Satan

Just as long as Ikpeazu doesn't bludgeon his way to goal , which I fear may happen, we have a chance. Absolutely no worries over Mulraney, saw enough of him underperforming here for 2 years.

It's when long posts are quoted in full...zzzzzz.

Aye, dodged a bullet or two there.

Even macauley got a game today, the kids can't be far behind.

At this rate we will be playing the kids in the run in.

Scottish cup.

Crikey, have we forgot how to take penalties??

Mccart injured or suspended? Maybe 3 5 2... Need to go hard from the start, last 2 games been lacking urgency.

Damn, we were supposed to get Steven MacLean on Tuesday!!! 5 yellows so far.

That's the thing about momentum, when it's gone it's gone. Have to start again, and inertia is the problem.

Unfortunately for us Josh Mullin scores as well as creates goals.

I hope Aaron isn't coming to the end of his contract...his form has been good lately.

Interestingly from 2014/15 and the following 3 seasons Draper and Vigurs were our most booked players - twice each...funny that.

What is our tally for leading league goals scored this year? (Letting Oakley go seems like an even bigger mistake now.)

Unless he has a very good midfield around him at premier level, he'll struggle, again. Take him back?? Not on those wages!! We can't afford mercenaries. ?

Playing them 6 times this season ( with little positive results)just got a bit much. Time to move on methinks.

In think 2nd half county were well within themselves, if we had scored then I reckon they could've upped their game again, whereas we were flat out looking to get back into it. They were already thinking about Friday. Game management.

He was quite combative when he was with us, and not being the quickest he could end up on the late side of the tackle. I remember in the premier league he was feeling victimised by the amount of fouls/bookings he was picking up...claiming that he was the player fouled more often than not. I think due to previous dominance in the other derbies the kettleferg has decided that Draper will be used in the most destructive way when county don't have the ball. Polworth will be glad to see the back of him.

Draper doing for county what he used to do for us...?

That's two games now where we haven't looked as motivated as our opponents, not sure if it's an attitude thing or we are just beginning to see the issue with running a tight squad with replacements who are not up to thestandard of the guys they're replacing. Even guys like tremarco mckay & chalmers are looking a bit jaded now. I think our first 11 is one if the best in the league, but we were beaten by a county team missing some of their top players too. That's our weakness - squad depth is hurting us now.

What an ovation when Kelly got a yellow.

Apart from 5-10 minutes before & after the goal we've been pretty poor, losing the battles for loose balls. County hitting it long or trying to tee up Mullin. He will have much more space 3nd half A draw would be nice.

Play the whistle. Trafford didn't, and was 2nd to the ball.

Yep, tv wins again, wolf down the dinner & hope the game distracts from the indigestion.

But, back on topic, I hope we can cobble together a group with enough bottle to beat this lot tonight.
