"Phil my pie"

Anyone looked at post-split fixtures yet? We are "due" Aberdeen, County and Hibs at home and Livingston and Motherwell away. However, that would give us 20/18 split and County and Aberdeen have the opposite problem which unfortunately means one of those two fixtures might get reversed.

The massive problem we have is whats the alternative? Jaiyesmi and Wright injured and Connor Smith - what a signing he looks btw - is nowhere good enough. No width at all. Would rather see May or Carey in Clark's role currently. A worry Phillips going off. Not really getting the indifference of some fans towards him leaving as he's streets ahead of most the rest at the moment.

Can't decide what's worse the defending once the cross comes in or the non attempts to stop it coming in. Lucky not to be further behind. Difference having Kennedy and Armstrong running vs Gallacher and Robinson playing endless static one-twos. That said at least we've seen those two; Max and Clark may as well not be out there.

Absolutely torrential at the moment.

Will wait till 1-2

Think Keijens and McGowan should be doing much better 2-on-1 with Obita too.

A couple of breaks with VAR somehow not giving a penalty for the Mitov incident and a dreadful touch by le fondre but defensively fine. Sibedh has done well occupying the centre halves but need more from the other attacking players. Two wing backs need to be better and braver on the ball too.

Assume Gordon was late hence the one less substitute? We'll be forced to go to a back four if one of centre halves get injured!

Hopefully we get some update soon with what's going on at saints.

I think the most depressing thing about that was saints were nowhere near the worst they've been this season. Probably deserved something from the game but the lack of cutting edge is painful. Every side coming to Mcdiarmid knows that they can let us have the ball and we're never going to do anything. Dundee are competent and I mean that as a compliment. It's half the battle in this league.

They've all descended on the muirton suite after the downpour.

Looked miles on in that first replay

Other than just hoping that Sibedh or Kimpioka's pace creates something, I don't know what the plan is to do so. Poor second. Considene and Robinson sleeping.

Need to be better with the ball, Phillips seems determined to give it away unusually often. Robinson should do better at the goal I think but it's one of those that come from defending so deep. Good ball and run though. A lot of our problems have been self inflicted though.

Tbf to mcinnes, thought mcgrath was a bit lucky there. Wasn't even mentioned in the commentary!

Can only assume Gogic was shocked to have an opposition striker being within 10 yards of him after Saturday

Without the awful arithmetic, this was the point I was trying to make.

Not outrageous to suggest we could be bottom this time next week. A lot to be worried about but my biggest concern is level of signing in January . A real feel of "f**k it, let's have a punt" about them. Three years and we're still playing a formation with wing backs without any actual wingback available.

A shot on target!!

Nonsense.

That would mean K. Smith in centre mid, assuming 5-3-2. Not that that's impossible. K. Smith at RWB seems most likely or possibly even playing Robinson or Gallacher there.

Gallacher, Booth, Montgomery, Considine, Carey, Robinson, Wright, Fransyk, Brown, Keltjens, Olufunwa, Jaiyesmi, McGowan, Costelloe and now Matt Smith. I reckon 15 different players used as wing backs in the last 14 months or so.

Assume so but an outside chance it might be 4-5-1 similar to the end of the Dundee game. Either way hope we get a lot more from (C.)Smith today.

Clear from the start the girls margins were much much bigger than the boys and it was going to take a selling disaster or massive refund for them to lose. Probably the first time I've watched in a long time that I actually thought a team did really well. Agreed right one went but wasn't a great PM either. Boys looking a bit useless again this year.
