Will easily be one of top scorers in this league

Apart from maybe a right back why would sorting out the defence be a major priority?

I can never understand it just seems certain Airdrie fans like a good moan and negativity and sometimes it's the majority. Only Arbroath had a better defensive record last season if he can build on that this year and add a bit more going forward we will do well in a league which will be hard going. When the league starts I think gallacher will be played up top he got 13 goals in a shite Dumbarton team so fingers crossed he gets more this year. People panicking saying can't see where the goals will come from when we haven't playing anymore from our league yet! I don't think we will have a problem scoring goals at all

Fair enough but I thought we done well in both friendlies. Played ok against partick and think we will get better as weeks progress. Our defence last season under him was good and imo has been strengthened again this year. Also said he wanted to add pace in the wings etc and think we have done that also. May lack a top striker but there hard to come by and if big Leighton can score 15 in last year's team I'm sure gallacher or Smith can this year as well

Yes I do think he's overrated and won't get much game time. Plenty managers can also get it wrong with players. I have watched him week in week out getting ripped apart at times from average players in league 1! Also still don't know what his best position is get found out defending leaves far to much space behind his positional sense was poor and when further forward his crossing was shocking. It's all about opions I suppose but to judge after one game is a bit poor

Seems to be alot of anti Murray fans also for some reason! Seems to be people don't want us to do well. A major clear out was needed and it has been done. If we're sitting mid table after 1st 10 games or so then fair enough but I think we will be far better this year

Don't know how you can say he looks a far poorer player after 1 competitive game against a team from the league above and imo he done well. Looks quicker more skillfull and hopefully has a final ball. Scott Stewart was one of the most overrated players in recent years he always tried 100% put in a good tackle now and then. His final ball and finishing was terrible 9 times out not 10. We have had far better players over the years get hounded by fans but he seemed to be a favourite because he tried. Cookie and strenny ripped him apart for 90mins up there and so did many other players.

Yes your right sorry he played behind Thompson don't think that's the way we will line up all the time when the right back from Motherwell is fit the shape might change and depending on who were playing also. 1st half we cut them open with some nice play on a few occasions just the final ball was a bit off but more positives than negatives in my opinion. Work rate was far better as was our shape and keeping the ball

We played a 3 4 3 yesterday he played right of the front 3 but I'm sure he will be through the middle when the league starts

I wouldn't mind another striker in but still think the team has goals in us when playing in the league . We won't be playing any team as good as partick week in week out! Even after both friendlies people were saying we need a 20+ striker like who? Only 5 players in all of Scotland done that in the leagues last year! Also even though against lower opposition we created plenty chances scoring 5 goals in 2 games which could easily been more if it hadn't been for there keepers! If gallacher gets his chance through the middle I have no doubt he will get easy 15+ for us and other players chipping in along the way. I can see us been solid at the back again and we already look better and quicker on the wings and when we break. Only takes 1 goal to win a game when keeping a cleansheet

Maybe need another striker but there is enough experience in our team. I aslo think if gallacher can score 8 in his last 10 in a shite Dumbarton team I can see him getting 20 or so for us.
