Gooooalllll

Andrews has started a couple when he first joined then fell out the scene a bit. Great opportunity to put some breathing room between the bottom 2 which would be nice. Been awfy generous to many of the struggling sides this season.

The football on display has been brutal to watch over the past few seasons. We have had far too many performances where we haven't laid as much as a glove on the opposition. Today seemed as a predictable result and performance as they come, it's a real shame that almost 2000 fans travelling couldn't motivate the side in any way. I wouldn't shed a tear of he got his jotters but that won't happen He will fluke a win next week.

Pathetic performance yet again, I can take getting beat but it's scary how often we come away from games having not even put a glove on the opposition, and even scarier that some of these games have been against some right gash teams. I actually feel for the fans that travelled. If a big travelling away support can't at least get you hyped up for a game what will.

Scott Burns reporting that we want to sign Luke Armstrong on loan from Carlisle United.

McGinn is out for four months, I wonder if we will look to add defensively now.

O'Donnell has certainly made an impression in his last few appearances. Six goals conceded to Hibs in two games and each and every one was actually laughable.

Welcome back Slattery, we've missed you.

I feel for the fans who have been forking out regularly for away games as of late. Some of the performances have been depressing.

Hopefully plenty positive things to shout and cheer about today. Too baltic to sit and suffer a performance like the Hearts one. A three points would be most welcome.

They have plenty defensive worries at the moment and it sounds like they will be having to field a duo of Propper who has failed to set the heather on fire and a right back (Sterling) as a centre back partnership complimented by Tavernier who can't defend and Jefte, with that being said you just know we won't get a sniff. Gordon and Stama have been dealing with knocks with the latter possibly missing out entirely. Any points would be most welcome but like MJC mentioned above, seldom do they lose twice on the bounce domestically then to add to that they have Celtic which they will likely lose.

Lovely stuff esph after the last trio of performances. Clean sheet as well.

Poor stuff. Pumped by a team with Jon McCracken and Scott Tiffoney in it.

Head knock rule seems to have been relaxed the past month. Anyway two howling goals to concede.

4-2

Nick Walsh is the referee for this. For every free kick he gives us in the final third of the pitch I'll donate £20 to charity. We sat off them at Hampden earlier in the season and conceded early. When we put more attacking emphasis on them in the second half we caused plenty of problems but a great save denied us a point late on. I know it was a closed door friendly but we pumped a strong Gers side on the international break over a month ago. Aberdeen showed us last night what to do, the side contain the likes of Barron, Souttar, McAusland et al some absolute guff compared to the quality we have beat convincingly in the past.

Ft - great result.

Dundee United have been enjoying some great form this season, they had the wee blip in September where they lost twice on the bounce to Rainjurs and ourselves. They also managed to score quite a few late goals which saw them rescue a point at Killie and pick up a win against Hibernian before losing to Aberdeen on Saturday with a late goal themselves. Wednesday will be a tough task but I fancy us to take something from the game. It'll be interesting to see how we line up, I'd assume Casey will come in for Gordon and maybe even a debut for Koutrombus if Kaletas is injured. It's not like Kettlewell to make wholesale changes but I can see him bringing Robinson back into the side and maybe even Seddon just to keep it fresh for Sunday.

I thought we came out the traps flying, pressing them and it was nice to see them start nervy with a few mistakes. Shame Stama couldn't get the ball out of under his feet to score from Scales error but Miller was unfortunate his effort cracked the post. His free kick was tremendous but a shame it wasn't a foot lower, early days in the game but you start to think it's not your day. We seemed to restrict them to very little in the first half but they got the vital goal. I love watching Scottish football but it's really depressing to think no one can really lay a glove on a team with Liam Scales and Auston Trusty as a centre back partnership, a guy who was part of one of the worst defenses in EPL history.

Seen the bug eyed prick kicking about as well. Least we avoid the frustration of seeing him bossing about our pitch after his Scotland performances. I'd take winning 0-0 the now.

The club is currently weighing up what to do with the POD stand due to the H and S issues that have recently arisen. 2 Mill to repair or 4 mill to build a new stand and it'll most likely be under his watch. Fair point but there was quite a lot of footage of the Celtic fans trying to barge open the fire escapes back when we played the first fixture at Fir Park last season, usually they have a steward manning the door but it was the police that was stopping them from opening it from the outside. The next time they visited they made them all go through a big zig-zag queuing system before you get past the big gates but I'm not sure if any incidents occurred. I'd love it if we pumped them.
