Ross Barkley looks like he's out of favour... maybe just coincidence he was in new Aldi last night with a copy of DGSPC and a Pearl Palace takeaway menu.

Aye still getting match fit... 3rd season with us [emoji849]

We have central midfield players that is obviously why he feels spending any more of what appears to be a limited budget on another central midfielder wouldn't be wise. Certainly disappointed we don't have him in, maybe there's someone else in mind tho.

That's singular not plural.... typo surely?!?!

If I remember correctly he never said he didn't want one but suggested there were other areas more of a priority, but agreed that Thomson would be a welcome addition if funds allowed.

[emoji42][emoji42][emoji42][emoji42] f**k me cant wait until Sat at 2.45pm until the teams are announced and we move on.

Leighfield, no question

Ah well we'll need to agree to disagree on this one eh... football is a matter of opinion, part of the reason we love it. Great chance to get the young lad experience in a game early in the season that we will be expected to take nothing from, it is possible I guess we get a hiding and it takes him two steps back after making one step forward but I hope not. Time will tell I guess.

Incredible eh that a young gk comes across as nervous on his debut... I stand behind the goals, maybe you do too, you couldn't blame one or the other for the corner conceded, both were at fault... move on tho it came to no harm. If Naysmith is a man of his word then young Leighfield will be in goals at Tannadice if the no1 is not available. Personally I feel that's the way it should be. We need to free up the wage that Robinson is commanding and this will only emphasise the fact he is not in the plans.

How irrational are queens fans, really is embarrassing at times.

Let's not be too negative as you can only beat what is in front of you, Brechin were the poorest league opposition we have seen at Palmerston for a good few years though.

[emoji23][emoji23] true, put Connor Murray on the right then [emoji1360]

Supposing everyone is fit what is your starting eleven, not the one he will start: I'll go with this: GK: Martin RB: Jacobs CB: Brownlie & Fordyce LB: Marshall LM: Stirling CM: Rankin & Tapping CF: Lyle & Dobbie To be fair there's not a lot of options. [emoji19]

I think he said that it was not a position he needed to strengthen at that point. [emoji848]

Ah wait a minute he's a right back we don't need any we have two.

Celtic U20 captain Sam Wardrop joins Dumbarton on loan. Now don't get me wrong I don't know him from Adam but the pedigree suggests we should be sniffing about him surely?!

Surely our best player is easy, best 11...... [emoji848][emoji848]

I'm sure he has been quoted saying that 'Lee was not part of the plans and has been told he can move on.. Leighfield will be number two'

Couple of ways to look at I guess: 1. He is trying to bring in too many players on a very limited budget as he feels he needs depth as well as (if not more than) quality. 2. He and whoever is assisting him are not the best at judging players. I guess a part of the budget he has to play with is Robbo's wage though. My guess would be he is on a reasonable wage for our level and therefore moving him on will not be easy. It's unlikely on his performances over the last season will encourage teams around and above us to fork out on him to be a number two. Someone mentioned in a recent post why is Robbie not 2nd choice, probably a couple of things again, GN is emphasising a point that he will get no game time and two he quite simply doesn't fancy him.

????

Negativity or Realism [emoji848] mmh

To be honest nothing he said is untrue. I agree with almost everything he said. The whole season depends on his next (hopefully) two or three signings and his ability to get the players to carry out the jobs he wants them to do.... providing they are capable of doing it.

Thoughts??

Not a daft shout, Pressley likes blooding young boys, I believe 3 of 4 defenders against Morton were under 20. By all accounts they done very well. 'We know our Manners' www.scottishvauxhall.com/new-vans
