No room for Erskine on the bench Sir! Have to say i agree with most of that squad though and especially playing Connolly who was superb when he came on against Motherwell in the Cup but then again we have pretty much all said the same every game since. C'mon Jackie, let the laddie loose. Totally agree on Telfertoo even though it may leave us a tad softer in the middle. 

I'd drop GMS and shifty....for henri the mild mannered janitor ...and spittal right ...Armstrong middle and Connelly left in behind

..................rado.....................
Watson...morris..fajoot...townsend

......butcher...paton.......
erskine...armstrong...gms
.........nadir....

and after 60 mins let telfer, connely and henri loose

I'd be pretty close to what TEK has, Dow for GMS for me, or even Spittal on the right and Connolly on the left as Jackie likes Blair.

Would love to drop Ciftci too but don't think we can afford too, we need him to score on Saturday and go into the Aberdeen match with confidence.

In my team I'd change the keeper, but I know this won't happen:

...............Szromnik....................
Dillon....Morris...Fojut....Townsend
.............Butcher..Telfer................
Connolly...Armstrong...Dow......
...................Ciftci.......................

Subs -
Czierniak
Watson
Souttar
Spittal
GMS
Paton
Anier

Yeah, my thoughts too.

I don't think we can afford to drop him but his attitude and decision making stinks 70% of the time, IMO.

Aye...immaturity is a good way to describe it...he's maybe not immature (don't know him personally) but he plays in the manner at times as a spoilt school kid who knows he's the best player in the team but won't play as a team

he actually can do the dirty work, he actually can put a shift in, he actually does look like he cares, he sometimes is as good as ive seen at playing people in...i just can't put my finger on it why he drives me fucking barmycan we no clone him with Derek lilley....now there's fucking attitude

One things for sure the young 22 year old knows where the back of the net is think hes played about 60 games for us and scored 28 thats not including the screamer at wigan and when he turns around the weaknesses in his game he wont be playing in tangerine thats for sure personally thats not far away

Barry Robson had a poor attitude and temperament then turned it round and became a total matchwinner for us.

Maybe Nads will evolve the same way.

Doubt he'll be here long enough for us to benefit from it in any case.

see all this 'if nadir could smooth his rough edges he'd be away'...imho thats a load of fucking cack

so we have to just accept this is the way it is? would you no rather he worked at this and got better?

IF he played with his head up, played as a team player all the time, he's that good, and we're that good going forward we'd win a trophy...would you no rather he turned it right on, won a trophy , netted us a fee and fucked off after a season...or scored a load of goals, frustrated, was here for three years and fucked off for nothing?

HE CAN dae it....thats what bugs me

no that's not what i meant.

I meant even with his flaws i reckon someone will take a punt on him at the end of the season.

When his game evolves and he matures as a person and becomes more consistent he won't be here for us to enjoy his best fitba.

IMO.
 

Hope he stays for another 2 seasons and bangs another 28 goals and more in

I love nadir and his rough edges 

i'm not interested in personal goal stats tbh..i'd rather we fought like a team, played like a team and won trophys like a team

anycunt roughly my age or older and grew up watching mcleans teams ...do you think he'd have played week in week out for king james?

not a fucking cat in hells chance

ps...cyber pint he doesn't start saturday
