Brashy's Boots

Newspaper headlines next morning called us "Skol Cup Shock Troops". Quite a game, and that Nelson goal.....

Can't read this as it's behind the paywall, and even incognito mode won't let me in, but does it say who's doing the impressions of Karen McCartney?

Well, this got dark quite quickly.

There's no one quite like Tex

Our proximity to 4th is irrelevant. The OP was talking about promotion and there's not a chance this squad would achieve that. Our inconsistencies and injuries means the "good" playoffs are also beyond us. I'd settled for a mid table meh finish and I still think we'll end there, but any talk of promotion in a transitional season with a threadbare squad is madness.

Anyone who even earlier today harboured hopes of promotion needs to take some time out. We've been out of that competition for weeks. Yes I know we're only X points out of playoffs, but few teams, if any, are as inconsistent and careless as us.

Two chances of this happening, and Slim's out of town....

I'd certainly hope John gets more than his hitherto customary 2 mins. Confidence is key.

You're arguably an erse, though. We don't win many cups. Those are hugely enjoyable days in our history.

Lewis Vaughan testimonial. Did I know about this and just forget or is this new?

Soooooooo, no player rumours then? Oot or in.

Desperation.

Anyhoo, Salford v Northampton on tv, featuring one K.Bowie, lately of this parish.

Not a virus then, as stated by Raith TV? Little wonder people speculate.

No. Thank you.

Or perhaps the subject of ongoing transfer discussion....

No Stanton. Fuckin boooooo

This game is just a sideshow now.

I'll happily answer the question. I don't want us to sign Connell. I thought that was relatively clear from my 2 previous posts, especially the earlier one.

I hope so, although Connell is currently a loan and will soon be an out of contract player....

Strikers are all about goals, says Davie in that interview. Well, that counts out Connell, McBride and comedy John. I'm scunnered to hear we're not actively looking to bolster attack because whilst I like him and he scored today, we know Gullan won't suddenly catch fire and hit another 10. I get that money is tight, but we're pissing it away on players who can't score goals. Few are likely to be targets for anyone else so there seems to be two chances of moving them on - slim and none - and slim is outta town. Paying out their contracts might not make sense either, when we don't know their value. It seems a shoe-in that Connell will be signed. Without a club, he'll be cheap and IM seems to rate him. For me, his good games can be counted on one hand and if Davie is right, he's no striker. So I fear we're stuck with what we have. Lewis isn't fit enough (no criticism there), Gullan will get a few and the rest will be from the usual suspects, ie Connolly, Stanton (If he stays) or the occasional defender. Play-offs (the good ones)? Not a chance.

It's the hope that kills you...

Hold your horses. There will be more.

Opinions eh? I'd happily extend Ngwenya's time with us.
