Coventry Saint

Stubbs, of course, being an expert at engaging with a fan base. What a c**t.

There's guys on here are refusing to let that one go as well.

I work with a number of Boro fans and they've all said they can't see any way he ever gets a game for them. Just too far down the pecking order. I don't think they'll be hard to deal with, but I also don't think we should be paying a fee for him.

Think Aberdeen get the 2.15m - they got more points, after all.

We took the lead twice big man.

County mustering 15 minutes of urgency and fairly expansive play (albeit against 10 men) that would absolutely have kept them clear of 11th if they'd managed it more often this season. That has to be frustrating.

I was making an oblique point about the wisdom of time wasting, but I think you know that.

Haven't seen an Aberdeen side take this long to take goal kicks since that time we went on to score 96th and 97th minute goals against them.

It's a massive shame they made you play against top half teams this season.

FFS Aberdeen this isn't what we want

Can't see us signing that off.

The colouring on the left and right ones aren't nice (IMO). The middle shade is ok, thought the overall design is mediocre.

If the Bedeau rumours are legit, then he will more likely be the left-sided player coming in to cover. That'd give us Fraser, Gogic, Bolton, Bedeau and Taylor for three places, which is probably adequate. Rooney could cover there as well if needed.

Cheers, that might explain it.

I didn't see the quotes myself, but was there not a line reported from Robbo where he said the data showed Fraser 'made less mistakes' at LCB, which is why he'd been getting used there? Not my words and I can't vouch for the source, but if it's true that the management has identified he's making too many errors, then it feels natural that they'd also be looking for improvements. Regardless of who comes in, he'll still be playing a massive role still next season.

Cheers!

Been meaning to ask, as my legitimate stream didn't have commentary... What was the reason for the lengthy hold up about five mins in? Hearts due to take a GK but it took forever.

I dunno, I thought it did look like fitness. It certainly wasn't the same as, for example, Kyle McAllister, where you could see the discomfort his back issues were causing him. I saw enough last night to be confident he will come good. Some nice touches, decent goal, and starting to understand the system, but short of fitness and confidence. Which we knew about already. I predict that by December we'll consider ourselves lucky to have him.

Decent game that. We moved it about pretty well, and caused a lot of problems. We've been pretty well matched with Hearts this season and it underlines our progress. I've gone from being pretty ambivalent about Mandron's likely departure to thinking he'll be a big miss. Hopefully we get a decent fee if he does go. Great to see Scott score: there's absolutely a player in there and once he's got himself into shape he'll make a big contribution. And I'm really going to miss Keanu Baccus. Hasn't quite become a fan favourite for some reason but he will go on to be remembered as one of our best ever players IMO.

6472 this season Vs 6287 last season. Safe to assume that's the highest ever though CBA to confirm right now. Normally tonight's game would inch that average up very slightly but will depend on what Hearts bring through; sounds like away end might be slightly reduced for understandable reasons.

Yeah. You only have to look at our struggles when he was out the side to underline your point. That said, I have high hopes for McMenamin next season. He was also injured for a spell and looked really promising when he came back in the side.

It's funny because there's two players with the same surname.

We both have drawn very few games this season: 7 for us, 6 for Hearts. But if ever a game had honourable 1-1 draw written all over it, this one did. Are Hearts fans going through in their usual decent numbers or is the evening KO/dead rubberiness of it all killing that off?

Naw, I think Strain will have said he's not signing. It's a nice clean exit for everyone.
