Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Is Euan East in defence today? Seems to be part of the defence drill... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he spent some time at left back in one of the preseason games, so I'd think he'll be there. My guess Rae Gibson Nditi Cooper East Paton Todd McGrory Joseph Connelly RSJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the look of Ruben Junior but thought we were poor otherwise against a very ordinary team. Hopefully still a bit more quality to come in over the next week or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Talks a lot. Liked to see that, especially with East playing out of position. How did Josh Rae do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Pretty meh stuff in all honesty. Of the new signings Josh Rae looks capable and as ANBA says was very vocal. Connelly was nippy and full of ideas at first but missed our best chance and drifted out of the game. Aside from his mistake at the goal Nditi was pretty solid at the back, Cooper looked way short of match fitness but did manage one peach of a cross. Roy was the epitome of average. Ruben was the stand out new player by some distance, a real pest for a back four to deal with, nice and physical with a surprisingly good touch for his size and stature. My MOTM. Paton was a disappointment. He wasn't involved much and didn't really do anything that brought the forwards into play. I thought Euan East was outstanding in an unfamiliar role, and McGrory could be a big player in his new deeper position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Well that was poor. Really? A brand new side, striker playing centre half, left back thats never played with rest of side yet. Genuinely quite pleased with what I saw, take into account were probably going to another 6/7 who’ll mostly go into first team. There was definitely more positive than negatives. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Really don't care about the LC anymore as it's geared for the bigger sides to waltz through*. Glorified friendlies for us. What system did we go with today? I know we're short of numbers right now but does it look like we'll be going with the lone striker (with support) again this season? * Aye the money would be beneficial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I thought there were some signs of promise today. We look very lightweight though and self evidently we desperately need some numbers and crucially some quality in, most likely through the loan market I would think. We knew all that before today’s game though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Agreed. Won't know the players either. Looked fine enough, just looked like he hadn't played much, which isn't a surprise. Never hid though and, as someone said, whipped in a few good balls.Cooper was always going to need to time get up and running. Only in door yesterday and hasn’t taken part in any other games.

Cooper's been here for about 3 or 4 weeks, albeit got injured early in pre-season and hadn't played any of the friendlies. I thought we started: ------------------- Rae ----------------- Gibson --- Nditi --- East --- Cooper ---------------- McGrory -------------- ----Paton ------------------ Connelly --- Junior ----- Joseph ----- Todd but the front five moved around a lot and swapped positions. Euan East absolutely strolled it at the back to be fair to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question for you Skyline... do you think that Heston Rovers scrapping their South of Scotland League team will have any tangible impact on this season's budget through loss of groundshare revenue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
