Euan Murray might be the complicated one as we would've been waiting for him to arrange his release.
Quite excited to see who the new signing is for today.
Hartlepool signed another centre half today and I'm assuming they were waiting for him to replace Murray also fitting in with "complicated" comments.

I'm baffled. How do I pay for this PPV? What on earth are cast credits?
You can buy them or apparently earn them by watching adverts. I was cheap enough to watch 25 adverts and hand over personal details to save two quid.
Stream hasn't appeared yet though so you haven't missed anything.
Edit - just appeared now

We are better than expected now.
Looked better since McGowan went to right back and Steven has got closer to may

Not sure why I paid to watch this on PPV. It’s exactly what I expected it to be.
Dunfermline commentators reckon our line-up is almost exactly the same line-up that we ended the league season with btw.
Your stream jumpy or just mine?
Not a great start. Struggled with that big Jamie McCart type diagonal.

Ferguson at right back. Is 2 his squad number? Maybe MacLean sees him playing there?

6/4 for Dunfermline tonight seeks generous given the state of our squad with injuries. Only one striker and no fit right backs.

Thats an outrageously lazy piece of fielding

Bit of a worry that MacLean has said he's not really spoken to players yet? Although good to hear him talking about taking tough decisions though.

Word for McGowan too. Not sure he is a long term solution in the middle, but thought he was excellent today.

Not a great performance the first 60 minutes but really should have killed the game off once killie started to open up. Desperately need to be better in the last third next season. Can only assume that they didn't feel like risking Kane on plastic; it was quite the cameo from Rudden. Wright is so vital to this side carrying any sort of threat and its been a blessing we've not being missing him for any period this season.

Need Ballantyne and MacPherson involved more and need to get players closer to May. I'd hook Carey tbh.

Carey gives the ball away too cheaply too often. Such a frustrating player.
Wright's been good on the other side and McGowans been tidy too.

Gets players playing in their best positions in fairness to MacLean. Carey and Wotherspoon in there is just a bit meh.
Aye, my thoughts was at least it gets three centre midfielders in there and Carey back out wide.
Some pressure on him though!

Someone better at working this out than me can maybe tell me, but if we win this one is there much, if any, path to us still finishing bottom two? Particularly with reference to the fact that Killie’s remaining games are against United and County?
A win puts us on 39, Killie would remain on 34 with two to play. County would be six behind on 33 with three games remaining (including Saturday’s) and United would be eight behind with three to play.
Even if we lost the last two United would need three wins to get past us. Killie would need two wins, County would need to win one of their other two games aside from our head to head next midweek.
United and Killie can’t both get what they need, so 12th would be out of the question for us. For Killie to get by us in this situation they’d have to beat County.
This a long way of saying we need a huge performance on Saturday. If we win at Killie and County don’t win at Fir Park it’s over.
If we win, we are guaranteed not to finish bottom regardless of County's and United's results. If we win and County and United lose, we will guaranteed safety due to Killie and County having to meet.
Edit to add - A win coupled with anything but a Ross County win would also see us guaranteed to be in the division next season.

No McPherson fan but at least he tries to contribute. Guys like Murphy get away contributing next to nothing. What an absolute waste of a wage.
We were good during for the first half but need to kill games in situations like that. Big problem today is the lack of depth. Bair, Rudden and McLennan - just nowhere good enough to carry a threat at this level.
Thought MacLean should have given it 10-15 minutes with Rudden in the 4-4-2 but it descended into an all too similar shambles when chasing the game.
Kane looked more keen to but his body on the line after 18 months out than Bair did.

Seems to follow on from Careys, admittedly more guarded, comments last week. Clear the players themselves were enjoying the style of play under Davidson as much as the fans.
Regarding the signings under Davidson, how many players have met or exceeded expectations. Phillips is the only one that's exceeded and maybe Melemed Hallberg, Clark and Considine at a push. There's a lot of experienced and therefore probably expensive signings in there that have been fine but no more. Notably again this season that the players sweeping up the POTYs are pre-Davidson arrivals.
Last season's recruitment was horrendous. Jacob Butterfield correcting his manager about him being a box to box midfielder in the week he arrived was a particular highlight.

A bit more composure the last 10 minutes and it ends up being a lot more comfortable.
Good to see Maclean talking about how we could have done better in transition today. Refreshing to hear some post match comments that actually reflect what you've seen.

An absolute god send in the winter. Quick defrost then out before the scalding.

Second game in a row we looked better against 11 than 10. A bit more composure the last 10 minutes and it ends up being a lot more comfortable. That said, undoubtedly deserved to win - dominated from about 15 minutes in after a nervy opening. Having a settled central midfield makes such a difference.
Great skill but can't believe Carey went himself near the end

Expect us to be the force in Scotland after this

He'd been planned to be at that game for quite a while. Was quite a while ago it was mentioned he was coming to that Hibs game, maybe even months ago now.
That's no fun though

Can thank Matthews from stopping that becoming a thumping. Didn't enjoy that reaction to Gordon going off, can imagine that hurt.
2-0 down and playing May as a lone striker with Hallberg off him and Wotherspoon as a central midfielder; an utter mess. Can Davidson not spend at least part of a game with players playing where they meant too?

Its helped by the fact the manager and players have apparently spent weeks trying to figure out our poor home form, and have come up with the solution of warming up in the opposite half than usual.
So glad they figured out that was the problem.
Hope you're right. Decent looking side in that shape

Im hoping its just a mistake on the line up, and Brown is at RB, Wright RM and Wotherspoon LM, with it being 4-4-2
I admire your optimism.

If Crawford and Phillips don't make it, a chance we start our second game without a single senior outfield plater on the bench.
