    Ross County (h)

    Any news on players that might be ready to return? We badly need bodies back.

    A very important 3 points up for grabs. Win and we go into the International break consolidating our league position. So I'm hoping that JG finds the answer to the midfield problem because we just can't keep lumping it up to Dalby. That needs to change.

    Last I read, it was 50/50 with Moult and Graham ( been reading that for weeks though) and no sign of Doc but Trapanovski is out. If it's true about Doc having a toenail removed,surely to **** it should be OK by now? I could have grown a whole new f*cking toe by now!

    Graham is key. We've looked a bit shaky without him, shows just what an important player he's become for us. Moult back would be a bonus.

    Would really like to see Goodwin going with a back 4 so we can get more control in midfield and Babunski further up to support the attack but will he.....

    Not heard anything new. I'm more worried about the formation though, rather than who is available.

    We have changed the starting formation in most, (if not all) matches played seemingly. It is obviously not working.

    Bolster the midfield (don't care who) to stop us being overrun. Play 2 up front at home (don't care who) Back 4, who know what they are meant to be doing , and who they should be marking, and when, especially at set pieces.

    Maybe, that's too simple, I know there is a lot more to setting up a team than that, fair dooz. But... we need to change something. preferably before a ba' has been kicked.

    For me it doesn't seem like rocket science. How about starting the game with the formation we've been ending it with instead of the other way around? Instead of continually having to rescue the game, how about we start on the front foot for a change? Hope Jim is reading this

    You're probably best not to get your hopes up for any free flowing beautiful football, but if you like last minute heart failure type stuff then you're on a f*cking winner! 🤣

    Great chance to add to our points tally. Whilst we are gaining points I reckon JG will stick to the system/s he is using until we have consolidated our league status. It may not be pretty but it is effective. Some fans may not favour JG's tactics but he has done everything that has been asked of him so far. Stability may be boring in some peoples eyes but it's exactly what we need after the last few years.

    His system isn't working though, we've continually had to rely on last gasp goals to be where we are. That will not continue indefinitely, unless we are content,and fortunate enough to be this seasons Raith Rovers? We need to be trying to win games from the outset,especially home games against Ross County and other teams in our end of the spectrum.
