Fair to say that wasnt a vintage performance, but, on the back of an away EL game, the most important thing is the 3 points.
Mission accomplished and up the road.
1.) 29 Sep 2024 14:13:41
Agree, the 3 points are important. However this is a typical performace, hanging onto a 1 goal lead for 90 plus minutes. Sooner or later the opposition will score and take points off us.
2.) 29 Sep 2024 14:30:36
agree athole although defensively we seemed to be okay. take that off back of a tiring away performance in Europe.
Azul we scored in 34th minute so we weren't hanging on for 90 minutes. Hibs were poor as well and other than penalty and Gayle header they created nothing really of note. they punt ball into box and throw long to try and create mayhem and feed off scraps; we defended really well against that. if that is the level of opponent then I think they could play all day and not score. we won't, and haven't played that badly all the time so it isn't typical. if we do play that badly at times it could be said to be the sign of a good team to come away with 3 points.

Thoughts on today's game. Lots of positives.
1. Back home.
2. Souttar continues to grow into a much improved player in his favoured position.
3. Jefte getting better game by game.
4. Barron Stuart McCall mark 2 in the making.
5. Tom Lawrence showing much improved fitness now.
6. Dessers 2 goals.
7. Bajrami looks good
8. Good to see Kasa in at RB.
9. MacCausland looked lively short time he was on.
10. Dio looked re-energised when he came on.
11. 3 goals.
12. Clean sheet.
Less Positive
1. Tav. Mistakes that will cost us against better teams.
2. Still not convinced by Propper.
3. Iganame badly needs a goal to settle him down.
4. Butland's distribution.
1.) 21 Sep 2024 22:49:32
Agree with everything you say except less pos Nr4.
This guy is classy in all aspects, so I don't think he needs to settle. His goals will come.
2.) 22 Sep 2024 00:24:11
dont think there was much negatives considering still a team in progress. Tav got a standing ovation when he left the park.
3.) 22 Sep 2024 11:52:06
In my industry, it is called "work in progress". If it looks good, just leave it alone. It is too complex for supporters to pull one or two pieces out of the jigsaw puzzle that will make it improve. There's energy and life all of a sudden when at the end of last season there was not much of that going around. The plan might be to do well in Europe, do well in the League or possibly win the League if that is possible and sell one or two of these guys at the end of the season. Keep the manager and the team hungry.
03 Sep 2024 13:31:11
Pauly 100% correct.
Absolute cretins that think shouting abuse at young guys is going to make them play better.
The moron shouting at tav should do us all a favour and slither back to his pit.
Anyone condoning the behaviour is a moron too.
Im embarrassed to be associated with these scumbags.
1.) 03 Sep 2024 14:11:02
Agree athole I can imagine what the boy We signed from feyenoord was thinking probably what have I got myself into here.
2.) 03 Sep 2024 14:44:51
Absolutely agree 100%, there is zero excuse for that behaviour and these muppets are an embarrassment to the club!
3.) 03 Sep 2024 15:07:55
Exactly Jaws, who wants to come play for us if they have to face that shyte after every loss or draw, after every bad touch etc.
4.) 03 Sep 2024 15:23:20
Winners would want to come!
5.) 03 Sep 2024 15:55:44
How many winners have came so far?
6.) 03 Sep 2024 16:53:43
That's the problem with recruitment Alloa!
7.) 03 Sep 2024 17:19:50
Shouting criticism and abuse at players doesn’t help club, manager and especially player. A player is very likely to respond better if he is encouraged or has his confidence built, than than the opposite, ridiculing and destroying his confidence. This applies to very experienced and newcomers alike.
The Manager should spend the week boasting confidence by encouraging his players and fans doing opposite doesn’t help.
01 Sep 2024 17:36:54
I don't want 2nd best, but we need to start this re-build somewhere and like it or not, we're on the 1st rung of the ladder in getting back to challenging them.
If we keep sacking / hiring managers, we will never get off that 1st rung. I have no defence for that mince today. No one with pass marks but we have to suck it up for long term progress.
I don't understand why Tav is in the team any more than anyone else can. Is PC the man to win us trophies? I don't know, but he's the man in place just now to help implement our recovery strategy.
1.) 01 Sep 2024 18:45:59
I thought we would do OK today. After watching that they're so far ahead of us it's scary. Look fitter, move the ball so quick. They have pace. 3 touches and they're at our box from their goal. We have 20 touches and it's back at Butland.
2.) 01 Sep 2024 18:46:01
I don’t think he is, certainly not in the next 18/ 24 month.
We just need to see basic improvements in performance which we’re not currently seeing.
I’m not even worried about this season, my only worry is how do we stop 10 in a row with our current strategy (and I use that term loosely as I don’t think we have one)
3.) 01 Sep 2024 18:46:27
Good post mate.
4.) 01 Sep 2024 18:54:03
Mate don’t disagree but after 55 or after 2012
When did the rebuild start when does it end why 2024 are we still talking about rebuilds and had the most expensive wage bill in Scotland
I’m bored we’re crap and that’s where we are just now let’s just get on with it.
5.) 01 Sep 2024 18:59:18
I agree with that but we will see if majority of fans are as patient.

Just watched PCs press conf. I'll tell you what, we've got the right man to steer us through this reset and refocus era.
He's driven and knows what we need.
For the first time i feel like we have a strategy and a direction of travel. Its ok having a plan but if you don't have a strategy, it means hee haw.
Also watched clips of the new Albanian boy. Very good close control and he looks strong. Lots of clips of people trying to bully him off the ball and he outmuscled them.
Lets assess where we are come end of season. No prizes handed out tomorrow.
Trust the strategy.
1.) 31 Aug 2024 23:31:37
Good post Athole.
14 Sep 2024 20:18:54
Gents,
I don't have a knowledge of these guys. I've done a quick search of Halsted and he appears to have a personal wealth of over 1 billion - pinch of salt applied.
Of the guys who know of these things- what are the pros and cons of Halsted making a move?
31 Aug 2024 16:19:02
This just doesn't seem to be landing with some people re Hagi.
It's not just his wages, his previous club is due upwards of 1mil if he reaches the threshold.
30 Aug 2024 16:02:19
Good post laudruphagi.
24 Aug 2024 11:52:47
RFC what's the point in that question to John? Get a grip man.
Club were damned for not sharing enough info now they're damned for sharing too much about the transfer policy.

We appreciate any snippets.

Rosevale - why is that strange?

MPH ???.
29 Sep 2024 17:21:10
Holeinone - love barron. Endless energy and bite. Plays incisive passes into front players (although not many today to be honest) . Constantly barking instructors to other players. Strong leader on the park.
22 Sep 2024 21:30:23
Sunshine you've hit the nail on the head.
In addition, other players look to their capt in times of adversity. If his arse has collapsed, what does that do to them?
Great servant. Still got something to offer as a squad player but if we want to get the upper hand back in O.F. games, he's not your man.
