Last season was a whole different ball game to this one though - thankfully in the main. 
We also had one or two more threatening players in the squad, although you wouldn't have known it for the majority of the time.  If I remember correctly, Thomas played well in the Thistle game. We absolutely stole the Ayr game.

Got a big slice of luck in the Thistle game as well tbf, them scoring an OG straight after they scored.

That doesn't fully stack up. Yogi also signed Donaldson, who was pretty much a no-nonsense centre back too.

McPake is doing really well, and Benedictus and Hamilton are great additions, but he was dealt a squad with Comrie, Breen, Edwards and MacDonald - all of whom should be able to excel at the level we're at. 

I was always pretty confident that he'd have us pretty well drilled defensively. The issue was always going to be scoring goals rather than keeping them out. 

Also, yet to see how we respond to losing the opening goal in a game. That will be a test when it happens.

Tbf lost first goal against Thistle and Ayr in final part of last season and came back to win.

I've seen some desperate lashing out after a bad defeat, but that's some pretty wild straw clutching right there.

Aye, an utterly wild take

Sorry but that is rubbish. 60% of his budget was taken up but Holts dross. To clear them out would have added a heap to the budget as you are looking at paying off players Holt had on stupid money. We would not have had the money to do that. We are all aware of the projected loss this season BEFORE you think about adding more finance to clear out the dross. 
I would also wager the Dunfermline budget will be bigger. 

Not with the squad size (or lack of) we've got.

Could have been a gentleman's agreement rather than an actual clause in contract.

loans too.

Post on dot net linking us with a loan for Logan Chalmers. Sounds absolutely wild to me.

Genuine rumour I've heard is Alex Jakubiak, would be absolutely wild to get another striker in before a creative midfielder/defensive cover IMO 

Thought he'd started the season well with Dundee tae. I'd take a striker tbh, I don't see Ohara or Wighton contributing much this season at all. I've no confidence either will score if I see them in the starting line up.

It's a weekend game so you'd imagine we'd play a strong team.

It is actually against the law to be drunk at a sporting event. Got charged with it many moons ago

Lizzie Pars got a 70 seater going through.
