    double deluxe reacted to Lt. Col Kojak Slaphead II in Aberdeen V St.Johnstone - Wednesday 26th February   
    Agree with most of what has been written so far, much improved performance last night.  With special mentions to Robinson, DJ, Sprangler and Benji who I thought were all excellent. 
    But definitely worth mentioning the performance of Liam Gordon, I thought he was absolutely tremendous, defensively solid and also seemed to spend the night urging the players forward at every opportunity, he even stepped out from defence and played one or two decent forward passes.  He's been the subject of a lot of stick this season (some merited, some way over the top) so only fair to acknowledge when he performs well.

    I’d go 4-3-3:
     
    Mitov
    Keltjens McGowan Considine Gallacher
    Smith Sprangler Phillips
    DJ  Clark  Carey
     
    Robinson been miles off it since his return, Gordon could benefit from a few games on the bench too.  Wouldn’t be against dropping Phillips either but the alternative is Kucheriavyi…
    Sprangler back in to protect the defence and system allows for wingers (remember them?).  Get the ball wide quickly and don’t be scared to run at their full backs - I’d rather the players lost the ball trying to beat a man than pass sideways and inevitably backwards.

    Lessons definitely being learned from last summer, would certainly not expect any repeat.  Big changes being made. 👀

    Sounds like that’s surely it for Callum, the uncharacteristic clap at the end says it all.
    A couple our fans were a disgrace today, chucking things at the linesman and some comments that would see bans handed out.

    They were bought second hand and were used only a matter of months before being damaged after toppling a couple of years ago.  Haven’t been fixed or replaced since.

    There is a difference between being an untouchable and being deserving of your place and I think considine falls into the later category.

    I think it's fairly easy to get that information and do some due dilligence. Dipo was at Wlling. WUFC have strong connections with Charlton and Millwall. So if CD isn't tapped in to the SE London football scene you have to wonder.....cos he's been down south more than once. Likewise, you have Alex Dyer who was up at Killie who was embedded in the SE London scene. Those players are not hard to find, but they might not actually want to uproot to the north. Take Dipo's replacement at Wlling - former Partick Striker Azeez! (on over £1500 a week) playing parttime football on nearly full time money in divison 6 in england
    I reckon Dipo looks the biz.
