RAITHROVERS84 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Vaughan was in the gym this morning with a physio..looked like groin exercises to me. I want to love Hamilton, there’s 100% a player there but it just continues not to happen for him. Was a surprise to see Gibson and Kai replace Stanton and Easton and the football get better! I thought Kai would be auto loaned out given his age but that was really impressive albeit against a poor ICT side. Smith was excellent when he came on but unless we get another striker I just don’t see how we can really be favourites for the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent the first half putting high balls into their box for one man against 3 massive defenders. When you play against 3 at the back, you need runners from deep to get in between their defensive line, we didn't have that. Only when the game fell to bits after all the subs did we create more chances. Hamilton goes off and then we put in balls he'd love to challenge for. Madness. Another body up front would be good to challenge, another one to play behind the striker too would be preferable, give a decent challenge to Stanton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SerieA Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Plenty of encouraging signs during pre season. Likely McNeil, Hannah, Montagu, Nicholson all get a good 60-75 minutes against Annan-and possibly some other trialists. Expecting a big improvement at Stirling Albion next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Soze Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Agree with all of the above, also thought Hannah did well in the limited minutes he had. It's also very clear to see that Stevenson and Hanlon will absolutely stroll it at this level. The new top looks a lot better in the flesh than it did in the release pictures, nice enough to make me part with £45, just a pity they are made small, need to exchange it for 1 size up, anyone know if the club shop will be open tomorrow, don't want to drive down from Glenrothes if it's closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog_champion Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Haven’t been to any of the games, but how are we doing overall, I keep hearing from others that we’re struggling in front of goal. I really want Hamilton to kick on this season, but I’ve heard he isn’t adapting too well to how we’re playing. I do understand these are mere training matches 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor lad, knew he was going to get it tight when he came on. Wasn't even ready. Don't know if that was Ferguson trying to prove a point about how bad his squad is. Only have two goalkeepers and ones 16. All the best of luck to the young lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand these are mere training matches Possession wise we are good, so far not given much away defensively, but up top Hamilton is struggling and at times we appear to struggle in creating good chances. Badly need a striker, we need Vaughan fit and if I'm being honest someone with pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mealsonwheels Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) I am currently packing as we are moving home and I came across this cracker of a top packed in with some older scarfs. I think it was the 1995 season but could be wrong. I'm going to pop it onto eBay for sale far too small for me Edited July 6 by mealsonwheels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand these are mere training matches 3 games against lower league opposition isn’t going to tell us a great deal to be honest but good minutes in the legs of most players and promising signs. Looking forward to some competitive games in the cup and sure the players are the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t what I said though. You might take Graham over Hamilton but you wouldn’t swap our front three of Hamilton, Vaughan and Smith for any other teams centre forward options.
