  1. Interesting reading on Blair Spittal. Had a great season, chat he has signed a pre contract with St Mirren but not confirmed. That would be a situation where we could swoop in as McInnes likes to do - especially if we got Europe and they didn't?
  2. Boring answer is lots more players fit. Hojlund back is the only proper centre forward they have, Wan Bissaka was brilliant today, hadn't played for ages. Having Erikson and then even Mount to come on instead of youth players was an upgrade too. Not sure how much of that was about football in the end though - it was chaos for for ages. Apparently Fernandes at centre back and Antony at left back has been the answer staring Ten Hag in the face all this time...
  3. Matty Todd scoring again. Wonder if he could be the next Armstrong from that league
  4. Good honest discussion on this thread. This post is spot on - start of the season I said top six or coat-tails of top six with a good squad built and progress made would be a good season. I think one of those two pretty much guaranteed now. So it's a good season. But Because we are 4th and so close to more, it will now feel like a massive let down if we don't get into a Euro spot. And I'm slightly concerned a few bad results together with the injuries could make it all feel a bit flat and lead to a bad atmosphere. Missing Saturday for a wedding, but feel tense about it. Not so much that I don't trust us, but regardless of how we play, all it could take is a bad VAR penalty and red card and it can be a long way back... We've got a team and a manager to get us through it. Trust there. But totally understand nerves and second thoughts
  5. Hibs at home to Livi on Saturday... Dundee have Rangers will hopefully help.
  6. Agree with this and hope that is the message McInnes had been getting across this week. The slight scunner is that two and three are not ones where you are always punished. It's not giving away open goal/tap in situations, as a comparison. Not that it makes it much better. But I sort of get the frustration Vass has in the interview
  7. By the tone of that update I doubt we'll see KVV or Stewart starting much for the rest of the season...
  8. The way our signings have gone with the injuries, slightly worried that St Mirren and Hibs have actually come out the January window stronger and a bit more balanced than us. Hibs got some annoyingly good players. Think there's a really big effort ahead
  9. The former Killie lads holding well against Hearts I've missed watching Power fly into tackles
  10. Looked like dissent from the TV - I thought he should have been booked twice for it. Came back and gave the ref a proper barrage after the yellow

    KVV

    I wasn't at the game, but according to this thread I don't think he did...

    KVV

    Trying to work out exactly what is meant here - does he mean that KVV went out to warm up on the 60 mins and that's when he felt the injury, rather than pre match warm up? That would make sense. The alternative is much more worrying
  13. In terms of whether the players "bottled it", I think the context/timing of the 2nd and 3rd goals need taken into account. We've had periods in games where we've been really bad and run ragged. Up to the first goal was nowhere near that. Aberdeen more in control, but nothing much happened for either side then we make a mistake. Flat but not atrocious. The second goal is what to the stadium looked like a perfect and brilliant strike, against a backdrop of their terrible form, and would have felt like a Turning Point moment. No surprise they then get a massive lift. 33 minutes gone away from home and with that context, that's a deep hole to get out of Even at that, we did respond and come back into it and score. Again flat rather than atrocious after the break - that's probably the most disappointing bit for me - , and it seems just as I was thinking "time for a sub", McInnes was too and finding out that KVV wasn't fit. It's in those few minutes where we're working out what to do that they get a big old deflection and it's game over. Its a sore one and we needed more from the players but I think it has a lot of "one of those afternoon" markers about it too. The response next week will be interesting, and I'm confident good. Gutted I'm missing that one.

    KVV

    Stewart was near enough at fitness then got a groin strain and KVV has had wee injury issues like today. Disappointing how it's turned out, but far from baffling imo
  15. Agreed Stewart got Watkins and GMS I'm the Kennedy role maybe? Deas for Findlay?
  16. Think the slight deflection it takes from the defenders leg means it doesnt go where he expected it to go. Still a question of whether he could do better regardless.
  17. Yes! So badly setup Not for a while though. Real sense that he's settling I think
  18. Interesting to see these stats posted today.
