  1. Thought overall we looked much more like a team. Have liked O’Donnell much more at RCB but honestly thought he looked quite decent at RWB in the second half when defending wasn’t really a thing we had to do. (Although seemingly everything time there’s a question asked of our defence we crumble and someone inexplicably has to make a calamity of errors anyway.) SODs got forward well a couple of times and provided an option. Gent looked class against Alloa and the ball in that went out for a throw was great, however I thought he was honestly really poor defensively again and the St Johnstone right hand side got passed him way too easily, leaving McGinn to try and mop up. McGinn looked his usual 7/10 and thought he was generally excellent overall, Butcher is looking better with more minutes but it was almost too causal at times, and Mugabi managed to not piss a game away so that’ll do. Halliday and Davor were largely fine? Composed and tidy enough and ticked things along fairly well without anything really remarkable. Paton had great wee spells and thought some of his runs and passes were great but christ he should have had a double today. Got into great positions and it was such a lovely ball from Nicholson for that last chance and he somehow didn’t test the keeper in either occasion. Was interesting seeing him walk over at the end with hands up and gesturing “1,” he knows he should’ve done miles better. Spittal continues to be our only consistent actual threat, and an injury to him would have me fearing the absolute worst but even, like during the Alloa game, where he puts in a series of pish deliveries from set pieces or a couple of slack through balls, he always seems capable of creating something, and I really do hope he stays. Another very welcome goal for Bair but we seriously need some forward reinforcements quickly. Nicholson looked like he had something to offer coming on but it’s clear he’s needing a while to get anywhere near up to speed. Would still hope for 2 forwards and a CB, especially is Casey is still a bit further away. Definitely a bit more hope after today with our threadbare squad but we need some help urgently. Hopefully get some ITKMarv input soon or the bold “Tommo,” sniffing about Uppercrisy, Tim Hortons or the car park for the latest scoops, but we need a couple quality additions.
  2. Aye from being at both games? We stuck with the 532/352 for the entire duration. In Elgin we started with Blaney, Mugabi and O’Donnell as the back 3 with Ross on the right and Wilson on the left. QotS we had Lamie, Mugabi and McGinn in the middle, with O’Donnell on the right and Souare on the left. The midfield remained unchanged, Spittal on the left, Slattery on the right with Miller sitting a bit deeper in the role Goss played in for the last few months of the season. Obika up top with either Wilkinson or Ferrie. On the Lamie/Mugabi stuff, I thought they were genuinely as bad as each other and were beyond woeful. Despite the rest of the backline not having the best of games? They were made to look far worse by receiving horrid passes from the calamity couple, and playing out from the back with them looked like it put the the entire team on edge. Normally very calm about things but genuinely never want to see either of them play for us again. Beyond frustrating
  3. I can understand the panic around the centre half situation, especially with Ojala going. Sure from a numbers standpoint, but also just because in the grand scheme of things, Sol, Lamie and Mugabi are… fine?…ish? Far from a mad desperate panic though. Think the priority still very much has to be on a striker since if Kev gets injured, enjoys his customary suspension or just goes through an expected half-arsed shite spell, we are relying on Shields or Efford to muddle through games and that will be woeful. overall the squad still needs a dedicated #9, a centre half in the Aldred mould, (or you know, just like a good one?… or two, no biggie) and preferably a CDM in the Ally Gorrin mould. Sure hope we can still do some business after the window SLAMS SHUT but all in all, meh
  4. Happy that Crawford is away. Realistically was the last pick in our midfield and was just clearly not good enough for this level. Definitely a decent championship level player incapable of making the jump
  5. As soon as I read it I thought about Jordan Roberts, with a tepid shrug. Then became completely and maddeningly overexcited about the prospect that this was a not-so-veiled indicator that there’s still a chance that Operation “Launch Ricki Lamie And Robbie Crawford Into The Sun,” is still feasible.
  6. Genuinely feel like if Maguire was an English kid signed from Northampton he’d have been punted by now. Totally understand it’s very early season but feel like he’s so below what we need. Even Donnelly with taped knees and zero fitness has played much better so far. Also agree with the shouts on Dear Toby. Both games he’s played he’s looked incredibly off it whereas last season when he played he seemed largely *ok* Definitely hoping for 2 centre backs, 2 centre mids and someone to help take some of the pressure of Van Veen, feel like we’re v over reliant on him “making things happen” for us
  7. Aye, got all the way through, put in my payment details on a couple different cards and all came back with error, please contact customer support. Just glad I’ve got one reserved though!
  8. Been trying since ticket #21, and kept getting knocked back with errors. Last time I tried was ticket #347 before sorting one out with the club directly. Unsurprisingly going quick
  9. Grimshaw now moved to #23 and O’Donnell takes #2. Johnston gone from #27 to #24 as Devine moves from #24 to #25
  10. How dare anyone question the great ITKMarv? utterly shameful. Burrows must condemn this etc
  11. More #NumberPolis updates. Morrison moves from 23 to 31 and Lawless from 14 to 11
  12. Aye so McGinley has been moved to *something* with Mugabi taking 5. Maguire now 6, Cornelius 18. Shields listed on the site now as 29 and Amaluzor listed as 17. Love a bit ae Number Polis
