Mmm.... This makes no sense. If a striker could be the difference maker for our season, Butland is equally capable of winning games for us.

I remember seeing Mykhaylychenko make his debut. If I recall correctly, it was away to Falkirk at Brockville? The sun was shining and he came on as a sub and nearly scored from the half way line.

They said the same about Boyd. His goals per game rate almost doubled when he went to Rangers. Shankland will score goals in this team. I have no doubts about that at all as he is an instinctive striker. Our only instintive striker is permanently injured (Roofe). If you consider misses in recent games like Tynecastle (Danilo) and Parkhead (Dessers) and add a Roofe or Shankland into the mix those missed chances become goals. Its that simple IMO.

Would have played Balogun and Souttar myself as this will be our starting CB's on Wednesday.

Agreed. Their attack is quite decent. Can he smuggle a few back in his suitcase? 🤣🤣

Surely not Dessers. Regardless of him fluffing his lines against that lot over at the dump, we need strikers. Dessers will do a job for us against SPL fodder. He's getting up to speed with our team and game. Any new strikers will take time. Just go and get Shankland ffs.

Thought Jack was weeks away from playing?

Remember guys. It's only a friendly...

Likewise DA but I have to be honest a week in bed with a stack of new books to read and films to watch was just what the doctor ordered. The weather being horrible outside only reinforced my guilt free pleasure.

Do these accounts take in the substantial outlay on the new shop, cafe, museum and function area?

I'm not much of a drinker or pub goer. I like walking to clear my head from the week that's just gone by. Usually take a long hike amongst nature (away from people tbh) to get a different vista on things. It always works. Never fails.

Apparently, Utrecht fans are calling for Lammars to be signed on a permanent deal after his debut in 0-0 away draw at Vitesse. He's all yours. PS. He played up top as the main striker.

🤣🤣🤣

I genuinely don't think Clement will be over fussed with the performance tbh.

I hear you but the sample size for getting in a new striker is greater than our need for a LB. We've missed chance after chance (Danilo, Dessers, Lammars) but don't think we've struggled greatly at LB.

Possibly but the doubts were already starting to appear thanks to his failings last season in big games. The start of the season just reinforced that.

Any player could potentially lose us the league going by that logic. Still don't see Ridvan leaving. Would he have played today on that pitch if a deal was in the pipeline?

Not a priority. We need players that will take the chances that we create. A new left back will not win us the league.

Are you OK Gonzo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Over dissecting the result in a bounce match in front of no fans on a terrible pitch in a mid season training camp, is a surefire sign of our truly baffling times.

Agree 100%.

It's not a game. Its a training exercise.

Some of the comments...Jeso. Its a mid season bounce game on a terrible pitch. We have two aims from this exercise. Maintain fitness and avoid injuries (especially on this pitch)

4-4-2?
