Helander and Katic would be my current first picks. Goldson was abysmal again tonight, just this time against a team not good enough to punish us for his mistakes.

Katic will never be in our starting 11 whilst we plan to play out from the back.

Really rate the boy but he's much more suited to "backs against the wall" defending.

Goldson needs to get his act together, thought he was poor tonight. Again.  From hero (last season) to near zero. We need him firing as before.

Ha! Yes!

Was thinking the penalty maybe wasn’t worth making a point of!👍

Fair enough mate. 

Great to see Roofe bounce back after his wee lad being ill. He must have had a lot of sleepless nights.

Good 3 points.

Helander never played....

We don’t play our top men in cup games

Think we'ld still be in CL if Kamara was there.

Agree. Kamara AND Roofe would have made a difference. That game against the Slavia Fuckpigs has certainly came back and bitten us right on the arse.

[VanVeenRangers 2,535]

Anyone think Helander could be away? He would command a big fee.

Yes! Hope the wee feller’s doing ok & good to see Kemar getting back into the groove on the park!

Hopefully onwards & for the pair of them!

Disagree. Last season is history. I think we did play our top men.

We missed him and Hagi desperately. Two positive players.

Good result against a distinctly mediocre side, in the draw for the next round but we will still have to improve for Thursday nights game IMO.

If we play like we did tonight we will be more than ok on thursday. Attacking  wise i dont think we have to improve much and defensively i dont reckon we will get tested much. The crowd we are playing are bottom end SPL standard. Play the boys on form and that means Bassey and Patterson have to start.

Wouldn't be surprised if we met those cunts in the group stages (if we get there that is)

bassey and hagi worked well together 

lots of positives 

Won’t see that same team again tho due to rotation 

You mean favourites?

[bluenoz 30,835]

Quite simple, we need a brave journalist to ask the Gaffer about Helander. I sometimes feel the questions are rehearsed.

Might happen, if Tav & Borna were at a covid party.

[mclovin9091 1,388]

My take on the last couple of games (clearly going to be way off) and tonights routine win.

Bassey starts next game, his crossing tonight was decent and far better than Barasic has shown recently.

Tav will come back in for Patterson. Goldson if still fucking about with his contract needs to be sold and Helander the main stay CB, with Baolgun for the time being till Katic gets back to fitness (he's been out a long time).

Davis and Kamara must play every game with Jack being the one to allow one of them to rest when back to fitness.

Aribo and Arfield should never be on the pitch at he same time. Hagi needs to start more. We never missed Kent tonight because of the workrate from Bassey.

Morelos starts unless injured, issue there is that Roofe should move out right and Wright deserves to be starting as well.

 

My 1st 11 for at least the next few league games: Shagger, Bassey,Helander, Goldson, Tav, Davis, Kamara, Aribo, Hagi, Morelos, Wright.

See those dirty bastards got beat Tuesday as well.

[BlueAvenger 10,240]

Just back from the game. Well done to the players we slated and to be fair played well tonight. But let’s be honest Dunfermline we’re fuckin woeful. Some good goals so well done the Champions

Yup, as someone else posted the Slavia game has bitten us again.

They won't pay the 25k to ask.

It seems he’s played less than half the games over the last 2 seasons that Goldson has.

I know he’s had injuries, but he also seems to miss quite a lot of games when he’s supposedly fit - these last 2 for ease of reference.

A strange way to handle what most on here reckon to be our best CB.

We hear that Balogun’s pace is ‘preferred’ in certain matches.

C’mon - the guy is either a top CB, who we paid a big fee for, or there’s more to this than meets the eye.
