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

I think frustrating is how I'd sum that up. We definitely went toe to toe with them, which was the level of performance we've been missing, but fuck me, CLARKSON! Had all the time in the world to sort that shot out and then the one moment Devlin has a complete brain fart when the rest of the defence did their job, they score. I thought Doohan was great tonight and I think he deserves a mention, McGarry. He did his job and didn't really put a foot wrong. Had one wayward pass (because of the conditions) but as did many others. I wanted him to take a shot in the second but instead it went back to Nilsen. Conditions were a great leveller but just a shame we couldn't see it out. Some block by CV for Soklers effort though. Not sure why Rob McLean was saying just get it on target (it was, it got blocked).

Well this is going to end well, isn't it?

None of this fills me with any positivity at all. Happy to be proven wrong. Isn’t Ritchie pish?

Was impressed with the posh bits grasp of the English language though. Unusual for them

Starting CB for Watford

Not expecting anything from this game in all honesty. They’ve fairly charged on since our game and we’ve now got a couple of injuries to deal with. Be interesting to see of those who started against hearts, start again on wed. Doohan obviously is pretty much guaranteed but unsure of the rest. Does polvara get a chance in this one, be good to get some minutes in his legs after being out for so long. If we get this wrong and it could be a bit of a doing like the cup semi. Be nice if we can keep the GD tally down. Also need all our players to turn up and put in a good shift! Out bed work work 3-0 them, no dons scorer.

Haven’t caught the game yet, but how did the defence and in particular mcgarry play? I’m guessing not great. I’ve the fear of we have to play doohan for any stretch of time.

Love how the good guys in there are clearly annoyed about being called diets (understandably so too). Good on them. That shite has no place in our game.

VAR taking a lifetime to decide whether the Southampton second goal is on or off.

Yikes, not a great place to be heading to when confidence is having a bit of a wobble and we appear to be a bit fragile. Hearts are always hard at home, unless you're celtic it would seem. I see they're already down against Cercle Brugge, do we want them to get pumped and be demoralised, or does that just fire them up? Personally, I don't think it'll make a difference, they hate us as much as we hate them and they'll see this as an opportunity to slay us. Question is, do we shake up the defence for this one? My thoughts are no, but we probably need the midfield to do a bit more legwork to assist them. Can't legislate for switching off, it just can't happen. Hopefully Sokler get's a big boost from his finish (said that plenty of times, but it's getting a bit more frequent now), and leads the line well. Not sure what was up with Nisbet, he was well and truly pish against hibs. Do we see the return of Dante? Not quite sure where he fits tbh. Out Bed Bed recovering from Covid 2-1 them, sokler

Jensen is pish unfortunately! Does feel like we need a big defensive signing, but not sure that's going to happen.

Well, I got the 3 bit right, just not the scorers or result couldn’t watch much of it because of work, but wasn’t able to watch from the 80th min so was surprised to see we’d drawn 3-3. Need to watch the highlights, but that was a pish game. Hopefully this funk we appear to be in is short term as there were a lot of players not at the races today, again. don’t think any of us would have had any qualms about who started the game, so I’m not sure what’s wrong. Soklers goal deserved to win any game, where has this guy been? Get we didn’t realistically deserve much from this, but the team let themselves down. can’t play like that on the weekend, that’s for sure. Lost count the number of wasted passes Nilsen made (not the only offender).

Clarkson on for Nisbet, hasn't done much but surprised.

From what I've seen so far, we've been pish. Doesn't surprise me we're 1-0 down.

Also noted in the financial report that we’re not moving from pittodrie for the foreseeable. None of this surprises me.

Seems bonkers

Right Nisbet, time to break some hibbie hearts! Really want to see a positive reaction today!

Agree with this. He’s not at their level. The only reason they’d sign him would be to weaken us, which is of course a possibility.

Quick turn around and on paper, the perfect team to be facing. I’d hope we go for the jugular on this one, as they really are in honking form. didn’t work out for us on the weekend for one reason or another, but Im sure jimmy will have us fired up to respond to it. Do we have the whole stand for it? out bed work work 3-0 dons, nisbet, sokler and duk

Shite way to go down but saints clearly wanted it more. Disappointed for such a passive performance after the international break but felt like this was going to go against us with the conditions. True test will be how we pick it up on Tuesday.

So do we expect to hear about McKenzie signing for the Huns in Jan or will they wait until the end of the season? I’m guessing we’ll find out this seasons scape goat status soon

Need to find a winner here, especially with the huns up now edit: it’s been chalked off but the point remains

With the advice provided in this thread KFP, I look forward to seeing you at the airport one day

I hear the weather forecast isn’t looking too great for the weekend. Have we played in shite weather under jimmy yet?
