The squad looks like it's taking shape and very strong, in comparison to last year's. The problems I can see are 1. As previously mentioned we are lacking a quality striker. 2. Such a high turnaround in players can result in taking a time to gel, let's hope they click from the off. 3. Our 1st 3 league games are very tricky and could potentially have us on 0 points and playing catch up from an early stage. (Not that this has bothered us in the past as the notorious slowest starters in world football) a couple people stating that we could be potential play off contenders, here's hoping however if we finish 8th......I'll be delighted!

That could've been worse

Anyone else find the 1st round draw a bit uneven? 7 championship clubs in our section meaning a huge chance for us to draw one of them? I get the reasons behind it but a wee cup run would be nice, even if it is only the diddy cup

I'm sure when the pre--season friendlies kick off we may see a few trialists who may give us an idea abut another striker? For all Smith is getting a bit of a hard time, we haven't seen him yet and we may be surprised, other teams may also under estimate the lad to our benefit

^^^ Somebody's a jealous little boy

Just need another 2 keepers to sign now..............

Someone ought to put her in her plaice

Season tickets are good value but we're realistically not going to sell any more than we currently do, pay at the gate ticket prices are ridiculous (we are not alone in Scotland with this) and it needs addressed. By time u go with someone, pint before the game get a programme, half time draw, pie, bovril, pint after the game it's nearly £70 between you, tell me this appeals to anyone other than the diehards? Even the so called 'big' clubs can't get fans in, someone drops their prices and the rest will follow, we won't due to our limited attendance!

I believe the dunfermilne job was touted as a potential job for Murray before which was shot down by all angles. I can't see it being a more attractive proposition now, tbh with dunfermlines current finances he would probably get more money at DU u-15s lol

It's pretty certain that Gary teale isn't going to be at st mirren next season, regardless of their financial issues surely IM will see that as a step up if they come calling, use his experience in this division to take them straight back up and a big job up here or league 1/championship in England beckons. If we keep him for next year it would be fantastic but I don't see it happening.

Alloa sign Michael Chopra, why are we not in for someone of that calibre, surely we are a bigger draw than Alloa, and in need of a striker

Is Antoine-curier not still a free agent? He could surely do a job for us?

Surely there is an untapped market in the junior ranks, local boy Daz McKinnon is a prime example signing for Hamilton while they were in the same division we are and now a mainstay in their team. Before all the doom merchants jump on, I'm not saying that all junior players would get a game but there isn't much of a difference between the top level junior game and it's worth having a look at least, instead of signing promising youngsters that go back to their parent clubs after 6months and we go back to square 1.

Surely riordan is worth a punt even on a pay as u play kind of deal. Even if he gets us 6 or 7 goals until the end of the season, that's more than Nish is likely to get.

Bringing voting for Gordon Brown into a football forum isn't exactly the greatest comeback ever especially as it was directed at someone who has made some valid points. I for one cannot quite believe some fellow fans negativity towards us moving home and improving ourselves as a club with a better home and facilities that will enable us to source income from other means other than ticket sales. As a reasonably small club we really should be embracing every possible option for increased revenue. I for one would be for the idea of moving home to a multiuse facility with a 4G surface which would allow for rent to local teams when not in use by the 1st team, this way we would become more of a community club and give something back

You would think that the cretins that follow the rangers would have more to worry about than coming to us and causing grief, just shows how small minded and pathetic they are (if any trouble does happen) as for Celtic fans buying tickets for our end, well that seems pathetic and purely to antagonize an already tense atmosphere, should just put those 2 teams in a league of their own on some deserted island and let the fans do what they want and let the rest of us get on with football!

How was the game today by any of those there? Obviously a good result but decent performance moving into league business next week?

At the end of the day it's the police who dictate what goes on with regards to crowds in Scottish football, especially when sevco and the other half of glasgows gruesome twosome are playing. If there wasn't so many morons that attach themselves to these so called 'big clubs' then this wouldn't be an issue
