Had the unfortunate pleasure to have Watt sitting beside me at the Hearts away game with a few of the younger players.
Billy big baws without a doubt and acted like a total cock to a few players around him. Plus a few choice comments about his colleagues on the park. Not impressive at all.
I think Ross County have to be factored into the long ball chat.
When our midfield came short for the ball they where very quickly closed down not allowing them time to turn and play and often having to pass back to the centre backs who in turn launched it. Which is why we needed a 3rd man in there yesterday.
County's work rate and pace of counter attacking play was exceptional at times. Maybe not the greatest quality but bloody hell did they not work their balls off.
Can't agree at all. He is such an ill disciplined central midfielder and I mean positionally rather than physically.
He is an absolute nightmare running away from position, leaving space and generally leaving his defence and partner exploited. Trying to hard tbh.
He's such a big character for the club and a general all round great guy but as a player he leaves is badly badly exposed in the centre of midfield by not playing his position.

Strong bench but I think Kennedy & Chalmers can consider themselves very unfortunate. Taylor ahead of Grimshaw has not impressed me however. Let's see if the empty Jersey can up his game.
May already have done, however a lot of English clubs are keen to wait till the last minute for these types of loans once they get their squads completely sorted.
Flow said on Twitter how hard it can be when negotiating with other clubs and that seems to be the hold up with the other signings awaited.

Good to see Kennedy & Thomas start today. Strong looking bench.
Twardzik, Laing, Robinson, Clarkson, Cadden, Johnson, McMillan
When you think about this year so far in two games, Hearts away and St Johnstone away (??) Barraclough has put Marvin up top and through the middle. Clearly he thinks that we are lacking that bit of pace to come of the bench or start up top.
I'm just confused as too who the main strikers/pecking order is going to be..... apart from Clarkson who I think will be number 5 in the list.
This guy is still young, has scored goals at every club he has been at and has played for some decent clubs at decent levels, lets give him a chance.
Strange but always good to see a new player at the club.
I think maybe Barraclough signed Clarkson on advices of others... if he was signed by him that is... and has now realised he may not actually be good enough.
