If McGeady starts tomorrow then 43% of his league starts this season will have been against Dundee United. Imagine that stat would stay the same once Brown watches him start a game.

Yeah, would be odd to identify him, let him speak to Brown and have him say in his interview that he sees himself as a box to box midfielder only to play him at RB. Unless we're back to not wanting to give opponents a competitive advantage and told him to lie.

Sure you could add Smith and Shankland but not sure Houston belongs on that list given his next move. Stick him in with Roscoe, Ross, Anderson, Cameron, Barjonas, McAllister and Afolabi which would prove that route still has it's fair success of failure.

If you look at the top scorers in the National League North/South last season the majority of the ones that moved up a level in the summer have since moved back down on loan so clearly a bit of gap for more than just Willoughby. Wouldn't read too much into his lack of goals so far this season and hopefully he's here to be a poacher and nothing more.

Kelly hasn't played 90 mins in the league this season and was even out the squad for a couple of games at New Year. Wouldn't be that unrealistic he'd be looking for more regular football.

If Harry McHugh doesn't sign then it's pointless I've done a basic family tree for him.

Mark Casey, David Lowing, Stephen Swift and Craig Higgins are the ones I think are missing

Join Aberdeen in the semi-finals. Rangers/Hearts and QoS/Dundee United the other QF matches taking place today.

All 22 players yet to realise it's windy.

I'm sure Mitchel Frame is from Ayr so he could solve the LB issue and from my FM save I would recommend Daniel Kelly who actually made his debut at the weekend.

They give off the impression that they don't actually go to the games which would explain why the questions are cliche and generic. They would be better inviting questions if that was the case.

Clearly all the money went on Brown as soon as it was up as he's now favourite.

As much as the club deserve criticism for some things, this week people seem to have knee jerk reactions to a lot of speculative stuff that is unconfirmed and has no given source but accepted it as fact anyway. It's possible it is from sources within the club or people directly associated with the first team but I suppose time will tell and for some of it we'll never know what's true.

From social media watch the question is whether Mulgrew is coming in too strong here or are Smith's DM's open?

If the weather forecast, wind wise, is correct for Tuesday then you'd think the game could be in doubt. Might not be the worse case scenario although happy to play if we get Stephen Kelly back to take corners.

Norrie now the only remaining Brit in the singles. Did notice only 4 players in the men's draw are yet to lose a set after 2 rounds with Sinner and Etcheverry the only seeds. Imagine that'll change tomorrow.

You might already know but it's part of The Traitors: Uncloaked on BBC 2.

He's on LinkedIn which will please the board. Sure it will come down to whether his profile is as strong as Mulgrew's, what his PowerPoint interview skills are like and if he's got a photo with Roberto De Zerbi as that's the important stuff for our board.

I sense part of Paul's inevitable downfall will be him thinking that he's still the leader of the traitors and Harry's not smart. The reality is Harry took over around the time Paul went in the dungeon as shown by his comment at the roundtable and getting what he wanted at the end.

My bad I created the list but couldn't be bothered to keep it up to date. Might need to revisit it.

Recruitment point was more that the current first teamers on 2 years deals have no real value and are likely to end the same way as Mitchell-Lawson rather than Dipo . Certainly encouraging to see Hislop at 15 take part in the warm up earlier in the season so hopefully we can get a contract sorted in the summer.

Would sum up our recruitment that for a club adopting a player trading model our top 3 players with the highest value are probably 3 teenagers (Watret, Ecrepont, Hislop) with 0 league starts. Also our lack of youth development means their value diminishes the longer they stay.

Whatever happened to the new board member that club wanted last March with significant experience in communications, production, media and marketing? Maybe hoping nobody remembers or they had a look at the current set up and ran away.

Club will be making zero attempts to get the next two games on while hoping the weather forecast stays the same. That way they can buy themselves time while spending the January money on a snow machine rather than new players.
