The Goodwin effect!

[winchester83]

Don't worry the dream back three are getting their shit together in training Richardson, Roberts and Morris are ready and waiting or maybe just washing Goodwins car.

I'd pay lip service to the mongs within our support and pretend we are trying to sign Scales but have absolutely no intention of doing it (and just accept he doesnt play against Celtic).

Sign one centre back in January that is hopefully better than all of Stewart, Scales, McCrorie and Milne, and then another in the summer when we know Scales will move on and we can figure out what to do about Stewart during pre season.

Full backs. Just sign one on loan in January and look for a Bosman for a pre-contract. 

Remember folk used to say  'the decline continues '.  It's continuing.

There he goes again

"“People make a big deal over formations and you can say the back three didn’t work, but there were a number of individual below par performances on the night that contributed to that. We changed it at half-time, Matty Kennedy came on and was excellent and added some creativity.

Would you pay the reputed £500K fee for Scales in January? That's assuming Celtic are prepared to let him go and that the fee hasn't increased.

On top of that, still need another central defender and a right back. Pay another fee for one, and a loan for the other?

23 conceded in 14 games 😷

not sure I’d be spending money keeping him here. Would rather spend it paying off Richardson and Stewart

Celtic have signed or about to sign another left sided defender from Japan. Would be shocked if thwt didn't open the door for us to get Scales. I actually like Scales and think he's a good defender. Just don't think Stewart compliments him. With a better defender beside him i think he'd do very well for us.

I think Celtic might sell him in the summer but they’d rather keep him on loan this season so he can’t play against them for the rest of the season. 

No laughing at the back, but that might include a cup final.

Goodwin is not in an enviable sitution at this time, having created a defence which is even worse than the one he demolished. The only plus this this season is we have the capability if we score first to score again and secure a win. I have my doubts if he has the nous to build a defence considering his peformance so far with a blank canvas. Never mind the waste of decent money on Morris and Roberts.       Without a competant stucture at the back, this season could be The Duk Show and nothing much else.      If it's the same yo yo results by January Cormack should spin the wheel.

PS Goodwin should do more listening and less talking.

The last paragraph, spot on. Even his recent uttering of 3rd place being between us and the Edinburgh 2 will have raised the hackles at Livvie, and damn near every other team outside probably Kilmarnock. Just keep it buttoned but maybe it’s in his nature to speak the hind legs off a donkey.

It’s worrying that even the Dundee Utd manager seems to have worked out how to organise a defence, something our manager is incapable of.

Too much of the blarney from Goodwin. Sometimes it's better to say fuck all.

when you say simply fuck all..

[Millertime]

11 points behind "rangers", with a game in hand

This is what I mean about the argument "it's so unfair, we have no chance of finishing higher than 3rd with those 2 in the league"

We have it in our own hands to do it

Just beat Livingston, dundee utd, Motherwell, hibs

So bloody frustrating

We had a manager that did that though and it wasn't good enough remember

Think all things considered a very solid 7 out of 10 so far this season. Said id judge him once we got to break for World Cup. Few questionable results and performances but we are third which was the aim. Whats everyone else's thoughts?

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.

Only had one window and got us sitting 3rd. Winning games without Hayes is overlooked too.

Tactically we are still a worry but can’t complain with third. Think the new team tag is gone now. Need to see a bit more consistency especially away from home. If we can improve away from we will comfortably finish third. 

[fine-n-dandy]

Good few other sides have been dreadful away from home too but how do the league tables stack up for all with home & away results? 
 

We must be at least 3rd still (possibly 2nd) on home form as only dropped 3 points but must well down table on away form

Are you suggesting we've been really good at home and really shite away from home? Interesting 🤔

3rd best at home (but scored same amount of goals as both of the Glasgow filth). 8th in away form.

That’s where Celtic have pulled away. Everyone else has a average at best record. Motherwell second with 13 points. We have 7 but played a game less.

Frustrating that it's taken until the last game before the World Cup to actually get the team to defend as a team.

About time we shitfested a 1-0 win.

3rd very much there for the taking if we can add 1 or 2 in January to strengthen the starting XI.

[maryhilldon]

Quite enjoy winning ugly.

[thurso]

We should be closer to first than we are. I’d say it’s a disappointment we’re not second with how bad sevco are. 

[ERNIE]

Ah the return of the 1_0 win ..won't get third without them....

Correct.

Id also prefer that we had the shitfested 1 Nil result against either Sevco or the Minkers rather than the likes of the Jutes who we should be putting to the sword at Pittodrie.

I’ll take the three points nonetheless 👍
