Is there going to be a video put up of this?

Good run out for the boys tonight. People on this are probably wondering about players they haven't seen much of or any of, I'll sum up what I thought: First Half I thought McNaughton looked very tidy, just what I expected, an experienced defender, comfortable on the ball and certainly would be an asset to the club, started left back but is right sided so would be good cover for Raven or tremarco. Mulraney looked okay, definitely more to see from him, very direct and always looking to get on to his favoured left foot and get a cross in. Alex fisher was the least impressive out of the players in the first half, seemed like he was way of match practise, his touch just wasn't there but I think he will come. as for the youngsters, was impressed by them especially Maclennan and Sutherland, Second Half Looked a lot sharper team in the second half, Polworth and Vigurs looked very impressive along with the boy Robertson on the right. the new striker Boden is someone everyone can look forward to. Looks a cracking find, very clever striker and always sits on the last man. Was very unlucky not to get on the score sheet. overall I am quite content with the team we have. Still holding on hope that we may bring back Billy McKay. So if we could take in McNaughton, McKay, another winger and another centre back I'll be more than happy

I've read this thread and the Ryan Williams thread and they both have posts complaining that now we have "too many" midfielders. I totally agree that we need players in other positions but who said we didn't try and aren't still trying. What's the point in signing a player if they aren't any good or better than what we have. I am looking at any addition as a positive, especially if they add quality to the squad. I've read this forum for a while and fans on this will find just about anything to complain about and I just don't understand why!

This is Miles Storey, This is my song, Buy a new striker and, You can't go wrong. Cause some say Sho Silva and Lopez are sh*te, but we've got Miles Storey with us

Been at most of the friendlies now and I thought that game yesterday was a good run out for the boys. Jordan Roberts - every time I watch this guy I'm impressed. Really nice touches and his turn is nothing short of beautiful. Brilliant find. Nat Wedderburn - don't want to be too harsh on him but left back is not his position, looked very off the pace and didn't really get stuck in. A guy that size should be putting people on their backsides every time. J.J. Hooper - haven't been impressed by him at all in the previous friendlies but he was better yesterday. One thing about him is he has some strike on him. Dani Lopez - I know people wouldn't be impressed by his ball work yesterday but his off the ball movement was very good. Some of the runs he was making would have left st mirren defenders for dead if he was played in. And I think that once he gains confidence he will start demanding that ball over the top or to feet. Definitely worth a 1 year contract. Oliver Norburn - was quite impressed with him yesterday. If we sign him I don't think he will start but definitely good cover to have.

Was at the game tonight to check out some of the trialists. Dani Lopez started up front in the first half and I was reasonably impressed, would definitely take another look at him. His movement was excellent but his touch wasn't that great but I'm sure that will come. jordan Roberts is already signed and I have to say I think we've got a find here. Oliver Norburn came on second half for draper and played alongside Tansey but played in a very deep position between the two centre backs almost just passing it from right to left. Not a bad player, didn't do anything special but steady enough as for the other two JJ Hooper and the number 20 (liam something I think), I am praying we don't sign either of them. Both didn't look interested. No idea if that number 20 just won a competition to play or something but we was just awful, poor touch, didn't close down anyone and I think he gave the ball away every time he got it. But at least he occasionally looked for the ball, I left before hoopers goal but before that he hardly touched the ball.

I was really impressed with Jordan Roberts yesterday. Looked sharp, good on the ball and actually very good off the ball in terms of closing down. And what a strike for his goal. It was a pretty simple game for Nat Wedderburn although he did look quite comfortable. I did feel that up against a better midfield he would struggle. As for JJ Hooper, I think he should be glad he scored otherwise I don't think we would look at him. Didn't really get involved at all and just seemed very off the pace. Was also very impressed with Williams and Vincent, thought they both looked very sharp yesterday

Draper up front? Are people drunk?

Rings true with what i've heard, hear we are looking to sign two players, one most probably being Kink but heard that Prince Rajcomar and the other lad have left #notintheknow Yeah according to my source you are correct Your source being Wickipedia ?.. Wickipedia? What's that?

Your guess would be correct.

Would love to see Calum Ferguson get a shout, completely agree with DoofersDad in the fact that we have good attacking midfielders and full backs so if we have a striker like ferg who will run and get into positions the chances will be created for him, why waste a wage on a striker who (going by quite a few of our recent strikers) have taken quite a while to get off the mark, perfect examples Billy Mckay and Adam Rooney. Would also like Ryan Baptie to get a shout at left back as well.

Why is it a terrible idea to have a central midfielder play in a central midfield role? Wait, Vincent's position is playing in behind the striker, not centre mid. Hughes sometimes plays him on the right and it doesn't work. The only place that he is effective is in the hole. He has never played in where Tansey and draper normally play because he simply does not have the bite off the ball to be in there, it would be like having Daniel Stratford in there again, hence why it's a terrible idea

Terrible idea to have Vincent in holding midfield! I liked shinnie in there and I personally would put the same team out that we had today

Eh? Raven is a feckin donkey ! we need a right back for sure. no ICT player can put their hand up and say they tried today, they were a total mess, no effort no attitude and def. no idea how to combat Parpricks in the face football. Brill also needs to look at his performance, he was a shambles apart from his one good save. Really disappointed with the team. hope this in not a collapse like last season at this stage. .......You bud must have been dropped cause you have some major problems if you think Raven is "A Donkey" he is one of the best RB's the club has ever had if we got rid of him we won't find as many with the in game knowledge that he has i.e. where to run to, when to run to, positioning ect. Nah, never been dropped, Raven was at fault yesterday, as were most of the defence. He lost a header for their second goal, he lost his man last week for Dundee's goal, I could go on and on, I just don't rate him. If you think he's one of the best RB's we have had I reckon you must have fallen out of the pram a couple of times in early life. hahahaha what a hilariously bad football opinion you have... Wow

Some caley fans really are a disgrace! Still second In the league and that's the first game at home we have lost and some fans still boo the team off the park! Yet they will still jump on the bandwagon when they are playing well. Attendances are bad enough but I don't want fans like that attending, just constantly putting the team down when they can! If you are such perfectionists become footballers yourself

Brilliant performance from us yesterday, very difficult to pick a MOTM but for me it was between Tansey and Danny Williams, 13 points clear of county 6 points clear of Celtic - YOGI OUT

Good to see so many of you back on the Yogi bandwagon

Great result. BBC absolutely raving about us! Hope that shuts up some ridiculously negative people on this forum...

If we took in Michael N'goo I would want Hughes sacked immediately! Imagine supporting a club where your 3 strikers are Michael N'goo, josh magennis and lee miller. I think instead of wasting our money on a panic buy we should offer better contracts to billy McKay and Graeme shinnie, there are players in our side who are more than capable of doing a job up front, for example Marley Watkins! I'd rather him up front instead of the garbage strikers that are being suggested on this, and why not give Calum ferguson a go, how else do you get experience? He scored the most out of all the players in pre season, and then some people on this are saying he is too similar to billy McKay and actually portraying it as a bad thing! You are nuts if you are saying you wouldn't take two billy mckay's!

You do all realise ferguson is older than Ryan Gauld, just saying... Give him the chance and it might be a piece of genius

Pretty impressed with some of the young boys coming through, Ryan Baptie is in a class of his own, Jason Brown, Chris Brown and number 7 were all pretty good, promising signs despite the result

thought the trialist looked bang average, rest of the team looked really good though

Gary Harkins has just been released by St Mirren, could be too expensive but i like him as a player

Febian Brandy signed for Rotherham today
