If Munro is unavailable, Duff must play, aside from the fact that his confidence will be ruined if someone else gets a game (basically telling him that he's been dropped), that was as good as we've been defensively recently, Hamilton (a team that put three past one of the leagues best defences last year) found us as hard to break down as we did them. He would however, have the unenviable task of containing Shiels and Fletcher, but I think he's up to it. Black must stop passing backwards and sideways, he is really the only player in our team capable of splitting a defence, but he usually prefers cuting back and passing sideways looking very pretty. Would like to see Proctor back, he's come along way since his last spell with us and IMO with Munro injured he is our best defender. Not that Frasers been doing anything wrong,much the contrary (spelling?) but I'd like to see Esson given a shot, just to keep Ike on his toes. Rooney must start, and Barrowman will start.

Interesting to see at the end of the half, Ryan Esson run 25 yards across the pitch to tell the inconsolable Duff that everything was to fine and to pick himself up. Was very impressed, I remember Brewster mentioning he is an excellent player to have around the dressing room. With Barry Wilson the notable exception, we have previoulsy lacked anyone capable of lifting the others and being the type of player the othes can look to for support.

And what a goal it was :o

Pooh pooh to those that say Black isn't good enough for Scotland. In recent months Blackie has made among others Scott Brown, Paul Hartley and Scott Severin look distinctly average. What Black is lacking that is generally key for international players is: A.Consitency B.Experience

Not really. Last we heard talks were still ongoing (Friday's P&J if I remember correctly.) Things probably stopped over the weekend (Stoke had games on Friday and Monday, while we had a massive match on Saturday) with talks at best resuming today. As usual the club can do no right in the eyes of some.

Calderwood, sign a player that hasn't previously played for Dunfermline or Dundee Utd? I wouldn't loose any sleep Blackieforce

Well does he still play for us?

Non-ICT?

Unlike some on here, having met Brewster, I am of the opinion that he is a genuinely good guy. But Callum Elliot

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...een/7547330.stm Can anyone explain to me what any of the above is about? Have the Dons caved or something?

Messi in Argentian starting 11.

BBC Predictions Billy Dodds and Chick Young have us as their pick to go down. If Brewster has any sense he'll print these predictions off and stick them round the dressing room, can't see the boys taking to kindly to being told they are the worst team in the league and could give them that bit of fighting spirit that was so evidently lacking last season. After reading the "experts" opinions, I beginning to develop a bit of a siege mentality similar to our first season in the SPL.

Negativity? All we want is to get the best out of Grant. Some, like myself, feel that although he is both an excellent centre-back and leader, perhaps last season he struggled to do both, therefore got stuck somewhere in between.

Black and Duncan.

Really, I always thought Cowie had a bit of a tendacy to take the huff when things wern't going to plan.

Unlikely.

Agreed, both have been written off far too quickly, County fans did tell us that Zadi was just as likely to have a brilliant game as a stinker, if he's added consistency to his game, then who knows. Im pretty sure the consensous on here beginning of last season was that Cowie would bring nothing new to the squad.

Like who?

I think its fair to say that Imrie has been a pleasant suprise. I look forward to getting a full season out of him.

Fair enough, perhaps it is merely a case of if you put anyone next to Considine they will look good. Personally I still think he is a very good player.

Mince Reguarly go to Aberdeen games when Caley are playing away and I'm down on the pennies. I can tell you that he is far from mince.

Me + 5

Is Diamond not struggling to be fit for this one aswell? Pulls through an otherwise pish defence by himself usually. Kerr is a good player (backpassing aside) and Smith and Touzani are both very good technically. Severin's best days are behind him, and I'd like to see Blackie bossing him about from start to finish, while Chris McGuire will run himself into little Cul De Sacs, so not much to worry about there. I'm quite excited now. Time for a rollcall I think. ;)
