For Your Pies Only

We are definitely a little short on depth and I get where you are coming from there but Goss is not a loss. A passenger for most of his time here until he realised he should start playing a bit in the last few games of the season to try and get a move. There's a reason he's no signed for anyone else yet IMO. Also, I don't think many in our support expect Miller to perform in every game but he's been consistently good to excellent when he's played so far. Coupled with Slattery playing well and looking motivated, and Spittal who has also been consistently great for us, I think our midfield is actually stronger this season.

Having seen a fair bit of Luton' s season last year, it's clear Edwards has a very different approach and doesn't value Campbell. Big drop off in game time after he took over. It seems to be a playing style thing rather than personal. The mad thing to me is that a pressing midfielder, a Kante-type disruptor, is what they have been crying out for in the first two games. They are not going to have the chance to play a possession game against EPL opposition with their resources. Campbell is superbly suited to that pressing role, but instead he'd rather have Tahith Chong and Barkley stroll about ball watching it would seem. I'm obviously biased but it's a weird one as an outsider looking in.

Not keen on Clark at all. I'm more curious about the Tierney situation tbh - I'd say there's an argument for recalling him from loan, either to play as a second striker - wee man / big man etc - or as a 10 in a midfield four, if getting another (decent, non-injury prone) striker in proves to be an issue.

Quintuple posting in a day old match thread? Dearie me, someone's rattled

Paton took his chance today and played with real confidence. He really changed things when he came on. For Efford, the exact opposite - he did *not* take the chance he was given. It really feels as though his selection today was a "prove me wrong" moment from SK's point of view and being hooked at half time tells its own story. I don't expect to see him in claret and amber again. The only thing that might save him is our laughable injury list but it does feel like getting him out the door so another striker can be brought in would be best for all parties at this point.

Good comeback, real cutting

Did Kettlewell kill your dug or something? Absolute wee man behaviour after you -checks notes- won a game of football. Give it a rest man.

Killie will be organised, tough to break down and will try to hit on the counter with pace. McInnes has also recruited well. But they aren't miles ahead of us, and it's certainly not a given they'll pump us next weekend. Both of the old firm put in lazy, flat performances against them and they failed to score against a porous Hearts defence that gifted them plenty of opportunities. Likewise we're not suddenly terrible because of a poor performance in the cup. We are two (2) games into a league season and on 4 points. Let's maybe give it a few more games before we start the ritual gnashing of teeth eh

I see the old wireless is still the main form of entertainment in Paisley, how quaint

It's interesting how well O'Hara has done in Paisley - definitely their standout player last season. He always had potential and worked hard but it never seemed to fall in to place when he was here. I expect he'll have a strong game on Saturday.

There's no need for personal attacks and the article itself is an absolute rid neck. Sam North however has plenty of previous about posting content/video of folk when they've directly asked him not too - one of them have commented directly in this thread. Which is wido behaviour on his part and something he should take responsibility for. So really what it all boil down to is fuds getting mad at other fuds on the internet. And I don't have the time or the patience for that kind of sh*te. Any chance of some chat about the actual football today? I'll guarantee* a safe bet on 12+ yellow cards

Hahahahahaha yaldi

I haven't actually listened to his comments post-match, was more based on his frequent media interviews and conduct as a player and his approach as a pundit / commentator since. P.S. please don't doxx me out to Amy Macdonald

I don't know enough about his coaching record or credentials to comment on his skills in that area - could be a great coach for all I know. But he doesn't seem like he has the personality best suited for this kind of position tbh. While tough love is sometimes needed, 'relentless negativity' doesn't seem like an ideal vibe for a youth setup. Hopefully he has at least worked on his hair-trigger temper from his playing days...
