I've heard from a reliable source that we may have a Polish goalkeeper on trial on Saturday. Łukasz Skowron has played with a number of Polish teams and has also played in Cypress and Portugal

Checking the stats he's been on the books for a number of sides but didn't actually get a game for many of them. Sounds more like he's backup for Maley.

anyone got any idea who the three bench trialists are?

Nope, none of them stood out for me, thought we looked flat after making our substitutions too, only Knox was really noticeable out of our subs in the 2nd haf, and Peters who came on at HT for Mackin. Thought Mackin looked lethargic and not at the races, Peters did more in his first 5 minutes than Mackin all first half.

Don't think it matters much about the goal crossing the line or not, Hearts could've/should've scored 2 or 3 more with the chances they squandered so 1-0 was a good result for us. Was more important seeing our players pressing and winning balls in midfield, and Mullen looking pretty good too. Peters looked decent when he came on, had lots of energy pressing which Mackin wasn't doing, which helped Mullen out, not having to do it all himself, nearly got a goal too when he got onto a ball in the box. Lots of positives from our first pre season game.

The trialist keeper did well with pass backs, some were pretty wild putting him under pressure, made one good save from a shot hit at hime too, not much he could do about the goal. Would like to see him having to deal with crosses though.,, didn't get to see him having to come and collect a high ball.

 

Hopefully Mackin will get involved more in other games once he has had time to gel with the team.

Midfield is looking good, another impressive display from Keaghan, who had to go off after an elbow to his face. Knox impressed me too, nearly scored as well with his dipping shot being tipped onto the bar, beginning to live up to his hype. Defence got caught out early when we didn't track players back and got cut open but looked pretty solid after that. Annoying to concede right on HT when we had possession and gave it away in our own half with about 3 seconds to go, was nothing between the team up to then.

Up front is a concern though, apart from Mullen we look toothless, we had a few decent chances with passes cutting Well open but Todorov and Peter (I think) arsed them up, and Mackin just looks like he's going through the motions, just something about him makes it look like he isn't really trying, hope to feck he starts getting his finger out once the season kicks off for real..

David Hutton is an excellent keeper at this level. Not sure if he has found a club yet (he's probably fighting them off). 

When does our match thread start? We are coming to pump you on opening day (provided we can recruit some players).

Alexander would be a short term signing but a brilliant one. Not many players been to a European final and played for Livi. Would take us to a rock solid defence, if we can maybe recruit one decent back up - Jesus maybe?
