Cat right amongst the pigeons there. I've never liked Arsenal.

For some, that’s part of a hidden agenda. Interested to see what the fresh input on Society Board can effect in that situation.

Fair summation. He was invited on as local representative - I believe Mr Burrows had previous offers to do same. Where I think he missed a trick… He could have at least mentioned the good work our club/community trust do to try and tackle some of the issues raised on the show?

Definitely makes sense except to one club director who claimed “because we’ve too many players” when questioned recently… Our under 18’s forming the reserve side is an age old problem - weeks are spent preparing, playing & recovery over time being coached.. think most would back the clubs’ fresh approach.

Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink…

Is that what he’s saying though? Players having to move out isn’t the barrier those being brought in that some think. Manager has been open about non contributions. If you are taking him literally it really is a numbers game with squad numbers he wishes to work with.

Yet, nothing exists in grounds of similar type layouts eg, Pittodrie & our national stadium where funnily enough our Stadium & Facilities Manager is busy within too.

No issue with size or physicality. Disagree with the general point. Inverness were poor, really poor & all it took was energy. We decided to stick with that against teams a yard quicker in pace and thought. Just feel he’s a little one dimensional, turning defenders in our league is the easy part - for a ‘10’ doesn’t go beyond the striker often enough nor play the telling pass when finding the pockets of space he picks up.

Formation of the wall suggests underpinning of the weakened foundations from pitch lower last year

Hard to gauge. I was there for the Tuesday game where he appeared for the second half. All about minutes in the legs so don’t really look past that. I have though seen him lead the line in top tier of West of Scotland league earlier this year & would suggest no better than our development players. Not to say he can’t succeed taking the unorthodox route, just feel some need to realise the step up is massive.

Unlikely. Farmed out on loan the general consensus. Raith Rovers mooted as a destination based on nothing more than they’ve registered interest in the player.

Agree, hard to gauge. Think it’s a spreading thin of various roles for now. Think we’ll look back at the times of Burrows, Grant et all as halcyon days communications wise.

Would Media & Communications Executive be a different role? Just going from LinkedIn earlier this month with promotion from within.

Like I say, not how I recall it. Stuck to his task and nullified O’Hara where other teams had failed. Not the only pivotal action of our team in Kettlewell’s first match. O’Hara won’t have the chance to body him next season at anyrate.

When was this? O’Hara had to get out his back pocket to get in the dressing room is my recollection. I get he’s not rated by some who aren’t decision makers but, at least keep it factual.
