Interview which gives a bit of an injury update. Osman is a long shot for Saturday,  but along with booth will be back after the break. Penrice coming back too and dumbuya in full training. 

On the other hand no mention of Bannigan.

The only problem there is that some of those coming back have had a few injuries previously - whos to say Osman doesnt come back and is then injured 2 games later.  Hopefully we make a couple of additions if its looking likely that we are going to have a very light squad again

Watching tonight’s highlights  of the Aberdeen game confirms 2 things for me. 1.. Barton after his wee evening times rant should watch tonight’s highlights and realise there is movement off the ball from other players and he’s just too fucking slow to make a pass. He seems to think he’s a lot better than he is. 2. Devine needs a break send him to fucking Barbados or something just keep him away from our defence. Absolute liability and making other players look bad with his absolute chaotic positioning.

Barton was utterly frustrating last night. Both he and Edwards were dreadful in possession. Edwards would immediately get rid of the ball, only occasionally finding a man in red and yellow. Barton, on the other hand, was just a complete coward and would just hide. At times this was literal and he would move behind a teammate or opponent to save himself from being passed to. When he did have the ball he dithered about and ended up losing the ball when there had been ample time to play a pass to a runner.

And how the hell can someone with his height fail to win a single header? He didn't manage a single one. Liability of a player at the moment.

Barton won every header going on Saturday. Not sure why he just needs to see the game in front of him to be able to do so but this seems to be the case, as I agree he was dreadful in the air last night.

Unsurprising to see that clown car pairing Edwards and Devine culpable for the goal. Two absolutely useless players right now.

Barton needs to be in central defence where he has the game in front of him.      He's the only person who thinks midfield is his best position.

Define was never the greatest but his continued loss of form since Booth got injured is worsening by the game.  He's now a liability who's lack of confidence is affecting the rest of the defence.

Seen that you guys are looking at a couple of our players. Craig Halkett and Shaun Byrne. Both have been outstanding for us this season 

Halkett would be a vast improvement on Devine. However one of your supporters has posted that those 2 are signing new deals along with Pittman??
