Providing that Cheesy is fit, think the line up would be - Kello Naismith McGregor Cheesy Kelly Newton Campbell McGinn Grainger Gowser Thompson

Well considering that on Wednesday morning they still didn't know if his foot was broken, you'd imagine the bruising and pain would've been pretty severe. Not something that would heal in 3 days anyway.

Reckon that could be the final straw for Harkins. I myself think Gowser offers more but I'm concerned that DL has chucked him in and risks injuring him. Would've preferred we waited for McGowan to be 100% fit before putting him back in. After all, Harkins did ok on Tuesday!

Someone put a link up for the Hibs v St. Mirren game on September 21st to listen to the full game on tune in radio. Does anyone know of somewhere to listen/watch the full game today?

Not according to an article in the Herald on Saturday. Apparently Newcastle feel he is gaining invaluable experience with us and are keen for him to remain until the end of the season. The same article also said that talks to keep a hold of Kello had so far been unsuccessful.

I reckon Kello will sign until at least end of the season. If rumours are to be believed that Newcastle are sending Adam Campbell up here I reckon that we are more than likely to see Newton remain until the end of the season. McLean and McGowan I think we might struggle to hold on to, it'd be very nice if we could however! I reckon Dilo and Kelly will sign on for another 2/3 seasons. Darren McGregor will surely repay our loyalty by signing again, perhaps on a 2 year deal? As for Thommo and Teale I reckon another year each (I'm sure there's that option in both contracts?)

Same team that started today I think! Thought Naismith looked very good!

According to the OS the match is all ticket.

Mug!

Personally I'd go with : - Kello Naismith, McGregor, Mair, Kelly Newton Teale Mclean McGinn McGowan Thompson Don't think we should make to many changes. Over the last 4/5 games Van Zanten has been very suspect with his positioning and usually has to be replaced. Naismith is a young lad, I'd give him a chance over Caprice as Jake hasn't done much to impress. Tempted to say bring Grainger in for Kelly but should we? Kelly overall has done very well and he's young so we should expect the odd shakey performance. I'd stick with him and let him have a chance to redeem himself. Goodwin was very poor at Tanadice and if Teale is fit for Saturday I'd drop him over Newton and move Newton into a holding role. I think DL might be tempted to bring Harkins in but I'm not convinced it'd be worth dropping McGinn or McLean for him.

Did McGregor not get a rating?

I was sat next to a few of the guys shouting at him. After Utd scored the third they almost scored a fourth within a minute. Few of them stood up and shouted asking why it hadn't been changed. They then got the 3 subs ready. Think it was more a case of Tommy was the only member of the management team out on the touchline therefore the questions/abuse got directed at him but the abuse wasn't necessarily about him.

A ban for 6 yellows doesn't kick in for 14 days so it would be a few weeks after collecting his next yellow before he misses a game I believe?

I saw it this morning as well, however I'm not convinced it's true. He was attracting interest from much bigger clubs not that long ago so you have to question what went wrong. I think without a doubt Cornell will be the replacement until Dilo is fit again.

Really enjoyed the game yesterday. Something which is happening on a consistent basis now is Dilo's excellent distribution! Each time he kicked the ball out, it landed near enough right on Thommos head! Playing with one up front, this makes Thompsons' job a whole lot easier instead of chasing after a wayward goal kick! Thought everyone played their part yesterday, it's great to hear the fans back in good spirits!

Think it's pretty straight forward for Danny - don't change things! Everyone clicked last night, Mair looked solid and Kelly did very well so therefore surely both deserve to retain their place. McGowan was played in his more advanced role and thrived on it! I just hope if McAusland is fit he doesn't throw him straight back in and move Goody back into CB again.

No doubt that last night was the best performance of the season. Each player looked hungry and motivated. Jim Goodwin looked ten times better in midfield and Sean Kelly made N encouraging competitive debut! That, coupled with the fans in good spoilers and in full voice made the night a very enjoyable one! Perhaps a stand out bit was a guy behind me shouted 'Goodwin, yer sh*te, you shouldnae even be playing', only to be swiftly put in his place by a boy of no more than 11 who told him 'If you think we're sh*te, go home then' much to the amusement of people round about!

Who's out of position?

4-1-2-2-1 GK - Dilo RB - Vanzy CB - McGregor CB - Mair LB - Yaqub CDM - Newton LM - McGinn RM - Teale CAM - McGowan CAM - McLean ST - Thompson

What's with the bold on BORED?

I think the board will stick with DL until the hearts game, if we fail to take something from that then I think it'll be goodbye. I'd like Kenny Shiels, although I'm not sure it will be him.

Danny Grainger Red!

Hope Dilo grabs this opportunity!

Yep, fair enough! Maybe just needs a goal to get going? Off topic a bit, DL should have 2 players practising free kicks in training. For me Grainger and Teale should be given the FK duties. Granted, Graingers have been poor so far but he certainly has the ability. Even if they scored 2/3 in a season it could make all the difference.
