  1. We looked a lot more solid with MacKenzie at the back.
  2. No you're spot on. He's going to have to be managed carefully. I could be wrong but I think today was his first 90 minutes.
  3. I don't want to look like I'm continually bashing McInnes. I'm certain we're still training at Balgownie if not for him. With all that said, there's no chance we start the season with MacKenzie and Ramsay if he's still here. Two problem positions sorted and the answers were right under our nose.
  4. "Matty Kennedy was left out of the squad". Such a harsh final line to the article.
  5. Was that the poundshop Grealish? Gave me a laugh.
  6. Surely not got yourself in to another McNamara situation?
  7. We've probably got a fullback in the youths who can play there tbh.
  8. Should have went in 1-1 after a half of near domination of the ball. Really enjoyed that first forty minutes. We're a final ball away from being a very good team. I don't think it'll be long before we see a Gallagher and McCrorie pairing at the back.
  9. Will be a mistake if Brown plays every game. Kennedy must be away.
  10. A few months ago folk were saying they were willing to do pretty much anything short of murder to go to a game We're not sharing medical records, are we? We're just confirming that there's a high chance we don't have the virus.
  11. LFT done. Genuinely excited. Can't wait to be on here complaining about how shite we were at 5pm on the dot.
  12. I'd imagine the folk that have a problem with it are the same folk who have an issue with the players coming out as gay. Probably no issue with their star striker being seen stumbling out of the nightclub at 3am though.
  13. Some turnaround for the lad. From singing about Ian Durrant being injured to taking the blue coin.
  14. I agree he is a better player. Arsenal can't offer him £200k per week while they are struggling to offload other high earners. They also have at least 3 other starting positions to fill. He'll also want Champions League football.
  15. Varane is not significantly cheaper. He's a lot more expensive.
  16. We were a bawhair away from equalising too though. I genuinely thought we had enough chances to win that game last night. I certainly didn't turn it off thinking we'd had a doing. As Ebbe would say "the operation was a success but the patient died." It's been two games with a team you could almost call his. Surely we'd have to give him at least a round of league games before we say he can't adapt if it's not going well?
  17. I'm not sure if this is a trick question but I'll answer anyway. Under Derek we played a man marking system. It was very rigid. At times we had a forward running from full back to full back chasing the ball whilst everyone else moved around following one player. From what I've seen of Glass it's a fluid system where we press as a team. It's not about plan a, plan b etc it's about adapting and reacting to how the opposition move the ball so we can force them in to a mistake and counter. Things absolutely changed under Glass, but results were still indifferent. He took over another mans team that looked to be lacking in confidence and fitness and the different to see after several months is clear. Rangers away you could argue we were the better team. We missed two of the biggest sitters you are going to see against a team that steamrolled almost everything put in front of them domestically.
  18. Wanted to listen that but wasn't paying for it! Purely just to hear what he says about Derek.
  19. One of the best examples from last season was probably a defeat, IMO. At home to Hibs. Hibs scored a very good goal after we missed a few chances then just played the game out. We would still be playing that out at 0-1 just now.
