Paton offered more to ensure compo. All others 100% offered less had to up offer for Cochrane to stay.

Fair play to Murray's agent getting him a full time gig is impressive. Noticed on the Thistle thread East is playing for them tonight as a trialist. So take he is not coming back at all then.

He was offered deal but did not accept. All players were offered deals on lower wages so no compensation due.

No compensation due for him.

Connor Murray playing for Hamilton tonight as a trialist. Wonder if he has his Casper outfit on

No compensation due.

Would McClelland not be in back 3 before Houston?

Bartley wants to play 4-3-3.

Thought he was good at end of season but another young player and not a forward. Almost saying we can't be sure about Houston fitness.

Good signing for EK as I said I would have kept him.

Could not agree more. We were against a lowland League side for Minimaugh that tells us how difficult it is to recruit. Agree MB has to do well with mostly his players now as if he doesn't it will affect his ambitions as well. Was it not a 2 1/2 year deal he signed? Top 4 would be an improvement but I still believe he needs experience in the side. At the game on Saturday McClelland and McGuffie were the only players I heard on the pitch and we were very young.

Well for what its worth I thought we were totally outplayed for 80 mins today if they had a decent forward we would have lost by a few. Todd and Wilson hobbling off is not good news. With Wilson it is no surprise that's why I thought we may re-sign McGrory to play that 6 role but time moves on. EK had a way of playing we did not were poor in the middle of the park. Cochrane and Minimaugh were easily bullied in midfield and di not take the game to ek. Brown from Ek had the freedom of the park. The right winger had our full backs on toast both halves. I really hope MB has a couple of rabbits to pul out of the hat as with this squad we will struggle big time.

I honestly think it is a sensible move for career progression rather than jumping straight to premiership. Connor Shields done it and he ended down at QP on loan. If he scores 15-20 goals in championship then can take next step plus QP paying good money if rumours are true. Heard we got £15k for him.

Do you honestly want Reilly as our first choice striker. Docherty and Irving are not good enough. I take it MB must have another one at least coming in. As we all expect Reilly to move on.

We have replaced him with Docherty
