Surely Otoo is a natural centre back?

Any chance the Director of Football/Sporting Director will be present and willing to answer questions as well?

Hope the undersoil heating has been on and stays on for Saturday as well!

If it fell to him 1 on 1 yes,  but it felt to me much more like an organisation error which isn't something he'd help with, only bene would do that,   The cross fingers and hope he doesn't get injured approach seems more mental by the day and yet over a year after his importance was obvious that continues to be our only plan and we are suffering as a result.

More thinking that the original ball is headed back where it came from.

I think Breen is also a big miss. Especially in the air. That second Rovers goal feels like the type of goal he’d help prevent.

And all the hangers on who are STILL at the club.

Eh? Who are they?

That’s tremendous! 👏🏻 

If we can do what we haven’t been doing recently i.e. take our chances and not concede a soft goal or 2 we should have a good chance.

Defensively I’d be keen to get Corrie into the back 3 with Fisher and Otoo. I think it makes us better defensively and also frees up Hamilton to play in the middle. 

Did he? And Sharp was faultless? Chalmers had a very good game, my only criticism is that he should have hit a few when he got into good positions. Did you see where he was taking the ball at times tonite under pressure? It’s pretty boring and predictable that you trot this out.

Moffat off after the goal was bizzare when chalmers was miles off it. He’s been poor for a few games now 

Your Chalmers comment is laughable.

Can only imagine what the crowd would have been at 3pm on a Saturday.  If we get 7,500 plus on a Friday we have done very well.

And Hartson moaning about the unfairness of the financial disparity between Celtic and the ‘big’ clubs 😂🤣

Quite a bit of activity this week. Heavy machinery on site and a large area to the bottom of the site looks like it is fenced off for work. Good to see some progress 🤞🏻

Think McCann played the 90 minutes largely because of his defensive ability. We needed him to defend corners and balls into the box.

Again fair points and I wasn’t knocking the Pars community involvement. Probably comes down to what we have budgeted for in the Cups?

That’s a great win. 3 points in this league is massive. Wasn’t pretty at times but other than the goals we had a stonewall penalty, big chance for Hamilton after the corner hit the post, 2 Edwards shots saved and a few half chances. We clearly lack height hence the Morton chances but without Breen and Bene that’s always likely. Big performances from Fisher, Edwards, Hamilton and Allan. Hamilton for me was the MoM by an absolute mile even though Moffat scored twice.

First win at Morton in 12 visits? I’ll take any win there. Great spirit.

Fair points. Just think it’s a great chance for both Clubs to give back to the community in a meaningful way rather than just pay lip service as some Clubs often do. Especially as it’s close to Christmas etc. Also we play them 6 times a season 🤦‍♂️

I’d hope the Clubs agree something like £10/£1 and get a massive crowd. More likely £15 or something like that. Shame Raith have to agree - not sure how being a community club aligns with charging £24 for a second tier game.

I think it is a one year extension to 2025 but billed as two years as covers this season and next. Either way great business. Now Josh!

I stand corrected. COWS interview with JM references 2026 and 2 and a half years. 👍🏻

Must have been about 300/400 empty seats in the NW yesterday. Strange given it’s sold out pretty much.

Anything over £20 at this level is far too much.

That sounds concerning unless it's for a review of how the op went.

He's said that in the past, even referencing his own injuries where he took a risk as he felt fine but it set him back or caused another injury. 

I think he is referring to Andrew Tod seeing a specialist about his calf rather than Matty Tood?

Four games into the season and we have 1 available striker in McCann. And a lot of people think he’s better wide.

You can look at our recruitment etc in a number of ways but to end up in such a position is pretty poor.

Despite our small squad JM has a few tough selection calls to make. Does Breen come back in for Otoo, Does Otoo move into midfield and if so who drops out? Does Summers come in or do we stick with MO’H.

I’d guess Breen comes back in with Otoo in midfield in place of Allan or Hamilton and MO’H starting.

That said I forgot we have McCann to get back in and he has to start for me.
