The strangest thing about the lack of subs was the fact that was our 3rd game in 5 days. For a manager that is usually so quick to go to the bench it really is bemusing he left so many on when they were clearly burst. We have a week off now and I think we need it. All that mattered tonight was the win really and we have it.

Agreed on all counts.

This wasn't about the feed, it's about logging in. Microsoft azure, whilst not being without it's flaws, is usually very solid for this sort of thing. Put it this way, I've never known it to go down in 3 years of using it every day. That's not to say it hasn't whilst I've not been working as it's a global service but I've never not been able to use it until today.

Said to my pal, this has been Jensens best game for ages.

This isn't the club's fault 2bf. I work IT for the NHS and use Azure a lot and it's been down since about 4.

It may be we revert to a back 4 after the past two games. I would actually like to see nisbet start with Lazetic. Marco has legs and I think they complement each other well

I actually found his presser yesterday really good. He was calm, focused and not trying to shirk any responsibility.

This is good, hopefully it will settle the support a wee bit. People tend to get more agitated when they think change is possible imo.

I've not been so excited about the tale of a missing penguin since my first time playing Mario64

Not that I could see. Some players looked a bit wearied after Athens but I didn't see any signs of lack of effort or not really caring.

That was probably me mate, I've done a lot of digging on his first few seasons at Elfsborg. It really wasn't until the second half of the second season that they started to put together results and a huge swathe of the fanbase wanted him gone by the year and half mark. There are plenty of valid comparisons to be drawn and it's the reason I still have hope for Thelin and a desire for him to get the chance to see it out. Yeah, not your finest hour OD

I suspect I'm fairly solitary on the board with this opinion but I would still give him the season and that's not going to change unless I genuinely start fearing relegation could be a thing. That said I think it was Panda that said yesterday that this was the first time his faith had been shaken in the manager which I can understand. Cormack has a big decision to make though and imo if he's going to stick he needs to make that comprehensively known so the support backs off a bit. Given the lack of news from the club so far it would seem he's going to get the Killie game at least. After that we have a week off (much needed imo) then November is Larnaca away, motherwell, hearts and noah at home then livi away. Plenty winnable games there. I said a few months ago I thought the first half of the season was going to be tough so for me this isn't overly unexpected. I do still think we will have a very strong second half of the season if we keep Thelin though.

After the gubbing of last night this game defo has a must not lose feel to it now. At least we are at home as i would not fancy much at ER. In A96 Main A96 Think there will be goals, 2 each maybe?

That's brutal

I it back, they look just as good as shaktar

I suspect that advice comes from UEFA and not the club itself.

Seems a bit of a half baked appointment. Hun social media doesn't seem to have seen its mood rise much either, I guess they are just gonna Rohl with it....

Rohl wasn't seen as a done deal though but doesn't help them he ruled himself out.

The gift that keeps giving just gave again. Not a good look having your two top targets knock you back so publicly after it was supposed to be a done deal. The chances of them getting even a solid, no frills, appointment are virtually nil now and their fans know it and are suitably raging. According to the hun socials Thelwell and Stuart are the big problems and there's a lot of disenchantment about the American owners too. What a difference a few months make.

It's a free swing at a team that's better than us is how I'm looking at it. I doubt they are better than shaktar though and we gave them a decent game at a times.

Phillips was excellent today, arguably mom

Looks like we have a no 9 again folks. What A Fucking Goal Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

Either Devlin or Molloy at lwb you would think. Probably Devlin

Will take any kind of win at all 2bh but it would be amazing to get a convincing one. It would also be a very good thing if we could get Lazetic off the mark today.

I'm pretty nervous about it 2bh Al. A win would be massive and really gives us impetus going into the Athens game but they have a great record against us. A draw wouldn't be awful but a defeat would have a back to square one feel to it. Their form has been a bit more patchy than usual though and as long as we stick to 3 at the back I can see us coping with their physical front line pretty well. If we show up going forward like we did against Dundee in the first half we have a great chance.
