The Penney love is because we've not had a proper left back for years.

Six weeks later. Some thoughts: Has Hammy finally booted Morris and now Shields out of the match day squad? It would seem so. Efford is much improved now that he is playing as an attacker on the right side. Injured now, however. If Lamie is toast after today, we badly need another central defender. I notice he's also now the vice captain. We singed McKinstry, Aarons, and Moult, so that's the 3 forward players we needed, although Aarons is now injured. New LB is great. Goss is the creative midfielder we hoped he would become. We just need to be more clinical in front of goal now and hope our injury list isn't too bad.

Penney is starting to impress. Better than all other LBs we've got combined.

The vitriol and sycophancy on display from both sides are equally nauseating. This is a football forum. Move on.

The Reserve League has returned after a 2-year hiatus. Our first match saw us field many first team players, which is a good way to keep the benchwarmers match-fit and the young boys on their toes.

That game was as frustrating as it was enjoyable. We battered them 0-0. Onwards.

He's 'home' and my eyes are very wet.

I would argue that we (decent members of society) should be campaigning to bring down the corrupt government at Westminster before we start to revert to an early 20th century lifestyle to mitigate impacts of cost/shortage. Scotland is a net exporter of energy, yet we are shafted. The solution doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out.

Aarons and McKinstry are really positive signings if we can get the best out of them, but we still need another capable first-team striker.

Correct.

We are completely hamstrung by the mess left by Alexander. It’ll take 2-3 windows to get past his legacy of shit. Our attacking options rely solely on KVV, so we need to sign a first team striker to start playing with him immediately. Otherwise, we will remain blunt and toothless. My assessment: Morris is woeful. Send him packing back to Alexander. Efford is complete mince. Get rid. Shields is into year 2 of his 3-year deal, and is evidently not good enough for this level. Tierney needs game time, but isn’t good enough to start or affect games yet. Send him out on loan until January. Mahon is a boy, not a first team player. We also need a commanding centre back and a controlling midfielder. Did I mention that I hate Alexander? An arrogant imposter of a manager.

Fanny by Gaslight. It’s beside the train station.

Killie 1 v 3 Well

A good player does not make a good manager. GA is a fraud.

'more new faces' = plural = striker and midfielder?

Unfortunately for Efford, the evidence suggests that his brain and legs aren't connecting.

Efford isn't good enough for this league. He's part of the Alexander generation and we have moved beyond that.

He's gonna do well. He get's it. It's that simple.

'Motherwell could also move some of their own fringe players on before the close of the window.' I wonder who they are...

The latest on Snodgrass and other ins/outs.

Alexander sings a journeyman left-sided midfielder in Morris, and Hammy signs a proper young winger in McKinstry. You do the math. I'm genuinely excited about the Hammy era.

Seventh.

I cannot like Livi due to their atrocious plastic pitch, but I remain impressed by how much they punch above their weight. Notwithstanding, as the game is at FP and now that we seem to have figured out how to play football under Hammy, I think we should win this one. We should be ending next weekend with 9 points from 12.
