    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! 🤣

    Why so negative!

    I have to admit i was a touch apprehensive heading along to Tanny today, not fully because of this comment, but there has been some other comments ive picked up on in the past few weeks that not all is ok.

    Im not gonna dwell too much on this, but refereeing in Scotland is killing this beautiful game!

    So, down to business, and i cannot for the life of me find another negative from todays game. Bit slow in the first half, but it was 2 teams testing each others tactics and finding they were pretty well matched.

    Second half it was obvious from kick off that the tempo was raised, and the County defence started to look very nervous! Moaned for years about the playing through the keeper at the back, and while we did play along the back, instead of always going back, it was so refreshing to see the ball back at Walton when required, but also the right ball into midfield and up front when appropriate.

    Great to see some very well worked goals and it was a beautifully perfect diving header from Luca from a stunning Ferry cross! The pass from Babunski for the second is up there with some of the best, and it was great movement from Stirton to be involved at the start and ending his goal!

    Sponsors MotM i think is up for argument as there were few failures today. Adegboyega i think has a strong argument for a nomination, but Sevelj and Babunski were immense today along with Luca, but i think Babunski edges it for me.

    One player must find a way to do better and that is Van Der Sande. Thought he was poor first half, and while he did improve marginally, i think its about time he was putting the ball away when sent through on goal like he was.

    Have to say im a very happy arab tonight.!

    Brilliant result and to be honest i never expected such an emphatic victory against a team who have been improving on the road.
