We will have a much better idea once many of our international players, playing for their various countries, return from the Euros.

Those were the days!

Might want to take into account that it was mostly youth/reserve against the Can Cans First Team. It's a more than decent result on a day that was the epitome of summer football that everyone missed out on last summer. Granted we should've slotted home the first pen or the rebound, but otherwise it wasn't an overly awful game. Sure it dragged a bit at times, but again, it was more or less schoolkids against an actual football team

Regadless of opposition it gives the coaching staff an oportunity to assess levels of players attitude, concentration, fitness, team support, interraction and all sorts of abilities under different circumstances. It also guages and promotes togetherness, willingness and hunger forTeam selection when the season starts in earnest. Yes goal fests are great to see but remember our top players are playing in wekened sides and have suddenly found themselves having to be more aware of what is going on around them as well as playing their usual roles. Gratifying to be getting clean sheets though. Brora, although still Highland league, will be a much more challenging proposition for us and if we perform well there I for one will be saying that is good progress.

As Robert says, any concern is not about the result but the fact that most of our first team isn’t ready to appear in a friendly yet.

Did you have a tenner on Matt Hancock still being Health Secretary on Monday ? There must be some reason for that level of grumpiness following a gentle pre season workout which, when all said and done, we won.😁

I thought pre-season was about getting the lads up to speed. It actually makes the scenario worse because it's a complete waste of time. What did we learn from the exercise? A load of kids who will barely feature in the league can beat an HL side. Some people seem to have a serious dose of the happy clapping!

***** result in all honesty. 0 - 1 against an average HL side is **** poor. How the management can be happy with that is beyond me.
