he looks a decent player a nice first touch but always hard to gauge against this level opposition. Certainly worth another look

F T  definitely hoped for more goals, Maybe Yogi just wanted them to have a run out today and not give anything away??

That guy was sitting next to me (before being moved twice by moaning punters despite there being space for everyone... but thats another story) at the Astra game. I hope he was more interested in playing than he was watching.

Still lacking that forward zip in final third.  Richie took his goal well and Nairn keeper had a good double save to stop him getting a 2nd late on. The striker trialist appeared to have a bit of pace, a half decent first touch and some clever distribution after receiving ball - never looked like scoring though. We appear to have come through this casualty free.

Good finish by Foran. Should have had another but for a good double save. Apart from that, we were completely toothless upfront ... even, with respect, against Nairn County. Lopez came on but did very little of genuine note. Don't think he'd have scored against Nairn if he'd played for another couple of hours. I just cannot fathom at all how he was signed up before JJ Hooper. Liked the look of the Belgian trialist though (in a Marley Watkins type way maybe rather than the poacher we need). Light-footed and quick but not terribly willing to have a shot on goal. Foran should start upfront against Astra.

Starting to feel a bit concerned that Yogi is going for style over substance. Agree on Hooper. He looked a very untidy player, but one who would score you goals.

Home now ha ha got a bus about 8 I've decided I love Nairn lots of friendly people sharing drinks etc. wife disagrees however not very happy night night 

[+bughtmaster]

Never mind Jagster you did a fine job keeping us informed with what was happening at the match, Maybe that will let your wife forgive you you were working hard.

Glad you got home I thought you might wake up in Aberdeen about 11.30, a quiet day for you tomorrow

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

What about the tactics and the system. I would really have expected most players to be holding at 60-70% due to concern about injury. This was the opportunity to look at the system for Romania. Nice to see Raven starting and hopefully back to the same back four. Looks like Williams in goal though. Have to concede that the lack of goal scoring is becoming a "feature". Yogi appears to be waiting for a footballer rather than a target man and the former do not grow on trees.
