In the championship, doncaster are in league 1 are they not?

its a free transfer. doncaster are releasing him. Getting a six month contract allegedly

time we fought back on this. disagree the song is banned, the wording has changed so the song has never previously been sung. Its a parody.

cant get a game for Doncaster

Looks like he was defo at the game yesterday. Hes sent some criptic tweets that make it look like he was here yesterday and blown away with the opportunity to sign.

yeah moving the ball down one avenue then back out to go down another until you find a weakness.

he played for warburton before at brentford. Left winger can also play on the right. In the templeton kind of mould. He has a good turn of pace not to sure if he is good enough but Warburton obviously knows what he can offer. He was meant to be at the game yesterday with his agent to sign think its a short term deal but that might be just a rumour.

it wasn't the same. He changed a couple of things to help sort some of our previous weaknesses. he moved Waghorn out of the central position where he has failed to hold up the ball and replaced him with holt taking the place of miller who would drop out pulling the defender with him creating space. Eliminating the need for the centre forward to come short and hold the ball till the midfield moved. We have failed to hold the ball upfront for weeks he finally did something about it. Instead of playing through the middle he used the wingers to hold up play while the centre shifted(miller and holt) then had the ball played from wide into the space created by miller pulling out. Basically using runs to drag the centre backs out instead of the ball as previously done. He also had both right and left wingers staying out wide and running at the defence instead of coming inside and passing across the middle in hope of dragging out the hibs defence. We also utilised the third and you could also say fourth runner (law) which we had not done in recent weeks. Previously our midfield(central) sat behind the ball or inline with play while the full backs mainly Wallace did the over lapping runs with both wingers pulling inside. The main tactic before was to have our ball players come inside then find the runs from the full backs to get in behind the defence. Yesterday instead we did the opposite the center mids created the runs while the full backs and wingers stretched the defence sorry bit long winded and repetitive but not sure how else to explain it fully!

NIkos Karelis

agree he should be dropped would prefer to see Thompson playing or Law if hes fit enough

can come with age and responsibility or with loss. Maybe everything has always came to easy to him.

if he can find the desire and hunger to win he will go on to become a great player.

Understand where you are coming from but zalelam is rated as highly down south as any of them he always appears in the top ten youth prospects in England, so never say never!

would love to see us make a massive statement by buying Nikos Karelis would cost around 3m euro. Way out our budget I know but if hes in the window for English sides he could bring in what we received for jelavic or more easily enough.

not be better to put the predictions in the prediction link for the game?

agree with pretty much all the points in that just don't agree with the need for the tone. What's wrong with a civilised discussion of the points? why the need to constantly snipe?

Matt Targett LB Lewis Cook CM Brandon Barker LW Zach Clough CF Since its xmas and I can dream Will Hughes CM Patrick Bamford CF Joe Gomez CB all young players from down south would fit the Warburton style whether they are realistic or not is in the eye of the beholder

fod tavernier keirnan ball wallace halliday thompson law zalelam waghorn mckay would be my shout. would drop tavernier but too big a game to shove aird into

Its a small step away from sd. The more distance we can put between us and themselves the better off the club will be. Hopefully the bigger deal can be ripped up/contested once green and co go down.

Merry Christmas everyone!

thats good news, the quicker we can get our trademarks back the better.

I must have watched a different game last week, the one I seen we were poor for far far longer than 15 minutes. Anyone who used to watch the old firm games back in the 9 in a row era will tell you possession means nothing. we used sit and allow them to pass back and forth then we would break up the park and score. They could never figure it out. passing along the half way line and back again counts for nothing. Hope we are not going down the same path.

you need to go back to sept was the last time we had a game sown up at half time (morton). qos 1 each scored in the 90th minute to win 2-1 livi 0-0 15 mins to go win 1 nil dumbarton 0-0 20 mins to go score 2 and concede 1 to win 2-1 falkirk 1-1 8 minutes to go score twice these are poor side which we should be easily putting to bed especially the games at Ibrox. The recent results have been coming for a while

lucky if we have had more than a handful of games all season sown up before the 60th- 70th minute against what are poor sides. Fitness has papered over a lot of cracks this season.
