    correct me if I’m wrong but sabatini got caught on the ball for the 2nd goal, really not seeing the big fuss, think he’s done okay...

    Sabatini has been great since he’s came best midfielder we’ve had in a long long time we just need to get the right midfield round about him and he’ll really show how great a player he is he’s too good for us along with Thomas Robert

  2. Goalkeepers:

    Hutton-Had one save never really was tested

    Currie-Had a great double save was unlucky with the penalty 

    Defence:

    Mcdonald- Added nothing much going forward but was decent defensively 

    Burke-Woeful 

    Fordyce- Solid against big Austin,Steady player

    Kerr-Had a decent game at the back was even better in midfield with his passing 

    Crighton- Experienced head in the second half never really had much to do

    McCann- Same as McDonald

    Midfield:

    Sabatini-Best player on the park for me good feet,Good at winning the ball back decent passing looks a good signing

    McKay - Looks stronger and fitter than last season,looks like  he’s improved his technical ability 

    Ritchie - Had an alright game couple of decent passes, never offered much

    Robert- Class above the rest like sabatini plenty of pace and skill,One to watch for this season

    Stokes-Looks a worker,Never really got a chance to show what he’s got because it was a nitty gritty game 

    Forwards:

    Gallagher-Worked hard,Bit isolated at times and never really got any chances 

    Roy- Least said the better 

    Thomson-Plenty of pace just lacks that cutting edge 

    O’Reilly- See Thomson

    Carrick-Had a half Chance in the second half,Works hard never got another chance

    How was Rohan Ferguson for you guys?

    Struggled,Played behind a shit defence and was thrown in the deep end a 19 year old playing week in week out struggling and couldn’t be took out the firing line,His confidence was shattered,But when he played in the game against Dundee United in the cup shows there’s a top goalie in there and has a load a potential and would probably took him over Max Currie

    If this West Ham thing is going to happen, is it likely to be at the start of August? See that some of their players are out of loan at other clubs until the end of July. They seem to have a good set up and hopefully we get some talented prospects coming in. Tough season ahead and I think if we can get the full squad in place prior to pre-season training it will help the team gel for sure. Might be good to get HR in the dressing room for a team talk prior to some key home games, get the lads going

    Yes

  5.  My team with what we’ve signed so far I think we’re a No10 and another striker away                     

                                    Hutton

    mcdonald Fordyce Crighton Mcann 

                             Kerr.        McKay 

                                      No 10 

    carrick.              Gallagher.            Robert

    As you say, only signing under 30s to sell them on - as has been mentioned up the thread - could only be the plan if we were signing guys on multiple year deals. As we aren't, I can't see how that is the plan. Development fees for guys you've signed and only had for a year or two are hardly going to be a big earner.

    It's a bit of a cliche but you need some experienced leaders in the team. That doesn't mean they need to be over an arbitrary age, in this case 30, but you do need them. Part of the failure of the Wotherspoon/King era was a lack of leadership on the park. The senior pros were Russell, Conroy and Fitzpatrick (who was injured for most of it if I remember correctly) which was not what was required and I think the younger guys at the time suffered as a result.

    I like the mix of our squad as it is, with maybe one addition. We have an experienced option in nets if needed and have good leadership in the back 4. Up front, Carrick and Gallagher have good experience at a higher level. It's just the midfield where I think we might need someone else. Good quality, senior midfielders who can run a game aren't exactly cheap though.

    We’ve got experienced players there,Hutts Crighton Fordyce Gall carrick and even max Currie has played a decent amount of games for Stranraer plus you’ve got the quality of O’Reilly and Robert to come in we’ve got a decent young squad and are maybe one or two players away from a really strong team!

    No signings above 30,   if true why,  surely a wind up

    Because they don’t want to get landed with players like Adam Eckersley last season and was on a high part time wage and hardly played and worth nothing or you can have a young player that has the potential to bring in 100k+ Or progress Airdrie for years to come it’s not rocket science
