Partick have signed Anton Dowds and now Danny Mullen this window, presuming we’re shopping in similar markets financially for strikers it feels like we could’ve missed a trick on both. Then again with our rumoured reduced budget this year perhaps we’re not. Hope Murray has been focused elsewhere for good reason! 

Mullen is like a 1 in 4.5 game striker. A hard worker, adds to a team no doubt but not necessarily what we need.

Got to raise questions over due diligence and injuries there. The man loves signing players who are already crocked.

Must have shares in a physiotherapy practice.

I see Ricky Foster is available. A natty dress sense and a penchant for squaring up to supporters. Sounds like our type of guy.

Efe Ambrose is also available.

Looking through the few players who were released who haven’t been snapped up, it shows you it’s a tough market this year.

Perfect. Get foster signed up and get his missus to sing geordie munro at half time.

It's the lack of ambition from the board. They want season ticket sales but have us playing a midfielder at CH and Zanatta up front with a bench of kids. We need signings and need them now. Hopefully Murray has something up his sleeve but I feel we might not see much.

Yeah, sign Foster and get in Broadfoot and Toderov too. In fact while we're at it we may as well wheel out Goodwillie too! 

It's been a poor poor start to things in many ways, hopefully it can only get better.

To add more, a 1 goal win puts us 2nd with 9 points and +7 GD, would need 2 of the below to come in to qualify - some more likely than others.

Group B would need Partick lose to Montrose (incl on pens) or Kilmarnock draw with Stenhousemuir or lose by less than 3.

Group C would need Ross Co to lose to East Fife (incl on pens), Dunfermline not to win in 90 against Alloa, or a 1 goal Dunfermline win where they score less than we do.

Group D, E and F can't beat that.

Group G would need Livingston not to beat Kelty by 6 combined with Inverness losing in 90 against Cove.

Group H would need Dundee to lose to Forfar in 90, or QP not to win by 2, and Hamilton not to win by 4.

I was thinking our best hope was a scenario where Aberdeen were already virtually guaranteed to qualify regardless of the result on Sunday but that appears unlikely.

To be fair it was the misguided ambition of the board and manager last season that put us in this position. Recklessly spending money in January and having to spend more to resolve that issue this season. It's no real surprise our budget is smaller because of that idiocy.
