Better, a much needed win and actually played pretty well in second half. Left back a concern still though and not creating enough from open play. Need to keep feeding the wide men the ball, both looked good.

No surprise , we were miles off it from the first minute of pre-season. Easiest Last Man Standing Pick yet.

I'd say Annan are favourites, but there's not much between 4 or 5 clubs, as it stands. In 4 or 5 games time, the picture will be clearer.
I would also have Annan as favourites with Stenny not far behind, we just do not have the goals in the team to really mount a challenge I feel.

This is the most relentless, professional performance I have seen from Dundee in a long time.
It is rather aided by quite the worst defensive performance I’ve seen for Forfar in a long, long time ( which covers some utter dross).

Tonight was tough to watch, it’s going to be a long season.
Only positives were Hussain and Abed looked decent, McCluskey (sans that penalty) and Armour when he came on.
Aitken yet again looking not interested and not hitting the target feels like hearing a broken record, Armour and McCluskey worked better in the short time they had.
Stranraer looked poor and if we struggled against them, I dread playing Bonnyrigg next weekend.
Would agree with that Armour and McCluskey together was the best we have looked going forward this pre-season. I also thought Hanratty in first half and Thomson when he came on looked quite sharp.
There is however, nothing seen so far that suggests we will trouble the promotion play-offs.
Hopefully we can get Flanagan and Keatings fit and on the pitch soon as that should add to our forward options.
Starting to worry that the Whyte injury could be a real problem.

Different team when Armour and Thomson came on, first time we have looked like creating anything.

Not able to make the game tonight , please tell me Slater wasn’t subbed due to an injury?
He was, asked to come off pretty much straight away after a tackle

Tonight is the best chance Forfar have to get their first win of the season. So what's everyone's prediction: win, draw or lose to Stranraer?
Not too worried about the result ( but we could do with a win for confidence) would like to see the defence being a little more coherent and definitely need to see us create some more chances.

Be better signing a half way decent right back.

Thought we were doing okay for depth and then I looked at the bench. Realistically, you don’t want Sanderson, Harkins, Irvine or Hussain playing. Hanratty hasn’t looked brilliant but early days
Yeah, central defence is a real worry depth wise. This time last season we had Munro, Anderson, Fisher , Hussain who could play there with Travis and Whyte to come back from injury. Also with Meechan and Irvine that could cover in a pinch.
At the moment it is Munro, Whyte and Hussain with Nditi that could cover ( but we have no other right back) and a season older Irvine that could cover.
Would say we need at least two more defensive options.

Is he better than Shep or just a same for same?
I would say Armour is the replacement for Shepherd, this lad probably replaces Crossan. Whether either is an upgrade will have to see.

Can’t believe we didn’t put the lights on tonight was dark when they took the penalties.
Also pitch is so much smaller this season.

Better from us so far (barring Nditi’s diving OG). Trialist no.8 looks decent and has put in some good balls from right.

Well it's a home tie, that's nice. Guess we'll not make any progress in this competition.
Unbeaten versus Kelty at Station Park.

It's mental how seriously some folk take these preseason kickabouts.
You are right of course, but having seen plenty of friendlies before have rarely seen such a gulf between us and another non Premier League team. Perhaps this might have been better behind closed doors.

I suspect a lot of expectations have been checked this evening.
Tonight was right up there with the worst performances I've seen from forfar. For those of my vintage, I'm thinking the 6-0 vs Stirling in 1995.
Leaderless, rudderless, listless, lacking commitment, second best in every challenge, beaten to every loose ball.
There was certainly room for improvement.

Are we playing well or are Forfar just having a really, really bad day?
It if both, think Dunfermline are well ahead of us fitness wise as well.

Only took 15 minutes to have a shot this half, improving.
McCallum certainly isn’t again beaten at near post.

Unable to make the game tonight, any info on the trialist’s?
Only that you would hope we don’t make any efforts to sign them.

Sounds like an absolute hammering
Looks like it too. We are miles off Dunfermline, Slater looks like the only Forfar player to have seen a football before.

Not the greatest example really, considering the boys running Darvel are pissing funds up the wall that other clubs don't have, and Forfar probably wanted to keep him.
Yeah, but he was on a two year contract and we agreed to sell him for a fee. Similar a few years ago when Swankie refused to play for us , sold to Arbroath for a fee also.

It happens all the time. 2 year deals (or longer) don't work out and all parties reach an agreement to cancel the contract and let the player and club move on. Who was the last club to pay money at this level for a contracted player?
Darvel paid Forfar a five figure sum just this week?

Sorry to hear that hope he recovers OK. Guess he’s a major doubt for Saturday then?
