Absolutely where we should deploy him. He did well for the nix further forward. Failing that, no real point in him being with us.

Very much so. Cantabrians from Canterbury. The huns of NZ.

Seems like Motherwell are about to sign ex nix RB, Callan Elliot. Good player, fell out with the club for one reason or another and ultimately neither party wanted to yield. Good young player, disappointed he left the club but think he’s still got a bit of learning to do. Good engine on him and a good crosser of the ball. Could be a good pick up.

Family trip out to Sumner beach today, which is a nice part of Christchurch. Spent the long weekend down here from Wellington. Averaging 30 degrees for us here with a high of 34 fortunately that day I was in the local office so airconditioned and my boys found a good shaded pool! Such a family friendly city, they really are making the most of having to reset after the earthquakes. Just wish it wasn’t such a car heavy city. Or full of cantabs

Playing a potter team at home, and given their embarrassment at the weekend, I fully expect a 4-6-0 formation from him. Barry will probably overthink this one and it’ll be a dire 0-0, which will help neither team. Embarrassingly, they’re also not far from us in the league so we absolutely need to be getting 3 points here. Anything less should be sackable. concerned that we don’t seem to hear any news of incoming transfers when we clearly lack options off the bench to offer anything different. So again, I’m failing to see anything other than a draw here. out bed work work 0-0

This is all feeling rather ambitious at the mo

Hardly fills you with confidence but we’re through to the next round which is the main thing.

The good thing is a couple of their new boys are out cup tied for this one, so should help to destabilise their improved form of late.

As is typical, Scotland has had more winter weather at the end of the "winter" break. Will be interesting to see how that develops over the next month Clyde aren't in great form, so can see this being a pretty poor game but with goals. Especially since the man in the opposing dugout is the bin man, so i'd expect very little football to be played given their location in the league pyramid. They have had an uptick in form since McCall took over, so it’s going to make it interesting who actually gets a result here. Even though it should be us comfortably and they’re conceding goals every game. Understand that there is a fan zone being set up? We need to progress, or mentally, it'll be a thing that we can't navigate this round. I don’t care how, but progress we must.

This guy is being linked with us by some on twitter, but i've no idea about the validity of it: Recent loan signings aren't overly inspiring.

Are the club on holiday? I know they were saying they predicted a quiet window, but thought we'd hear / see some movement by now?

I would have thought that they might need to do that under the planning conditions, but i'm not up to date with them in Scotland. @tom_widdows would know more. Regardless, a shame. Despite only have 200 employees, i'd imagine the subbies are the ones who'll suffer the most in all of this. Shite time of year.

Hadn’t realised that one. Sad, he was a very good actor. Very much of his time in terms of caliber.

Quite shocking news tbh. I know his homes weren’t to my tastes but they served a purpose. What lead to their failure? Too reliant on cheap pre brexit labour?

He is having an unreal season so far. Would be delighted for him (and very much us) if he got a move for that.

First game of the year and last pre winter break. Has a sense of foreboding doom about it. County got a very credible draw away to hearts although haven’t been in grey form themselves. A few postponed matches over the Christmas period means they’re as fresh as we are. we need to win, I don’t care how we do, but we do. Do I think we will? Not sure and this has to be the end of Robson. Even if we won, I think he has to go. It’s not good enough and he’s clearly not got the know how to change it. out bed bed deck building 1-1, miovski.

There is absolutely no way we can go through the winter break with him still in charge. Into the North Sea you go.

Not surprising given his form this season, but also good for us.

Last game of the year, and saints are pretty much in free fall. If there was a time to play them, much like well, this is it. Their stuttering form is probably not too dissimilar to ours so this could go either way. Hopefully the weather has calmed down by Saturday too, could do without having to play another game at an inopportune moment. Our form against them has been patchy at best of late, but we did manage to pump them 3-0 earlier in the year, a rare win for Robson post contract. out bed bed bed 2-0 dons, miovski and sokler

No doubting that. But he was also very average a lot of the time. He also never tested himself abroad (non uk) which kinda proves your point of playing within a comfort zone. Lewis is above that already. Don’t think you’ll ever convince me he was a great player

Given the frequency of games of late, feels like an age since we last played. Hoping we see Barron and it wasn’t a case of Robson getting the word from the ref that the Dundee game wasn’t happening

I see Southampton are being linked with miovski, now there’s a surprise still , given it’s England I’d like £10m min please

Another game we need to win. Not playing against Dundee was a complete pain the arse, let alone a financial hit for the fans. There is a bit of a gap developing between us and the others above us. The volume of games means we’ll need to start using the squad more but intrigued to see how we do that. Their form is pretty poor, albeit they have a lot of draws of late. out bed travelling travelling 1-0 dons, miovski

What amuses me is reading the huns that are still trying to maintain he’s not the best in his family. Absolute wallpapers Barry was fucking shite. How he got so many caps for Scotland is a sad indictment on the state of the Scotland set up at the time. The jealousy is hilarious.

I’d hope for a wee bit more than that though
