oh god i hope we've got someone lined up to replace stelios because sean kelly even at this level is basically hopeless at anything physical or pace related

Isle of Dogs the worst Wes Anderson film I've seen, which means its still pretty decent. Looks great, has a brilliant cast and the soundtrack is seriously good. However, the plot is seriously wafer thin. Still a fun watch.
7/10
Three Billboards out of Ebbing, Missouri Good performances from Harrelson, McDormand (when is she not good) and Rockwell but it's not quite what it's been hyped up to be.

Auchinleck- the thinking man's New Cumnock.

That free-kick by Armstrong is absolutely sexual.

I'm really likely the way Ketts and Ferg are doing their business in the transfer market, including the summer. There's clearly a long-term plan in place for the type of player they want and they're not scared to give youngsters who have impressed at smaller clubs a chance as we build for the future.
I also like how it's just us signing the same players who tend to ping around the lower levels of the top flight and upper levels of the second tier and rotate clubs, much like managers.
What I've heard about both I've liked, so very happy with our business so far.

I would think that's us most likely done with signings this window now, otherwise when (if) everyone gets back to health, we'll be totally overloaded with players.

that's Semple confirmed as well.

Not really, he's never really been a regular goal scorer at this level and didn't score that much for us last season at all.
He's not great out wide.
He's the ony player outside of Midge and Mullin that is willing to take players on either inside or outside. DKD has struggled this season as he just isn't willing to go on the outside and Midge prefers to go inside though he can go out if needed. His final ball is often rubbish but there's far worse options out wide like Stewart.
And yeah, I didn't realise McManus got most of his goals at Morton while they were in League One.

Having done some contracting work for the Home Office/Immigration Service a few years back, I can only confirm that they're a complete mess, with teams doing basically the same job wanting totally different infrastructure and legislation which if they think is too similar to another team's will throw a huge strop and refuse to work with it.
It was an awful year dealing with that contract, so I doubt they've changed much since 2015/16.

Seriously impressive amount of work put into that- more than a large amount of the Scottish media know about County.
I veer from liking to hating the home kit, so I went for the simpler red away kit this season. Feels a bit less staunch.

As mentioned, Armstrong is widely expected to sign with County in the next couple of days. It's a disappointment he didn't stay at Stark's for longer, but towards the end it almost felt like he knew he'd done enough to get a move to a club at a higher level and would rather establish himself elsewhere as opposed to kicking about for another 4 months while we wait for the playoffs and pray for a miracle.
On his day, he can be exceptional. As Bunglebonce mentioned, he's popped up in various positions and clearly wasn't shy about taking shots. Towards the end, it was a bit detrimental where we were trailing in games, and he'd go for the spectacular rather than maybe finding a better option, but we've got a few who are guilty of that. He's quick, but can sometimes be a little one dimensional.
Can't fault the lad for joining a team who are very much in the mix for a return to the top flight. There'll be a few folk bitter he didn't make a decision sooner, but he can hardly announce he's leaving a couple of weeks before the end of his contract or folk would question commitment.
We're often seriously shy about taking shots from outside the box (Vigurs and Mullin aside), so if he can get them reasonably close to the target more often than not, I'll be happy. Transfermarket says he's a left footed right winger- can he play both sides?

What about McManus at right wing? His final ball is often sub-par but he runs with the ball with a lot of pace and has very good movement. Thankfully Graham was on the correct wavelength yesterday.
McManus is a weird one, he's proven he can score goals at this level but at the minute looks like he'd stick his head in a bucket of nipples and come out sucking his thumb. He's direct and has pace, so if need be he's a better option out wide than Stewart, at least.

We need to stop putting square pegs in round holes. Draper is our best midfield destroyer, he's needed there for the dig he gives us.

What was McIntyre's hit rate for you lot with signings? More successes than duds? He didn't seem to go on as mental signing sprees as Adams seemed to every 6 month but I still vividly you remember still have revamps every so often under him.
His list of signings:
- Lewis Toshney
- Martin Woods
- Terry Dunfield
- Jamie Reckord
- Craig Curran
- Cameron Burgess
- Marcus Fraser
- Darvydas Sernas
- Ruben Palazeulos
- Rafa De Vita
- Abdoulaye Meite

- Chris Burke
- Jason Naismith
- Jim O'Brien
- Oscar Gobern
- Milan Lalkovic
- Sean Kelly
- Jamie Lindsay
- Thomas Mikkelsen
- Billy Mckay
- Ross Draper
He's better percentage wise than Adams for me in terms of hits to duds. But you'll get a fair number of both.
Note: Some of these were signed twice (loans then permanent) also Midge and Irvine were here before he joined.

I don't really see where Polworth would fit in our side to be honest. On his day, he's got class and can change a game and mostly bossed the 0-0 draw in Dingwall but from what I've seen can drift out of a lot of games. We really need pace in the team and Polworth isn't blessed with it.

Are you lot still paying the same level of wages you were when you were in the top flight?
Apparently between Saints and County for Polworth, last time I remember us going for the same player was Brian Graham, a few years back, and we couldn't get close to your offer.
No, everyone that remained took pay cuts.

Well that's Mullin suspended now as well...

Flashback to Motherwell last season when Davies was taken off and Kenny had to deputise at centre-back
That was my exact thought.

I saw Stelios in the DW gym last night doing some cycling and stretches on his legs, he looked like he was moving around fairly well, so hopefully he's not too far away from a return. I really do not want to think about Kenny at centre half, charging out of position like a drunk rushing a burger van to get the ball.

I'm pleased we've now actually got a fit left back for the Queens game and a ball winner in midfield is nice as Draper will be in defence no doubt.
Some wide players, please.

Cheers, we've been majorly lacking creativity and flair this season so hopefully it's a good fit for all concerned. We've signed a right footed winger who we played on the left at the weekend and was always cutting in too so maybe Ray plans on using him through the middle behind the striker.
I'd like to see how he does in an extended run a team playing him through the middle. He's reasonably quick rather than truly pacy, but has good change of pace over the first few yards and can curl them in from outside the box.

Keillor-Dunn - talk to me. I remember hearing reports on the radio praising him last season but aside from that I don't know too much, reckon he'll do a job for us?
He's frustrated this season.
He's capable of some real class at times and is more than capable of beating a man but looks like a central attacking midfielder pushed out wide more often than not so far. Has refused to go on the outside at all, even if it means cutting in and trying to run past multiple players.

What happened with the boy Dykes for you boys? Just utter stools or didn't get a look in? I think we are sniffing aboot!
What little we got to see of him definently showed promise, good on the ball and I thought he'd be pushing alongside Paton for a start in the first team.

I do miss the days of seeing MARK HARD on Sky Sports news.
He's the total opposite of Kenny- decent with the ball at his feet and can occasionally ping a worldie of a pass, but for a guy who must be near 6'3" he's abject at physical situations.
