  1. I noticed last season that it was quite often the case that teams were getting through our midfield a bit too easily. It was not a big problem as Kelty were head and shoulders above the rest, but that isn't the case this season due to the better quality of the sides in League 1. I would prefer to see a more defensive system used, maybe 4-5-1 in an attempt to make it more difficult for teams to score against us.
  2. Hope they can strengthen the first 11 too, it's badly needed.
  3. Stewart's well known for opening his mouth and letting his arse rumble. Only the BBC could employ someone as useless as him.
  4. It can't be easy for the manager to get the players used to his style of play due mainly to injuries and the on-going addition of players. Would like to see how the team do if and when they get a settled side and are then used to the new way of playing.
  5. I would be delighted with top 4, but I would also be happy if it was mid-table this season, then build for a higher target next season. Do you think the Championship is a realistic target for Kelty, or would you be happy to be an established League 1 team?
  6. Agree with all of the above. Played well in patches, and created enough chances to win but it wasn't to be. Thought the officials were very poor, and the linesman was wrong to flag Doherty's goal as being offside as it was the Edinburgh keeper that had the last touch before Doherty netted.
  7. He's been very good for Kelty so far, been played mostly at right back, but he looked very, very good when had a game at left back.
  8. Beginning to think that there's a curse on Kelty players! Just about as many injured players as there are fit ones!
  9. It was always going to be a tough game today, but a good performance considering the injuries. The injury list is a lengthy one, I hope most of them clear up before next Saturday.
  10. He always gives 100%, but he did struggle at times, but the manager's maybe found his best position. I hope so as his commitment could never be questioned no matter where he was played.
  11. It was much more like a Kelty performance Doherty looks like a decent signing, hope he fits in well. It could be that McNab was playing in his best position, he certainly made some excellent passes.
  12. Big improvement from Saturday and a well deserved win. Hope the club are able to bring in some bodies before the league starts though.
  13. It's still early in the season but today was a bit concerning. I agree that Aggy should play the number 9 role and Barjo should play a true number 10 as it's his best position. I also agree that Martin should be left back with a right back being brought in. Probably could do with a workhorse in midfield to complement Tids. Having said all that Kelty should have won, but today's performance won't win many games in League 1, however there's time yet. Onwards and upwards!
  14. Good to hear that Forster got the mom accolade today, he and O'Ware have been outstanding against the three full-teams. Felt a bit sorry for Higgy today as not only did he have to play out of position, but he also had to face a barrage of high balls thrown at him with the disadvantage of being several inches shorter than Caley's central defenders! He put in a terrific shift though. It does highlight the need for a back up forward for Austin. Next Saturday should give us a good idea as to how the team's shaping up. Looking forward to it already!
  15. It was, it looks like he's come on a bit over the close season but he's still got a fair bit to go until he reaches that consistency. He could be a big player for us this season though. Thought Lewis Martin looked excellent at left back, it would make sense to me to play him there regularly as he was so good, but it's not me that's picking the team! Thought MacNab and Philp played better on Saturday, would either of them be okay at right back in League 1?
  16. Agyemang. He has come on leaps and bounds since last season, I reckon he'll be a big player for Kelty this season.
  17. He started at left back today and he played very well. Moved to right back in the second half and was less effective time although he still played well. Hope he is played at left back as his main position this season.
  18. It's written because it's true! Pre-season matches ARE all about getting match fit. You don't get any points or medals for winning them.
  19. Kelty are a part-time team hoping to be about mid-table in League 1 this coming season. Raith Rovers are a full-time looking to reach the Campionship play-offs, so yes Kelty SHOULD look poor in comparison to the Rovers. Although the latter should have won, Kelty caused them a fair few problems, and that was without two of their best players in Cardle and Tidser.
  20. The Glens played well, Kelty approached it a bit too casually. Kelty played well against Partick Thistle so there's no need for doom and gloom, but yes, they are a bit short and I'm sure that players will be coming in. I always believe that fans should back any new manager coming in and give him a fair chance. The club seem happy to have signed him so I hope he succeeds in achieving what the club are aiming for this coming season.
  21. Credit to the Glen's they were set up well and they were up for it. Kelty's performance was the total opposite to the one that they gave on Friday night. They will need the latter for this Saturday's match.
  22. Agreed, hopefully the squad will be in place by the time the league starts.
