Pleased with that, between him, Rennie and Young we should get some goals. The whole move to Falkirk didn't really work for anyone.

It's an Oliver McDonald apparently.

Nowhere near, £24k per team. Same for Viaplay. Prize money for getting knocked out in round 5 is almost £50k though, in comparison to the £20k we will just have got.

I've been advocating signing Jasu Rely for a while now. On King, I agree the last game showed exactly how he should be played. Freedom to drift off a wide position, and less defensive responsibility. That said, using loan deals on him AND Leslie doesn't seem right to me.

I'm only watching this to see Falkirk papped out, so they've done the right thing leaving it until later in the programme.

I thought Aberdeen were one of the poorest "big" teams we have played against. Really one-paced and not particularly physical either. Usually these teams overrun us with pace and power on top of their technical ability. Obviously the class told with the opening goal but they looked like they were missing quite a bit of spark. Their number 14 was more than a bit lucky to get away with a coward's challenge on Grant; no idea how the referee waved play on. We huffed and puffed and put effort in. Could easily have got a goal. You'd hope only really four or five of those would be starting in our team come the end of January.

I'd sub Rennie and Young off and get them to watch Miovski's movement. Absolutely sensational. Given the team we have got out we are doing as well as can be expected. You can see why Aberdeen struggle against better sides.

It's a stretch to say McCall is our third manager this season as well, and the same article also claims our current two match unbeaten run is our only such run this season.

There are a limited number of loans allowed and presumably very few free agents available (we should have gone in heavier on Edinburgh castoffs). The obvious way to strengthen is through transfer fees, which will no doubt end up bloated. We just need to suck that up at this stage and pay over the odds. It can be reined back in the summer. If the club had been managed properly then there wouldn't be a need to panic.

It looks like Flynn Duffy is off to Peterhead again. This is all a bit embarrassing.

Anyone available for transfer should definitely be considered. I think we are constrained somewhat by limits on loan deals. That said, there are real issues as to why a player that good is a) playing at that level and b) being allowed to leave. Then there's the bizarre Stenny loan deal as well.

There's an obvious improvement and we played pretty well today but we need to turn games like that into wins and get closer to those above asap. Especially as there is a massive drop off if one of those midfielders/centre halves misses out, as Cuddihy did for half an hour. The lack of competent full backs is more obvious when the rest of the side looks stronger. East Fife were terrible, as so many sides in this division are, but got a point. We have rarely played that bad and got anything other than a hiding.

We've not created much outside the goal but we have definitely been the better side. The four players in centre half and centre midfield are so proactive and aggressive in winning the ball.

In fairness, our actual manager was teasing new signings nearly 7 (SEVEN) days ago so fire into the rage-a-hol.

Whyte not playing centre half is one of many missed opportunities. Hopefully his knee injury isn't that bad; was it ever reported what it was?

It is also only the second time in the last 17 seasons that we have started a calendar year with a win.

The minimum we deserved there was three points. The reality is that we should probably have been sitting on a 5-0 scoreline at full-time. It was interesting that we moved to a 4231 and played with the wide players "inverted". King and Scullion found a lot of space behind their midfield and got close to Young. The centre halves and Grant were looking for that ball all game. A proper pair of full backs with the abilty to go on the overlap and we will get a lot of joy. Young led the line like you'd want any lone runner to. He struggled against Stenny but he's more than good enough to get the better of most cloggers in this league. I thought he did well on a number of occasions to secure possession, rather than play a flick-on that was riskier. There were plenty of good performances but I thought that was Scullion's best display for Clyde. I still can't believe he's the same player who scored those two ridiculous own goals last season.

Wasn't even a foul, Bonnyrigg player just fell over him. Another referee giving what he thinks he saw, rather than what he actually saw. Enjoyed that. Three new signings but Ray Grant has made the biggest difference. Any chance we can keep King? Lovely pass to open up the pitch for the first and a stunning third.

I assumed Mulvanny was McLean, given the Killie link. Either way, he wasn't a striker or winger, maybe a wingback at a push. McCulloch was just too weak, no upper body at all. Needs to bulk up. Am I right in saying he's the one that's actually contracted for another season?

There's always going to be a demand for left backs and Swift saw the best of him last season. For all the criticism Duffy takes, Craig would have benefitted from him staying on. I daresay he'll reappear in the SPFL at some point.

Another team turns up at our "home", does nothing really but graft hard, and gets a two goal lead. That is no slight on Stenny who are having a great season and are a really well balanced side. I thought they were much better at Ochilview than today. Leighfield had nothing to do yet still managed to stink the place out by almost getting tackled. Dunachie was desperate to ship a goal all game; getting tackled on the bye line first half, awful pass intercepted first half, then a dreadful clearance which led to the second goal. Him and Grant picked the wrong game to have a nightmare with two centre halves in for next week. Lyon has my sympathy as he definitely tries hard but the fact he's been subbed the last two games to put Dunachie at wingback speaks volumes. I thought Stevenson did okay. Cuddihy has to be played further forward, or on the right. Ray Grant was good when he came on. The manager needs to take a bit of stick though his tenure really starts tonight. He'd obviously instructed them to punt the ball up towards Jamieson and Buchanan, which is madness.

I posted somewhere on here that, outside of the early years where we didn't play as many games, our worst ever was 5 (which we managed last season, not for the first time). Well done to Jim Duffy and the people who appointed him.

It feels like Hynes and Cuddihy are the wrong way round. Sula should be starting. This tactic of hitting the channels doesn't work when the back three can't play a long pass. Games are much better with a gale force wind blowing.

You'd imagine Craig, McCulloch and Mulvanny all missing out last week might suggest something, and the two already gone?
