All fair points, that I couldn't disagree with any of them.

I just think Sibbald isn't good enough when asked to play in a role where he has to do more than the basics, injuries have probably forced the issue, if Naamo or Strain is fit it frees up Stephenson and I'd have Sevelj in there ahead of Sibbald.

But ultimately Goodwin chopping and changing the personnel, having to change the formation/tactics mid game so often is on him, we don't seem to have a recognised style of play at all.

 
Opinions on players differ between fans and I respect your opinion about Sibbald.  What I would say is that every team needs a player who can win the ball back and keep play moving.

That lineup i listed wasn't trying to select a best 11, it was more a way of showing that you can select a side that gives you a solid back 4, numbers in midfield and still pose an attacking threat.

My patience is wearing very thin with Goodwin's pig headed defiance, as you say having to change personnel and shape so often after a passive start and going behind. In fact I'm pissed off with it!

We have to be,otherwise madness

Why am I not surprised.

Don't worry lads the Haddie 2 will turn into deadly strikers very shortly.

Is it just me or does this January have 80 days in it 🤓

Tell you what I'm willing to bet he doesn't start for us again this season.

He's not. He's joined the partnership agreement. I don't think United will want him cup tied so expect he'll be involved v Ayr United today.

 
Would be idiotic if he was involved with airdrie today

So you never know

What is the difference between the two ? Does it mean he can play for both teams or something like that? Bizarre starting him at parkhead when I think the other two were fit and then punting him out loan. I would love him to start today and see if he can get a goal against a team he should be able to play well against if he is going to make it.

 
Cleall-Harding is also part of the same agreement and hasn't played a minute for Airdrie. It just opens up the option for them to play for Airdrie. I suspect he won't play for Airdrie, unless we sign a striker.

English championship clubs and Colorado rapids back in for Will Ferry most likely.

I thought Ferry was out of contract in the summer, I'd tell him we'll let him go then. We're short in other areas, don't need to source a left back just now as well.
