Tony Watt Guaranteed to get something (goal, assist) as the usual with former players

Normally agree - but he was fucking gash at Fir Park and was hooked after an hour, so.....

Parkhead aside, this will be the first game I'm missing this season - wandering about some mountains feels like a better deal at the moment. I would love to think we can get a point here but we are giving away so many soft goals, it's hard to see it.

A loss here and it will be time for the next in a decades-long occasional series of Motherwell Looking Doomed Before Christmas (which is traditionally followed by Motherwell Finish Seventh).

Taking a bunch of mates up Lochnagar - nice day out and a good Munro for beginners.

Jack and Jill thread for this nonsense.

Contra flow at the roundabout at Dunblane for anyone driving, probably only a few minutes delay but just to be aware.

The Kinross route is faster, with no static speed cameras, for fans to consider.

I'd like to see Graham and Birighitti back in for this one. Virtually every goal we're losing just now is coming from a cross to the left centre back area so Graham should be a non brainer. Birighitti flogged a few against Alkmaar and apparently didn't look too clever against Hearts (dunno cos I was too shell shocked to watch that one) but he looked half decent in his other appearances. His pal, by contrast, has looked shaky as f**k in every aspect of his game (positioning, handling, shot stopping, kicking) and has also chucked in hundreds of goals. On balance, I'm thinking Birighitti is the one eyed man in the country of United keepers just now.

That aside, I'd like to see Fletcher back in with someone alongside him. Not fussed whether that's Watt, Middleton or Anaku. I've still got faith in Sibbald ideally alongside Levitt rather than Djoum (who looks miles away from being fit yet).

Hammell mentioned changing tactics after the Hibs game if we keep conceding goals and I think this could be the game we see it perhaps given the injury issues up top. 

Or we limp through the next 4 games before the WC break and regroup.

Either or, 1-1.

We will finish just behind Motherwell in terms of goals, chances created, shots on target and tackles won but we will have eleventy hundred and sixty twelve percent possession and that's a statistical win which is all that matters imo.
