The interesting thing about Polster is that the management team are clearly looking at cover for Tav.  Given the number of games he is playing and how his impact is dipping of late, that seems sensible.

Perhaps it’s not cover they are looking for?.... 

It’s only in my opinion to be honest, I don’t see McAuley starting 

That’s not all profit & we need to be careful on that

Profit will be closer to £8-9m

Don’t often do this but as we approach our 1 year anniversary at the blog, a look back at my favourite moment when I interviewed Mr Derek Parlane 

As it was early in our blog a few of you may not have seen it but thought you might appreciate it 

Cheers guys

Still not adverse to them both in a 3-5-2.

Problem we have is we aren’t top heavy, at least if it’s 1 then if they are off the other comes on & hopefully we get a reaction

Both were off today & no options 

Don’t know what to say tonight

I’m very angry, a week is a long time in football - this time last week I was top of the world, tonight our start has literally been flattened 

Gerrard fucked up today, stop pissing about with the CBs & play Lafferty or Alfie, not them both - wide men stretches them & not playing Kent or Middleton was baffling when Kyle starts in front 

Midfield isn’t functioning when that 3 are playing like that so needed changing 

Auch so many moans - the whole thing was awful & we created nothing 

So angry & frustrated 

I hope they get their balls kicked & I hope our manager has a long think on that today also

They deserve every bit of criticism from today 

I’m not throwing toys out the pram, folk know how positive I am, but I’m not defending that in anyway either

Awful & very pissed off

Thanks Lads and lass, another good listen !

 

Colin shouldn't give Pete any more stick for his patter after that intro that culminated in the line about trying his hand with the Mrs that night......... was met by stoney silence from Christine 

 

#ProminentClubChairman

#ResearchReid

 

 

To be fair all the laughter was cut out, Christine was shouting some obscene stuff as well & that got cut too 

An absolute riot those two 

?

Listen to me display my Love for Stevie Gerrard & a barking debut from the dog! ?

That’s incorrect

Thank's again lads !................Couldn't have been easy doing this on Sunday night.

If you cite Coulibally as the main reason for being able to play more effectivelly in a certain formation, then surely it follows that if he doesn't play, the formation won't be as effective.

 

If you look at all the European away games, we've never been much of an attacking threat. What we have been is first and foremost, a solid defensive shape and haven't looked to compromise it by 'over-attacking'..... because generally, we haven't needed to and in some cases haven't been able to.

 

What for me has been the most impressive aspect over the European qualifiers, is a management of the tie at hand and doing what was required to get to the next stage.

 

What we didn't encounter during the qualification process was to go behind in any game.

 

What happened on Sunday was we were playing a better team than in the European qualifiers and we couldn't hold out, we went behind and it showed up what we are still lacking. That said, SG has been clear about building from the back. He's done a good job of that with a tangible and unexpected reward.

 

 We move on.........

Quite 

but point was we are a much better & effective team with him there 

I may not have put it across well but I wasn’t in most upbeat of moods tbf ! 

Was a difficult pod to do when all your inner self wanted to do was swear, rant & rant some more about the result ! 

Re Graham Dorrans 

I mentioned on @GersnetOnline podcast that the player openly told us he feared he was out the rest of the calendar year

He also mentioned he was seeing a new specialist in London. That happened last week & the player has responded to new treatment which is why we are 

Hopeful the player will return to training within the next ‘few weeks’. Fears of surgery now now allayed

The player still needs a pre-season & few reserves games so is still a few months away from match fitness but obviously much better than the calendar year.

Player himself Is desperate to return and play for his place in the team. Obviously good news for us

This confirmed by manager yesterday. 

Hopefully the series of injections continue to work & solve the problems. Obviously this has caused certain folk to have a go at me personally on other sites etc but it is what it is! 

I’m more glad it looks like he will be back a lot sooner

Good, I thought somewhere between 450 to 550K would be about right.

 

so much for 'off the record' 

 

Sorry, as in not in the press conference, more off camera etc 

you get the gist ?

Btw, we have never offered them Wallace, it was Hodson which they obviously didn’t accept

Klaff?  

7ft instrument playing striker

Probably somewhere around 600K ish with heavy add-on for hat-tricks against Celtic !

Not quite as much apparently 

Couple of journos are chasing it after a comment by SG off the record in Slovenia 

probably go out tonight 

Closing in on Klaff deal is latest gossip 

I listened to this today, thought it was brilliant 

Obviously biased but still!

Can't say I'm surprised.

Nor do I expect to see Jordan Rossiter anytime soon.

 

I'm just relieved that Arfield's injury doesn't appear to have been a major issue.

Rossiter is back in full training
