  1. Last night I thought Gullan showed everything he is capable of being but doesn’t show nearly often enough. He showed a great amount of pace, ability to run in behind, ability to finish with a couple of great goals including the one that was ruled out. He looked dangerous and competent leading the line. Was that because of the level of opposition? Probably. But if he could just replicate that second half performance more regularly it would go part of the way to solving some of our problems up top.
  2. Partick rumoured to be in for Joe Shaughnessy on loan. If true and he’s available we should absolutely be trying to get him in instead. For sure a striker is more of a priority if we only have the money for one more player, but a 30 year old defender with experience of over 200 top flight games in Scotland is exactly what we need to help out our inexperienced central defence.
  3. Personally I’m a bit frustrated with the Berra situation. He went to the manager saying he wanted to quit after the Stirling game and then by his own admission ‘cruised’ through the following game. He left because he didn’t feel he was able to hit his own high standards. But a Berra at 90% or even 75% ability would still be invaluable to us at this very moment, in organising the defence, talking Nolan or other new signings through games and getting his head on anything that moved. Disappointed a professional like him wouldn’t want to give us another month or so of his time to give the manager more chance to find replacements and help us avoid this shambolic makeshift defence.
  4. Aberdeen website article describes him as a ‘left-footed centre back’. May be that he can also fill in at left back.
  5. Arbroath signing a 19 year old centre back from Aberdeen this morning, would make it even more confusing to me if we signed this 19 year old left back from them - if they had a centre back also ready to go out on loan. Don’t know anything about either player but just joining the club of the increasingly worried about a lack of out and out central defenders
  6. Partick have signed Anton Dowds and now Danny Mullen this window, presuming we’re shopping in similar markets financially for strikers it feels like we could’ve missed a trick on both. Then again with our rumoured reduced budget this year perhaps we’re not. Hope Murray has been focused elsewhere for good reason!
  7. Daily Record reporting Gozie Ugwu on trial at Falkirk and played as a trialist in a friendly for them. If he is kicking about looking for a Scottish club then I’d say we’d be mad not to be trying to sign him up. Won’t solve all our problems by any means, wasn’t exceptional or prolific for us previously, but a proven championship striker who arguably improved last season from his time with us and is in the mould of ‘target man who can also put the ball in the back of the net’ - which is exactly what we need to be looking for up top.
