  1. Given his ability, I would hope we'd be looking for £1 million for him at least.
  2. Couldn't do anything about Phillips, but I do think we need to sell Mitov whilst his stock is high. Nightmare to lose him, but better getting a fee than losing him for free the year afterwards.
  3. Hearts apparently. Not confirmed, but they wouldn’t confirm anyway until end of season
  4. If we stay up this season, I'm reasonably positive that we could be mid-table next year. I think Levein has an eye for a player - Keltjens, Sidebar & Kimpioka have all been improvements on what we had before. Connor Smith is young and will develop. I think he can build a decent squad given the chance. Presumably Gordon, Keltjens and Clark will get new contracts. I would worry about offering Wright a new contract given his injury problems. Macpherson, Crawford, Carey, Gallacher, McGowan, Considine, Booth will be gone. Phillips has signed a pre-contract. We'd presumably look to move on Kane, May & Brown Robinson, DJ and Richards loans will be ending. That's 15 senior players leaving. I'd say we'd be looking to cut down the squad, so bring in maybe 8.
  5. Really poor passing. Even experienced players like Considine was giving it away regularly. Phillips had his worst game for us. St. Mirren marked tightly and out muscled us, it was tactics more than anything. Some of the selections were odd. Where was Keltjens, who has looked good. Why Gallacher on the right. I really think as each game goes by Gordon looks more of a liability. He gives away so many fouls, just wrestles players to the ground or kicks them. My only positive was that Sidibe did ok considering he had no help.

    New Owners

    I think the only attraction would be an American who has some sort of Scottish roots, and a lot a money. They aren't looking to make anything from it, but just connect with the local area. Perhaps they have a house nearby or whatever. They might own other sports teams in the US, and it's a hobby of theirs.
  7. Yes - a different team because we've improved so much since Levein took over.
  8. Yeah, I'd rather be frustrated that we could've won rather than look like League 1 material, which we were before. The fact that we are frustrated is a sign of progress.
  9. I'm not sure what you expect really. We're in 10th place, Hearts are comfortably in 3rd. It was a close game, with both teams playing defensively, won by a player who is too good for the team that won. Not so long ago we were getting pumped 4-0 by the might Stirling Albion. Only just losing 1-0 to Hearts, I'm quite content with.
  10. I think Macca made some decent signings too, and was quite sharp on spotting a player.
  11. I think there were a lot of positives last night - we held our own against a team that are comfortably the 'best of the rest'. If it wasn't for a moment of magic, they wouldn't have won. They shut down after that and it was too difficult to break them down. Olufunwa has always looked completely lost when I've seen him, but actually was quite decent last night. Keltjens is obviously much better than him, but he looked like an ok back up. We were missing quite a few. Kimpioka caused the problems, and the other new striker was at least willing to get some shots away. It's not great football, but we're grinding out decent performances and results. In our last 5 games, the only teams that have got more points than us are the OF, Hearts, Motherwell and St. Mirren. I think we'll finish the season in a comfortable 8th or 9th
  12. I agree with him. Jephcott is a poacher who stays in the box and knocks them in. We need strikers like Kane, who can draw fouls and muscle their way up the pitch, or like Kimpioka, who have the pace to run onto a long ball.
  13. Hang on a second. You’re going to give up supporting the club because we might be buying a striker that, according to rumours, League One clubs were also interested in? Seems a bit extreme
  14. Also, when he keeps us up at the end of the season, I expect he'll then be off and leave Kirk and Cleland in charge. I imagine that was the deal.
  15. I mean, when you look at the league results since Levein took over, we have only lost against teams in the top 4. That's pretty impressive actually considering we hadn't won at all in the league before he arrived.
