Ya Bezzer!

We've conceded against Airdrie, Queen of the South, Hibs, St Johnstone and Dundee. Our only clean sheets were against Queens Park and Annan. Pretty clear where the major problem is.

Curtis Main just missed his penalty in the Livvy v Saints shoot out.

You wanna go halfers on the 500 bottle rockets it will take to launch him out of here?

There maybe he been a clue that Watt isn't a goal scorer by looking at his 'goals scored' column over the entirety of his career.

Good news - it's not the Titanic. Bad news - it is the Lusitania.

Grimmie has played well considering he's Grimmie.

We also have the best per head football attendances in Europe.

BBC has us at a 4-4-2 but I think we'll stick with the 4-3-3 but there's a few question marks over that selection. Would be looking for Donnelly and Shields to take a step forward towards full fitness and put in better showings.

2 goals for Turnbull tonight. 1st one a nice finish, 2nd one an absolute rocket.

If we are going to go crazy with our Scottish government loan the following players are available on frees. Jerome Boateng Diego Costa Radja Nainggolan David Luiz Franck Ribery Hatem Ben Arfa Shkodran Mustafi Maicon Daniel Sturridge Get wee Nicola to start signing these off and it's a start on filling up our empty squad numbers.

The 'blend' of the midfield isn't right so I'd hold off on criticising individual players at this point. We definitely need a few in that are 'different types'. Ultimately you are probably only going to play 1 of Crawford, Donnelly, Maguire in our current formation.

Too sensible for this place.

Midfield isn't good enough. Nothing to do with bedding in. Also need defensive strengthening.

Decent away point against a team you'd 'expect' to finish above us. We definitely need to continue to look for better quality players though.

Almost as if a team that's won more cups in the last year than we have in the last 70 years and who can go toe to toe with Euro heavy weights are a bit better than us.

Only heard good things about Shields so I've been looking forward to seeing him.

St Johnstone got a roasting for the first 10 - 15 minutes but after that they settled down and I thought their performance was terrific. They are probably the best organised and best coached team in the league all things considered. They don't usually score a lot though, especially at home, so if we can get a goal you'd have to think we'll have a decent chance of getting something. Overall though they look more settled, more disciplined, more consistent, better drilled - you'd probably be happy enough with a point.

Wasn't there a lot of criticism on here towards KIlmarnock for taking a loan? Turns out we took twice as much from the government.

I'd blame O'Donnell for looking so guilty when it hit his arm! He needs to get a poker face

How many penalties do we give away? We must be about 15 in the last year. Needs to stop because it really makes a difference over a season when you are giving so many away. Better performance but losing the lead twice, and conceding three times at home is not so good. Still at least there is something to be encouraged about but we have two away fixtures coming up so it remains to be seen when our first win will come. Don't want to leave it too long or the energy will drop off.

We had 3 wins 1 draw and 1 loss in the bottom 6 last season. That's 10 of your 28 points from the post split fixtures. Overall 9 points were taken against relegated teams (you could argue both relegated teams have been replaced by stronger sides). We also only had 1 win against a team that finished in the Top 6. Our points average under Alexander was 1.4 (rounded up) pre split and 2.0 post split. So a lot of that improvement was due to playing in the bottom 6 post split. I'll also remind you that losing Campbell, Gallagher and Cole has significantly weakened our team.

Started at Celtic.

I think it's very difficult to make predictions when the squads still aren't stabilised. Also the spectre of Covid is still out there and could cause any team big problems. Based on 'now' I'd say. 1. Rangers - won't match last seasons points tally but should still win the league 2. Celtic - will still finish 2nd despite being in complete disarray at the moment. 3. Aberdeen - based purely on their impressive performance against Hacken 4. Hibs - up and down but better than most of the rest, will be crossing their fingers they don't lose some of their better players. 5. Hearts - maybe a bit of a surprise but having a nailed on goalscorer like Boyce is a big advantage in this league 6. St Mirren - look stronger on paper than last season so maybe they can go one better. 7. St Johnstone - think they will lose key players before the transfer window and everyone knows 'wee' teams have a shitter after winning the Cup so could finish lower. 8. Dundee Utd - Have a young-ish squad but again I think having a goalscorer in Shankland (who will be better now Mellon is gone) will keep them out of serious trouble. 9. Motherwell - Right now I think our best chance is 'grinding' out occasional results like we did under Alexander last term. But our squad is weaker and we will need good quality reinforcements to even maintain last terms finish. 10. Dundee - Dispatched Kilmarnock with ease so I think they should do enough to stay up. Pretty much the same squad as last season though so another team that needs a few bodies in. 11. Ross County - Not the best squad and you have to question if their manager is going to be able to work at this level without the kind of resources he'll have been used to. 12. Livingston - Worst team in the league in the last third of the campaign and not been great in the league cup this term. Also had a lot of disruption to their pre season with covid and injuries.

Was looking through all the Scottish League squads recently and there are ex Motherwell players at every other Premiership team except one....St Johnstone. Maybe that's why they've been so successful recently!

Been playing central midfield recently.
