The same problem is still hurting us , we have no threat up front and sadly Connell isn’t good enough I  would get rid at Christmas and try and get someone else in , The Helicopter maybe decent but he hasn’t had a pre season behind him and is no where near good enough at the moment once he’s fit this may change .  We are fully dependent on Connolly , Easton Stanton to score if not we are struggling 

Did you see his attempt to control a loose ball in the box when unmarked? Bounced off him about 10 yards away - that's not fitness, just lack of ability.

The lack of proper ball control is very visible amongst a lot of footballers these days it seems. Watching St. Mirren yesterday, their striker received a ball into feet that he managed to control so badly it bounced up above his head and removed all momentum from their attack. 

It's a basic requirement to play football and a lot of them are lacking the standard that should be demanded. It's not like they don't practice this daily.

What’s the deal with Jamie Gullan. Anyone know how far from a return he is? Wouldn’t completely solve the problem but would help. Gullan and a fully match fit Vaughan would surely offer a better alternative

Per IM’s pre-game interview, Gullan practiced Thursday and was to be evaluated before the match. It was expected he would not play, but there was a chance he might, however he only had the one or two practices under his belt. He is expected to be back next week, along with Ross. The week after should see Lang return.

The Dundee lot are some of the most ungracious, tedious punters on P&B. Glad we won't have to endure their shan patter for a while again.

100% true, but some of the roasters among our support play into their hands somewhat.

A couple of weeks before we play yous, , what's your predictions ?

Unfortunately, you’ll be hitting us at a poor time for you I suspect. 4-0. These also the chance we beat the pants off Queens Park and get cocky…

As with all Rovers games this season, the first goal will be crucial.

When we've scored first, we've never looked like losing, but conversely, when we've lost the first goal, we've never looked capable of retrieving the situation.

I notice Tumilty got a late equaliser for Hartlepool last night as they dumped non league Solihull out the FA Cup on penalties.
