Must’ve pulled it trying to defend the cross that led to their equaliser. Not.

Stama misses what looked like yet another sitter and nearly splits himself in half doing it. All the effort but no return and that just will not do from a number 9.

The whole backline and keeper were static for their equaliser. Do we even work on defending balls into the box?!

Really good first half overall, and we could easily have been 2 or 3 up. Dundee are shite.

Johnny K starts with SOD on the bench, so my curiosity’s been satisfied.

That’s probably about right, since he’s not dropping Ward yet and JT and Just have just returned, though I’m curious whether Johnny K will feature today.

Good interview as usual. He’s leaning towards more pragmatism now, and still putting his faith in the continually misfiring Stama.

I don’t want to be too harsh on Lewis Ferguson, given how well he’s doing in Serie A. Still, I struggled to see what he added to the midfield last night and couldn’t help but feel Miller would’ve been more effective alongside Gilmour in the double pivot. Hopefully, he’ll get more opportunities in that role.

Bowman had a natural number 9 in Moult alongside him. Stama, by contrast, was signed to be that number 9 himself, so the expectations are different. Comparing him directly with Bowman doesn’t really hold up. Stama’s had over a year now, which is more than enough time to have shown more than he has.

Compared to the fling-shite-at-the-wall chaos of Kettlewell’s transfer windows, this one feels like a real breath of fresh air.

That’s exactly the modern CB we needed. Here’s hoping it works out all round.

Yeh, Hendry’s free kick was crap, but it’s far too early to judge him.

Unfortunately, I fear McGhee might be this season’s Callachan.

A goalkeeper should command their box and deal with threats before going for the ball, either by clearing them out or being more aware. With the protection they get, there is no excuse. Foul or not on Ward, he has to be stronger in those situations. Maybe he just is not capable of it. And he has butterfingers.

That’s fine, but strikers are there to score.

Total crap! https://x.com/SteelmenNews/status/1962117073930269122

Hendry deserves his chance to lead the line once he’s fully up to speed with the manager’s system.

Not my man of the match, but I thought Said played well yesterday. There’s definitely more to come from him as he gets sharper with more game time.

A new GK, CB and CF would do nicely.

I’m sure JBA is as frustrated as the rest of us. His side is playing some great football and dominating games, but keeps being let down by a weak first choice striker and an even weaker keeper. You could add a shaky central defence to that list too. It is now on him to sort out both ends of the pitch and I see no reason why he won’t or can’t.

With a proper striker and a better keeper, we’d have won those first four league games. Time to get the chequebook out.

Great game again, but Ward chucking it again and our number 9 not scoring goals again is killing us.

Calum Ward please.

Scott Burns is reporting that Balmer could be set for a move to Kolding in Denmark.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what kind of welcome our fans give Kettlewell today. He’s a narcissist who will spin his own narrative, and the press will lap it up regardless.
