He has potential , but should be out on loan playing in his proper position .

Yes, I know. However Alloa have training sessions 3 nights a week plus Saturday games. He may prefer to ditch the very consuming part time job so he can spend more time with his family. Would be surprised if Alloa trained three times a week , probably twice a week with a matchday and another evening doing a bit of scouting . I think he has a great working relationship with Mike Mulreaney and is very happy with the squad of players he has , and maybe fancies his chances of keeping Alloa up again and seeing what's available in 2020 .

Just wondered if it was a personality type thing , where he consistently falls out with his team mates , maybe thinks he,d better than he is , or has a bad attitude .

He has been at a lot of clubs for a relatively short period of time . Wonder what the reason is ? Seems a decent enough guy . Not a bad player , but just seems to drift from club to club .

I'm not saying it's failure , but I'm suggesting the big job might not come if Saints don't get a top six place . And the temptation of a part time job and teaching career in Northern Ireland might seem not a bad option .

I wonder if JG wasn't happy with the amount of influences that would be roundabout him at Dundee , and that he potentially could be set up as the fall guy . No doubt all will be revealed in this week's Alloa Advertiser . With regards to OK next year is sort of make or break for him . His two year break from teaching will be up and he will have a big decision to make . If he does well with us there could be a right good contract on offer , but if we aren't in the top six or don't win anything , the offer might not come , so it's then I think there's a chance of him leaving us . Goody I think is aware of this , and maybe see,s this as his opportunity .

It's also about building up relationships with agents that will enable us to get access to decent players . Would like us to keep our keeper . But if he is sold on , then that should be seen as part of the plan . That said , he shouldn't be sold for peanuts.

Pretty much how I see it , maybe even have a planned change for the last fifteen minutes just to try something different .

Just stuck £60 on Accies at 19/10 . Hoping I don't win .

Plays better , with better players roundabout him . The team that finished had a few quality players in it.

It's not about Brad Lyons being poor , it's about Ryan Flynn being better . Reminds me a bit of Lexy Richardson when he drives forward with the ball .

I have no doubt Oran has been offered his old job back . I think the Coleraine board would have done that with a view of getting business sorted at the end of the season . I also think all parties concerned are being respectful in the way they are conducting business . It's a scenario I anticipated would happen at the end of next season, when the option to go back to his old job runs out . But at this stage I think even OK is unsure whether or not to take the offer . Just my opinion .

Let's just say it's interesting . OK in a position to complete the season with us on good terms . Then go back to where he was this time last year . And Goodie available to step in to his shoes , and have a good infrastructure roundabout him at the club . Everyone a winner . Especially if we stay up .

We have to go for it , and whilst one nil will do , I would rather we were up and at them from the start . For me it's as back five , with G Mac given instructions to be in the top third every time we have a free kick , long shy , corner . I would even consider sticking him on the wing at kick off and having a high ball aimed at him .Popescu,s long throw should also be maximised . Would have Magennis , Flynn and McGinn in midfield who can all run with the ball . Up front is a hard one to call . But it might make sense to give Cody Cooke his moment and play him alongside Jackson . Would have the team playing route one football to start off with . That would give us McAllister , Lyons , The Duck , and Mullen who can come on and change things if necessary . The worse case scenario for this game is we stay in the play off place , which is where we are , so I think it makes sense to have a go early doors .

Maybe put an extra six on , who we can take off again if it suits us

Would be interesting , play five at the back to give us a bit more height , and maximize Popescu,s long throws at every opportunity , and we should cause them a few problems .

Would opt for a back four , Hodgson , McGinn ,Flynn and McAllister in midfield and Jackson and Mullen up front . Magennis , Lyons and Nazon on the bench to be used for the last quarter .

Just checked again , and it's us thats favourites to be in the bottom two . But I'm sure it was the other way round yesterday . Confusing myself with this now .

No , it's just me being thick , it's the other way round . Which makes us bookies favourites to be 10th .

More than a feeling , the bookies have got this one right .

Skybet have us at 4/7 to be in the bottom two and Accies at 6/5 , first time in a while that the bookies have us not to be in the Boston 2 .

Alex Ferguson took us over when we were in the second tier 1974 - 75 season ( but also the bottom tier ), and we had to gain a top six place to be part of the second tier in a new three league set up , which started 75 - 76 season , and Fergie took us up 1976 - 77 season .

The amount of money the club spends on wages includes coaching staff , management , admin and commercial staff , youth team costs and of course paying the first team squad their wages . With that in mind the extra money from allowing away fans in the family stand for three games would probably allow us a first team squad of say 21 instead of 18 , so with that in mind I think it makes sense to try and sell out both stands when the old firm come to town .

That scenario might allow us to be more attack minded .

I thought it was the fact that they had out back five sussed and exploited the gap between the left sided central defender and the left back . Motherwell done that too , and we moved from a back five to a back to deal with it . With that in mind , I think we should go with a back four on Saturday .
