Let's come back at the end of the season to see if I was that far out. Every team in the Championship last year from 4th to 9th place got beat between 13 and 16 times. In all probability we will not win the league or get relegated, we will probably end up somewhere between 4th and 8th or there abouts. A little glance at last years table will show what I said is realistic. Edited July 6 by Long Suffering Bairn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was comfortable on the ball and read the game well. We didn't out him under much pressure though. Aye game was feisty at times (often involving Mackie). Decent run out all round I thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's actually a right back, just filling in there due to injuries but he done well. Felt sorry for Luke Rankin as he didn't have much service today but by christ the boy knows where the net is, brilliant finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBairn Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Decent exercise for the players. Impressed with Adams and McKenna. Adams asked to play CB and comfy on the ball and running forward, nice passing and made himself available. McKenna looks big and physical, a grafter I thought, not easily knocked over - useful player this season for sure. Noticed McGlynn kept the back four on for full 90, likely wanting them to gel, given our shortage at the back, good management there. Noticed McCann’s out of his moon boot trackside, hopefully see him back fit soon. Morrison and Lang presume rested today. Looking good and getting fitter. ETA - give Honeyman more game time please, he got in behind a few times on his short spell on and would like to see more of the lad.

Hopefully he'll be starting every week in the SPFL this season 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressed for someone so young and hoping he might find himself on our bench this season rather than on loan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make some really fair points but for some reason there are nutters who think we will automatically romp our way to a promotion push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at ease and some terrific crosses. Just hope it’s nothing serious with Tam and Morrison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Made the mistake of pulling up some gobshite on the Facebook page who was getting overexcited by the disaster of only managing a draw with lower league Alloa. Really painful reading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I think this is where the fanbase need to be realistic with expectations next season. We don’t have a huge squad and we are going to get injuries, we haven’t had the luxury of the pay outs that some of the Championship clubs have and we don’t have rich backers. We are a fan owned club and no matter how it goes we need to stick with them. We stay in the Championship and build on it, we have the support to progress but I think it might be a case of building gradually. I hope I’m wrong though and we smash the f**k out the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatapyBairn. Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) Luck with injuries will be hugely important for us this season if we are to really push to be in those promotion play offs, our strongest 11 is as good as or not far off anybody’s IMO but we are quite light on depth of quality, particularly in defence and then also up front if McIver is out I don’t see a like for like replacement in the squad , Shanley has been promising but it’s hard to say just yet how good he actually is without having seen him start 4 or 5 games on the bounce.

I hope I’m wrong though and we smash the f**k out the league Good post, as soon as the celebrations calmed down, took stalk of the forthcoming season and how the club would react going forward. Very happy with all the decisions on players signed and resigned. The STs have been way ahead of expectations. The merchandise has been the best that I can remember and proud to say that I’ve be able to get one of the invincible limited edition tops. However back to reality and after today’s feisty game, and McGlynns post match interview, more than concerned with our CB injuries. Donaldson has now missed nearly three months and with Tam out it’s very worrying. Add Morrisons injury and really hoping it’s not the same issues that needed Morrison & Tam to go surgery. For me thought we’d need another CB, we’ve got four weeks till the real football starts, hopefully it all comes good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
