  1. Very much so. Other than the Celtic game at the end of last season when we were Covid-ravaged, we have been in every single game under CD. Actually, the worst performance was probably the one game where he started with a back four, away to Livingston, which is what makes me think he's not likely to rush back to that in a hurry. Even the 3-0 defeats to Rangers, we played well but just made bad errors at silly times. As said though, you haven't really come away from a single game under CD thinking we've been massively second best there. The only really disappointing game this season has been United, where he should have made more changes. Other than that, we are playing well and that's what you are looking for at this stage of the season. That points you far more towards where you'll be in May than spawning a few undeserved wins. That's another benefit of being in this league so long, you kind of know how it pans out. First season up we were playing well but not getting results. They came. The first full season under Lonas. Likewise. Then again last season. So much to be pleased with on Saturday but the way the manager got a new defence gelled is really encouraging. The competition between Muller, Dendoncker, Ambrose and now maybe Brown for that spot beside Gordon and McCart is going to be fierce and should really bring something out of hopefully at least a couple of them. Three tough games coming up and results might not fall our way yet but if the performances are there again, there will be no need to become concerned.

  2. Agree with that. In most games it has been obvious late in the games we needed to freshen things up. On Saturday it was obvious Spoony was struggling and also Crawford who has not played much football recently. In the European games & some league games we have lost the games in the last 20 mins. To my mind that is down to lack of use of squad ,not only subs but if he had used his squad against United we might have had fresher legs against Lask who are not a great team . I think the Saints game is the only one they have won this season.

  3. Under the circumstances I thought it was a good performance. Muller perhaps showed his inexperience with giving away the penalty, but on the whole I think he's a really impressive young defender and the more he plays, the less likely errors like that will become. Brown also seems to be really growing into the team the more he plays, and I'm glad we put him into the back three to allow Rooney to play in his best position - hopefully we've seen the last of those two playing the other way around. As @Radford 72 says above, we suddenly have a lot of competition for places at the back and that can only be a good thing. Also think MOH deserves a shout-out for the work he's put in this season, which was rewarded with a terrific goal. Just a pity we couldn't cling onto that lead. I know Eetu didn't get long on the pitch but I thought he looked potentially very impressive - eager to get stuck in and confident enough to try that outrageous overhead kick with virtually his first touch (and it wasn't all that far away from hitting the net either). I would like CD to be a bit more pro-active with his subs though. I feel other teams are changing things against us and then we end up having to be reactive. We really went for it at the end of the game on Saturday but it took us a while to make that shift. On the whole I remain positive about the way things are going this season, despite some fairly baffling negativity on here over the last week or so.

  4. The sun stating that Kent got kicked pushed and shoved all over the park. The ref needed eyes in the back of his head And McDiarmid is the worst playing surface by a country mile. Obviously someone didn't like his half time pie

  5. I read somewhere it was 6429. (That might have just been in my prediction, though.)

  6. That's probably the closest. Consider some of our embarrassing ones under TW though.

    Unacceptable misuse of a season ticket. If they got banned I'd have absolutely no sympathy.

  12. A contract for Liam Gordon should be the top priority.

  13. He's not an emergency loan, nor is he from London. A really really good post otherwise.
