Is that what you think we will get or need....... Very optimistic if you think we will get there.

Just looking at the fixture lists and the needed points to get a playoff spot. Think our minimum points after the first 8 games has to be higher than 11. Really interested to see if we can even get close to this but think that would be a good start and point to review the team performance in a few weeks.

I think the comment that we have had a number of rich board members who have consistently supported the club even when in seperate factions and with different ideas is very true. We have been lucky to have this level of financial commitment spread across a wide group and hopefully now they can work together to get us back in the premiership.

Whos playing?

Worst summer was the hughes debacle but it hasnt got better since then. This will only be the worst summer ever if we get relegated. If by a miracle we get promoted then we will forget the issues this month on the football side but will not forget or forgive the comms or lack of management shiwn by the board.

Well it solves the three central midfielders that can't play together conundrum ..

Shocking if true but points to terrible board input. They need sorted.

Ok agree to disagree but very coherent argument.

Sorry rig and renegade I cannot and will not accept personal criticism of draper when this is a club structural and management issue. The club did not have to let him go but happily took a very low offer and 220000 saving of their wage bill over the next 2 years. There was multiple ways to stop this happening but the very first rebuff of the bid by the club said we want more not we wont sell. Look to the board. No employee leaves a job where they feel valued and supported and the current recovery from foran will not be a secure or positive environment for many.

I am gutted for me but happy for draper if it gives him more security and better prospects for his family. The club has done terribly in this market though with a settled player on a long term contract being allowed to leave for less than half his market value. Shame on the board as a draper fan will they give me a season ticket refund to allow me to get one for county....

Wouldnt accept less than 240 for draper myself.

Doofers i sort of agree with you but really want draper to stay for all the character and mental strength he brings to the team. Even when out of position and in struggling team he brings a focus and concentation to himself and others. That being said if vigurs polworth and draper cant play together and club can get money for one of them then i could understand but not like the decision. Conflicted as always until we start winning.

Hopeless speculation . Lets not unsettle our own players please. More interested in the meekings and raven contracts. Can ravens contract be extended but reduced. One of our best players saturday. Is meekings a ship that has sailed to dundee or if not taken up will he come back to the fold?

Absolutely shows how the scottish monopoly lets youngsters down.

Where can we see the footage of the game yesterday.?

It was me ... grumpy as we had lost a goal before i got in. I normally sneak in through the tunnel hidden by the puddle beside the stand . Surprised you noticed me.

definately ghana.... Now waiting in amsterdam.....dont think commentary on my journey will be as exciting as the 5 1 victory today.......

Leaving ghana now hope i make it

Is that two goals or an echo...

Is there a record for number of penalties missed by a team in a season as we must hold it. We have been rotten at penalties for years.

Hi guys, Thinking for a little fun we should predict league goal top scorers in team by end of season. There is a lot of negative comments so far about our attacking options so thought we could try to turn this into a bit of a game. So top 3 goalscorers for next season , top assists, and total goals for team. Oakley 17 Susan 16 Baird 13 Assists Mulreany 20 Vigurs 16 Seedorf 12 Total team goals 56 Expecting pelters but waiting for United match to confirm or deny Susan brilliance. . . .

Ridgers Mackay Elsdon Warren Calder Seedorf draper vigurs Oakley baird mulraeny Controversial way to get seedorf further forward?

Hi Seen jim spence ask the question a week or so ago and wondered if we could do it as part of the forum using the voting functionality in one form or another. Who will be the top 5 teams in the championship this year and what order. I think ill predict after falkirk match but before then i would maybe go St mirren Caley Dundee utd Dunfermline Falkirk Is there anything clever like the player voting we could do to give everyone a go?

And players playing in a well functioning team in their best position.

Really positive discussion turning into a bit of a disagreement . The whole point of the thread was to bring people together to discuss positively facts and measured statements of Iains performance and not go into the i like/dont like debate that we seem able to sustain on any subject on these forums. Please look back to the starting point of the discussion and go forward in that spirit.
