we have no back up to Kent and our entire philosophy is built partially on industrious wingers. 

Exactly.

Wright is essentially a wide player.

In our squad at the moment we’ve only got Jones & Stewart as back -up for Kent.

Stewart hasn’t featured much this season & his contract is up at the end of the season.

Jones Im not sure has a future at Rangers.

My only concern about Wright is his injury record.

Wright’s look decent any time I’ve seen him but his injury record is a worry 

When they went down to 10 men I’d have gone with 2 up front

Another unacceptable display from Beaton at pittodrie. Failing to send off Main was ridiculous. And what about the assistant referee? Did he not see anything?

Was always going to be a tough game today now even more so without Jack, Arfield & Roofe.

I hope we start the game a lot better than we’ve been doing in recent weeks and canstop giving away possession carelessly at times. 

I also hope we see Hagi in his best role i.e supporting the central striker instead of stuck out wide. 

I see Mr Beaton is the referee today & he’s done us few favours at pittodrie in recent years especially with penalties.

Holyrood has effectively asked the SFA to comment on whether Celtic have flouted their guidelines. 

Wonder if & when we’ll get a response ?

don't worry the spfl as ever have arranged for us barely to be at home in jan. 

So it seems.

Three of our next four league games(in January) are away as I understand things. 

Hopefully this will mean mostly home games in the run-in 

We’re in a great position. No more than that at this stage. Still many difficult games to come.

And the state of the ibrox pitch worries me again like it did this time last season. A poor surface doesn’t suit our style of play in which the ball is mostly on the deck

We should be identifying the next Glenn Kamara.

My biggest fear is we lose Kamara this month. Class again today even in first half when things not going well

Just listened to Lennon's interview on SKY there, comedy gold..

Not seen it. I believe he questioned the red card? Surely not

Whilst delighted to get the win I’m concerned about how poorly we played for the first hour.

Hopefully SG will look back & learn from it. I said on here before the game we mustn’t get outnumbered in MF and that’s exactly what happened.

And I think young Hagi must be in the starting XI from now on. 

Very fortunate not to be behind

I’m very disappointed Hagi and Helander don’t play tbh. Really hoping Morelos/Kent/Balogun prove me wrong but I’m just a wee bit less confident than I was, pinning my hopes on Roofe now. 

Hagi’s been our biggest goal threat in recent games. Astonished he’s not starting

Like most I’m surprised we didn’t go with Helander who is IMO a better defender than Balogun but comfortable enough with Leon starting. Not at all surprised with the rest of the side which is clearly what SG thinks is his strongest from the available players.

 

For them I’m always disappointed when Brown doesn’t play as he weakens their midfield and although Griffiths is clearly not fit, he is still a goal threat if he give him an inch, so we must defend properly.

 

The other major concern for me is Madden, who rarely has a fair and balanced game. He can influence this game far more than any of their players.

Agree about Madden. Always seems to me as if he’s obliged to give them something in these games

Just hope we’re not outnumbered in MF with our starting XI

Calum McGregor on the radio saying ''they will probably flood the midfield again like they always do against us''

Flooding the midfield is exactly what I expect them to do tomorrow. Vital we don’t get outnumbered in midfield 

We are not told in the article which team Mitchell supports?

my guess is either:-

a) fc separate entity

b) a wee deluded club in NE Scotland whose name escapes me

?????????

Surprised at Robinson leaving Motherwell. Can only presume he’s had another offer from elsewhere 

Am I alone in thinking Roofe & Hagi are a good combination together?

Delighted to get the win but would like to have seen us score more in second half. At 2-0 the game was never completely in the bag so to speak

Slow start to second half. Need to improve

Let us just keep it exactly as it is.

If we get next goal game over more or less.

Have to say 2-0 flatters us a bit but let’s see if we can add to this...

Poor start to the game from us. Need to improve. Up the tempo

Long overdue unfortunately
