Played in tonight's friendly vs HOB, he prefers to throw the ball out. He was lucky not to be shown a red for a last man challenge outside the box.

Spoke to someone tonight at the HOB friendly at the civil and was saying the next phase is the astro pitch go down.

The ardwick?

Watched a bit of the training at the civil earlier when out with the dog and it looked like we have a centre back and a right sided winger on trial. Hopefully have a few bodies in for Saturday. On paper our strike force should be very good for this level but they need to start finding the net.

The strikers need to be more clinical. We could have easily been in the next round of the cup at half time on Saturday and McCann should be scoring that header but he is doing everything else well except from finding the net consistently.

The problem last season in the transfer market was getting central midfielders in and it is a repeat of that this season. You think our sporting director would have identified this and tried to address it early in the window. I am usually excited for a new season starting but I fear this is going to be a very hard season and some of our support are underestimating some of the teams in this league. Falkirk and QOS will also be able to add to their squads with the extra income from getting through to the last 16 of the cup. We definitely need 5 more signings in if we are going to be up challenging because the players from last season are not good enough.

Think it was Carling getting served in the rennie after the game on Saturday but that could be them using the last of it.

Think its 3.95 for a pint of Carling.

At the supporters meetings they have mentioned Meggle having contacts in Africa and I am sure they also mentioned South America? Other teams are managing to sign foreign players,Ayr signed a French player a couple of weeks ago and Livingston have signed a few.

It was Skerla who recommended Gaspuitis

Hopefully we will see Meggle use his worldwide contacts that we have been told he has to bring in players because we are struggling to sign players in the UK. Some of our starting 11 are not good enough to win us the league or even have us close enough to challenging. Fussball GMBH and the other directors are going to have to back McPake if we want to get promoted.

Yesterday just proved that we are desperate for wingers and a bit of creativity in the team. Why was Hamilton substituted? A tough watch in the second half and has probably cost us a decent payday in the last 16.

1-0 pars.

The main reason we are struggling to sign players is because of the league we are in. QOS have signed a lot of players but if we signed the same players our fanbase would be moaning that they are not good enough quality.

He has not been offered a contract by us.

Think Dorrans will be in a coaching role more than he will be in a playing role this season.

The position we are in we are not going to be players first choice,its going to be a waiting game and see who is available. The way McPake has been talking it looks like it will be the loan market now. We are still 5/6 players away from challenging for the league.

We also play Hillfield Swifts u20s in a friendly on the 22nd in Dalgety Bay.

Saturday proved that we definitely need at least 5/6 players in if we are wanting to win the league. You could see on the touchline that McPake was getting frustrated with Breen.

Signs for Real Madrid.

1935 season tickets sold yesterday morning.

Che Reilly also has one week left on trial at us according to someone who is involved with the Swifts.
