  1. Thanks Scotty, no surprise with the top two. Just imagine how things might have been if we had had Fisher playing whenever he was fit!
  2. Following on from the informative debate about Iain Vigurs, how do we feel about "he's one of our own" Polly? I see great unrealised potential, possibly as he is not unleashed in his best position (attacking midfield?) and he sometimes seems disinterested or even lazy. Can we make him our next star?
  3. Cue another thread.... The Liam Polworth enigma?
  4. Other than in the air, he compares quite favourably on these stats. Must admit, in the deeper role he played towards the end of last season and yesterday, he has impressed. I thought he pulled the strings in midfield against Brechin. May just be where I sit, as pretty close to the middle of the park, so I am close to the area he tends to be in.
  5. Hope you are right 12th man. I had my 5 year old grandson at only his second game so missed some of the action as I tried to tell him where to be looking, but overall I left with a positive feel too. Next week against Falkirk will tell us a lot, and the league opening could make or break our season.
  6. And Elsdon is 6.
  7. After an even first few minutes, We pretty much bossed it. Good to see 7 of the new guys, 5 starting and 2 coming on. Ridgers had little to do so can't comment on him. Seedorf was a stand out at right back. Was quieter when moved into midfield late on. With Raven on bench, probably confirms he is one the club may be happy to see move on. Calder looked promising at left back, and will be useful cover when Tremarco returns. No complaints about Warren or Mckay with Warren taking his goals well. Elsdon looked OK also when he came on. In midfield, Vigurs was good in the deep role. Draper was busy as usual and pretty commanding. Mulraney's pace was troublesome all day, and he was subject of some rough challenges. A consistent end product remains elusive. Polworth was disappointing. Did not see enough of Chalmers to judge after he came on, and it was a very harsh booking. Up front, Baird was busy and looked promising, whilst Oakley was quieter but got off the mark. For me, Seedorf was the pick, then Vigurs and Warren. Early days but an encouraging start, and a few more goals would not have flattered us.
  8. It is just one more, or Fon Williams and two? Gary Warren perhaps?
  9. Full squad now there. New signings showing squad number 0, those from last season showing last season's numbers, so one step forward but not really helpful yet. 25 listed, including 5 'keepers.
  10. Anyone brave enough to predict the team for tomorrow? When at the ground this afternoon to collect my ticket, Ryan Esson and Aaron Doran were leaving, looking fit and happy. Is Doran fit to play yet?
  11. Sorry to see Iain go, he was a great ambassador for the club. I'm no fan of the press (sorry Charles!) but I hope he has a great career at the P&J.
  12. The squad list on the club website only has the seven new players listed, all showing squad number 0, so no hints there!
  13. The rumours are getting stronger, I suggest we all watch this space!
  14. Cheers!
  15. Sorry if I have missed it, but have we worked out how the fans ranked the players overall last season. Ancient history now, I know, but just curious! For what it's worth, and not allowing for game time, my choice would be: Tremarco Fisher (but lack of game time will have scuppered that!) Draper
  16. Any word about Cammy Mackay? Last I heard the club were speaking to him but that was a while ago. I thought this could be his breakthrough season, but perhaps not.
  17. That's me signed up again. Tough start but here's to a good one!
  18. I'd decided I would renew, but not until the 23rd but this is good news and hopefully a sign of a Board that wants to engage with the loyal fan base.
  19. Robert

    Alex Fisher

    Sorry to lose Fsher, but I wish him every success at Motherwell. Just hope we see him back at the stadium in 2018/19 for a top league game....
  20. If the out of contract players have not been spoken to, it is inevitable they will move on. Hopefully the club is speaking to those who want to stay and who can contribute, so possibly discussions have started with a Meekings? Time will tell.
  21. I also feel sorry for him and hope he finds a future role in the game. A great servant to the club, and a shame things did not work out as Manager. Hopefully everyone respects that and, as when Kenny Cameron stepped down, we remember the good times. That said, whether it was the club's decision of his, it is the right one. Thanks for the memories Richie, a shame last season did not work out, but all the best!!
  22. Just think, the same Saturday two years ago, just 104 weeks, was our moment! Sitting in the Hampden stand, less than 15 minutes from kick off. A tremendous occasion and match, which we won the hard way. Great memory, we can only hope for more in the future. My football highlight!
  23. Or there may be negotiations with individuals taking place that cannot result in a public statement of any kind until fully resolved.
  24. I don't doubt he did, but he was used erratically in differing systems rather than in a consistent role in a consistent formation.
