Nicoll to play and wipe out Easton NAP.

I didn't say I was confident?

Elsdon's signing really has made a difference. Balatoni and Rumsby as a pairing was far too shaky and having the extra body there masks their limitations somewhat when they all play together as a back 3. Although the switch to a back 4 ultimately worked in yesterdays game I would be keen to keep going with the 3 unless particular situations in games arise. Especially if we bring in a centre half before the loan deadline that's an upgrade on Rumsby.

We weren't great yesterday by any stretch.....but we got the result!

The last 2 seasons Forfar and Stranraer have had 17 and 16 points respectively although in shortened seasons. As for a full, normal season, Stranraer got 16 points in 08/09 although you could say they were unprepared as they were only promoted into the league that campaign due to Gretnas demise. Berwick also 16 points the season before. Shortened answer to your question - 16

Lucky not to be behind here.

You'll be fine. I'm sure I read that England are scrapping the vaccine passport idea but even if it does stay it doesn't come in till 1st Oct. Was at Old Trafford for Man U Leeds on the opening day then Ewood for Blackburn Hull last week, everything fine.

By my count we had 9 throughout last season (Butterworth, Henderson, Jack, Jamieson, Otoo, Palmer, Ritchie-Hosler, Shiels, Thomson). Although some did come in in the summer before returning to their parent club and some in January so not sure if there's a limit that you're allowed at the one time

Watched the start of it there to see how we set up and looked like Bradley-Hurst Munro Cassidy Docherty Livingstone Mortimer Nicoll Splaine Deveney Jones Andrew

Our only loan player is Euan Deveney who signed a few days ago. Hearing 2 more are immenent though. Loan window ends at the end of this month so imagine we'll see a few deals across the board yet.

Still very early in the season of course but us playing EF and Peterhead away to QP is a good opportunity for results to go our way and pull a little bit clear of the sides we'll likely be battling it out with to avoid relegation. Shame about our pitiful away record.

Done well in his cameo on Saturday Tade but don't think he looks anywhere near ready to start a game yet. Would go with Goodie and Cunningham like the Cove game and keep Tade and Jones for options from the bench.

I was sure McCormack was loaned to Cumbernauld Colts? Gretna have an Aidan Cassidy on the bench too who I'm sure went to Broomhill unless it's a different player never mind, just seen todays article on the OS
