Can't argue with the selection. But we really need Windass to put in a shift, get the boot in and give Hodson some protection.

I don't think we carry enough of a threat if we do that. I think we need to have pace in the team, in the wide areas, which is why i agree with Windass being there.
Big risk though. Have to hope he can rustle up one of his better games.

Good in parts.
Glad to see Hererra getting time and DJ looks good going forward.
Why is it when we get the first goal it changes how we play? It's like we think at 1-0 the game's won and we can manage the opposition. Our defence isn't good enough for that. We need to be breaking teams 3-0 before we think about easing up and defending the lead.

You might be right - we were pressing and chasing back in places - Candeias had a better defensive game than going forward tonight - but players like Windass don't have the stomach for a fight to win the ball back.

Pena and John both were decent.
Keeper played well, no issues if WeS got injured.
McCrorie was solid as fuck when he came on.
Don't rate Cardosa at all, Windass is pish. 
Should never have went to ET, but can't blame the Manager on Windass, and Candeias missing open goals. 
Hope John and Bruno are ok for Saturday. 

McCrorie has done well. 

Bet Sutton never has the blue mic

Is there any update on Windass' availability? If possible I'd start him on the wing and use John as a sub if things are in our favour late on. 

Hopefully a case for Morelos and Herrera to start next game.

Decent stream here fellas. Won't embed.

Hodson playing AND on the bench - now that's versatility

I was hoping we'd start to see a Hererra - Morelos partnership take shape with Miller as (mostly unused) sub

Apologies but the official website and twitter are making a right cunt of this. Twitter has 2 different teams, and website has Wallace starting and on the bench. This is the most recent tweet and SEEMS to be the team. Fucks sake haha!

We need to remove miller from the starting 11 as he breaks up our play and wanders out of position so he is not there to receive the ball.

I'm at the wind up ffs. Stop trying to blow my cover!
However, have never been happy with Tav nor a lover of our keeper. Wallace and Miller I'm now having a love hate relationshp. Kenny shouldn't be starting, even though he has been a hero of mine. Still have a bit of hope for Wallace, but TBH, I'd prefer young guns being blooded. Let's be realistic were never going to win this league at this juncture. THEY are miles ahead of us, but I'm quietly hoping to shock the fuckers.
We need games to get the fluency. Need time to read each other and get that bond.
Forecast a 3-1 victory, but it will be tough going. 
 

Agree with the OP.  Those calling for the manager to go at this stage of the season are foolhardy imo.  The only chance we have of getting anything from this season is to stick with Pedro and give him a reasonable chance to get the players he has brought  in to gel and get their act together.
Even if you don't rate the manager, there is absolutely nothing to be gained from getting rid of him this early.  If we show him the door now, we will probably have at least a few weeks in transition whilst we secure a new manager.  We all know how disruptive that is and how it generally turns out, even more so with the Portuguese & Mexican players suddenly finding the manager they signed for is gone.  By the time, we secure another manager we can probably kiss goodbye to doing anything in the League.
So we get another manager, is there really any outstanding candidates out there? McInnes seems to be the default choice of many but I wouldn't be that confident he could turn things round.  Whatever, we will spend the rest of this season making excuses for any poor performances like we did for Pedro - got to give new manager chance to bring in own players, etc.  Then three games into next season, if we have have another iffy start, do we do the same again?
We need to give the manager time and not react to hastily imo.  The world's most successful club has had relatively few managers during its long history.  Surely, that tells us something.
 
 

Every taig would be crying out "match fixing!" till blue in the face 

Honestly every cunt on here was saying how great Pedro was last week, great signings etc.  Reality check: shite referring decision fucked us, we are a good team but not great, we won't win the league but we have flattered fuck out of His today thanks to that wanker reffing.

Starting to think he's just keeping him in a cage, prodding him with a stick and feeding him raw meat, ready to unleash him against the taigs.

That was special. They all looked hungry, they all wanted the ball. Pedro has them pressing and chasing like they mean it. Been a long time since I enjoyed a game that much.

Candeias MOTM for me tonight.
