Parscelona

Mate of mines is a Dundee fan so went along to see them play Raith on Tuesday. El Bak certainly wasn't playing with the same confidence he showed with us, one of his key attributes used to be his ability to trap a ball, yet he just constantly kept giving it away each time. The Dundee fans don't seem to enamoured with him either.

Meh. Really surprised he's stayed in all honesty, Johnston didn't exactly play him much.

Probably will be Shankland, he's played upfront with McManus in the past.

So three signings, two of whom were part of a side who got relegated from our league and a dude who hasn't played in a year... Awesome.

Raith are clearly going baws out this season. Could be financial turmoil if they don't go straight back up.

Looking at the squad, i think Murdoch, Ashcroft, Morris, Higginbotham, Wedderburn and Clark are players of the quality for a side pushing for a promotion play off spot. No clue how M'Voto will fit in, the likes of Talbot and Williamson are average enough, though i had hoped the latter would have progressed a bit further than he has. Can't say i'm fussed about McCabe going, in fact i don't think we should have kept any of the players who have left so far. Paton's the only player whose future still needs resolved, yet is he good enough if we want to move forward as a club? For me, the likes of Martin, Cardle and Hopkirk aren't cut out for this level, how Hopkirk managed to get a two year deal despite not even being a regular when we were in League 1 is bizarre. Still a long way to go if we're going to have a team that's good enough to push for a top four finish.

Someone just score a fucking goal plz

What a f**k up

Tony Andreu has done f**k all in any of the televised play off games. Now that i've said that, hopefully he does something.

Pleased Moffat is gone, as mentioned, he was signed to score goals, yet his league goals record for two of the three seasons he spent here was very poor, with only four goals last season, i'm glad AJ has realised that we need someone better if we're to push forwards as a club. Can also see Geggan going, he probably prefers playing in central midfield yet he isn't likely to get that at us anymore, plus Ayr will probably offer him a 2 year deal that we're unwilling to do.

He should improve working under a decent manager tbf

Put him in central midfield with Big Nat.

It all makes sense now, M'Voto signed a deal with us and deliberately fucked up to send the Rovers down to make himself an instant fans favourite.

Is there any Pars fan who actually rates Reilly? Shame AJ never got him in on loan until January like McMullan/Herron as you would think he would be back at Tynecastle by now. Hoping we can bring in a new forward and a proper right back before the window closes.

Pleasing.

You would have to be pretty naive to think otherwise.

He's third choice now, he'll soon be fourth if El Alagui signs. Not sure what the point in keeping Hopkirk was either tbh

Looks like Johnston has realised Moffat's not up to scratch in this league so the signing of Clark is a very welcome one. If we can bring in El Alagui as well that would be pretty ace.

If Higdon signs i get the credit for being the first one to suggest him lads. Edit: In regards to Lafferty, he's got to be for the U20s otherwise that's not a very inspiring signing tbh

He fumbles every shot at him if it doesn't go in.

I reckon someone like Michael Higdon would be ideal for us. Currently a free agent, has a good scoring record up here and played in the same Motherwell side as Higginbotham.

Last night was a lesson in about being clinical, Inverness were ruthless when the chances fell their way and really impressed me with their second half display. I'm not worrying too much though as i'll be surprised if we come up against a better side this season. If we get pumped at home by Dumbarton next week then i'll be concerned. Think what last night did show was that we're still needing to bring in a couple of new players. Haven't really understood the criticism that Wedderburn has been getting from some of our fans, i went to the Arbroath game and i thought he kept things simple and done a decent job, if he was playing last night i don't think we would have been as overrun as were in midfield. Also, Reilly being out for the game last night showed how weak we are upfront as we're only left with Moffat who as reflected by his time at the club will miss a lot more chances than he'll score, so bringing in a striker is a major priority.

How many games has Skacel played since he left Dundee United in 2013?
