Arachnophile Posted Tuesday at 21:25 Share Posted Tuesday at 21:25 1 minute ago, Cosmic Joe said: Very similar approach. All played a strong side in the first half. We mixed things up a bit more in all three games. Even in the first half we only had about 6 players who were regular starters last season. We also seemed to have changed from 5 at the back to 4. Hinds looked quick & got in some good positions but didn't impress wildly. The other trialists all looked young, most showed some good touches but the second half team looked like 11 players who had never played together before so its really hard to judge them on that. I agree that Mauchin played pretty well although he will have sterner tasks ahead if he is to earn a regular start. Hopefully, there is no great significance in the absence of Thomson, Wilson, Tizzard, Savoury and Welsh . Perhaps not surprising that there was also no sign of McKinstry, Healy or Williamson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of a sudden I feel a great wave of affection for Callum Davidson sweeping over me A chance to play a creative midfielder instead of 3CBs???

HoustonSpider99 Posted Wednesday at 07:09 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:09 I am getting way ahead of myself, but with Bannon away that could be making room for McGowan. I’d always liked McGowan, but hoped this meant we’d be seeing more of Lewis Reid. I felt he could really become a good player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the bench Posted Wednesday at 09:47 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:47 All of this stadium nonsense caused by our complete failure to build a fit for purpose home at Lesser. We’ll be reaping what we sowed for ever on this one unfortunately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More convoluted stadium arrangements incoming perhaps If Hampden is an option for that other team then there appear top be three clash of dates up to end of October (I used October with the idea that they might be better at rebuilding stands than QP). The first one (10th Aug) we're scheduled to play at Lesser - we could go to Livi and let them have Lesser for the day (for a fee) - nice changing rooms and directors box, I hear. Not sure of the other dates - either could switch to an away game I suppose or perhaps a Friday/Sunday arrangement? Whatever the solution is, I reserve the right to complain anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the pull of accommodating the demands of TV money for Rangers games might carry greater sway with the SFA than a principled sense of fair play to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agreement is the agreement. Really comes down to what the terms are and if we’re asked to bend the terms. If we are, I’d expect something to be knocked off the fee. Shouldn’t be doing anything as a favour to anyone. If we offer hospitality packages to Rangers fans, I’m going to projectile vomit all over the gaff. There’s a cost of dignity and self-respect over the value of cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough to get to and leaves the weekend free for other things. But I would want the club suitably compensated for the inconvenience. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauchin did look decent but he should given the level of opposition. Thought Reid was solid in the first half. His distribution in the second half was poor at times though. Gave the ball away and also had a very poor pass back that went for a corner, which probably means Steve Clarke will give him a cap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
