Talk about trying to overcompensate haha.

That’s why Ive be done with him for a while. His game management is utterly shocking. Saturday was a prime example, no sub warning up from the 75th minute, no intention of trying to alter the game tactically.

It’ll be Senga, Bryden and Tomlinson first and you’ll like it.

Set pieces and crosses we concede from, it’s almost like that happened a lot last year.

Yep this is his second championship game. Majority of his matches have been in L1 and L2, not even reffed 50 senior matches….

Aye, but he might as well be at home.

Amartey not travelled with the squad, not sure what’s going on and been told it’s 451 tonight with McKenzie lone striker, brace yourself folks.

We walked by him at Airdrie pre match and he was walking fine with no crutch/boot. Assumed he would then be back in training soon. Wouldn't expect him to be seen till December though.

Raise you this ghoul...

Pass.

Bullen really is a one dimensional manager. The lack of activity from the bench sums him up. No one warming up from around the 75th minute.

Another Bullen master class; not a single sub bar Rose, should be hung for that alone.

Big game buzz.

Think we go same team for Saturday. Good to get a bit of consistency about us, especially in defence and midfield. Be interesting to see if/when McGeady is back. Going for 2-0, hopefully starting to create a strong core now and the usual suspects turning up an ddoing the business up the top end of the pitch. Chalmers and Murphy to get the goals.

Smith said that the capacity was around 10,000 and that wouldn't increase/decrease with the new stand, would stay around the same.

Yeah this. There are only a handful of clubs who would require part of the North Terrace and none of them are in this league on a normal match day. Part of the Main Stand and terrace below and Railway end if needed, if not we can move round.

One of Senga/Young go back in January, probably Young. Dempsey will be back by then and I don’t see us sending Smith out on loan to keep Young in on loan. Likelihood is we’re going to need a defender in with Musonda now not going to return before AFCON, so would imagine 1 out 1 in in January for that reason, extend Sengas loan and see what we can do re Dowds and Chalmers.

So here we go… Bar the first 5 minutes, I thought we were brilliant the first half. Stick Dipo in that team and we’re 3/4/5 up in the first half. Even at that, it’s a shame none of the big chances fell to Dowds. Senga ran the midfield for me, was everywhere, good on the ball going forward and strong defensively. Syla also very good. Both ran out of energy second half, but hopefully with games that match fitness will come. On McKenzie, the first chance cleared by the defender is very unlucky, a more natural striker just lifts that ball over the defended, but needs to score the second. On Chalmers, the one thing that holds him back from a team like Dundee Utd or above is his pace. Has the touch, has the vision and skill. Ahui, when I seen him starting feared the worst. Had a near enough perfect game, felt he maybe became a bit edgy the last 10, however I think he’s played himself into a start next week in what could be a redemption game v Morton.

Didn’t think about Wasties, really nice food in there now and drinks relatively cheap with loads of screens. Looks good, feel like it’s going to be a proper enclosed ground now.

Smiths maybe your best bet can get food in there and watch the game. Other than that I can’t think of many kid friendly pubs.

My only slight nip pick with both the good wins are we are a counter attacking team so QP suited us. Airdrie clearly want to be pressed and we haven’t pressed much in each of the games so far, particularly the Raith game was noticeable as they pressed us and we weren’t. The next few games will be interesting to see how we adapt and push on. Same team for me v Dunfermline.

Chalmers played 15 minutes for Dundee United in the league cup, so would that rule out another team coming in for him as he’s played competitively for 2 clubs this season?

He wasn’t even in the same post code for the second goal yesterday, causally jogging by the half way line after the ball hit the net
