Another shambolic performance. Started reasonably well, controlled first 20min, without creating a chance, then they take over, and score from a corner, nobody tracking runner to near post. A second soon follows, as they convert one of several chances. Ely did clip the bar in our first effort on target on near the 40th min. So we go in 0-2 down at HT and, low and behold, same 11 show up after HT. Eddy totally isolated up front, no help from midfielders.

Lenny finally changes it on the hour mark, going 3 at the back, CalMac starts to play well and we start getting joy down the right especially, Tam and Griff work a reply and we continue to press.

Then just as NL is about to bring on Ajeti & Olie, they score a third when the boy skips past a tame Duffy and sets up a third. They score a 4th at the death.

Overrun in midfield, shambolic in defending, blunt up front, same same.

If we dont win at Fir Park on Sunday, Lenny is toast. Its a long time since we have played so poorly.

A few positives to take from yesterdays cup win-Clean sheet for our make shift defense, Eddy, Bitton amd ElHam back, Duffy decent.

Rogic again that spark we have been missing recently, Lax continues to impress. Finally seem to have the LB position sorted, after spunking 5M on both Taylor and Boli.

We did look leggy second half but saw it out. Aberdeen with no urgency.

Disappointing to hear Forrest out for some time, suspect will be new year before we see him. Hopefully, Micky J to return soon. Still no word on big CJ.

If you need to ask the price, you can't afford it.

Is that so? I can afford but wont be returning until they introduce realistic drink prices.

Anyway, Indian food reasonably priced and good.

Thai food overpriced and average.

Guinnes a total rip off and a <deleted> pint.

Rooftop terrace nice place to chill.

I do agree with this section of your comment.

Great to see both Bitton and Eddy back, Ajer will be a massive loss to us, was in really good form.

It was crystal clear after 5 min of the second half that Nicham was out of gas.

That Lax continues to impress, loves a tackle.

CalMac was a totally different player from Aberdeen game last weekend, tracking back, proper tackles..

Duffy continues to be a bomb scare.

Just wonder whats going on with keeper situation. We spend 5M on a so called decent keeper and suddenly Bain is ahead of him??

Ajer out, and Forrest and CJ looking like they wont be back anytime soon. Hopefully, ElHam will make Sundays squad. Micky J must be getting close.

Chef is Indian (possibly owner too). Best pint of draught Stella in Pattaya, reasonably priced too.

I had indian food, good, and reasonably priced, missus had Thai food good but expensive.

Had guinness, total rip off at 269 a pint.

Nice roof top setting, service good.

Had a guy come and do some fitted bedroom furniture but sad to say, his finishing was not great.

So still looking for some recommendations for some more bedroom and kitchen work, and some lamination. 

For anyone craving some Chinese food, I believe Retox Game on will be having an all you can eat deal on 10th Nov, food being provided by Pimmy, so I suspect UK style.  

Missus tried Thai dish there once, when it first opened and was not good, has it improved?

Maybe other restaurants that want to survive should follow these steps ?

True indeed.

Try Punch and Judy

Lenny's coat is now on a shaky nail following a clueless display at Aberdeen.

You just cannot expect to win games with that sort of defending.

It is also now clear that CalMac cannot play that Brown role, must have given away half a dozen simple fouls.

3-2 up and we should have entered game management.

Rogic did contribute 2 assists and Griff with a neat finish were the only positives.

Ely a let down again, usual Nicham could nae give a dam display and Duffy, what was he thinking of when he was in control of the situation, as for the 2 penalty's, clueless by both ON and CMcG.

Just looks as if players dont have the stomach for it.

If Lenny does get his jotters, who do we turn to? Strachan, Mick McCarthy???

Your right about keeper, not exactly filling me with confidence, along with Duffy, but feel we have little option but to stick with him, not dropped any clangers yet. Sure, FF was the man but suspect financially out of our reach.

Aberdeen are flying, must feel never aa better time to play us. And its one of 3 big games against them-Sunday, cup semi and the Boli game in hand, so if McInnes has got Lennys number, then its curtains for Lenny.

I believe we will get a result on Sunday if he is not stubborn and  picks the correct side. Back 4, and fit in Tam.

Retox Game on.

Absolutely dreadful performance, a bit like all our performances so far this season.

Keeper should have saved first and Walsh should have attacked the ball for second and cut out the danger.

Ely had a chance but woeful effort, when he should have slipped in Paddy for a tap in, Griff did round keeper near the end but forced wide.

How alarming is it to play 90min of football and not force keeper to make a single save?

Nicham was a passenger, Brown was our best player but got no help, Ajer decent and did like the look of Lax.

NL tactics are worrying me, keeps shoehorning a striker, and then it becomes an impossible task for the lone striker.

Next up is Milan at home and then up to Aberdeen. We need to quickly find our MoJo.

Some rumors in Norway today that Ajer is on his way to AC Milan.  But his agent has not confirmed anything. 

Stay till end of season and he will go with everyone's blessing.

Just hope we have the foresight to have a replacement lined up well in advance. 

As the Russian roulette of Internationals continues, 2 more of our players, Bitton and now ElHam are positive, and worrying, ElHam had developed symptoms, so hopefully will make a full recovery.

And you just get the feeling, its not the end of it.

With Elham, Forrest and Christie, we are really light on the right flank, so looking like we will be forced to go 3 at the back.

I used to go to the Robin Hood quite a lot. They did a nice 200 baht Sunday lunch. Now they have strangely increased the price to 300 baht !! Lost another customer.

True but they now have reverted back to the 3 priced SR, 200, 300 and 345B.
