It's just a regular pub called 'The Ochilview Bar' and it'll be open.
I think Arbroath at home is a decent flag day fixture. Larger than average away support, less pressure as most expect them to be title challengers/winner and they have a few injuries which means this is possibly the weakest version of them we'll play this season.

The last time we were flag day opposition, we skudded Montrose 4-1, just saying

For those of you that aren’t ‘The Caley’ fans, you’ve got to admit, this whole saga is just hilarious.
Been saying for weeks, it has fairly brightened up the close season

So fill the squad with players not up to the standard? Then expect them to help us win games when brought on or start due to injuries and suspensions?
Convinced more than ever, that the Watson signing spells the end for Walker, also depending on the Dow injury still think Stowe is done also

That’s enough defenders, now a bit of creativity

The reason Stewart probably played at right CB in a 5-3-2 with Bisland and Wilkie as Wing Backs was most likely due to Steele carrying a knock.
He was not in the team on Tuesday against Dundee but seemingly was there warming up pre game.
When Hamilton went off, McIntyre has decided that rather that he want another forward on and switched to a back 4.
If we’re saying Steele is part of a 3 man defensive formation, Bisland and Wilkie as wing backs, there is no place in this for Stewart

Depending on Hamiltons injury Steele very well may be a starter for the foreseeable future.
Tbf, forgot Hammy went off, but what a waste Scott Stewart is playing at CB

Believe more than ever that Stowe and Walker, at least will be away before the season begins, would have also thought Steele also, might be away, if these happen, think that leaves room for 5 or 6 to come in, also I had concerns about centre mid, no creativity in there, at all

So won't be judged against a team in the league below us? All for for giving him a chance if there was any positive signs, apart from Dow there isn't much to be positive about
Not having a striker or enough players is on the manager,
Are they no in the same league as us

Fancy us today lads. Feels like forever since Iv said that
Tbf, our next three games, should be considered winnable, and possibly qualifying to the next stage, but we need to find a way to score goals

Going by McIntyre's interview I dont think we will be seeing Gallagher starting this weekend. Most likely a 30 minute spell off the bench.
Reilly should be back from injury on Thursday but again he might not start this weekend. But having both back to come off the bench is a step in the right direction.
We cannot go into anymore games with Dow up front

Feel a wee bit for Stowe I think he could maybe be good for us but wouldn’t be against it if we brought another speedy wide man in. Think we definitely need that player with a burst of pace to give teams the fear in wide areas.

Him or Walker

Wonder if we will see Gallagher or Reilly tomorrow. Understand we have 2 strikers signed and will more than likely be adding to that through loans which will presumably come after the League Cup group stage is over however it would be extremely unfortunate and detrimental to us if we had to go into these 4 games with Ryan Dow uptop by himself.
I think tomorrow is going to be a very hard evening - hopefully give a decent account of ourselves.
Talking of strikers, Grady McGrath signed for Cove, pity might’ve done us

I think based on Mark Stowe's performances last year, this year will not be a big year for him at Gayfield, and it would be really underestimating the level of L1 football to think it will be. I'd be very, very happy to be proved wrong
Ali Spalding is also 18 years old so an actual young player as opposed to someone in their mid 20s who is very much close to the fully developed player they're going to be. I wouldn't say there is any comparison between the two, in age, in position, in stage of their career and in the level they've played prior to joining us.
That’s been proven already this pre season, no fit striker for the St Johnstone game, played Dow up front on his own, didn’t play Stowe, who had played up front for his previous club
on squad numbers think Walker and Stowe might be gone before the season starts, so that clears squad room

Spalding at this moment in time seems extremely meh tbh. 2 year deal Jesus…
McAdams is a very good option.
Goalie perfectly acceptable signing, like you not sure about Spalding at all

This all exists in your own head. I wasn't even the loudest "McIntyre out" person on here. There were people calling for him to be punted well before the end of the season. Plenty of other people had similar views to me.
Think I may have been the loudest McIntyre critic, I still firmly believe that with a few games left he should’ve been sacked, but he wasn’t so am prepared to give him a few games

He was there, am sure he part of the warm up

Two games into pre season and I have no clue if we’re any good, defensively I think we’re fine, but going into the season with Goldy and Slater, absolutely gives me the fear, no enough creativity for me
