I honestly don’t know, I thought Milne had one more game but played tonight, don’t even know how many games Shinnie got, and what is geiger’s punishment? Pretty sure Geiger misses the next competitive game but no clue what else, and I clue for the other two.

Not a bad game to play straight after the cup win. Despite them not being on form, they are only 4 behind us. Falkirk and Hibs have tough games so perhaps a chance to gain some ground. Shinnie was immense tonight, will he be able to start, and will It be him an afeez in the middle assuming Geiger is suspended. Defense did pretty well, Milne and McIntyre will continue in the middle, frame is improving. expect topi from the start with Cameron, hoping to see lobban right mid but expect milanovic again. Despite our struggles, nisbet is playing well, expect another good game from him. 3-1 us, nisbet Cameron and topi.

Refuse to start a new threat for him, but what has happened to Marko lazetic?? I actually liked him, the goal against st mirren and Im are we were thinking we may have a player. Looks like a pub league forward now, lazy and just out to hit people. Hope he has a change of fortune as I’m sure he’s on a decent wage, and getting money back to point him could be a challenge!

Both reds are luck! First one is a red but the defender isn’t challenging, he slips. That’s luck. Don’t think the second is red either, as I’ve already said, too far from goal and two defenders are level and have time to get back. Lucky to get that call. Had they kept 11 I think we’d have struggled.

Hate to say it, but Motherwell are a good side. They’ve take points off Celtic rangers and hearts this season, and we have struggled all season with them. the red cards were huge. First one unlucky but a red, and a lovely nisbet goal. No way is the second red, just too far from goal and while level, there are defenders back. Keeps the season alive for now, hopefully we can build on this result. Harder with the squad we have and no manager and the uncertainty around that.

What a win but not a good performance. Confidence is everything. Motherwell knock it around for fun and we can’t keep the ball. Even a man up they were better, and when they had 9 it was still a struggle. Both of their reds were debatable, the second in particular harsh since it’s almost on the half way line and far from goal. Geiger’s similar to the devlin red against falkirk in the sense that there’s no need for the aggression and he hits the man. Very poor decision making. concerning that afeez didn’t play and Geiger gets red. Against Motherwell at the weekend Geiger was able to knock it around and dictate play/tempo. Without him we were not good in midfield, and not saying he’s good. Palaversa was poor as some have stated. funny that we sold the players that we maybe needed tonight ie Clarkson or polvara. not surprised we went with no width in the second half, our wide guys and wide play is really poor and we need upgrades there in the summer. Topi is a sub. time to gel and maybe get some confidence before the dunfermline game.

We can still hibs it. Not relaxed here…!

That’s our captain!!!!! nice finish!

Just gets more interesting!!! 10v9!

Even more interesting!!!! 1-0!!!

Ha. That makes it interesting!

If Milne is free from suspension I’d like devlin Milne and lobban in for Jensen Morrison and olusanya. For the time off, disrupted training, lack of games, new signings, and manager uncertainty, I didn’t think the weekend was too bad. I expect tonight to be better and we take a chance or two. We’ll be fitter sharper and maybe a bit more doc influence. 2-1 us. lobban and devlin makes perfect sense, I think both are more attack minded, plus more aggressive than Jensen. We have no right mid plus the left is their strong side, I think it’s worth a try. nisbet is by far our best forward right now, him and Cameron with the goals.

Pretty quiet on here today for a game day, spent a fair bit of time readying my own posts and responding! could have been better but certainly could have been worse. Anyone at the game got anything to add? Few things from me after thinking more - I didn’t think McIntyre was too bad. Thought he was aggressive in the air, and I didn’t think he was overly slow. Quicker than consi! And certainly better than molloy. Think he’ll do ok for us. Morrison doesn’t look anything special, two games now and I see him dropping out as soon as Milne is available. Crazy to think there was Scotland squad talk and him trying to get to the World Cup, first look and it’s still early, but my impressions are he shouldn’t be playing for us. Liked the look of Geiger, willing to be the man in midfield and dictate tempo. just not fit/ match sharp. Afeez should compliment him, willing to do more of the heavy lifting but we didn’t see a lot today. Keen to see how fitness improves him. yet again width is a major concern. Not a lot from topi and nothing on the right. And little/no bench options. Said it already and will keep doing so until the coaching staff hear! Lobban right mid for the short term may be worth trying, devlin behind.

I despise rangers with a passion. But for some reason Celtic not so much. Maybe dislike hearts more than Celtic. Interesting 3 team race, tighter after today. Really want a hearts crumble like 1986.

And Milne? Cup game, I know he has one more game but is that league?
