It would be great to keep Baccus, though very unlikely. He was on the verge of a move to Bolton last season before it broke down due to injury. There was an agreement in place when he signed that we would not stand in his way if an opportunity arises to move down south. He has more than proved himself on the national stage and has been a top performer with us over the last couple of years. As Kwon was brought in when Baccus was away on international duty, in all honesty it didnt feel like we had lost quality as Kwon performed quite well in his absence. If we could get him back next season, which is more likely than Keanu signing and extension then.

Baccus actually does have a niggling injury which prevented him going to Bolton last summer.

Robinson has said the remit is to try and catch Killie now, rather than look behind us. All better rewards financially for finishing higher and a guaranteed extra couple of more games in qualifiers.

Mind he was on trial with us pre season when he was at Queens Park though we opted against signing him as we were not desperate for a right back at the time and he wasn't as experienced at that time.

Sorry my response was in relation to Brown rather than Elvis.

I personally haven't been impressed with any of his appearances thus far. I think the team looks weaker when he's playing.

Brown is only on loan till end of the season. I think we will be looking to fill his place as well as Strain's. Elvis and Tanner could well be our first choice full backs going into next season (with Elvis signing an extension of course). Would love to see Gogic stay, though the only pull may be European football and at that he may already be considering an alternative move outside the country. I see Mallan at Salford has been released. Not sure how fit he is following a long term injury, though if affordable would anyone be up for him filling one of those midfield roles?

Send us back the £2k appeal money for our troubles

Yeah it's literally going into the unknown. On a few occasions over the last couple of seasons when there has been something important at stake, a big home or travelling crowd, we have not got the result we are looking for. Hoping for a bit of a rub of the green this time and that Dundee feel that pressure at home we have sometimes struggled under.

We have already agreed a 2 year deal for him as well...

The COVID loan is 20 year interest free. All but 2 clubs (I think) used the covid loan and all took out different loan amounts. We could literally pay it back over 20 years at as low as 100k+. We have changed our model and its having a positive effect.

It would be great and not impossible to pick something up in the first home game leading into the game at Dens.

I actually think the timing of the Rangers at home works for us. We need to get home form back on track and I think our 3 home results will be absolutely decisive on where we finish. We pulled off an out of nowhere performance vs Celtic last season at home and I cant see why we cant again if we rise to it. I get the fear of Rugby Park vibes for the away game at Dundee, where the big occasion gets to us. Hearts and Killie at home, I feel we have to come away from both with points.

Has he not had something like 15/16 clean sheets? Thats a decent return for a goalkeeper and the season isnt finished yet.

I think at the time when he signed for us, he had offers from clubs in Europe. I'm sure one day soon he would like to return to Cyprus and settle with his family.

Where did i put him down? I think for what its worth hes been one of our most solid players this season.Ithink you have misread me.

I'm just going on the basis that Main was offered less when a new deal was on the table as it was outside the wage structure. The club are looking at reducing the wage cap. They pushed the boat out for Gogic. I'm not saying he's not worth his wage, i'm just going by what has happened previously and from what ive heard.

He's apparently our highest earner. I can't see us going all out to pay him more than what he's currently on. Gogic himself may only be willing to stay if we make europe also. Imo he would be offered a lesser contract just like Main was on reduced terms.

Fun fact. He's the stepdad of St Mirren supporting DJ Ewan McVicar.

Agree with this. Being 2-0 up and then going on to lose is criminal, especially in the manner we did.

What a bizarre take on it. Having a go at the player for trying to win the ball whilst we were chasing the game. If anything he should more determination than Devlin to win the ball.

We are there on merit, though I guess its when you put it into perspective the bigger clubs below us such as Hibs, Aberdeen with more resources. Apart from those two, there isn't a huge difference between the rest apart from possibly Livingston.

Imo there was a shift in mentality as soon as SMISA took over in 2016. It's been progress each year since then and fromwithin, we are not accepting to being a bottom 3/4 club regardless of the budgets other clubs have. Tony Fitz publicly came out and believed we should have been aiming higher and he got laughed off for it. We have put more at it towards our budget over the last couple of years and we have added more home fans to our gates most notably post covid when all was meant to be doom and gloom.

I think it's only natural he has been linked. Robbo alongside McInness have done tremendous on similar budgets lower than that of some of the teams around us. They have tried this approach already with Goodwin and it failed. They then employed from within and it failed and they have tried the tested veteran in Warnock and it has failed. I can see them either appointing a left field option from overseas or look at what is available down south within their budget. Gary Monk who was just appointed Cambridge manager wouldn't have been a bad shout imo.

IF we were awarded it and IF we scored it at the timing of the incident, it could have well had a brighter outcome going in level at half time and chasing a winner second half.
