We didnt have the players to play 433 last season and unless we're planning on bringing in atleast two midfielders that are a lot better than what we currently have then 433 just isn't going to work.we have a midfield that contributes nothing but giving away daft free kicks and wanting to pass it sideways,they provide no protection to the defence and offer no support to the forwards.lamie improved towards the end of the season but let's be honest,he isn't good enough,going into a season with him as the main centre half is always asking for trouble.i actually think we could have a very decent front three in woolery,watt and van veen if the service to them is decent enough,yet again how many crosses into the box didn't go near one of our players or aimless punts up the park.im just glad alexander is still on the look out for players as we need them.

Spot on,the glorified friendly and it's only pre season patter is just an excuse for losing to a lower league team,let's hope alexander isn't using any excuses after that.

We better hope that alexander has a couple of midfielders lined up as that midfield again tonight wouldn't look out of place in the league below.

It's a cup tie against our so called rivals from 2 leagues below,I'll call that embarrassed everytime

Nothing short of embarrassing,it's like watching last season all all over again, clueless in midfield,long punts to nobody,fucking disgraceful.

Fuck me,this is pathetically bad

It annoys the fuck out of me that he gets a game for us,he's an absolute imposter.

We have been honking so far

Agreed that's the positions we need to strengthen in,hopefully we have kept enough of our budget to see what's available down south,when clubs down there have sorted there squads out.i would happily wait until the end of the transfer windows if it means getting in some players that will make a difference.

Both simply have to be replaced,neither had great seasons last time out but they were still the best options bar far,I know it's not easy getting players in but we can't afford anymore jersey fillers.

Totally agree,you can get maybe having a poor first half but we look miles off the pace which is the worry for me,there's no drive from the middle of the park,it looks like the problems still persist in there from last season,there was also serious improvement needed in defence but yet we're still having to put up with lamie.

We look a shambles

We didn't have the players to play 433 last season and so far it looks like that's going to be the case again this time.

I think a performance like last night is most likely to be the norm at this stage of the season,granted it would have been nice to have played better and won 3 or 4 but even then we wouldn't have learned much,we win the game got minutes into the legs and ultimately thats what matters.touching on the game though our midfield still gives me real cause for concern,that midfield last night wouldn't have looked out of place in the league below,I know we will have more options with o'hara and now donnolly but our midfield on the whole are just to static,all it takes is one pass and there all took out the game,it was the same last season,we really need to find a better balance in there,it's no great surprise that our two best bits of play last night happened when one of our midfielders actually got forward and joined in the attack,maguire helping to set the goal up then him threading a pass through for watts chance.i really hope the five players that alexander is looking to sign consists of two players that will come straight into the midfield and play and are better than what we already have.the defence worries me a bit to but less so,I think another centre half is needed,again someone that is being brought into to start is what is needed.i would be concerned if alexander had come out and said that the squad rebuild was almost done but the fact were still looking for a few is encouraging.i think when all said and done we will be just fine.

That was a more than decent work out for us but didn't tell us much we probably didn't know already,we still need a few players in,I just hope the 4 or 5 alexander has in mind will be players that can come straight into the team and make a difference,especially the midfield as that is an accident waiting to happen.

We need to bring in a couple of midfielders that are better than what we already have or we will have the same problems as last season,our midfield is far to easily beaten,one pass and there all took out the game.

We're all over the place here

Great bit of play there by queens,our midfield is anonymous here.

Crawford is rotten,I can't believe we kept him on for this season.

Really good set up play there from maguire

That was a bit of a shock carson going to utd,hopefully a change in scene brings a change in his fortunes and he can start playing on a regular basis.he was excellent for us and played his part in getting us to the two cup finals,best of luck to him.

I think fans with season tickets getting entered into the ballot is the easiest way of doing things,we do it for european games and cup finals where season ticket holders get first chance,I've never had a problem with that even when they games have came about when I didn't have a season ticket.im back to having a season ticket for this season and of course.i would love to be picked in the ballot but if not I'll be chuffed for the 2000 that do get the chance to get back to watching the football in person,the worst case scenario is hopefully were not that far away from all being back at fir park and that is something definitely worth looking forward to.

I never expected kelly back even on loan so to have him signed permanently is brilliant.thats right up there with the best bits of business we have done in a long time,those behind the scenes that have made it happen have played an absolute blinder here.

I seen carson could be going back to hartlepool,I'm sure he will be one of our highest earners and him moving on probably gives us a chance of getting kelly back permanently.i really hope we can pull this one off as we seen last season just how good he is and i would go as far as saying he could be the scotland number one in the not so distant future.

I really hope that's true,that would be some bit of business by us.
