i thought we missed Vigurs composure and his ability to see a forward pass, a boy with talent like his shouldn't be sitting on the bench watching players that arent as good as he is...i would have played him instead of McBain. Black didnt really rise to the occasion unfortunately. i thought imirie and duncan played well. i think brew was going for experience, cant understand his decision to start wood, saying that wood put himself about. unlucky not to get a draw at the end.

true...sometimes players are complaetely different in games to what they are like in training...so that would make sense to at least see how he is in a game.

heard from reliable source that he isn't as good as what we already have and is pretty average....and has normal pace...i guess we haven't found our much needed rapid winger. which is a shame.

i just hope brew plays our 'passing on the deck/ball' players i.e black, vigurs, duncan, imirie, rooney and cowie because if we just boot the ball up the field celtic's dodgy but massive cb's will clean them up all day...celtic's weakness is their defence and if we get the ball into strikers feet then we might have hopefully a chance. we need the whole team but especially the ones that can make things happen (the mentioned players above) to be on top form. great tester for blackie to really prove himself on sat which i hope he does.

does anyone know what game is been played alba on sat and what time?

where did you here this?

its a bit concerning of how many games they have lost, as last season the team were also very young and look how well they did. okay they dad have vigurs(19 at the time)Duff(18) and hart but you would still think they would still manage better with the loss of only three players, then again, vigurs cruised at that level and hart was solid. maybe i just answered my own concerns. so do these results suggest we have no other youths coming through with the same quality coz i have seen the players in the reserves play and none of them come anywhere near the quality of vigurs and duff.

I see what your saying i just think a 2 year deal is best. for instance look at cowie...great season last season...this season struggling to get started for whatever reason that may be. black has so far this season been top notch but he hasn't proved himself to be consistant...quarter of the season isn't enough proof...i hope he does sign but two years would be ideal I think for both club and player. you have to agree consistancy is paramount. on his part no player wants to tie himself down unless your talking tens of thousands of pounds a week and he certainly won't get a 5th of that at caley...we all know that caley pay the lowest wages in the league so a player with potential won't want to sign longer than two years. football is such a short career that you cant sign long term deals with low paying clubs and unfortunately caley are one of those clubs.

I think a player like blackie won't tie himself down for longer than 2years, it's not in his best interest to do so. I think if he signs it'll be two years at the most and I think that would be best for both club and player to be honest. I really hope he signs, but it won't be anything more than two years.

i showed a little concern with how many clubs he had been with earlier, however, if these reports are correct then seems like we might be lucky with this one....lets hope.

a bit concerned with how many clubs he's been with...not the best sign...either he doesn't settle down for long or he's no good.

ok IME, it would cost a lot more to sack brew. pay him off and get a new manager in than to get in a much needed reliable CB.

Who was that? Zadi is 6' 2"....pedantic I know to be fair Alex your correct, Zadi is only 6'2". i'm 6' and he was only a tiny bit taller when i met him.

yes i maybe should have put that in there, obviously i dont think we should buy just anyone of that dimensions, he needs to be able to play as well, i just thought that went without saying.

we definitely need a 6'3 plus CB that's for sure, we really struggle to win the ball in the air in defence as our defenders are usually smaller than the strikers they play against...now i know heading is all about timing but we do need that pressense in the CB roll. possibly a player that can play both RB and LB effectively. we have enough midfielders. we need an experienced striker to guide our younger strikers.

can't believe some people on here are having a go at markus...the poor guy has had no luck with injuries, he has obviously decided it's best to resign from the club for whatever reason, i doubt it's for any reason other than the right one in his and the clubs mind.

if all players are fit this would be the team i'd like to see start: Fraser Tokely Munro Duff Hastings Duncan Cowie Vigurs Black Imirie/McBain Rooney

just back from the game, oh the attendance was i think over 6000. em i felt we were unlucky today, maybe deserved a draw, we missed blackie in the second half i think. just need to get that ball in the back the net, bounce of the ball in the box maybe against us but we are creating chances, just need to finish them. individually i thought our best players were black, vigurs, duff and cowie. barrowman put up a good fight against the two big horses at the back, however, it was our two ian's who were again passing the ball on the deck every chance they got...black and vigurs look frustrated at lack of movement from other players in the team...top football brains these two, maybe noone else on the same wave length...its a shame. all in all a bit unlucky to lose the game, a draw a fair result.

yeah i reckon brew should stick with same team and tatics as last week too, i thought imirie playing up front with barrowman was effective. that leaves the ball players in midfield such as blackie and vigurs to get the ball up to strikers feet. i hope for all three points but reckon it'll be a draw.

Brew said in one of the papers that those who had been given a one year contract still had a lot to prove so don't expect contract talks to start this year. yeah i think he said that at the beginning of the season, however, it must be considered soon, as wood and especially vigurs is starting almost every game. it would suck if we were to miss out on keeping future prospects just because the club didn't let them know were they stood.

i know that vigurs, sutherland, wood and kerr's contracts are up at the end of this season, maybe not priority but need to get these guys signed too...especially vigurs and wood i say.

Fraser won't leave, as for blackie it all depends on who offers and what the offers are.

its unbelievable, every seat at fir park is filled tonight for the game against nancy, when have you ever seen that...we know that clubs in scotland have the fan base so why dont these so-called fans go to every game...what a league the spl would be then if every game had capacity crowds....its such a shame this doesn't happen
