If we could have scored in the first 25 minutes when we were completely in the ascendancy, we could have scored a barrowload. It was one of those games that the longer it went on, the more we drifted into mediocrity. Subs weren’t bad and Fitzy took his goal well. I hope Tiff recovers form for the weekend. Wee Stevie was sublime.

There’s a heap of talent this year. And we have strength in reserve. It’s up to McCall now. He has to use, especially the forward players properly and also game manage as he did yesterday with the introduction of Muirhead. Favouritism should not have a place. I love Banzo but he’s not worth a place nowadays. And I couldn’t believe Smith came on instead of Weston. Maybe he’s a good pro but he’s had so many chances without contributing anything. We took 3 deserved points because we defended well and were the better team, without our stars playing brilliantly. Holt motm for me but a hard fought win which augurs well.

A deserved win but not a great performance. Which is good for promotion hopes! Tiff and Milne were different players from last week. Why? Doc and Banzo produced little. I wish Doc would stop pretending to be injured. Nobody’s buying it. Dowds and Turner to start next week please. Window has a few days to go so perhaps we can dispatch Smith. Fitzy needs a kick up the bahookie.

Any intro by the late lamented brilliant inspiring under - appreciated Stuart Adamson would get the crowd and the players up for battle. If they couldn’t be inspired by Fields of Fire they may as well play Coldplay!

Could someone who was at the game please advise how the hell did we lose 3 goals to QP? And how did Tiff do when he came on?

Friday night terrestrial coverage of our league is totally disregarding the fans. They don’t give a flying F about us. And I doubt whether the home team actually benefits financially with the reduced support and hospitality. But allowing Sky to dictate is even worse. Sky are covering fewer and fewer watchable sports. Again, the fans are getting screwed over.

Scrap it and replace the announcer.

There have been positives so far. Weve won our group and played well at Killie. We now have a winnable tie. Lawless, the full backs, Holt ,McKinnon and Fitzpatrick have all looked great at times. But there’s been too much ‘same old’. Banzo and Docherty together in midfield does not work! Smith gets a game every week ffs. Theres still a lack of pace and ability to move the ball. Weston appears to provide pace and directness but he’s never going to get a game. If yesterday’s starting line up takes the field we’ll get beat at Dundee. He should be brave and play Weston, Lawless and possibly Fitzpatrick from the start. And break up the gruesome twosome in midfield.

I loved wee Stevie and wee Weston. Perhaps I’m biased. I’m wee!

Agree about Tunji but he was under absolutely no pressure. He should be given 90 minutes vs Montrose to continue confidence rehabilitation.

I thought Lawless and Weston were both excellent but we can’t play them together. Weston’s quick, eager and has an eye for goal. My God, Fitzpatrick hasn’t half grown! He looks strong but is he overweight? Dowds is an old fashioned striker. He’s ahead of Graham. Tough selection decisions for McCall. McKinnon looks better than Doc and Banzo(sorry). I hope he’s brave because that starting xi is not going to score.

A lot is resting on the 2 Rangers loanees and Fitzy and how McCall fits them into the team alongside Tiff. If they can provide the pace an creativity so sadly lacking last season, then we should have a great chance.

Tiff

He’s an important guy around the club. And if he’s fit, an asset on the pitch. But there were times that he looked like a old cart horse. I hope this was down to the pitch, chronic back pain, a heavy workload and zero support after Rudden left. A refreshed Graham could have a great season as long as he’s not used and abused.

I agree. it makes me sick to think he’s gone there at such a young age without them having to pay a decent fee. Couldn’t even tell you what he looks like. What’s the point? He’ll very probably disappear at Murray Park like most of their other youngsters. It was bad enough losing Alan Hansen after a couple of years in the 1st team. At least we got to see his unbelievable skills briefly. And he went to a proper team!

No. Bobby should leave now.

Good news. Is this confirmed?

Exactly! Lawless gave 100% while playing in an alien position. His lack of physical presence was always going to a problem at LWB but it took Archie weeks to appreciate this. Stevie never shirked this. It’s utter nonsense to question his attitude. If I was Stevie I’d have told the manager to stuff it. It was crass stupidity. I’m hoping he can unlock the penalty box door which none of our midfielders managed last season so that we have an alternative attack strategy to Tiff. Sure, he may be past his best but I’m looking forward to seeing his skills again which are way above the present incumbents.

Rangers should pay us compensation for having the liability of Alegria. He cost us any chance we had of promotion. Ive never heard of young Cameron but this thread has made me feel depressed.

We shouldn’t touch any of those 3 Dundee duds. Especially McDaid who has always been shite.

Good game. Perhaps they’re contrived and unfair but playoffs are fab.

Haha. Anything non woke please!

That’s what I remember. We had him in dark days and I was delighted to get rid. I recall he turned his back on a shot which trickled into the net.

Ohara played well against us in the 1-4 game but was then a sub. Has he a pedigree?

If we lose Tiff, he’s a possibility. Connolly at QOS? Not sure if he was on loan.
