PELE

The sooner he is ready to come back the better, if he doesn't leave. He definitely seems keen, which is half the battle.

The ref was poor, but he didn't stop us from being poor. We never threatened. We had a few opportunities, but we were too slow to benefit.

Shame if Sheerin departs. He should have been playing today. He is basically a slower version of McGuigan. Some people may not be keen on him, but he uses the ball well and causes problems for the opposition defence. I feel sorry for Allan. He gets no service. We are pretty toothless just now. We seem more interested in trying to get corners rather than set up chances. What is more worrying is that Miller, Buchanan and Cox seem incapable of making a simple pass. They either hit it straight to the opposition or take too long to make the pass.

Great we finally got Harvests cygnet-ure.

If this Harvest Swan is half as good as Harvey Swann, then he will do alright.

They can call it Orcfest.

Good stuff. A good few years since we had a Scottish one (at least one that I remember). I see EF gave the Arabs a lesson tonight. Pity we couldn't have had a real go at them instead of sitting back every time we take on one of the bigger clubs under Bollan.

Great result for you guys tonight. I didn't think DU were that good. They seem to get worse each season we play them, but unfortunately, we just sit back and accept a defeat every time we play one of the bigger sides instead of taking risks. Although it looks like they will edge the championship, as nobody looks that strong and Shankland will probably make the difference. Good to see smaller teams have a go. Nothing to lose.

Correct. Bookies constantly get it wrong. Cove were not favourites to start with. Only because money has been lumped on them are they now favourites.

Is Blair Henderson injured? I don't think he has played since late last season.

Just my opinion based on squads and results. We will soon see when the season starts.

For some teams it will depend on loan signings. We already have what looks like an excellent one in Dabrowski. We are (fingers crossed re injuries) only a few players short (hopefully loan players) from competing for top three, in my opinion.

If we put our best team out each week, then we will finish in the top half. I am not convinced that Cove will find it that easy, even though they are hot favourites at the bookies. It's early days, but Stenny and Brechin look like they will struggle. I don't think Stirling and QP are looking too great either.

I guessed Allan was, as he has not featured too much in recent games. Sheerin is a machine. I could picture him ripping the staples out and running on to terrify the Hearts defence.

Yeah. I have never seen so many new shirts on the day of release and as you say, lots of younger fans wearing them.

Losing 2-0 to Hearts isn't too bad, but it is still frustrating that we didn't really threaten them. Personally, I would have had Cox, Allan and Sheerin on and had a go at them. We sat too deep and they simply knocked it past us anyway. I would rather have a real go and take the risk of a bad loss in the hope that the tactic works occasionally and we get the odd shock result. Even though Hearts were nothing special, it could easily have been a heavy defeat if it was not for Dabrowski.

I agree with most of this, except the Renton bit. I genuinely don't like having a dig at players and he is a nice guy, but he offers no threat whatsoever, certainly the way he is played anyway. He made one run at the keeper and forced him to knock the ball out. I really struggle to remember any matches where he has actually shot at goal and he is supposed to be a striker. If that's the best you have seen from him, then that says it all. I feel sorry for Cox, because he usually has to chase lost causes and then gets frustrated.

Fitter team won, as you would expect. A bit embarrassing from Hearts diving for penalties against a League 2 team. Referee utterly clueless as per usual. Is Allan not fully fit?

If we go 1-0 up, will there be chants of we want ten.

We could just wear this kit for the next ten years.

I am guessing there was some sort of rule preventing the goalie kit from being a replica of the original all black kit.

I would order a size up. Most of the Errea tops are smaller fitting because of the current style of tops they make. An XL is the equivalent of L in other tops.

I going to stare at the picture for the rest of the night.

Supposed to be. Probably sell quick. You can order online just now.

The sponsor logo looks alright on this one.
