We also finished top 6 without Hemmings remember. The main thing for me this season is the getting the defence right. We have better quality into the box now and can't see many better strikers in the market unless we want to scout Holland for more unknowns we'll have to make do. Clean sheets and plenty of them please.

I share your optimistic stance. Just hope they turn up when the real season starts, hard to judge too much based on who we've played so far.

I'm not yet convinced. Allan and Deacon have clearly added much needed quality to the squad. I need to see more from the rest. Wolters has shown flashes, Kamara is looking solid so far and Moussa has had a decent start. Baring in mind this is all against lesser opposition. We'll learn a lot more in a few weeks.

Not sure how it happened, I'd imagine so as he was fine in the game. It's more that a knock as he's on crutches.

Certainly looks that way. From what I hear Wighton's injury may be pretty bad however so he may have to hang on to Haber a bit longer.

I completely forgot about the stupid penalties rule until last night. 3 straight forward wins please just to keep me calm until the real season starts.

If we can get him on a pay as you play kind of deal it would make very good sense. The last thing we need is 3 centre backs getting paid and out long term.

Yeah he's defo on crutches. Fingers crossed its not a serious one for the young lad.

I go back and forth with Bain. When he's got the right attitude he can be a match winner for us. He wasn't at the races quite a few times last season tho IMO. I'd rather have a replacement in now and cash in on him even if it is just a few hundred thousand.

Absolutely. Think we have the presence and talent to play 2 up top long term and all 4 have something different to give.

Based on last night and the ongoing concerns in attack McCann may revert to a 4-4-2 long term with Moussa and Haber as the target men and FEB and Wighton playing off them?

He got himself stuck in and made an impact in the 20 minutes he was given, not a lot of subs get into the game with so little time so credit to the lad. Looking forward to seeing what he can deliver over the full 90.

That familiar sinking feeling that turns into elation. Only the Dee's, yasss!!

Is O'Dea subbed for an injury?

Surprised to see O'Hara instead of McGowan.

Sums it up perfectly, the service and midfield in general was shite! McCann's recruited well in that area now so no excuses for the front line - should now see what they are fully capable of.

Agree about Wolters. Although as a sub I'd rather see him come on than Wighton if that makes sense, that's why I reckon he'll start? To be fair all the new signings bar Moussa (haven't seen him yet) have made their case to be in the starting 11.

Think Haber's 3rd choice at the mo. Wouldn't be surprised to see Moussa start but would like to see FEB start myself. Also might see Wighton start ahead of Wolters, think he'll try give him game time in the league cup.

Not sure about another loan spell, he didn't really inspire when he went to Raith. Think the kids got a lot to offer, just fear that sticking him wide will do more bad than good for both him and the team.

On the opposite scale of physical how do you reckon Wighton will get on this season? Looks like he'll be stuck out wide for the most part where I don't think he belongs. Would love to see him play off the striker if given the chance.

Here's hoping he lets wee Ray know who's boss in a few weeks! Camera's at the ready.

Great shout, Holt's quietly gone about his business in the right way. My only other suggestion would be big Graham Gartland. He'll be a big influence on the team along side Sir Neil.

Nice try, fud!

Still see FEB as our starting striker this season. We know Haber can do a job for us if required so If Moussa can add another dimension I'm fairly happy with that.
