Costanza

"LP" is not very good. Neither is "LG". Or "JB". Or...............

Much more enjoyable afternoon today and some promising signs at least. Still a lot of things to be concerned about but hopefully a few more decent players signing addresses that. Think it might be time Considine calls it a day to be honest……….

That’s exactly my point. My eleven would be identical to yours. It’s not a good enough eleven. Little other option though.

That’s not a very good looking team imo. There’s question marks in every position. The fact we are happy to have James Brown as our right back says a lot to be honest. He’s fine as a squad filler type, you need those, but he shouldn’t be starting. He would be in our best eleven as it stands though and don’t imagine it’s a position we’ll be strengthening this window given all the other issues to address.

Nae dogs scuppering this one thankfully. Hopefully more on the way soon. Players that is.

Any sightings of this keeper in the Crieff Road Tesco? Starting to get Lars Gunnar Karlstrand vibes here.

Play all the young lads on Saturday.

Hopefully the minutes from the meeting tonight are up to their usual standard.

Going to be a long fucking season this.

The fact we are resigned to having Cameron Macpherson as a member of our squad is depressing enough for me, lets not add to that by playing him in an attacking midfield role. Thank you.

Hallberg has had long enough, we shouldn't be waiting around to see if he is going to sign or not. I quite like him when he is played in the right position but he is far from indispensable. Move on and shape the squad without him. Clark having a setback, and with understandable doubts about Kane's continued recovery, means we look light up front again. Clark, Kane & May all up to speed seems fine as the options but ideally we need somebody else I think. Unfortunately there are a number of other priority areas needing addressed, Hallberg's position is not one of those if we are serious about continuing to play Ballantyne and to give Wee Max a chance. Does Ferguson not also play in that area? Plenty of options, albeit untested at the top level.

The spectre of Crawford hanging about the place contributing nothing just provides a constant, stark reminder of the severe mismanagement of the squad we endured under Davidson. I know money comes into it but to me just pay him off and get him out the building. Lets show that we are serious about doing things properly from now on. I can't watch another second of him dancing next to an opposing midfielder rather than tackling him or letting his man run off him all the time. He's not alone in players I'd get rid of but we'd have very few left if we were properly brutal about it. I'm not quite at the panic stage yet but the lack of activity over the summer has not offered any reassurance about anything.

I see Jordan White's Dad has a new username.

Two games in a row now Martindale has been snaking about Kane. Fear he might be off there. Made instant difference when he came on today.

Decline was evident last season but he pulled one further performance out the bag when it was needed in the home play off match against ICT. Lot of moments in that game but he was man of the match no question. Real end of era feel to him going, quite a unique style of player and not one we've ever been able to properly replace (or will do so). Opposition fans seem to really hate him too which is massive plus point in his favour. Cheers Muzz, been a pleasure.

We should probably focus on getting a functioning board of directors before we do anything else to be honest.

Exactly what went through my head when reading them. Totally naïve to come out with that publicly. It feels as if we don't realise how much shit we are actually in.

He at least has previous experience of doing it so don't think this will be an issue at all. He is ideally qualified to lead a top flight Scottish football club. Roddy can back him up where required. If things on the pitch are not bad enough then have a look off it. Grim.

James Brown is a footballer who would rather not have the ball. That's a problem.

If there was a sport that solely involved throwing your hands up in the air and looking confused then MacPherson would excel at that.

Prize to anyone who knows who "C Tobin" is!

He's on it too early, that's confused me!

Hallberg isn't on that list.

This. Let's stop pretending Bair is ever going to be a viable option. An expensive mistake, we need to move on from it.

St Johnstone are the worst team I've seen at Rugby Park too. And McDiarmid Park for that matter.
