Pleasantly surprised we have gone with the two up front.

I am still not convinced by him. As you say he is behind Clarkson, McGrath and Shinnie and if Barron was not out of favour for contractual reasons I would have him ahead of Polvara as well.

Hopefully Miovski is fit as think him playing is key to us having any chance of winning. Personally I would start with Miovski and Sokler from the start but can see Robson opting for an extra midfielder probably Polvara to start with. Big concern for me is left back/wing back. Don’t like McGarry defensively and just don’t think Hayes has the legs for playing wing back. Hopefully Tribute Act are knackered after their game on Thursday. Not going myself as previously stated not paying £39 to watch football in Scotland. It’s not worth it even for a final. oot Christmas shopping with daughter tv flat 2-1 Miovski and Sokler

Soklers finish was top drawer. I really think he and Miovski could form a great partnership if given time. Would definitely start both on Sunday. However just to temper things a bit Frankfurt seemed to be trying to walk the ball into the net and definitely treated it as a friendly.

Picked up a couple of freebies tonight so going to head along. Assuming we will be putting out none of the players. Who will play on Sunday or that played last night. Expecting Frankfurt to put out a weakened side as well but to still beat us comfortably. Fair number of Frankfurt fans on the train up who don’t have tickets. Shame they can’t see the game as would have created an atmosphere and made us extra cash. In pub Y pub 3-1 Barron with dons consolation goal.

Venue confirmed for Netherlands friendly.

Friendlies away to Holland and home to Northern Ireland announced for March.

MacKenzie said at weekend he would be out for a while yet.

I have train tickets but didn’t buy a match ticket. Might just head up and sit in pub.

He built a good Sunderland side before taking on the basket case that is Stoke. I think he would be good choice if we do need to make a change.

Still worth asking what they are wanting for him. Looked a good player.

Alex Neil sacked by Stoke City.

Another set piece another free header and we are 1-0 down.

Seems to be totally fixated on 3-5-2. No idea why he decides to play Devlin as one of centre backs when we have 3.

I got same deal as you for games but wife missed out as on 10 points. Got accommodation sorted for last two matches but still to sort first game.

I would say Hayes and Barron play different positions. I expect McGarry to come in for Hayes today. Barron should be coming in for one of Clarkson or McGrath but don’t think he will play.

Suspect you are right but still worth sounding him out as he might see getting us into Europe and then group football as a similar level of challenge. He is not going to get a team in England that will offer European football.

Really have to start winning as cannot afford to go any further behind Hearts. Very difficult to see us making up 13 points on Hearts if we lose. Also need to start getting away from the bottom of the table. Barron has to start in midfield as we look a better team when he plays. Would also have Sokler back to partner Miovski. However have no idea what Robson to do other than bring back McGarry for Hayes. Hearts looked decent against Tribute Act mid week and expect this to be a difficult game. Oot. flat local game daughters Christmas show 0-2 no dons scorer

Did anyone get tickets then? I got for all three Scotland games.

Was just coming on to say this. His Sunderland team played decent football. Can’t see him being the type of manager for Cormack though.

Alarming thing about tonight was players looked like they had no fight in them. Very reminiscent of end of Goodwin’s time. Club won’t sack him yet though so think this will go on for a while yet.

Well that was shite. Don’t think I have watched as bad a 45 this season with both sides very poor.

Lazy bastards not know how to copy and paste. I had to look this up myself. No problem with who’s been dropped but a bit surprised there’s no place for Barron.

I think as long as lessons are learned for future then this probably has been worth while. We now know we need to have a big enough and balanced squad to be able to rotate the team in games after Euro game. Money earned by club also helps.

Probably however they better not fucking get it.
