Genuinely thought Loy and Austin were going to tear the league up.
I texted my pal at half time in that game and said we're going up this year

I see our game with Hibs has been chosen for Premier Sports. What additional money do we get for that?…
17 grand.

I'll say it till I'm blue in the face but Morrison is a far more effective player when he's played as an out and out striker. He doesn't need to worry about his final ball as much, he can run directly at central defenders (who are often big immobile lumps) and he has more chance of getting in behind to good effect. The best we looked last season was when we briefly played Morrison and Dowds up top.

As I have said before looking for us to fail so the previous regime are not shown up too much.
Not every post on here is driven by an Alliance system akin to the outbreak of World War One

With the competitive stuff coming up It'll be interesting to see if McGlynn brings in one or two this week, and hopefully lets a few go out. One thing I will say if it is Ugwu that is signed and deployed as a lone striker he's going to need a helluva lot of others chipping in with goals and assists. That sadly is glaringly lacking in this side unless it's addressed before the league season starts.
We're going to have to get goals from across the midfield and attack unless we strike gold in the loan market. Can we potentially get 40 league goals between eg Ugwu, Oliver, McGuffie, Morrison and Nesbitt? Potentially but I think that's what would be required at a bare minimum.

Been given names of a couple of strikers coming in on loan,not sure on the quailty of the source though.
Brian Graham and Euan Henderson.
Is this the two signings you told us about three weeks ago?

There's also the need for FFS numbers to grow, which are at around 500 which is 25% of ST holders go fantastic potential there.
I know with FSS you're paying for fan ownership as a concept etc etc but even at a tenner a month you're asking fans to pay another 50% into the club on top of their season ticket. 25% of season ticket holders doing so isn't a terrible number imo.
It's a tough one because I don't think you'll see that number drastically increase until performances improve on the park, but you need the membership numbers and finance from FSS even more when the team is worse. I'm not sure how you get around that other than word of mouth to try and get existing members to encourage their friends and family to sign up.

They are part of the solution but the club also needs other revenue streams to increase (advertising, merch etc) to plug the shortfall/ increase budget.
If we improve on pitch performance it'll increase revenue as well extra fans through the gate, televised cup ties and prize money. That would also shift extra merchandise and make us more attractive to sponsors.
I appreciate thats not a groundbreaking new concept and everyone wants us to improve, but I think we can speculate to accumulate a bit without risking the financial future of the club. I know you're not saying otherwise but your post mentioned revenue streams so thought I'd piggyback off it.
I would also say I'm not advocating just signing any old dross in a panic and would rather we waited for a better player than sign another Jaime Wilson.
My understanding is trialists can't play in the League Cup so I'm guessing it's stick or twist time on Yates this week. My own view having seen him once and hearing from pals who were at the Stranraer game is he's worth a go as a young player with potential but I'd hope we're not relying on him as a starter, at least initially. Good find though since I'd never heard of him until his name popped up on here about 25 mins into the Killie game.

These players had the same trigger when Rennie came in, McKay, Hetherington, Wilson etc and still were gash.
I gave the full squad clean slate for Rennie and the usual suspects were still terrible
We are maybe saving cash on the washing, socks shorts and tops one wash together
The only thing I will say is that Rennie was a diddy who was miles out of his depth, whereas John McGlynn is a football manager.

Like the tens of thousands that were spent on an unfit and uninterested striker in January?
Why was that money spent at all if there is now nothing in the pot to field a competitive team? You’re looking at at least 2 decent players who could’ve been signed this season instead.
Findlay Malcolm is probably on buttons but that's another wage we're tied into from the second half of last season.

Eh no. The reality is a huge slug of the budget has been taken up by Holt/Sheerin duds. Until they can clear some of that mess what do they do?
Complain endlessly about the previous regime?

Oli Burke is heading back to the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen for some reason.
One goal against FC Energie Braunbruucken in the Pokal and the usual suspects in this section of The Forum will be in raptures.

We've still got over a month to go before the season starts . All that matters is the 11 starting that day. Folk panicking already .
The season starts in 10 days. The league is more important but we shouldn't just be writing off the League Cup.

Aye he's ok going forward when he gets his gallop on and has a decent delivery but defensively he's woeful.
You must've been at the games I missed last year

SkyBet have us joint favourites with Dunfermline fwiw.
Still work to be done but getting promoted out of the league this season shouldn't require a "miracle". We are short going forward and lacking creativity as it stands but we should be relatively solid at the back and into midfield.
Williamson is a massive concern for me too if I'm honest I have no faith in him at all. Worryingly slow and you couldn't fit a fag paper under him when he jumps. We should be looking at other right backs as a priority imo.

The social media cocked it up. It's been known for weeks now that the 23rd was the opening weekend.
Wasn't one of the commonly cited uses of "entry fees" from Colts was spending on improved social media?

Did people watch the games with Griffiths with their eyes shut last season?

Young trialist who started the game in the middle of the park was tidy on the ball and got on it quite a lot but he never once looked interested in making a tackle, just jockeyed his opponent until they popped the ball off
He took the ball off Lafferty twice, got his body in the road and won fouls both times. Did the same with another player off the top of my head. He flitted in and out the game but you can't say he "never once looked interested in making a tackle".

2026 tickets sold when I got mine half an hour ago.
Be interested to know whether any crowd for this is in the budget. Could it be an extra player for the season if we can get 2,500 through the gate?

ScotRail said if drivers begin doing overtime again a full timetable could return within 10 days.
Presumably that'll be the proper 2019 style timetable rather than the kiddy-on "full timetable" they were running earlier this year which had significantly less trains than the good old days?
