The club needs to sell all the season tickets it can .

Most of his CV is lower league,but your correct he’d be at the top end of our budget and I expect our priority is a centre forward . Can Robbo confirm if the triallist from the Thistle game is still around ?

100% This . I can only imagine he’s been made an offer elsewhere that maybe involves coaching . It’s the next logical step for him . I wish all the best if it’s true . This might give the youngster who came on against Thistle and went well (was it Baird or Miller ?) a better opertunity to get some minutes . Obviously Baird and Aero are first choice with Roscoe covering the left , option maybe there for cover on the right . Heard Josh Mullin’s name mentioned on here yesterday . Now that would be a good signing . Anybody heard anything on that possibility?...

Sorry £15

Hearing Albion Rovers are looking for £17 PPV on Tuesday .

Might not need cover , as we may well go 4-4-2 in some games ....

As local as you can possibly get .

Sounds like he may well be east coast based being born in Edinburgh, however he wouldn’t be the first to make that long journey the God’s country . Maybe the Saints fans can tell us wither he is a centre forward or more a 10 .? There are some noises being made of a more local based forward coming in . More of a number ten though . Maybe we can get both , maybe it’s one or the other !

The impact on away fans for PPV is an interesting one , due to our location we never really got huge away supports coming down to Somerset , Thistle apart . So there is a prospect of 6,000 Hearts fans tuning in . Even clubs with our size of supports , Inverness , Raith , Morton, QoS could perhaps get close to 1,000 PPV as the season hot’s up . Dundee , Dunfermline more so . Obviously with match day sales of hospitality , merchandise etc there still might be a gap but maybe not as much as first feared . Even for an old far like me , that was pretty easy yesterday for the Thistle game and for a tenner it’s a no brainier . I’ll probably be virtually attending every away game this season if the service is available. Something about sitting on a winter’s afternoon with a pint and the heating on full bung watching the boys slogging it out at Alloa or Arbroath that really appeals to me . Doubt I’ll be the only one .

To be fair he is keeping Arron Hickey out the U21’s team . At the moment .

Agree with the above , the lad has some football in him for sure , he’s built like a brick shit house , he needs to own that and find the aggression required up here . He would benefit from a Dobbie style old head to talk him through it a bit . Maybe Moff would be able to help him ,but Moff doesn’t really bang them in anymore ! So either we need to find a decent no 10 or Walsh and co need to up it a bit . Very early doors though , we have four games in the Betfred to polish it up a bit ... They need time , this is a major rebuild , the club has done superbly well to put this team together . Just a tweek required and another 10% from everybody .

Looked about 6ft 2in and pretty mobile with some good touches . But it’ll take him some time to understand how we play . It’s pretty hard going up to alone . I was impressed with Reading , proper hard wee left full back . The polar opposite of big Danny Harvie who was more a rampaging wing back. Also Baird seemed to go well and seemed to have big Graham in his pocket , hence Graham moved over to our left for his goal . The midfield three were average . As was the anchors . Lots to do , surely got enough for Albion Rovers though !

Reading !

Breading looks class .

Tomorrow

Only 7 days to go until the Rovers game , with Kerr saying one of the two strikers would be in, in time for the Betfred Cup , did he mean this game in particular ? If so at least a few days training with the squad would be a good idea if possible . If all those stars align then that surely puts us in imminent territory ? On a separate note Aberdeen’s Sam Cosgrove is approaching full fitness and should be about ready after the internationals .

Paton will probably sign and he’ll cover Walsh’s position primarily , in turn this allows Walsh to cover both DZ and LMcC . Of the two strikers one has to be a Drinan sized centre forward . The other is more puzzling . Kerr said a second striker will allow us the option to play two up front , So he could be a no 10 or more lightly a CF to cover the first striker and occasionally partner him . Kerr likes multi tasking .

Striker is priority, a good lump that can chip in with 12 plus goals a season and an ability to hold up and get the three ballers involved would see us all set .

My main concern is if Murdy was playing then Miller could slot in at right back with Houston out . Hopefully Murdy is just being eased in slowly and he’s not struggling . The other issue is obviously up front, however I’d rather persist with McKenzie than get some jobber in . I doubt Kerr is looking for a jobber though . Seems to have a contact at Villa so .......

£15 for the Accies game ? I’m up for that . Pardon my age but how does all this work? Do you watch the game on your phone or tablet or can you hook it up to a smart tv . Genuinely lost with all this tech stuff . On the pricing , like the Morton boy said , if your looking for value for money watching Scottish football your at the wrong door . If you want a club for your kids and grand kids to follow that doesn’t involve battles in Ireland some 300 years ago then get your hand in your pocket and stop whining . Of course if you can afford to .

Let’s make it six , get McLennan down the road , run of 30 games with us would do both of us the world of good ...

Also heard Coventry are back in for LS ... Not surprised in the slightest .

With McKenna going for £3 million plus add ons . Coventry can expect similar bids in the Christmas window for Rosey !

Could be wrong but if Drinan is anything to go by it’s a centre forward we are looking for . If McCall hadn’t pounced on Graham and Rudden for Thistle then one of those might have been in our sights . If it’s a Premier player we’re after ,he’s going to be fourth or fifth choice . Anderson of Aberdeen isn’t such a bad shout but can he lead the line Drinan style .? Don’t know much about him to be fair .

Pretty much agree with the above, this is the final piece of the jigsaw for us, it’s the hardest position on the park , so we have to get a good one .
