With the amount of minutes that both Fadinger and Priestman have played surprised that we didn’t see Ollie Whyte at some stage yesterday 

Yes, we commented on that at the game too. He hasn't looked out of place so far and would have been able to compete physically with, and no doubt annoy, the Falkirk Dramatic Society. Surprising.

I felt we were poor yesterday at the game but when I watched the Sportscene highlights back I think there's be an over reaction. We weren't that bad. I think it's just we are not yet ticking along as we did last season. Last season was An extremely high benchmark. I think I possibly need to temper my expectations to actually see that we weren't that bad and should have won. 

I think a lot of our fans are comparing what we look like right now to how Jens team was playing October to March.

This time last year we had drawn with Clyde, put questionable performances in against Peterhead and Stenny, beat Morton and drew away to St Mirren with barely a shot on target.

I actually think we are a bit further along the journey with this squad than we were this time last year.

Our horizons have just lifted a little, so we no longer view things the same way as we did post Kettleball.

Nothing wrong with that, we should always be striving for better, but we should maintain some realism at the same time.

Very well said.  Yes I think some fans expect us to carry on where we left off but it takes time.  To be fair our part of the hunter stand was very upbeat.

It takes time for players to settle also.  A few already decided Vogt won't make it but there are definite glimpses there and I am sure he will come good.  Moormann looks an absolute find

Taking a positive out of yesterday apart from a point and a clean sheet (happy with this tbh) I really liked Alfred’s post match chat, absolutely no bull sh1t manager talk, I totally agreed with everything he said and it was refreshing to hear. Each week I like this guy a little better.

Totally agree,says as it is,no dramatics,no blame game,always very balanced and his summary of games is how i see it.

Vogt looks to have some technical ability and he looks much fitter than he did when he arrived and has a yard of pace. Getting the ball to him at the right time and in the right areas would help, instead of him having to pick the ball out of the sky.

Moorman will be massive for us this season. But I also though Knight - Lebel absolutely strolled it yesterday.

We look to have brought in 3 very serviceable CHs and thats without McGinn, SOD or Johnny K having to fill in there.

I do wonder where McGhee fits into all of this now, even if he could stay fit.
