Next season in the championship has the potential to be exciting. Bradley, Lawal, Kelly (if we can keep him), Teto (if we can get him in the door) would be a young, exciting, and capable of getting in the playoffs squad. But there's no way we stay up unless some crazy signings happen in the next 4 days. And we need to beat County.

Well, the Premiership has been fun for 5 years. See you in another 15

I think the idea that the first game was very even and would have been a draw if Montano hadn't been sent off is a little bit of revisionism tbh. Dundee won that game pretty comfortably in my head, a good first half performance was let down by an awful second half one, with Montano being stupid and getting sent off, alongside us getting lucky with Bakayoko's goal being called off. If we'd got a point after that second half performance it wouldn't really have been deserved. Second game was much closer IMO. The primary difference between us and Dundee this year is that we've been toothless. 4-2-3-1 from the start plz this time. No Devlin, Sangare in at left back, Dan McKay in from the start.

Ditto, he'd improve our squad at the moment, bring him home

Bahamboula was a decent player on his day, but was lazy af defensively and probably just pissed Davie off with that attitude. Hopefully a busy few days incoming

How does that make you feel?

Our penalty record is absolutely abysmal

I expected it to last longer than 4 minutes tbh

Decent. Excited to get the Fife Pound. I can see us winning 4-1, I can see us losing 4-1. Only guarantee is that Jack Hamilton will score, after being pish here for 5 years.

And Greg Stewart has signed for Killie, so that's not happening either

Quirin Moll (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirin_Moll) is coming with us to Turkey as well apparently

That's Tom Parkes away. Thank f**k

Definitely not. Only managed to get our diddy team to spend 6 years in the Premiership by giving him control. Very unhealthy indeed.

If there was one player we could ship out of the club this window, it would be Parkes. Not that he's a bad player or influence, but we're apparently paying him an absolute shitload. if Bahamboula & Bitsindou also go then that's a great start.

If we could make it happen, he would be an upgrade. Wouldn't be surprised if we could get him here for 6 months to get him in the shop window

I'm not a lawyer, but surely if the home office have declined a work permit, and he's training with us occasionally, then legally we can't be paying him? Otherwise we'd be paying him...to do work?

I make 5-6 games a season these days, just whenever I'm up in Scotland. The rest of the time, I'll watch a stream if I can find it. I suspect there are plenty of people in a similar boat

The stream I was watching at the time had a much better angle, he was definitely off. It was marginal, but technically correct

Yeah, something smells off there. Martindale clearly didn't rate him after one too many blunders, and he's spent the last 4 years in Finland/Scotland so that homesickness must have come on pretty quickly. Tbf, if he didn't want to be a bit part player in a relegation battle, moving him on is probably the most sensible thing to do.

Guess there's now more context as to why De Lucas hasn't been picked recently. I say that, there's no context to this. I know people need to be shipped out, but this still feels harsh. Prone to a brain fart, but was our best defender for our best spell this season.

It was a simple offside from the ball in. Guthrie was coming backwards, and was off by the width of his arse. Technically correct, buit frustrating, and no reason for it to take 3 minutes.

VAR is an absolute shambles. 3 minutes for what's a quite basic offside?

Nouble dropped. Devlin starts. Shamal dropped. Happy enough with this lineup.

I find Montano's best position, by an absolute mile, to be left back. He was initially signed as a winger, but he's a driving runner rather than a weaving one and is so much more dangerous from further back. Penrice, much more flexible, and I think we'd be much more dangerous if we swapped the two. Throw Obileye in for Ledingham and I'd be delighted with that lineup
