  1. Got to remember a month or two before the end of last season. These same journalists had us down as ending up in the playoff place before Well. They don't know anything. However, if we don't sign a striker then I fear they are right. Goals/assists by Higgy and O'Donnell over the last two years have kept us in this league. Added by the vast improvement Taylor makes in terms of physicality and holding possession. I don't think we will go down, but it might be tough. Really excited by Welsh - always been a favourite of mine. Cerny will be a good keeper. Miller is more than able. Amoo could prove to be more efficient than Higgy. Given game time, Fraser has a lot to offer (got a feeling his time may be limited which is a real shame as he is probably our only 500k plus player). Sign a (good) striker and this will be another positive year.
  2. Exactly, been a fair few bad comments towards Higgy, O'Donnell and Fox (although in his case it's probably just). Often fans say players won't be missed. Excited to see this guy and hope he signs. Pace is all you need in this league.
  3. Seaborne and Frans has huge potential as a partnership. Seaborne needs to just calm down a little and trust his team mates rather than trying to do everything himself - which is a good problem to have as it's easy to tone back.
  4. Can't judge a player on one mistake.
  5. Its only £25 if you are not willing to sit in the kids zone - its free in the family zone. If this isn't acceptable then for £1.30 a game you can pick any seat - seems pretty reasonable.
  6. People forget Fraser is only 20 and has only got about 50 matches to his name. Remember what Erskine, Bannigan, Balatoni etc were like after 50 games? Probably not even deserving of championship level. He's extremely young and certainly is not going to be in a make or break position in football at the old age of 21. It's been hard for him with Banzo and Osman first on the teamsheet each week, just needs to bide his time after a slow season.
  7. Apologies, you are right - Bannigan is here till end of next season. Just with all the speculation of him going to United mixing my head up. I'll rephrase it to "I hope we keep him". Osman most important signing of the close season probably and will hopefully convince a few others to join up.
  8. Anyone aware of Gardynes future at Tannadice? Is he free to go? Imagine it won't be for a few weeks before news of any potential new players come about. As usual think we will get the leftovers come the start of the new season. But as Seaborne and Osman then Higgy/ Osbourne last season proved there can be great finds from players not getting that Championship or good League One move.
  9. Great news if both Booth and Abdul are signed for next year. Bannigan/O'Donnell/Higgy are they key three for me. Although I'd obviously want Lawless and Balatoni too. If we can swap Fox for MacDonald I'd bite who's ever hand off that was giving that deal. Would love Taylor back also.
  10. Really pleased Booth has been signed up.
  11. To be fair every goal can be stopped as Alan Hansen used to always say. Bit of a believer that team defensive mistakes (our goal) are as bad as individual defensive mistakes (accies goal) but for some reason individual errors are usually picked on as poor goals. No doubt it was an awful goal but they had quite a few chances so can't complain too much when they score one like that, create you own luck etc etc. Slightly made me feel better it was O'Donnell that made the mistake. Just trying to be positive but I do agree with your point. Cutting out goals like that is what makes St Jonstone and Caley top six teams and us a bottom six.
  12. Our current form (last 10 games) would of seen us sitting in second place. Got a feeling we will be watching quite a different team next year going by rumours.
  13. Interesting to see what will happen. We have Frans and Seaborne as our main centre backs with Lindsay and Richards-Everton as back up - think Archie will just go with that? With Seaborne's injury it would put Lindsay into a serious role. I think he will come good and is probably ready but a bit of a risk. Imagine Archie won't be increasing Balatoni's contract offer given we have quite a few centre backs anyway but would be a big loss given his recent form, and more importantly, his playing relationship with Frans.
  14. Craigen in for Osman - must be forced change. I'd of went for Fraser but we've got a very good record with Craigen in the team. Listening to open all mics, talking about Kilmarnock always looking like the team could end up dragged into the playoffs. Only a couple of weeks ago Killie were meant to be safe and we were 'always likely' to end up there. Got a good feeling today, a win would be great.
  15. Yeh, I did mention Stevenson is new to the team and was played out of position up front when he arrived - he isn't a striker. Although he didn't have the best starts, I think his form at the beginning wasn't as bad as some made out. I said from the first couple of times I saw him that he would turn out good. The team as a whole actually played quite well at the start of the season when he was up top. To be honest I think every player has had poor spells this season and the only one who's poor spell was very short (perhaps more down to the team) is Osman. Which I guess is why he is winning the poll comfortably. Anyway, this season more than any year I can recall, I would struggle to pick a top player. It has been a team effort, which is what we all want.
