It's great to get back to the real stuff. I think we have done relatively well in the group stages since they were introduced only real slip ups I remember are against Rangers and Airdrie and Stranraer winning that bonus point in pens obviously a few tight affairs in there. 

I don't know much about this Edinburgh City side but they had a really poor season last year and had many issues off it as well. 

Confident we should have the quality to get off to a positive start. A clean sheet would be most welcome.

Offt that midfield. 1 up front at home to Edinburgh City. 

No Seddon in the squad which is a worry. 

It wouldn’t be like us to recruit another crock who spends more time injured now would it? :rolleyes:

Like I said earlier this is isn’t going to be pretty today even against such weak opposition.

What was their keeper doing? 

Planning his Just East order for later on.

The lack of creativity is a big problem. Wells grew into the game and was impressive second half. There's not really much else to take from that other than Edinburgh City will be getting relegated again.

We weren't even that impressive and that's probably the biggest mismatch of a football game I've ever seen.  Don't think our keeper even had a cross to take, never mind a shot.

First half was sluggish and a bit raggedy. Probably to be expected for the first match of the season against a side that wasn't putting any pressure on us at all.

Pretty much everything we created came from set pieces, clearly the Edinburgh City manager is going to have to work on that cos I think we could have scored 5 today from set plays.

The two young lads, while not pulling up any trees, looked fine.  You worry though about the number of jobbers in the midfield.  Fair play to Paton for constantly looking for the ball but he's not the kind of guy you want that high up the pitch.

Same as last season O'Donnell doesn't really offer you any width in forward areas and I though Halliday looked laboured yet again.

Goalkeeper and defence had the easiest day of their careers with literally nothing to do.

Need to sharpen up, play at a higher pace, have better shape etc but you'd hope that will come with games under our belt.

Think we do need maybe one or two players in though.  A creative midfielder at least.
