35k won't get much.

11/12 for Russel instead of Russell. 

I thought there were going to be bonus points for naming all the players in the title celebration photo...

He certainly has experience in a number of roles at various clubs, and has been in discussion with us for a few weeks.

Might be good for both parties - new challenge off the beaten track for him and a fresh appraisal of the situation we are in.

Over the years we have been a happy hunting ground for players and managers to come here and prove themselves - perhaps mr Gardiner will do likewise. 

I think any old tops are probably being kept for keepsake.

I have a '95/'96  and a '99/'00, but dont think I'd sell them.

How much are they going for?

One step at a time folks.

Saturday first...

Without Donaldson & Welsh we look fairly lightweight through the middle, also losing a good bit of experience with their absence .

Keeping it tight  would be hard work for our already jaded looking team but we can but hope - although I've never thought we could sit in and contain a team.

Not seen enough of Hearts recently to speculate on how they play - they have a big squad and seem to constantly change their 1st team lineups. 

Just as long as Ikpeazu doesn't bludgeon his way to goal , which I fear may happen, we have a chance. 

Absolutely no worries over Mulraney, saw enough of him underperforming here for 2 years.

It's when long posts are quoted in full...zzzzzz.

Aye, dodged a bullet or two there.

Even macauley got a game today, the kids can't be far behind.

At this rate we will be playing the kids in the run in.

Not sure that we can achieve that in the next two games.

Scottish cup.

Crikey, have we forgot how to take penalties??

Mccart injured or suspended?

Maybe 3 5 2...

Need to go hard from the start, last 2 games been lacking urgency.

Damn, we were supposed to get Steven MacLean on Tuesday!!!

5 yellows so far.

That's the thing about momentum, when it's gone it's gone. Have to start again, and inertia is the problem.

Unfortunately for us Josh Mullin scores as well as creates goals.

I hope Aaron isn't coming to the end of his contract...his form has been good lately.

Interestingly from 2014/15 and the following 3 seasons Draper and Vigurs were our most booked players - twice each...funny that.

What is our tally for leading league goals scored this year?

(Letting Oakley go seems like an even bigger mistake now.)

.....On Drapes.............would we take him back? To my eyes he is doing what he always has and he is an asset at this level....

 

Unless he has a very good midfield around him at premier level, he'll struggle, again.

Take him back?? Not on those wages!!

We can't afford mercenaries. 

Playing them 6 times this season ( with little positive results)just got a bit much. Time to move on methinks.

In think 2nd half county were well within themselves, if we had scored then I reckon they could've upped their game again, whereas we were flat out looking to get back into it.

They were already thinking about Friday.

Game management.

He was quite combative when he was with us, and not being the quickest he could end up on the late side of the tackle.

I remember in the premier league he was feeling victimised by the amount of fouls/bookings he was picking up...claiming that he was the player fouled more often than not.

I think due to previous dominance in the other derbies the kettleferg has decided that Draper will be used in the most destructive way when county don't have the ball. Polworth will be glad to see the back of him.
