    Maybe it might be better putting Mackie in at centre half so as to reduce the number of changes needed. Tight pitch so less running about needed by him.

    Would also play Agyeman through the middle as a number 9 (if MacIver struggling for fitness). He is more effective nearer the centre of the pitch than out wide.

    We also know their tactics though, paddy Martin launch to their striker - so height required, Mackie getting bitched in the air at EEP still sticks in my brain  

  2. I’d keep Alfie over Ross at the moment, for what it’s worth. 

    Watched some early season highlights on FTV last night, he was central to so much, Alloa, Kelty and Edinburgh away particular highlights. Since then he’s basically been out the team apart from cameos. Mental to say he should be off this window. 

  3. Not meant to drop below freezing from 10am tomorrow til ko and no rain in sight, and a balmy 7 degrees Saturday afternoon. Knicker wetters the lot of ye. 

    Do we have the whole of the side behind the dugouts or just up to halfway line? Don’t think it was clear from the graphic

    For the cove game,In the km stand, the turnstile closest to Grangemouth...the scanner wasn't working, a quick flash of your season ticket  and the steward was letting you in and the qots game I seen the steward waving a teenage girl through without a ticket, she was trying to pay but it was sold out but her dad made a bit of a fuss so the steward operating the turnstile let her in for free

    This time last year we were watching home games in The Bay Horse  on a dodgy feed due to the guys who run The Only Accies Podcast and the WAH Facebook private group  page being banned by the same guy behind these stunts.

    Best turn out in January for years as the Pub was very busy with those boycotting in support of the banned.

    Moreover this  was due to a made up fictitious account by this Director…allegedly which was uncovered leading to the aforementioned bans and the above scenario.

    Todd is God on here was one of the recipients of the abusive messages from the fictitious account.

    Other then Board members closed ranks until our new Owner acting as a broker solved the issue with the banned fans allowed back after a month missing games.

     

    The current stooshie is a minor blimp compared to what went on then.

     

     

    This Twitter account came up on my feed, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same guy - desperately trying to cover his own back, replying to any tweet saying the bids are completely loony. Fans deserve better.

    You'd have to agree visually a lot better looking than Edinburgh though?

    Of course but then last week at home v anyone was a lot better than Edinburgh for example. 

    I just think our picture quality has NEVER been as good as it should be. It’s like watching in SD when you’ve seen HD being made for less money.

    I’m not trying to upset volunteers. Just wondering if there is a reason our picture quality has never reached the level Montrose or Alloa can achieve.

    I could say plenty and churn old material here but you get what you pay for with your volunteers. There's a fundamental lack of understanding of how to do your media.

    This is a small video from our stream (one of the actual 700 ten second clips that are served when you watch our stream)  compare that to your highlights.545.ts
     

    A better camera, or a better knowledge of equipment than us? The clarity in that compared to anything put out by us is mental

    Here you go Edinburgh City's version of the highlights which is much better resolution, brightness and clarity than ours. Do we need better cameras? This is much better to see the woeful first half (and the great saves their keeper made).

     

     

    Our camera quality is consistently poor, which it shouldn’t be considering the money spent on it. Edinburgh, Montrose and Alloa for example have much better clarity of picture whenever I see their highlights.

    Isn’t a new thing though, the quality was as poor last season and seasons before too

    That was the point though. There’s 2 or 3 of those players that might not have been necessary to bring in and instead give Honeyman and Walker more opportunities in our first team instead.

    The BoD have backed him to the hilt when finances are very tight so if he is saying some of these players aren’t good enough then it’s on him. The only one thing up a wage now that he doesn’t seem to rate is McKay. 

    Unrealistic expectations. Not a manager in the world gets every contract correct. Guardiola goes through about 3 duds for every success. Mcglynn’s success rate has been remarkable 

  10. The corner goal is a freak event not bad defending imo. The ball looks like it’s heading for the goal line so all players rush to the line to try cover the angle. It skims perfectly off the bar and straight to an Edinburgh head. So an assist for the bar. 

    Maybe if you’re harsh someone should’ve stayed marking him but it’s a situation I’ve never seen before having watched a lot of football

    Still a wee bit too much excuse making/deflection in there for me - it wasn’t just about set pieces, the entire first half was absolutely rotten and that was down to his selection. But, when you listen to it, he does ultimately accept responsibility which is what we all wanted. Fine. Don’t do it again and let’s move on. 

    Set piece stuff is crap. They were better and if we hadn’t made any changes at half time we were very unlikely to score

    Oliver played there most of last season and for a period was doing quite well. Oliver will play, I don’t think Allan is up to it. 

    It works because of the quality we now have behind it. Miller, Morrison, Nesbitt and Spencer buzzing behind the central striker. There’s our attacking strength, as well as the flying wingbacks. Experiment tried and failed, never ever ever again please. Oliver up top on his own next week please.
