  1. The Jags Club newsletter arrived in my mailbox this morning, presumably lots of you receive it too. Confirming 1701 season tickets sold so far. Don’t know how that compares to recent seasons.
  2. Fitzy looks to have slimmed himself down over the summer. By his own admission he had a poor last season (with off field issues to contend with). Hoping he can rediscover his previous exciting form this season and push on. Incredible to think he could hit 200 appearances this season and he’s only 24 years old.
  3. Stranraer beat Ross C on penalties. Big incentive for us to get to the knockout stages and hopefully we’ll have completed more signings by the time we play them (Ross)
  4. Spoiled it by conceding before HT !
  5. The bbc formation has Stanway playing CB and Ashcroft playing the no 10 role! Maybe they’ve got a new AI tool but I suspect they haven’t got a clue / don’t care.
  6. Pretty damming that we start the season without a centre forward on the park. Ok, Diack’s injured but I don’t think anyone anticipated him featuring much in starting line ups. Hopefully Watt gets up to speed quickly and doesn’t get injured! And “MacKay misses out” for the umpteenth time.
  7. Wilson’s post match interview name checked Kobei Moore and his comments certainly give the impression we will try and sign him.
  8. A description that could equally apply to Diack unfortunately. We really need two strikers in before the season starts
  9. Initially thought Lawrie on the left, then Forsyth, but don’t think it’s either? Then Strachan, Campbell, Rough, Gibson, Bone, Tommy Rae…..
  10. I’d be very concerned if we now rely on loan signings to fill all the gaps. We have it seems just 13 fit players for the start of the season plus unproven youngsters. Diack is our only striker and it seems his loan spell with Airdrie didn’t exactly set the heather on fire. So we need two additions for up front, a right back, cover for central defence, the ever elusive decent defensive midfielder, and probably another attacking midfielder. That’s 6 needed. Throw in a second keeper (a loan one probably makes sense) and we would have 20 plus 2 injured. Realistically maybe 2 of the youngsters add to that. But relying on up to 7 loans (if we are actually allowed that number?) would represent nearly a third of the squad and our record in the loan market isn’t great.
  11. A player several Jags fans hoped we would sign last season, Dom Thomas joins Ayr
  12. Given that Barraclough’s initial online introduction was less than clear on his specific roles and responsibilities - something that was commented upon by many posters on this forum - even to the point that Barraclough himself didn’t seem entirely sure, then maybe BG wasn’t 100% clear until his interview.
  13. Confirms he wasn’t comfortable with the sporting director oversight, although I do wonder if he would have taken it had Falkirk not called. All in the past now. https://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/sport/football/falkirk-fc/brian-graham-reviews-falkirk-move-and-partick-thistle-exit-5186100 scroll down to Graham reveals why he left Partick Thistle for Falkirk “Don’t get me wrong, it was a big decision to leave Partick Thistle,” he said. “I was offered the head coach role and Mark (Wilson) was going to be the assistant. I wish them well next year, it’s no hard feelings. I wish Mark and the players who are still there and whoever comes in a really good season next year. But when I said at the tail end of the year that if I wasn’t taking the manager’s job or I wasn’t getting the manager’s job, it was going to be really difficult for me to go into the changing room, I still stand by that. And when I got the opportunity to take the job on, then there’s a few things that... It’s head coach, you’re not actually the manager, you’re a head coach and I don’t think that was for me. That’s one of the reasons why I decided, do you know what, I want to just go and play for another year.
  14. And what will be the Imrie grudge/revenge/I didn’t want your stinking job anyway match in between. Boxing gloves for him and Rae on the touch line.
  15. Rae wouldn’t be my choice but thankfully I’m not the manager. Both will be judged on results and if they’re successful that’s all that matters.
