Here's a novel idea .... how about, instead o' workin on how we deal wi' the opposition's corners, we work on makin' our own corners count?

Exactly...we used to pull Morris back into the box at corners presumably because his height and awareness was vital.

Aye, line them up an' let's get punchin' eh? ... but one stands out ... Leon Brittan - nae the worst, but ... that face!! ... Ah met a guy once at a social event fa looked like LB .... he didna say or dae anythin' wrang ... but Ah jist couldna stand the guy

One player removes two of theirs plus it gives us an out ball. Even if we clear it with everyone back, the ball is still coming back in again

Vivid memory o' a wee lassie gettin an ice cream cone fae the icer ... a 'cappie' if ye prefer .... excitedly she ran fae the icer, but tripped, and the ice cream fae her 'cappie' flew aff an' landed in the gutter. Ah laughed ... she roared an' grat! Ah now recall that occasion often when describin' a person's disappointment ... or soor face thus ... "A face like he/she jist drapped his/her cappie ten steps fae the icer."

Good call, but Ah would keep Hirst in the mix .. Ah mean, FFS, we've given Dykes an' fkn Adams plenty time. Ah'd be happy tae tak three good hidins at the World cup if we at least found a decent striker for the future .... cos right now, we have nothin' !

Aye ... disposin' o' a few players might be a workable solution

Was it not The Balaclava Hass owned?

Wow! posted at the same time as ma previous post ... and it's as iff ye read ma mind!

Can't understand why Loban didn't start as we needed pace out wide and Jensen invariably when he gets the ball out wide looks back to see who he can pass to. Another thing we've learned today is that Jack Milne can't take throw-ins...doesn't help when Lazatic stands behind his man...I mean, for fuck sake, anyone one of us who'd played fitba at any level know that we've got to be in front of the defender.

Not gonna give you a laugh by attempting to pick out positives, but for me, the 'least negatives' were Gyamfi, who in the second half actually looked like offering a threat, ... and Lobban who, in the short spell he was on the pitch, did more in an effective attacking sense than Jensen (and nearly every other) managed the whole game. Olusanya showed at times he could be a real asset .... and at other times a real ass-hat .... but he certainly ran his ass-hat off. I stand by my earlier comment re. no lack of effort .... but - especially in the first half - that effort was chasing shadows .... wasted effort! ..... Anyone who knows my post history on Abmad will know I generally refrain from being over critical ... but holy fuck! .... and here's an issue which is long standing, about which there seems to be no prospect of resolving .... Throw ins!! How on earth do we manage to gain no advantage from the vast majority of our throw ins? Ah mean ... ffs .... if you close your eyes and fling it, there's roughly a 50-50 chance of findin' a team-mate .... if you open your eyes, you might actually find one with the space to control the ball, make a pass and retain possession .... even if it's a pass back tae the keeper. Ah shaks ma heid!

Was a really good game. Southampton were excellent. Ross Stewart talking about manager amending tactics to suit players at his disposal. There’s a novel approach

I'm leaving Glasgow early to get back up in time for this. No idea why I am bothering, but feel I must. How does Robinson pick a winning team out of this lot. Confidence must be even lower after today and that's the last thing we needed.

Southampton won 2-1.

Certainly better chance of him scoring than any of our strikers.

It’ll be the 56th anniversary of his goal in the 1970 cup final.

I hope Joey Harper gets a game, never mind a great reception.

Play a 5-3-2, Nisbet and whoever wins the training ground raffle up front, Cameron and whoever's turn it is in midfield, Shinnie in front of defence, Lobban and Frame (if fit) to try give us some width. Honestly, I'd probably take a draw. A goal would be a wonderful bonus. Two goals and I'd need a lie down. Hope Joey Harper gets a great reception. Maybe give him the last 20 minutes too.

Arsenal get it back to 1-1. Been a good game so far. Young lad Dowman does not look 16. Going to be some player if he keeps developing.

And mine and I'm Seventy-fucking-five.

When I saw the line-up it reminded me very much of the complaints we were making of Jimmy Thelin; trying to play a two-man midfield and having three at the back for no reason, then not having enough up front to create anything. At least Leven tried something a bit different at times. Bizarre from Robinson to go back to something that failed for Thelin. I'm not against three at the back if someone there is able to step into midfield and make it a three and allow the other two to step forward a bit when in possession. Neilson is (or was) that man, Milne (at least at this stage in his career) is not. We're also better with a front two because we don't have forwards capable of playing as lone strikers, and our wingers make shite wingers. So yeah, let's start with Gyamfi & Jensen who offer little width from wing back, a two man midfield, and Lazetic up front. And change the goalkeeper for no reason (unless Mitov has a knock I'm unaware of). Never mind our strongest team, it's close to the weakest in terms of personnel and tactics Robinson could have picked! Six games to save ourselves? I'm beginning to think it's more realistic that we have six games to work out a formation and line-up to win the play-off.

1-0 Southampton with Ross Stewart scoring.

Had forgotten about Ross Stewart who is playing for Southampton tonight. Maybe a better shout than Dykes and Hirst.
