Not forcing to their goalie make a save in the 2nd half was a worry for me. We had 70% possession but ultimately did heehaw with it. At least if their keeper has a MOTM performance (like Foster did a few years back) you can at least say we were unlucky. Today we were just poor.

I have to be honest and say I could not give a damn about the League Cup or the the Scottish Cup for that matter. They are nice additions but they are short cup competitions that any team can win (ie. St. Jonstone) and don't come close to what matters... winning the league and some signs of progress in Europe. This is not being smart after the event. I just can't get worked about the cups unless we are playing the Tims or a treble is in the balance.

If this continues, that won't be for long. We have Livingston, Hibs, Aberdeen, Celtic and Hearts away in the next round of fixtures. I think there is more chance of Shergar winning next year's Gold Cup than us taking maximum points from all those games.

It's been that way all season tbh

McGregor has been very poor this season IMO. One season too many?

Sloppy, incoherent, wasteful, slow and aimless. This game all but sums us up this season. Maybe not the time for this but Morelos should have been sold if 16 million was on the table. We would be lucky to get anything over 2/3 million for him now. Oh well, at least Gio got a good view of what's ahead of him.

Is Roofe suspended or injured?

Very big day for Tavernier and Goldson IMO. With no manager as such in the dugout, we will need our leaders on the pitch to step forward.

Couldn't agree more. Apart from the occasional decent delivery he has been very average this season. 8 million? Yes please!

God help us if he is on the shortlist.

What do you expect? A minute by minute update on discussions related to a new manager? IMO, this has been planned for a while. It's too coincidental that this all happens during an international break.

The same goes the other way. You stated that this guy could be our Ronny Delia. That is equally facile.

I would say Potter's career is comparable with Knutsen. Both have led smaller Scandanavian teams to European football with a clear vision and progressive football.

Here is a link to that game Stewart

Did she not do Who do you think you are? and discover her Dad was in the Timalloys and her mum was high up in the Orange Lodge? Something like that...

Agree 100% about Lampard. His team's had zero identity as far as I could see.

Now being mentioned as the next England manager. I think my biggest concern is that guys like Potter and Knutsen seem like longer term project managers. The crazy world we inhabit dictates that we need someone to hit the ground sprinting.

Why wait? We need to be ahead of the game here and not wait until he's beyond our reach. He's very progressive from what I've read and he's current. Gio hasn't managed at a good level for over 2 and a half years. Is the Norwegian a risk? Of course he is but so is every managerial appointment.

That's a rather myopic outlook Bill. Can I ask a question? Would you take Graham Potter as our next manager?

In the 70's. Big DJ rounding the keeper and scoring. Think it was against Dundee Utd?

Was the first goal not set up with a sublime pass from Wilkins?

Knutsen should definitely be on the list. Wilson has talked about a succession plan and this guy's philosophy is based on a pressing 4-3-3 system. The more I read about him, the more I like.

I hear he's lining up a bid for Brandon Barker...?????

That's not what I said.

No club will be looking at Jack based on his injury record alone.
