    Hope the team doesn't suffer a hangover from Sunday. JG's first job is to see that whoever he puts on the pitch is fired up and ready for the fight.

    Given the number of games coming up in the next few weeks, he also needs to be prepared to use ALL the players at his disposal.

    After Sunday it's clear that Erhahon needs a break from the action, and that Brophy needs support up front. If MacPherson is not available, that gives JG a chance to try Flynn and maybe Foley back in midfield. We've not seen enough of Flynn since his injury to know whether he is the same player he was, maybe now is the time to find out.  Durmus has been inconsistent this season, but recently he's shown an improvement when he's come on in games, so I'd start him and keep Connolly as a sub for later in  the game. Also, try Obika and Brophy together.

    This pretty much sums up everything I’ve been saying. We need experience in the middle, Erahon needs a break from action to re-group. 
    Mason shouldnt be in the starting 11, Durmus for me. And 2 up top. 
     

    just a pity we didn’t do this Sunday....

    I see he mentions our punishment and the ‘double standards’. A few commentators and pundits have made this point, hopefully only strengthens the case we have to go in our favour. Here’s hoping anyway, but the SPFL are a bit maverick to say the least, so watching with interest. 
     

    As for celtics conduct - he and Andy Walker are right, ludicrous behaviour. 

  3. Mason has a very poor game against Killie. I’ve not been overly impressed other than the cup game against you know who, where he was man marking. But having been asked to play up and down then line on Saturday past, he just didn’t look great and wasn’t tight enough to his man on several occasions, including the goal. 
     

    see how he gets on over the next few weeks, could turn out to be another Dummet who didn’t start well.

    Or who might be getting moved on......

    Morias?

    Foley?

    Flynn?

    any others who  may be out of contract in summer or haven't featured much

    The Foley situation is interesting. Was a stand out for us last season, this year, when had the chance hasn’t looked great. 
    I’d like to see Flynn get a chance to fight for a position. 
    happy to let junior go. 
     

    In truth - if all left, I wish them well but wouldn’t be upset.

    It appears not to matter how well we play- and recent performances have slightly improved- but until we acquire a goal scorer we are in grave danger of demotion again. I think JG should release those failing up front and replace with a centre forward. Please, no rejects from the English lower leagues though. For tomorrow, this is a game we must win, and Motherwell are not playing well so we ought to do it.

    Other than Obika (admittedly not enough) I agree - the rest aren’t scoring enough. 


    I think McAlister and Obika link up well.... Livi and Morton for example. But agree - overall, our performance in the final 3rd is the reason we are where we are. 
     

    look ok as a defensive unit and the team reminds me of a Gus era squad, would be nice to have the right additions in the window to sort this and propel us forward - but easier said than done.

    It’s my feelings entirely - I said this earlier in this thread. Regardless of who pulled the head plug on games, other clubs had games cancelled for players breaching Covid rules. Needs to be an equal punishment. 
     

    Another thing on this article I found strange - was not only are hibs pinching our players - but also our kit man?

  7. Big game. I hope our players are up for it following the awarded points and use it as the extra motivation to go grab 3 points. We are more than capable of doing so - just need to be more clinical in front of goal. Erwins miss on Saturday epitomised our season. 
     

    A chance for us to climb table if other results go our way!
