    Not sure why we are the worst away game though. 

    Dont take it personally fellas

    Not a quaint town (with pubs) that people might not visit otherwise

    Too far from middle of Edinburgh to go by train and easily  visit ...... you guessed it, pubs, before game

    By same token Stirling not much cop, clyde - there will be others

  2. Comments made as we were putting our squad together worth reviewing:

    when signings are made supporters with experience of watching the players are usually mixed - it’s hard to please everybody - but the fullbacks we signed seemed to be universally panned. Is this proving to be well founded?

    We were told Forbes and wedderburn were both decent players at this level but they would never appear together because of lack of pace. Our game was going to be all about fullbacks bombing forwards and extremely industrious midfield. These 2 “bigger names” seem to be fixtures already. How is it going with them in same team?

  3. Maybe not quite as many but Coughlin brought a few from Berwick and I think more when McVeigh brought several from Albion. Both went well in the short term. The difficulty starts 1-2 years later when he needs to sign players who aren't the low hanging fruit that is familiar contacts.

     

    Anybody who has seen us willing to try a starting XI if the season started tomorrow or a few names at least?

    I haven't seen us but from the vibes I'm guessing if its 4-3-3 then Crightan and a.n.other in the middle? Is Tapping the favourite for that?

    Full backs seemed to be those with most uniformly negative comments, mmh?

    Can Forbes and Wedderburn play together - both slow but able?

    Up front is it Thomson, Orr and a.n.other? who seems most likely?

     

    One thing that impresses in the fact that the squad is balanced. Other years I'm thinking before we kick a ball there's one area where we don't have proper cover. Recent years we have only had 2 natural wide midfielders or not much cover in central defence. This time we have cover across the positions

  4. He said in Falkirk herald interview that he would probably go with just 1 or 2 loanees - more chance of developing them than having larger number who end up not playing. Looking at the squad I’m wondering whether striker maybe option, or goalkeeper (currently only got 1 fit keeper although we played tribalism keeper last night). If we will be playing 4-4-3 we are well placed with 7 defenders and 6 midfielders.

    if we only take 1 or 2 on loan is it really a ‘fancy’ strategic partnership?  Anyway we have done well getting the bulk of a squad together in good time to gel. Some teams got very few signed

  5. What about the coming season? 

    Will we be starting out on a 36 game season? Supporters allowed - full house? Restricted numbers? Covid passports? Testing? 
    Any decisions on what constitutes a completed season in the event of games being lost? How to resolve play off disputes? (don’t laugh)

    Its not really all that far off. Fixtures will need to be announced in advance of games. I know League Cup groups have been drawn

    Judging by the past couple of years and clubs inability to make any decisions my questions may be naive - they might leave it until a day or so to go. Obviously things change but provisional plans can still be made.

    Anybody heard anything?
