Saying on the radio the official word is that Duk is ill...

Think Pollock can be put back into the not an option pile again then.

Please! A stationary chair could play at fullback against Aberdeen this season.

No clue what formation that is. Not sure if Milne is in midfield or at CB? No Duk at all in the squad.

Confirmed by the club now.

Don’t be silly, next you’ll be suggesting we play a midfield 5 that isn’t entirely made up of centre mids?

Here we go again. Says we’re looking at several options with Pollock being one of them.

I know, I posted as much earlier.

No I can’t say I am either. As I said above I think they’re just delaying because they don’t have a clue for an alternative just now.

Yeah I think everyone knows realistically if that game had meant anything it would have turned out very differently. It seems pretty obvious they have absolutely nobody lined up and so are just stalling for time. A defeat on Tuesday and likely some potentially grim games against the ugly sisters afterwards means it’s surely inevitable now.

Starting today for Watford as well. Doesn’t mean he won’t still go as Derby are already out of the FA cup so he wouldn’t need to worry about being cup tied but it is a bit of a strange move to play him if he’s supposedly got one foot out the door.

Not that it’s enough to go by on its own but transfermarkt lists him as a cm/am that can also play on the wing so doesn’t sound like a Ramadani type at least.

I think that would apply for both our sides at this point.

Way, way more positive than I expected. Have to imagine Hearts will do much better in the second half.

I just don't fancy Morris to have any end product although i suppose a game like this where we're likely going to have to counter attack would certainly suit his pace. Would be nice to see Duncan play any games in his actual position rather than trying to play him as some sort of closing down centre mid.

Yeah not that I'm calling for Morris to start but it's another Robson peculiarity that he seems keener to play him out of position at wing back than to play him on the wing in a formation that uses wingers.

Yeah guarantee it’s 5 at the back with Barron on the bench and the ball being shelled up front to Miovski on his own. Not that Hearts don’t usually beat us easily enough at Tynecastle regardless of the circumstances but I’ll be shocked if they don’t win by at least 3.

That’s the first two episodes of the Air Force “follow up” series Masters of the Air up on Apple TV+ now. Seems the Pacific didn’t get the ratings that Band of Brothers did so HBO passed on the new series so Hanks and Spielberg went to Apple.

That sounds to me like we've had a few knock backs and are having to scramble. Which is about right for this season.

fucking hell.

One of the worst habits he likely learned from Mcinnes. Trying to shut up shop with a defence incapable of doing so is a waste of time.

At this stage it’s been so quiet it’s hard to imagine any incoming players as anything more than loans to make up the numbers.
