Yeah, apparently. 

The only upside to signing May would be watching you desperately trying to cover up your crushing disappointment. As amusing as that would be for two minutes, I'm not sure it's worth it. 

I can't see the May of recent years getting a game ahead of Shankland, Sow, and Clark. And we still have Cammy Smith and the kids after that.

Therefore, a waste of money when we have other positions more in need of strengthening.

So if we sign May thats 

$hankland, Clark, Sow then May.

I'm assuming its going to be Sow and $hankland as RNs (deffo not mine) preferred two. Again, assuming and hoping hes going to play two strikers - Sow being up front and $hankland playing off him. Hope young Lawrence isn't expecting much help up front!

I really think the board have gone balls out backing the manager. If we dont hit the ground sprinting like Usain Bolt and we're not top of the pile by November then the heat will be on Robbie.

It is looking more likely that Frans will be moved on, given we have Hall training with us. I would think Booth might also be on that list. Don't want too much more upheaval but we definitely need to shift some bodies from the squad (Aird and Loemba still being the obvious two). It will be telling what might happen depending on the squad tonight. Apart from the known injuries you would think that anyone not involved tonight is out of Neilson's plans.

It's presumably still a work in progress as it's weird there's no mentioned of players like Ross Graham or Scott Banks.

Happy enough with that tonight. Looked pretty solid in defence. Struggled to get a grip of the game in midfield but still made decent chances and there are better players still to come into the team. Drawing away at Hearts isn't ever going to be a bad result.

Pleased with the contributions of Appere and Banks when they came on. I'm not anti Connolly but suspect there's an upgrade coming in for his position. Butcher and Harkes (and presumably King) will be an improvement in midfield.
