Igamane and Danilo. The new McCoist and Hateley. Two more in the second half and it’ll be Miller and Brand.Miller and Brand.

Build up play is to slow

Now, steady on.. we speak of the latter two in hushed tones.

All a bit disjointed, but we took our chances well enough. Cerny somewhat off the boil to day, three chances and a pass straight to an opponent ... maybe today is the day of the left flank?

 

The danger we pose with two strikers is obvious, although Hagi is somewhat wasted on the left wing. We need to keep Souttar and Balogun fit for next week. Seeing the Berliner doing his last gasp excellent tackles always gives me the fear about an incoming strain ...

 

Dunno who's Sky's co-commentator today (McCann?), and there are worse, but somehow I think he's watching a different game. Started off with "a comfortable safe" for the Stag's goalie at Igamane's goal "bar that slight touch" (which I almost didn't see), to commentating the game essentially at a level comparable to the play before him. A bit strange, if it really is McCann.

Two nil will do get some subs on McAusland Dowell and Bajrami

Sluggish admin today 😱 ...

 

3 goals, 3 points, nothing special, but rather solid. Good game for Igamane (and you wonder whether he was really not "up to speed" earlier), who has a bit of the Morelos flair about him. Not afraid to have a shot, always in there, head doesn't go down either. Let's see how this new partnership develops. 

A touch disappointed with Cerny, and you do wonder why McCausland doesn't get any minutes.

I'm fully behind Clemente; I think it's revealing how he has gradually changed the style of play and has been willing - albeit belatedly - to drop certain players. I disagree with Cammy about the Spurs game being less important than today's v Rossco: beat Spurs and our stock in Europe rises and it becomes easier to recruit players. We have already lost the league but we can still regain some kudos by beating Spurs and the Keltic. I'm more optimistic  now than a couple of months ago.

Enjoyed the game today. Igamanes goal was a topper, and Tav's was a nice hit too. As for the cup final and spurs games, try to win both and see where the chips fall. This is still the same building back season for me and any big game wins are a bonus.

A nice routine 3-0 away from home, hadn’t happened enough this season.

Three goals three point but big improvement needed for the  midweek game
