    McBeth as a CB has had a remarkably transformative effect in turning our defence (in terms of goals conceded per goal) from one of the worse to one of the best (if not the best considering only games with McBeth ar CB).

    Meanwhile, for whatever reason, the games where McBeth was played as defensive centre mid coinciced with a terrible run where we conceding something like 3+ a game over a period.

    I know much of the latter may have been due to 1) Neilson not being a particularly good CB/effective alongside Muirhead (O'reilly not being available) and 2) McBeth having to adapt to a huge jump in standard. However, it seems to big a risk to move him out of defence and in to midfield for me.

    Have to think if we don’t concede, we will win. BBG due a goal!

    Fitzy was having a mare - he owes us a performance at Firhill.  He doesn't like that surface, and neither do I.  Bringing Dan on was parking the bus and settling for 2-2.  I think that was the right thing to do.  If everyone performs to potential we should win at Firhill, as we saw not so long ago.

    We got a wee bit lucky at Firhill before we took the lead, however, I think we have enough to beat them. 
    Fair play to Airdrie through, certainly put the effort in try to play football. Manager comes across well too.

    O’Reilly got 20 mins last week. Doolan will maybe give him 30+ tomorrow. Probably the same starting 11 depending on how bad Stanway’s injury was. Then it’s likely to be Alston, although I would prefer McKenzie a shot in midfield for a change.

    Think a lot will depend on tonight’s result. There’s a balance between giving players a rest & losing momentum though. Hopefully we can do both and go into playoffs with as many points and fit players as possible!

    Dowds cannot play for anyone else this season. That includes the playoffs. I don't know why people keep bringing this up?

    Maybe it has become a WAT trope and I keep getting whooshed haha.

    He’s already played for us this season has he not? 
    Genuinely don’t know the rules, but don’t think it’s a stupid question. I’m sure clubs have had to extend loans (maybe us, rings a vague bell) to enable players to play in play offs.

    Anyway, please don’t get your knickers in a twist, just wondering…

  5. What’s the matter with Robinson?

    If we can confirm playoffs on Saturday, we need to focus on the playofffs - forget final games (obviously try to win them, but don’t risk anyone) and see what happens. Our current starting XI should match any in the league, but after that we’ve no depth.

  6. Watch the highlights, still not sure what happened with the penalty. Looked like nothing and a massive overreaction - jumped up & forward, reckon the ref got it way wrong. We should’ve scored a couple more, but they also hit the post twice, so draw seems about right.
