    How is young Lyall getting on early on his Morton career, he is a good player not convinced he would be a starter every week in this league though in an ideal world.

    How many do you think will make the trip from fife, 1k, Stand behind goal holds 1800 I think, only Falkirk will fill it this season..

    My biggest issue is the defence, at various times in the second half in the lead, we had only 2 back, RB and Mason gone, McMaster slack pass and like Aberdeen teams were on us, League football is totally different to this cup competition.. Best options at the moment IMO for Raith is.. Watson RB McCabe RCB Wilson LCB Hancock LB that can change obviously if Rhys can get his target signed up, anybody know any whispers..

    I think RB is a bigger issue at the moment Bruce struggled, MacDonald to me looks maxed out in these games, maybe a new CB would let Watson drop into RWB, McMaster really needs to sharpen up also numerous wayward passes today which will get punished against better opposition, when you play your fullbacks so high and get caught like we did numerous times today..

    Are the seeded teams all guaranteed home advantage in the next round.. sounds weird, heard someone mention it on radio on way back from game.

    Surely Mochrie has to get more game time, he is a good bit behind the others fitness wise, he was still in a moonboot less then 4 weeks ago apparently, McGregor has started the season well enough (don't buy into kickabouts) still far from convinced, he has raw pace, has he much else ....

    Apparently that was one of the issues with McGill he changed agents near the end of last season, ironically Rhys never offered him a deal at all, would have thought somebody up here would have taken a punt on him, last I heard he was trialling at Grimsby.

    Agree it does indeed have a shelf life, we have yet to really see how this team performs although early signs are good, I would say as long as Rhys is there the philosophy will stay the same... This season yes looking beyond that ?? A lot of the players we are signing have had a good pedigree for various reasons team have cut them loose.... Mason Hancock looks to be the next player to go up a level again, he is an excellent all round modern football player,... Cammy Bruce comes highly rated and I don't think he is here to sit on the bench (or the gaming chairs we now have), If Mason goes we will need cover, how about Flynn Duffy ex DU. Another Consilium player., you wouldn't rule it out..

    Looks a tidy enough stadium, surely a couple of stands behind the goals (aka Falkirks gazebo) would be fine for away supporters etc... Do QP own it or is it part of oor willies empire....

    As far as I know it's 5 players from the Scottish League, you can have a similar number from players in other associations. (England etc) ..That is my assumption please feel free to correct me..

    I think he is destined for bigger clubs than us unfortunately, we have 2 domestic loans available this window , could well be a wait and see what part of the team needs propped up when it settles down..

    We were very easily cut open with players caught up the park, MacDonald is a trier not helped by the system, to me he looks maxed out against Lower League opposition, I dread to think what a Fitzpatrick of Thistle and others when up against him in the league, we need a CB and Watson can then play wing back with MacDonald as cover that's how I would play it.. Not just MacDonald was caught, McMaster was found wanting defensively as well, he has to show much better awareness, we all know he can pass a simple ball, much more to a defensive midfield player than that....

    Chris Mochrie what's his best position, he is clearly not fit, but seems to have bulked up since his pars days. .

    Absolutely spot on

    Todorov going to a league rival is not unusual, what is unusual is he was under contract, surely we could have got something for him, agree that is poor business which is unlike the club recently.. Let's break the situation down. Todorov has saw little action and has lost his place to a talented striker from across the water, what do players do these days, they go to their agent to moan, his agent is Consilium who provide Airdrie with numerous players most of which of a very decent standard, an agents job is to keep his client happy and play in as high a level as he can, This is the downside when you have so many players from the same stable, it hasn't happened before but could in the future if for example Mochrie on a 2 year deal sees little action, eventually Gallagher and fringe players will do the same Mochrie will do the same, if things are going well , it is great lose your place and players test the market..

    The old fashioned 4 4 2, is gone under Rhys, he does go against the grain in playing young players, more progressive formations and generally sticking 2 fingers up to everybody in media , football pundits etc saying you cannot do this etc, Maybe more coaches could take a leaf out of Rhys book, but maybe when you get your badges you become one of 'them'

    Any rumours to what Danny Wilson's plans area, was he on crazy money with yourselves

    Let's not get too carried away we have sworded two Lowland League sides at home the last couple of weeks. The Rovers and EK, probably the poorest opposition we will face by a country mile this season, When the Championship kicks off, it is completely different, the question I have is , have we improved on our weaknesses and flaws from last season, arguably we lacked experience, game nous, physicality, Todorov ticked a lot of those boxes, have we added enough of what we lacked last season, Time will tell, and after 4 games in the League we will know exactly where the land lies..

    Still think he would have been a starter ,when the league came round, a handful for any defender, will be missed.. No doubt end up at Morton or Raith,

    Frizz is a great player, iMO probably playing at his max level, main issue is, he struggles to do the 90 and lacks pace, in a heavy game he is blowing after an hour or so, if the team and new players evolve like we hope and expect ! Frizz could struggle, the skippers armband could save him though.... Will be a very interesting initial few weeks while the team settles...
  22. Passionate
    He came on for about 25 minutes and looked decent (who wouldn't though 8zip up) big unit is Mochrie, personally have high hopes for him this season..
  23. Passionate
    Very good player bags of experience, can only imagine it's been a fall out with Davidson, I wonder where he will rock up next...
  24. Passionate
    Will be interesting to see how the team settles, Mochrie, McGrattan and Todorov have not really had any worthwhile minutes yet, I think all 3 would expect to play, we have plenty options for once, agree about CB being the only real gap in the squad at the moment..

    Couldn't miss them as you say, has a 'big time' feel to them, Stadium looks good apart from the pink fire exits and the shrubbery growing out the gutters of the AMS stand...... Hard to imagine the stadium has been up for more than 25 years, it still gets known as the new park in certain circles..
