Seems left (of centre) field, let’s go for it

Good on the club in fairness. Showing rte council they’re willing to play hard ball

No, I’ve just seen him play more. Jensen is pish, McKenzie is a hun, it’s a no brainer. For the record, we should still be looking to get someone in. McGarry isn’t the answer.

I’d disagree that Jensen is better than McGarry. JM has at least had some positive improvement. Jensen has been pish from day one

Good to see athletic Bilbao doing so well this season

You really think we drop Clarkson over McGrath? McGrath has been a drain on the team for nigh oh 2 months. Since the hun game in fact. I don’t think we’ll get anything from this game, such is the sad state of affairs and the state of our squad. I’d actually keep McKenzie out. If he’s not signing, not at the races, we go with Mcgarry. Think Rubi has to drop out and McDonald comes in alongside Molloy. Just have to pray that Devlin is ok. Palaversa with either Shinnie or polvara. fuck knows who we play up top. Guess it doesn’t matter as neither of them score goals anyway. I’m not sure JT quite knows what to do at the moment, looks like the OT curse rubbed off on him when he went down. Got to hope that our Jan recruitment is on the money. Oh, and fuck McInnes. out bed bed probably watching Bluey. 2-0 killie, no dons scorer.

Don’t need competition for McKenzie, we need to replace him. Hes not signing, so may as well look to sort it out properly.

Where does Gunn sit in all of this?

Well then then it’s hardly surprising they’re getting this treatment. Reap what you sow.

We seem to have sparked a wee revival in Hibs’ form after our game at Easter road, whereas we’ve continued to struggle. Injuries certainly aren’t helping and are we now seeing a squad struggling to cope with the demands of the system? Would be nice to end the year at home with a good victory to get us out of our apparent slump. Club are certainly trying to push the fans for another sell out, but not sure how sales are going? How do we see us setting up? Hopefully the week off has freshened ideas up and given the likes of Shinnie and Nilsen a much needed rest. Likewise McGrath, who just hasn’t been at it despite scoring. Thought Nisbet was rotten against them in Edinburgh, and I’ve been far from convinced by him. Like the team, his form seems to have dropped off a cliff, but if a game against his former side can’t do it, then very little will. out bed bed hoping for no rain 2-2, McGrath and duk

Wheels are well and truly coming off

I mean a lot of folk are euro snobs and look down on the league. The only thing that seems to attract them are big name players, which cost the league more and don’t actually bring much. It’s a very congested market, that’s for sure. They need to up their fan engagement though.

Sad, Rubens Baraja (yes I know, showing my age), was one of my fave all time no.8’s. I know they’ve had a tough time but hadn’t clocked it was that bad. I’m guessing much like ours, the works to the mestalla never happened?

Haven’t been paying attention to la liga much, but what the hell has happened to Valencia?!? Having a rotten old season.

Did he actually bottle taking the final penalty? Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving person

Brisbane are one of the worst teams in the league this season, which is saying something WSW are probably equivalent to Hibs, there’s always some drama and occasionally play decent football but ultimately fail.

Would be quite handy if we were able to buy up some of that land. A full rotation of the pitch would probably be out of the question (from memory one of your options?) but would potentially allow a good stand to replace the south, and potentially shift the alignment of the pitch to allow future main stand redevelopment.

Sigh. So predictable. Another one I won’t bother watching.

So 3 point lane returns for Chelsea then. Ange must be on a shoogly peg now.

I’m surprised JT hasn’t worked out (he must have), that Morris is a super sub and cannot play from the get go. But I don’t get how or why we’re only a second half team? We know we’ve got weaknesses and we probably gave ourselves a false start with this squad but the drop off has been alarming. Can almost understand on the road but not at home. Will need to watch the highlights later. Not sure if PHG changes things for us

Standard this season has been particularly poor. League is broke so more are going to try and use academy / youth to try and turn profits on players but that’s going to take time. Anyway, Newcastle are pretty shite and Adelaide are a bit hot and cold this season. I’ve needed something to latch on to and the nix are that. Quality generally isn’t as good as home but I am glad we’ve now got another kiwi team, even though we haven’t beaten them yet. Nice having an actual away side.

@Reekie_Red you going to the derby today?

Seems like Mackenzie is out anyway.

Weather sounds like it's going to be pretty miserable again on Sat, high winds and rain. So a probable shite fixture just got worse. Really need to get back to winning ways, do we see MacKenzie back into the team? I don't think McGarry put a foot wrong over the last two games tbh, and if JM isn't signing a new deal, heart says i'd be tempted to ditch him but head says we should play our best team. If we can maintain the level of performance against the saints as we did against Celtic, then I think we should be fine, but we really do need to take the chances when provided with them. That's ultimately why we lost to them. Saints are on a similar run in form to us, i.e. only won 1 out of the last 5, albeit we've got two draws rather than defeats. Out Bed Bed hopefully out and about. 2-1 dons, Nisbet and Sokler.

Thought Polvara looked very good when he came on, which is exactly what we needed. Is nilsen suspended this weekend?
