Don’t agree that Connelly’s not confident playing out from the back, from what I recall apart from a couple of time where he nearly got caught - same as any player - he looked ok and managed well with our style of play. JBA was happy enough with him to let Ox go out on loan which, in my opinion, says something about the lads ability.

I’d definitely like to see some of the youngsters get some game time at least. Did Connelly not play in some of the early cup games last season? Maybe it was the Scottish cup and it’s better to keep our no.1 in while the team settles but in AJ we trust so whatever he thinks is good for me.

So tempted to go with Said but I thought Lowry was great tonight with some cutting passes - could be a great signing once others get used to him.

I might be wrong but is it not taken from who votes for them rather than someone picking him? If I’m right then someone’s taking the piss

Know the feeling mate

Hodge seems a good signing who should improve the team, with time still before the window closes I’m sure another couple of bodies will be added in areas where we’re short.

I’d go with Paulsen JKL. Moorman. JGR Sparrow. Longelo Preistman Fadinger Lowry JT Said Sparrow & Longelo playing wingbacks assisting the defence and midfield as required, Lowry linking midfield and attack and the forward two interchanging Could easily replace JT with RCC and not be fussed. Subs coming on when players tire or Whyte to add strength in midfield if required.

Admin could just rename it maybe?

I wouldn’t read to much into that, last season was the same left wing ignored every game with the midfielders more that happy to turn around and play down the right when the pass out left was on. I’ve often wondered if it’s a statistical thing where more goals come from crosses from the right, maybe right footed attackers feel more comfortable with this? Honestly I don’t know why but it’s bugged me how often Longelo and others have been ignored when we’re building an attack. Although I’m happy that others are noticing it and it’s not just me being left footed and paranoid that see’s it.

Normally get 5 but now only 3 - club up £1 - others might do similar but with the prizes up to £400, £200 & £100 not sure if the overall takings will increase.

Definitely a poor game overall but at least we didn’t lose. By my count we had Said hitting the bar and 3 decent chances to score, JT, Lowery & Johnny K, all wasted their efforts. Hopefully we do better on Thursday.

Good result with decent 2nd half performance. Still a lot to do next week but definitely win able. pitch was horrendous and that’s being generous

Really hoping that we can get something here and that Lowry has a great game to help him settle in.

I’d think that the training regime at the moment would be focused on rest and recovery alongside tactics rather than full on heavy training sessions.

Delighted with that result, a tight game but we got the job done although some of our slack play was frightening leading to the penalty.
