selected a dumpling that will be happy sitting on the bench at his beloved celtic every week.

Exactly,the manager has to find a better way of using him.from the clips of him when he signed he looks like a penalty box striker,his goal at easter road is how we should be using him more often,he showed decent movement and produced a good finish that day when he was allowed to be effect in the box.i think our forward line will continue to struggle until kettlewell changes our style a bit.ideally we can keep picking up points like we have been and get to january and sign someone that will finally be able to link the midfield to attack and then allow miller to play as a 6 and build the play from deep,I think if we have a decent attacking midfielder that miller can pass too that would go a long way to us having more possession in games like today.

The second half we looked like a wee boys team that was playing on a big pitch for the first time,with the only tactic of blootering the ball as far away from our own goal as we could,to have just been happy to surrender possession and hope we got through the second half was a joke,we should have been right out looking for the second goal,as hampden would have emptied and it would have been game over if we did.weve all seen us lose to every kind of opposition over the years so were used to defeats but every so often a game comes along that's hard to take especially when we have fucked it for ourselves and today was one of those times.to have put a second half performance in like that in a cup semi when leading at half time was disgraceful.

The opposition have sussed the long throw already.

Aye watt should have came on,at the very least he knows how to buy a foul and that would have been enough to break the play up and get us up the park,we would be as well sending him back to utd as soon as we can and same goes for tavares,you can see why he wasn't getting a game for a rotten Hibs team.the more games we play it's becoming clear that up front is an absolute mess,we have umpteen options but yet there isn't a single sign of what were actually trying to with them.

That definitely feels like a what if moment.we played right into there hands in the second half,we were absolutely garbage.

Thats several games in a row now against that lot where the away end is clearly over populated and it will continue to happen as long as the club and the authorities let it.if it gets to the point where there's some kind of disaster due to the overcrowding you can be sure the green bigots will play the victim,the police will play dumb and it will be our club thats left with serious questions to answer,there's only going to be one loser if this continues and it will be us.

Slattery would be a better option than halliday or davor,the issue is how long it will take him to get upto speed and into the first team,I'm of the thinking that if we get anything out of slattery this season it will be a bonus.

Aye watt should be left at tannadice during the coming week and told not to come back.

Our midfield gives me the utter fear,miller aside there's nothing there,there's no pace or ability to go and press the opposition,to have davor and halliday in the team at the same time is criminal,we can talk about injuries but let's be honest the likes of callaghan and paton aren't any better.the game last week showed our midfield up for what it is rather than today and it's only going to get worse the more games we play,halliday is done and davor is someone that will be playing at the likes of accies or morton before to long.

I get there playing cause we have nobody else but davor really is nothing more than a jersey filler,he offers absolutely nothing in and out of possession.

Miller aside our midfield options are dire and that goes for the ones out injured,we have enough attacking options but no real plan on what to do with them.lets hope today was nothing more than a blip as we will become very easily to play against if we don't sort some of our issues out.

Long ball after long ball but yet we don't have one forward that's capable of winning anything in the air.

Robinson at times looks like he's never played football before,there was times in the first half all he needed to do was take a touch and lay it off but he would rather dilly dally and take an age to do anything,he's needing a boot up the arse as well as a few others after that half.

Ewan Wilson signs a new deal until 2027

Good riddance

There's no way any fan could stay impartial and not get caught up in the moment if asked to commentate on a game.it was a cup quarter final live on the tele how the fuck could the broadcaster not provide a neutral commentary team,total amateur stuff from premier sports.

Well said,it was brilliant footwork to win us the penalty,between that and the goals he's scored,he really is a very good penalty box striker.

If the plan isn't to sign an attacking midfielder then we need to be going with two up front but not using one of them to play deeper,let's get our forwards playing together and building some partnerships.i really hope plan a isn't starting with one striker then throwing on the rest when were desperate for a goal.

He was watching the game today among the rest of our players that werent in the squad,granted that doesn't mean a whole lot but apparently we have offered him a deal.

There was a spell where watt was brilliant for us,if he's up for it and motivated we might just see that again,I've been critical of kettlewell but if anyone can get a tune out of watt then it's him.

Nobody is saying it's easy to get players to sign for us but settling for the likes of callaghan and halliday should not be happening,were never going to improve with the likes of them on the books and the prospect of having callaghan here again next season is shocking whatever way you try and dress it up

Its having all 3 here at once that's weakening our midfield,throw in the likes of davor and our options in there are dire.we have surrounded our best asset in miller with guys that can't run or tackle,even this early it's plain too see our midfield is a massive problem that is going to get outfought and outrun most weeks.

The lack of cutting edge is worrying even at this early stage.we don't have an attacking midfielder and the manager seems to be safety first when it comes to the wing back area so there's going to be very little coming from out wide.whats also strange is when you look at the goals that stama scored last season,a fair few were from crosses,he isn't the biggest but he seemed to have a decent instinct to where the ball was going to land but yet we sign him and play a style where we offer next to nothing out wide.

Agreed,injuries aside they players should never have been signed in the first place due to the fact there not very good,having guys like halliday and odonnell playing every week just means we're painfully slow with no movement in two key areas of the team.
