Time wasting of the scale today. Bet we get 3 mins on injury time tops.

Can't blame them with this pitch.

Is Sam Campbell any worse than Balmer?

So called defence.

Just get that defence to feck. Changes are needed back there, and pronto.

That will be AP injured then. Foot stuck in pitch.

Pitch getting slower, abit like odonnell.

Full backs have got into good positions, but their final ball woeful. Weather obviously slowing things down. Helped by the clown referee. AP not done enough.

Only a minute after all those stoppages.

O'donnell living up to his hype, lol

Pitch needs watered. Very sticky.

No mcghee either. Is Wells injured?

Brilliant, another with pace to burn. Like this baws out approach.

given he can play as wing back and has pace, opens up the option of playing with three center backs if the need arises.

plus our now usual additional optional one year extension.

looks like the left winger, come wing back, come left back, who apparently cant defend. Time will tell, as Mr Gent could not defend at first and developed. So here is hoping.

Tony Watt signs for Partick.

On that happy and positive thought, we should just wind the club up and take up watching and analysing brick walls.

To early to tell with Ward & Elliot. Maswanhise has pace, but his final ball can let him down. Still time for him to develop. Stama chasing shadows again today. He needs someone up beside him, and or wingers who can cross a ball. Passing from the back or hoof ball to nobody upfront. Interesting choice!? Best formation questionable. Really?? after our first pre season game with a new manager finding out about his players!! Its all well that we know our squad weaknesses, but weve watched them enough over time. The manager is still learning on who can do what. Patience. Pre season is all about fitness and trying things.

Think today just confirmed what we knew about certain individuals. Balmer, O'Donnell, Wilson should not be near the first team. Gordon is not a ball passing defender. We need an enforcer in the middle of the park, and more pace up front.

Odonnell doing his usual and turning his back, and Balmer playing everyone onside with his lack of positional sense. Hey ho, only a pre season.

Given its our first game of the pre season under a new manager against a quality team, we have done ok, especially in that heat. We could have battered a non league team and learned nothing. Playing against this mob should be a good schooling. Its obvious we need reinforcements up front, with pace. Wilson at left back is still questionable it seems.

Staff come and go at our football club. Some sooner than we would have liked. We go on as always. Modern football is a farce.

We owe county. Casey needs to mark White. As odonnell and seddon won't compete with him.

It was an easier 2nd half for him. As killies threat disappeared and he did not have to defend, especially in the air. He almost got caught out with another long ball over the top of him tho. He seems to struggle to read the game and has poor positional sense. To his credit it was a fine cross for the goal. He's fine as a squad player, but not a starter next season please.
