Scales will definitely be out of at least another 3 games so we need cover for that at a minimum. Could maybe play McKenzie as left sided centre back?

Victims have +20 goal difference already. Cannot see Ross surviving much longer.

But they lost both legs so away goals never came into it. Where as Braga put them out if away goals was still in place.

Plastic pitch at Annan and a great social club. Open terrace at away end so better not rain. As long as everyone if fit would be tempted to stick with same starting 11 as don’t like changing a winning team. In Work then lift down Away end Lift back to capital 3-0 Miovski, McCrorie and Besuijen

Falkirk based team who had a big youth set up and added an adult team a few years back. Zander Diamond used to be manager.

First game in cup played tonight with Syngenta beating Threave 1-0.

Alex Neil allegedly taking Stoke job less than a year after taking on Sunderland job.

Fucking hate it as biggest beneficiaries so far seem to have been Tribute Act.

Michael O’Neill leaves Stoke.

Expect this to be our most difficult game since Victims at the start of the season. Martindale’s teams are always physical and tough to breakdown. Not seen any evidence this has changed this season. Expecting another tight game. oot flat local Scottish Cup game flat 1-0 McCrorie.

This game not got the same quality but New York ahead with goal that would have not looked out of place in Real Sociedad v Barcelona. Screamer from Pereira.

Finished 4-1 to Barcelona. Very even first half but Barca ran away with it in second half. On to Chicago v New York now.

For anyone that’s bored Real Sociedad v Barcelona is about to start on ITV 4.

Think most of the chances you are talking about were after the goal when St Johnstone were trying to push out more which was what I said above. Prior to the goal we really only had Miovski’s offside goal.

Clarkson strike was only way we were winning game yesterday. Created very few real chances prior to it and felt game had 0-0 written all over it. Had a few more opportunities after the goal as St Johnstone tried to push out a bit more. Looked more solid defensively yesterday but not sure how much of that was down to St Johnstone having zero attacking intent or better play from us. Roos save in 2nd half looked good on first viewing but having seen it back on tv. he maybe got lucky no striker followed the strike in as he pushed the ball straight out in to the middle of the goal.

From what I have seen Lewis is a better keeper than Roos who definitely has an issue with coming for cross balls.

Man United players looking like they are not playing for the manager.

Got to get a right back in as Richardson is utter shite. If Roo’s cannot come off his line then we need to go back to Lewis in goal. Need to get McCrorie into midfield as we are over run in there without him. Too many players who are big strong fast but not very good at football. Injuries to Clarkson and Kennedy both were non contact so bit of a concern. Only positive was Miovski. Looks a real find. Might be lucky to hang on to him in January at this rate.

Just found this out. Assuming we will now move McCrorie back into left side of defence and Scales at left back again. Would rather move Stewart over to left of central defence and play Bates to allow us to keep McCrorie in midfield but cannot see Goodwin going with that.

Finished 7-0.
