Goalie has been a priority for me since JBA’s style of play become evident in the league cup opener against Clyde. Hopefully we are trying to move Ox on and bring in a quality replacement. That and an assured centre half top of my wishlist.

I think we could be looking at two of each, especially if one or two that have sat on the bench so far can find a club. I’d like a goalkeeper too but that’s maybe wishful thinking.

It’s a real struggle to separate the two fullbacks and Watt but I’l go for Johnny for his goal saving intervention at the end. Related to that, how fit do we look? Stark contrast to last season where we typically done after 60 mins. Whilst not in the conversation for motm, a mention for the captain. He recovered well from the sclaff and went on to be a driving force in the 2nd half with some real intelligent runs and passes.

Thoroughly enjoyed that in the end. Our powderpuff efforts at goal were frustrating but we cut through Rangers at ease and if we had a prime Theo in the team, we’d have won with a comfortable margin. Don’t want to get carried away as there are obvious weaknesses that need to be addressed but there is also obvious potential in our signings. St Mirren away will likely prove a sterner test but if we match today’s endeavour, we shouldn’t be far away from a result. Interesting few weeks ahead I suspect with incomings and outgoings.

That would be my take. Any offer would need to factor in how much his previous club are due but if we can make anything close to £500k profit on a player that is yet to prove his reliability, I think we’d be willing to make a deal happen. He’s presumably one of our top earners so freeing up his wages alone would let JBA find someone that is better suited to the system.

I’ve been really impressed by Watt so far but Tawanda’s clinical finishing deserves the motm award.

Fadinger and Watt the two standouts for me.

Agreed. As encouraging as some of our business felt last week, the spine of the team is obviously key to success and ours needs addressing. JBA did hint that he has to be patient in trying to acquire some of the players he wants. I think we will be pursuing a quality centre half, midfielder and possibly a goalkeeper. Striker probably depends on the perceived robustness of Stama.

JBA will definitely want his own man in defence, someone with the physical attributes that is also comfortable with the ball. Hopefully a commanding goalie is also on his radar.

I’m quite excited about this signing. Careful not to get carried away by a YouTube reel but when I watched Elijah’s the other night, it reminded me how I felt when Ojamaa was first mooted. The squad starting to take shape now. A proper left back, centre half, wee Al and possibly a goalie depending on Ox’s injury and we’ll be well on our way.

Given how creative Macron have been with other kit designs this summer, the cooling towers may have been a more fitting touch and more pleasing on the eye. I also don’t get the shade of blue. Two below par efforts for me this year.

Likewise and me underestimating the pre-match traffic didn’t help me either. No game has got the juices flowing quite the same since but the sound of Ainsworth’s strike hitting the net will live with me forever. As well as Baraclough, Burrows also played a blinder. He set the tone by standing firm on the ticket allocation.

Looks like a few of us on here were right with our hunch then…

Casey did his job, few others did.

As I say, just a hunch. Beyond his charm, I don’t think there is much substance to what he says. Of course, his messaging to players may be far more convincing but if it is, it hasn’t translated onto the pitch in the last three games. The lack of any response to a poor performance to St Mirren gives me cause for concern. Beyond that, his Bristol Rovers appointment falling through in December due to work permit issues may have some onlookers speculating that a job in Scotland wasn’t on Wimmer’s radar until that disappointment.
