It’s a funny old game. We are 8 points off second. Only two teams have won more league games than us. And we’ve been shite for significant time this season. 14 behind hearts with a game in hand, although that’s against the Huns. For how we started, 1 point out of 18, certainly couldn’t have wished for much better. huge January for everyone. Every one of the top teams have had a wobble, can we kick on and find form? We are still a poor squad, not a great window for signings but I certainly hope. Will hearts eventually fall off, and can either of the ugly sisters find form? It’s actually an enjoyable season for the neutrals, obviously a frustrating one for us. would kill for a good performance Sunday, and obviously a win. Home crowd will turn pretty quickly, we must start well and not give them the first goal. it says a lot about this European format that I pretty much much don’t care about tomorrow. Sadly.

Can’t remember where I read it but he said today that we have a lot of good players not playing much at the moment and they’ll be given a chance. I expect a much changed team.

I think you are fine as long as you start with “ Allegedly, ….”

We seem to have a real determination about us. Very proud of this current run. Certainly not pretty but we’re winning games. I also think we’ve got a decent number of players with strong mentalities, specifically shinnie knoester devlin adil Armstrong and lazetic. Add the impressive play and toughness of Milne and lobban to that. While not everyone’s cup of team, I’ll add the swagger of karlsson to that list too. Europe has really not been a great thing, almost getting in the way. January and a notmal schedule will be good. Add 2-3 strong signings (hopefully!) then the second half is really intriguing. Celtic are in crisis, rangers not that much better, and who know what happens with hearts. If everyone beats everyone who knows what the second half of the season brings.

Mitov Dorrington Milne knoester Jensen Clarkson palaversa gyamfi topi nisbet milanovic would love to see Milne/knoester rested but who else do we have??

Just watched the highlights, topi wasn’t bad but I think he’s the new Morris, doesn’t last a game and more of a squad player than a certain starter. Really want to see more of bilalovic, he has to get milanovic’s game time and either the latter goes on loan or sold. New winger needs to be bought for sure, especially with karlsson a loaner. Really need a left back/wing back. Jensen, like topi, should be a squad player and not a starter. Gyamfi doesn’t give me huge hope, hasn’t looked overly speedy or athletic, plus like tobers, injury concerns. Shinnie was outstanding, but he can’t do that for 90 mins an has been exposed in recent weeks. still need that legit CM although nice to see adil and aouchiche putting a stamp on their starting places. Just realized Watson wasn’t playing today, not trying to hurt his future club? Is he the missing link in CM or more of an Armstrong/adil replacement IF he were to come north. that’s the three for me this window, left back, winger, and CM. Perhaps a 4th in a forward, a dabbagh type loan too.

I haven’t really seen that but absolutely what we need. He’s certainly improving week to week. Much like lazetic up top, we’re far too nice at times and a balance is needed. Having guys like that is essential to successful teams. I’d really like to see adil, Armstrong, an a legit new signing in center mid. Think the first two being quality but we badly need that missing link.

Can we take a minute to acknowledge the positive impact Russel Martin and Wilfred Nancy have made on Scottish football? Much more interesting this season. Hoping we kick on and the drama continues in Glasgow. Delighted Martin O’Neil decide it wasn’t his job.

I’m not there yet, but adil is certainly adapting to Scottish football. What if he plays alongside a legit cm, prob makes him better too. Did like his run down the left at the end, pretty much killed the game, we get the foul, then time kinda runs out. the polvara today shows me why I think he should move on. He was fresh and we needed him but did very little. He got a decent amount of the ball but does very little with it. Needed much more from him today, particularly first half.

Excellent second half, as has been said, look forward to the day we play for 90 mins. lazetic offers so much more than nisbet. It’s not working for Kev, but at the same time, he was much better when playing with lazetic. Maybe we sign a legit CM or two that allows us to see two forwards more regularly. Shinnie cannot play for 90 mins like that but perhaps he’s our super sub for the next year or two. Def man of the match. penalty was harsh, theirs cleanly not a pen, and I suppose you can say lazetic header was on target and hit a raised arm. very cool penalty from karlsson. Don’t think any of us have really taken to him but there’s talent there, nicely finished. topi offered so little, milanovic has done nothing. Surely, like lobban to a lesser extent, bilalovic plays some part weekly now. Has pace and aggression, and the goal showed real desire. Curious to see him on the left, fuck the inverted crap.

Love having a player up top like lazetic. Don’t like his diving but he’s a hard fucker who mixes it and gets stuck in. Real presence. Good win. Shit first half, excellent second. Shinnie a huge impact. Hopefully we see more of bilalovic. Wasn’t great but isn’t out of place. Great desire to get on the end of the cross.

2-1! Told you we should sub karlsson! Let’s learn from st mirren and not fuck this up!!!

Who is bilalovic? Thought we’d signed Alan Gow!

5 min var wait coming??

Sub karlsson and give legit width left. With 2 forwards we need the space. Karlsson cutting in doesn’t help.
