We've all had our tup..pence worth.

Same for Mbappé.

I think we'll lose another 3 at least of our starting xi but going into a season with about 4 starters is the norm for us so it's hard to be any more nervous/worried than I'd be any other year. The board got it right with JBA here's hoping they've done it again and we are a decent watch again this season and get that illusive cup win.

Click goes the shears boys

Well we’re shot of him as well. So this preseason’s going swimmingly in clearing out the deadwood 😙

No amount of bleating will change what happened

The Shear audacity of it! 😍😍😍

It was obvious he was only out to fleece the club...

Be amazed if he was that wet behind the lugs

completely agree with you. Avoid becoming the wealthiest club in the championship - at start of last season, playing attractive football I would have early doors be happy with 8th in the league. Ive got similar hopes , too many variables and dependencies to expect anything more. Albeit willing /wanting something better. Personally feel we should be further along in securing new players but appreciate that's easier said than done.

So why predict doom & gloom? You admit there is a possibility we might not f#ck up the re-build?

It is very unlikely that we will see anywhere near the same levels of performance both by the extremely attractive football we played when at our best last season and how we finish in the table. And to be fair that is absolutely fine and reasonable to not expect a repeat because that was always going to be very difficult to repeat. If, for example, we finished bottom six after a pretty mediocre campaign but nowhere near relegation then we could probably look at that as a positive, certainly if that is what was being offered to us right now. It doesn’t work like that of course. The key thing which will determine how our season goes will hinge on who we are able to bring in between now and the end of August and at this point we still have time to get our squad sorted.

Less of an issue for me watching it from my sofa on MFC TV.

I was more concerned about getting sunburnt that day 🤪🤪

I was more concerned about Slattery in that game.

So we need then a goalie at least a backup centre back - lost Gordon and Welsh but replaced one with Moorman. Critical with the injury to McGinn and O’donnell being another year older. Felt our good defensive record last year was because we kept the ball so much so as we are likely to lose watt and have lost slattery. Will Wilson develop or will he have another year out on loan? 2 midfielder to replace watt and slattery bonus if creative. Would like to see Ross and Whyte get more game time but if we are to make inroads in Europe numbers would help. winger seems in the building already with Vogt but likely to lose tawanda. a creative/ attacking midfielder will also be needed if we lose Just. big years for Cook and Said Striker up front with losing hendry we need cover will stama be the main man? think we need another striker as at least a back up. Thor seems to be injury prone so need 6 players a goalie a cb. Three midfielders and a striker.

After 16mins at Clyde I was all for punting him 😆 Couldn't possibly have foreseen us getting £800k. I reckon Matty could easily play the European ties in required style so plenty of time to recruit another keeper if required.

Know how when doing his weekly predictions on Football Focus Mark Lawrenson had Liverpool going undefeated for something like 5 years straight? Same, but different.

It'll come down to what the manager wants I guess. Maybe he'll look at Connolly and see a starter in him? I think if we're all honest, we likely never saw Ward as the clear number 1 for Jens last year at this time, and it worked out that way.

Just a brief mention in the Rancid Allan. No more details.

One thing we need to do is give Alfred time and a chance to implement his style and bring in players. Jens a very hard act to follow and at any club its always difficult to succeed someone who was so popular ( not quite a legend though 🤪🤪). I have feeling he must have had an inkling we would lose our best players We already have 2 players in so lets see how things go. COYW

Very true pal. Hopefully our scouting team will be looking for similar style of goalie. I just was never really that sold on Ward, goes with my best wishes though

The problem is, we don't play like an old fashioned team. If the new manager has been brought in based on continuity around how we play, as we've been told, then an old fashioned shot-stopper isn't going to cut the mustard.
