You didn't see us continually lumping the ball long under Robinson then? The style of play may be better this season but that remains to be seen and the signings and 3-6-1 aren't pointing towards attractive, attacking football.

To be fair both times we beat Killie under Robinson they knocked the ball about well but were undone defending set pieces. It seems like they have some good young players coming through as well.

The worst culprits are well past 40.

Mainly because he was rubbish last season and at the start of the summer there was talk of moving him on.

I think we would still get shot of Bowman given a chance. Blyth as well obviously.

He wasn't playing at a top six level last season. I don't see Rangers, Aberdeen, Hearts or Hibs being interested in him.

It will be some statement if we start against Queen's Park with a 4-5-1.

He might not fancy Aberdeen but I doubt he can say no to the pay rise. He has a young family, injury problems and probably doubts over the quality of his team mates this season. He would be mad not to jump at the first good offer.

Moult wants to leave. The Record report he wants to leave. Remember there is more said at these press conferences than is reported.

We are going to be playing 4-5-1. We have Frear, Tanner, McLean (made of glass), Cadden (shouldn't be considered a forward) and Hastie who can play behind Fisher/Bowman. We are extremely short of creative players.

It might free up a wage but any half decent player will want a signing on fee and probably a bigger wage so it'll still cost us to replace him. He looked fat in the preseason photos. Hiding your chin with a beard is a bad look for a 21 year old footballer. He might respond to McCullochs managerial style though and Killie are giving young players a chance and playing the ball on the deck.

A season (or three months) of 4-5-1 awaits.

Apparently he's wanting to move this window. Definitely no chance of an extension.

It's obviously easy to remember the last 30 seconds but the vast majority of what went before that was total dross (with maybe half a dozen exceptions). It's not just Albion Rovers, Celtic and Dundee United at home were as bad we've ever played and the week to week standard was awful.

You do realise we won the league winning 30 games from 38?

It was terrible to watch though and featured the worst result in the club's history. Not a good season in my book, more the start of our decline.

Also worryingly talking about Cadden in "a forward line".

We've had bad pre season results and good seasons before eg 4 nil at Somerset Park. We've never had a good season with shite players though......

I think that given the proportion of our recent signings who have turned out to be utter shite then there is a better than even chance it'll be with a vastly inferior player.

If we sell Moult then our attacking options go from poor to dreadful. Given we don't seem to be in the market for any more creative players it seems unlikely the football will be any better than the dross already served up under Robinson last season.

Bowman is doing well just now because the vast majority of Scottish footballers have been boozing and eating shite on their time off and he has obviously being doing the 'herbal life' cycle.

Cadden is still at the age where he can improve a great deal. Hopefully with a good preseason and better luck with injuries he will make a big contribution this season. Whoever the fitness coach is should be making him his number one priority. Pearson went from a struggling to pass or shoot to the Scotland team in about 12 months. We are never going to sign a sign real quality player so we have work with potential.

Accies bidding 50 grand for Jamie Murphy will never be topped but that's a ridiculous bid.

I doubt he will make the grade but Craigan is a good example of a defender without much ability who made a career. Bobo Balde as well. Good luck to him.

Apart from getting a decent pint in JDs.
