I’d jokingly outlined how we were going to win 5-0 (or whatever it was we needed to win) at work the other day along the lines of

“Get an early goal”

“Get another by about 20 mins”

“Get another just before half time”

And then we’d only need another two second half. I couldn’t quite believe it when we went 3-0 after 20 mins and we were way ahead of schedule :greengrin

Still feel a bit sick looking back at that game. If Whittaker had scored that header I honestly think we would have gone on to win that by five or more.

Man, between Jamie's goal and Tavernier's bubble-burster, there was an almost surreal atmosphere. I remember turning to my uncle next to me, and his eyes were mad. It really felt like we were gonna do it for a few minutes.

What an outstanding game that was from one extreme to the other and back again in the last minute.

Walking away at the end of the game the amount of texts I got saying that was one of the best games they have ever seen from lads back in Yorkshire.

I thought it was on at 3-0.

Only actually missed 3 or 4 games through injury. Been available for the rest since he signed.

Anyway, back to the opening post. I really thought we were going to do it when that goal went in. Don’t think I’ll ever go to a game quite like that ever again.

One has bothered to return to Hibs and work hard for us, the other is quite happy seeing out the big contract he got when he forced his way out of Hibs.

Pointing our MacLarens struggles wont make them go away or solve anything. He'll get a goal soon and hopefully that will trigger a return to form.

TBF, they've conceded 14 goals in 13 league games so far this season, or roughly one a game. I don't think that's too bad.


The weird thing is that only Celtc and The Rangers have scored more, yet we're sitting in 7th place.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I was screaming for us to shut up shop at 3-0. If we’d got to half time without conceding it would most certainly have been on, especially as their confidence would have been shot.

I said exactly the same at the time. It's easy to say after the event but if we had kept it tight for 15-20 minutes after the 3rd they would have been in full on panic mode. As it was we kept going at them, got caught out and they knew they had done enough with that goal. Had it been 3-0 at HT and we nicked another 1 early in the 2nd I really think we could have done it.

I said the opposite :greengrin I thought they’d at least sort of sort themselves out at half time so I wanted at least another one by then. The way they were all at sea (as we were later on) was quite incredible.

Only those two have scored more and outside of those two only Livingston 10, Kilmarnock 12 and Aberdeen 13 have conceded fewer than us. We're not far away at all from being well in the mix. But, you know, doom, gloom and carnage...

Goal difference only matters after the points have been picked up. Using it as an argument for how we’re doing alright doesn’t really work when we’re not picking up the points. We could finish the season in 10th with a positive goal difference, it wouldn’t mean we were a decent side.

I think that return to a scoring run is just around the corner. When it happens Hermit Crab and a few others will be gutted, probably say the goals are only tap-ins, does nothing aside from scoring etc.

Genuine question and I’m not trying to have a go at Maclaren by asking it, but what makes you think that?

I could understand if he’d had a couple of good games in a row but he’s not really. Hopefully he does start scoring again but I can’t say anything in his recent performances have had me thinking that it was coming.

Goal disallowed? Shot off the line? Another one just wide? He could've had 3 on Saturday so its not really a stretch to say he'll be back in the goals soon.

So a “goal” that didn’t count and wouldn’t ever count in any circumstances and 2 missed chances? I can’t say I ever thought he was massively threatening on Saturday. Certainly not to the point where I thought “this guys got a goal in him today”.

Dear oh dear!

Yet another thread that has turned into a pop at Jamie MacLaren

My recollection of the match is that Jamie MAC scored a hatrick that day

He got us out of jail do not pass go do not collect £200

He turned a 3-0 win then a 3-5 defeat into a 5-5 draw an acceptable result on the day but not the result we craved or deserved

At 3-0 we pushed forward in droves naively seeking more goals leaving acres of space for Jase, Taverner and Jason Holt to exploit and pick us off at will even old Father Time Alaves stepped up to curve a worldly past Rocky

I remember all of our defenders being culpable at one time or another during that game I even remember Paul Hanlon handling the ball in the box being extremely fortunate to get away with it

We got what we deserved that day and in all honesty looking back we blew it big time at Aberdeen and Tiny.

It was a cracking open game for neutrals defences definately not on top so questions need to be asked in that direction if at all for what in effect was an end of season game that yes we coulda shudda won but once again we didn’t

Questions perhaps need to be asked about our tactics that day but even more alarming is the fact that Neil Lennon did not seem to appreciate or realise that all we needed was a draw against Hearts and he failed to achieve even that.

Someone has already pointed this out but you only need to look at the positions he got himsefl into on Saturday. If the first goal isn’t an OG he’s there to finish it. Unlucky with the one disallowed, waiting on a tap in at the back post if Boyle had squared it. The double block where he might have done a bit better.

He won’t go 4 or 5 starts without a goal.

I am getting fed up making this point on here that he makes runs no other striker on our books makes and with the correct service he will score nine times out of ten.

Jamie MAC gets a hard time on these threads most of it undeserved.
I hope he comes back firing on all cylinders and makes the Doubting Thomases on here eat their words.
One would think that Lenny would say to his players always look up look for Jamie he will be there waiting for the easy ba rather than try the impossible from an impossible angle
Surely it is down to the Coach to drill discipline into his players
Eddie Turnbull used to play defence versus attack in training working with his players going over every match day scenario and possible situation repeatedly with his players drilling into them what was expected of each and every player in his position in every possible scenario
It was a small well drilled organised squad everyman knew his position what was expected of him and most importantly knew the games of their colleagues and knew where to find them ironically most of the time without even looking up.
If a move broke down they would simply start again. A well drilled green machine.
Not only has Lenny to instill these disciplines into his team he needs to gel his team but most importantly he needs to first of all know his best starting eleven
In his defence he has been hindered by injuries suspensions and the frequent international breaks
At the start of the season and especially after the Hamilton game people were asking if the current team were better than Turnbulls Tornadoes?
A month is a long time in football
We have a big month coming up

He’s played 9 games this season and scored 1 goal while offering very little else. That doesn’t exactly make for a ringing endorsement either.

We’re 21 competitive games into the season and what was one of our two big signings of the summer has either been not available or offering very little when he has been available (with what can only be described as some awful performances thrown in there aswell, the two St J games and the Livi game the most obvious ones). I’m not quite sure why there seems to be an attitude that his contribution can’t be questioned.

Agree those figures do not look good but he has excuses.

I am confident he will kick on going forward with the proper service

It is always better to judge a player over a whole season rather than just nine games.

He has the confidence of the Coaching Staff who have faith in Jamie’s ability and our investment but we also have the option of saying thanks but no thanks if the current situation continues.

It is win win or is it lose lose?

I can't stand some of the needlessly aggressive and derogatory stuff that is posted about Jamie but as someone who thinks he's a decent player it seems reasonable to me to be saying both that we want him to do well and that he needs to start showing it soon. Best way to settle this debate and silence the critics is to start scoring goals.

He's a good player who hasn't done enough for us this season although he has his reasons.

He needs to buck his ideas up soon though.
