  1. Thanks but I'd given up in the huff by then.
  2. Just back from the stenny game today. Utter mince! Was hoping to catch the game but the streaming gods aren't playing ball. Knowing Spartans. I don't think they'll trouble us but they will be stubborn and physical. Ify take 2-0 now
  3. At least we now know why we were ordering new spotlight bulbs every other week.
  4. If we can keep big HN fit we are in for a very good season. He's a joy to watch, gliding through the game like it's in slow motion. Winning everything and some of his passing under pressure today was outstanding. What I loved today was him going mental when we were slack with the ball. He's the absolute leader in that squad. Something we've not seen since Bobby biscuit. I thought palaversa was solid enough but as mentioned above more of a holding player again. Good cover for HN and shinnie. Felt Clarkson was desperate for the Hollywood pass to get his place back and ultimately put us under pressure multiple times by giving the ball away. I'm not sure where he goes in this system. Great to see that table tonight. That's got to put the fear into teams facing us.
  5. Have to say that Morris had looked really dangerous again. I'd like to see us play him right with topi left next week. Proper pace with pape between them. Should blow Spartans away. In
  6. Ooft
  7. Should be a good test for us. Motherwell have been a pleasant surprise this season. I'd fancy us to win by a couple provided the old manager of the month curse doesn't strike. It'd be good to keep momentum as we've yet to really be tested in the league by a good side.
  8. Made a good start. Good run there and not scared to have a go.
  9. Second half was a bit flat. Never looked like we had an extra man. Great thing is that we've won again and still have a lot better to come from a lot of guys.
  10. Good half. Nelsen again outstanding, just running the show. Should be a couple up and missed some real chances. Only downside is that we haven't put it to bed and Killie will come out determined to steal something. Keskinen still to convince me that he's any better than Morris after that half. Hopefully just nerves.
  11. Seen that, can't say it excites me. Seems to spend most of his time on the table.
  12. Spartans it is then. They'll sit in and put any free kick into the box. Big physical side but full timer fitness should show.
  13. A small mention for Mackenzie today. Thought he was excellent and had been pretty consistent this season. Could be the next big money sale of he keeps this up. I like the positivity from the full backs. Clearly being allowed to play and finding themselves in great positions. Second game in a row where Nelsen has been very good. Never breaks out of a saunter but seems to boss the game.
  14. Didn't offer much when he came on. felt for ester, odd we'd set up in the first half like we did on the second he would've had more chances
  15. To be fair Nelsen just wasn't looking when he passed that. Shinnie falling out of it. Surely we have a CM to bring on.
  16. Thought Morris had been out most dangerous player. McGrath wide slows play too much. Be good to see topi come on left and ideally take pape or Ester off. Two up there haven't really been involved.
  17. I only watched the highlights on BBC but weirdly I thought that he looked tidy before being linked. Can't remember much of him from the opening day though. Either he wasn't playing or didn't stand out.
  18. More above just to emphasize that a couple of misses doesn't have me worried about sokler. If he can score one in 9 he'll be doing fine.
  19. Consistency is key
  20. I'm still giving sokler time. More than capable. Miovski never scored every chance he got either. Have a bit of faith. This topi signing though is a great statement to our rivals that we are the biggest of the rest. Clips look great and things are coming together. Still not too sure about defence, let's hope we can score plenty.
  21. Good result, could've had more ball but nobody will grumble with six points. Plus points: Nilsen dominated that game and rarely wasted the ball. Devlin beating his man time and again, huge shift in confidence. Molloy looks a player. ( Error apart ). Great to see Vinny involved and scoring. Negative: need to create more chances and the defensive blip. Didn't think gueye or Ambrose really took their chances. All in all happy with that, I don't think we can claim to be challengers yet but we've certainly improved already.
  22. Commentators curse there. Good start, ester should probably have gone first time but gogic was niggling. Not really got the wingers into it. Could be better, could be worse. I'd bring in Vinny and take off gueye moving McGrath to 10 or off for another striker. Doesn't have the pace on the left to get away from his man.
  23. Fosterinho and amy MacDonald Quality on insta and very down to earth.
  24. Who does he knock out of the team if he's as good as suggested? May also suggest that McGrath will be used as a winger for the season
