CBM may not be great but he is playing defensive midfield. He gets the ball from the centre backs and tries to play it forward which is difficult if no-one is moving for him.

Well that was pretty shit. Why do we not show any urgency until we are a goal down? Shouldn't we be doing that from kick-off? Once again O'Hara was like a statue in the middle of the park. Doesn't push himself or the team forward. Strolls about the half way line like a training session with side and back passes. He is the Captain and should be pushing the team on. Where is the player we had 2 seasons ago? Time for Kiltie to replace him.

Recently we have sold Dylan Reid, Murray Campbell and Ethan Sutherland all with sell on clauses. And of course John McGinn has made us more money than any other player. Lewis Morgan and Jamie McAllister also brought in cash. So while the first team may not benefit greatly from the Academy the Club does.

Thought we were the better team and by far created the most chances today. But possobly the most frustrated I gave been at a game in a while. I, and friends around me, all reckoned O'Hara would miss the penalty - I thought he had a poor afternoon. Their goal was a clear handball and the Tanser sending off was a bad joke. That being said we showed no urgency when we had 11 v 10. Too many side and back passes; no running into space and nobody running at their defenders. We need the midfield to run beyond their line and the wingbacks to actually cross the halfway line. However a decent ref today and I reckon we would gave won that.

He is fast enough to cover most of his mistakes. Only has one pass in him and that is to the opposite opposition corner flag. Tries hard. Great guy though.

Murray is a Dundee lad and only wanted to move to Dundee as well as family reasons.

Allegedly vv is a loan deal until January.

Aye, Celtic have signed McCowan.

Leyton Orient offered a derisory £175k for CBM - a 24yo full internationalist. I do not think we should be accepting a slightly increased offer. He's had an injury and been forced to play this season resulting in poorer performances. However he is an excellent player that we need to keep if we are aiming at top 6 again. Maybe offers of £500k would be more tempting but doubt anyone will offer that.

I think we have a stronger squad than last season. Injuries are a problem at the moment but hopefully that is short term. Many of our new signings are 'projects' - players who once showed great potential (eg Adeniran whom Everton paid £4m for or Scott whom Hull paid £1.5m ) but have lost their way. Some haven't played regularly for over a year. Once these guys get up to speed and with Robinson's magic they should come good. All have shown touches of what they are capable of but have been inconsistent so far. Slow start to the season for us before we hit the gears and motor on up the league. Away win.

Besides scoring goals strikers have to press; hold the ball up and make runs into space for themselves and midfield coming through. Only Toy does these.

Man City and Chelsea were monitoring Ethan when he was at Alloa. So Wolves would be wanting to get a transfer done quickly. Considering we signed Ethan from The Sevco only 2 years ago this is a good bit of business. Would have loved to have seen him develop with us but a good deal for us anyway.

Brown, Taylor and Olusanya have got to be starting every game. Not great but Phillips tried hard today. No-one else got pass marks from me.

It's all very good saying get good young players on long contracts however these players will not sign long or even short contracts. Dylan Reid refused to sign a contract extension at 16 even after playing first team football with us. Signing for Palace in the EPL and tons of money was more appealing. Same with Murray Campbell refusing us to sign for Burnley in the EPL. And with Man City, Chelsea and Palace all interested in Sutherland I doubt he'll be signing a contract extension with us. EPL clubs hoover up the best of Scottish talent I am sorry to say. We can offer contracts but agents, the EPL and money have more influence than playing against Ross County.

Totally agree. Problem is we don't have anyone to play with Toy who can put in a shift with Kiltie and McMenimen out. Maybe Scott. Or maybe Sutherland!
