We're without a win over 90/120 minutes against them in 30 attempts. With the exception of Celtic, which is at 37 games and stretches back to 1961, we don't have a record against any other side in Scotland that's even remotely as chronic as that. In fact, with almost everyone else, we've beaten them in the last couple of fixtures. St Johnstone were next with no wins in seven, then Rangers with six, and everyone else was much of a muchness. Anyway, that's a little peek behind the curtain as to what I do with my day off. I think they and Motherwell are the only teams we haven't beaten in the last 20 years. What an opportunity we have here to address that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I can't imagine there's any chance we'd sign Tumilty. Clearly finances are tight, restrictively so, and a (probably) non-televised Scottish Cup tie versus Motherwell won't change that a single iota. We saw last night that Adam Masson can step in at right back, albeit against very limited opposition and do okay, so any available budget would surely be spent on a striker, if there's any floating around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very definition of a bogey team. 30 winless games in a row is just ridiculous, however I very much expect it to be 31 come Saturday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 To turn that around, who's the longest we're unbeaten against? East Fife and Montrose were two we lost in our last spell in League 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the suggestion that Livingston were our bogey team a while back, but that sequence only seemed to last eight games, which I'm surprised at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Fife and Montrose were two we lost in our last spell in League 1. Unfortunately, we have no record which can turn around that honking statistic versus Inverness. Our top three in terms of unbeaten sequences are 8- Hamilton, 7 - Forfar and 5 - Falkirk We're unbeaten in four against Airdrie.

ComeOnYouRaith Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Last night I thought Gullan showed everything he is capable of being but doesn’t show nearly often enough. He showed a great amount of pace, ability to run in behind, ability to finish with a couple of great goals including the one that was ruled out. He looked dangerous and competent leading the line. Was that because of the level of opposition? Probably. But if he could just replicate that second half performance more regularly it would go part of the way to solving some of our problems up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nice refreshing change having abit of honest from an opposing manager who summed the game up perfectly instead of the usual one sided view from championship managers , Defo should have been a penalty award for each team but the game was full of poor refereeing decisions good luck to the Rose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty succinct viewpoint, and I’d agree. Let’s do a little juggling/maths. At LB we have Ngwenya/Dick/Young to chose from, although there is a slight chance Young goes back to Elgin, but that seems unlikely as Elgin already got a replacement LB from Aberdeen. At RB we have Millen/Brown/Masson to chose from. At CB we have Nolan/Lang/Dick/Masson and probably Brown and Millen. I just don’t see us spending for a CB right now, and I don’t see a loan for a Masson now, so sign the lad. Midfield, with McGill’s arrival and Arnott’s departure, we’ll not do any more. Attackers, we’re heavier on players preferring the left than the right, but plenty of wide players. Our current people playing the 9 are all more 10’s or false 9’s…the only player we have that is more a 9 is Little John, and he hasn’t shown what we need. I can see us looking for a real 9. If we’re offered a RW, we might take it to give Connolly some more rest later in games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Think we have to move people on before bringing people in. Frederiksen or McBride would be my choice to let go and free up a wage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Big John seems out of favour again after cove, if that is how Murray feels time to try and cut our loses with him, no point him sitting on the bench getting zero game time, Murray at least gives Mcbride some game time even as a late sub Edited January 25, 2023 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
