Dougie’s confirmed at the Q&A a few weeks ago that he wants more pace in the team and particularly at the top end of the park. So it’s exciting to see what the team will set up like come the start of the season. Better budget than before and I’ve got faith that Dougie will pull something out the bag again and replace Robbie. A change in players and system sounds good to me.

McMann must have been around Accies at the tail end of Imrie being there and he’s from Glasgow so maybe he is an option. It would be a statement getting someone in with his experience but I reckon he’s potentially outwith our reach though.

They are a bunch of insufferable cunts. Hopefully they are joined next season by Montrose via the playoffs so Inverness can slither back to the Highland League. Queens Park also worth a mention when talking about insufferable cunts and slithering.

Dougie mentioned at the Q&A about wanting more pace in the team and particularly at top end of the park, I would imagine Crawford will be part of that plan.

Will be gutted to lose anyone to that lot. He’s been there a few years back and didn’t play so hopefully we can get a decent 2 year deal put together for him and get him signed up.

Dougie mentioned at the Q&A a club had asked to speak to two of our players. Hope we can hold onto both of them but think it’ll be a tough task keeping George.

Not managing to improve the squad from our good position in Jan has been a big disappointment and has probably played its part in running out of steam after that brilliant run. Cannot see us making the playoffs now which is majorly disappointing. Think we’ve got enough in the tank to stay away from any playoff nonsense below us. Any word on Strapps injury? Desperately needing him back in.

Jack Bearne today Gave us that wee extra edge at times, hopefully see him kick on and improve with a run in the team.

McGrattan is always an easy target it seems. Far worse on the park than him at times today. Broadfoot, Blues and French in particular being horrendous. Was Strapp coming off an injury? Not surprised we make that change, and instantly we are switched off down the left side at that quick corner for the goal. Mullen should be doing better too, looked like he went with the wrong hand aswell? Something needs to change, that’s giving me the absolute fear today.

Fucking shite as trying to get down the road now after an early finish Problems expected til 7pm!

All of us dreaming of Big George playing tomorrow night!

When we actually decided to play the ball on the deck we seen our best passage of play in the game last night. The amount of long balls has been awful, and this tactic has been more apparent in the last few games without Oakley. Difficult ask for Jai & Mullen who are still clearly carrying injuries. Jai clearly having to hold back with his hamstring taped up and same with Mullens right thigh as we seen him reverting to throws and using his left. 2 great saves from Mullen though Alan Power absolutely strolling it in the middle of the park is a great watch too! Hearts are always going to be a tough one but going into it off 2 defeats and missing key players, we need everyone at it next week to get anywhere near them. Hopefully some Hearts players are right off it and we take the next 5 days to get some decent recovery in with maybe Oakley making an appearance on Monday

Raith Rovers tonight

Telegraph saying we could be without Mullen, Oakley & Wilson for up to a month. That’s a bit of a disaster.

Oakley has at least secured himself a contract offer from Dundee Utd next year after ripping them to bits. He’s been an absolute joy to watch and hope he continues on with us. On the subject of Lewis Strapp, he has been ridiculous since his return. Outstanding having a player of his quality in the team, aggressive, clever and a real leader. The throw ins take so much pressure off us at times. Power has also been excellent. Think he’s got a beauty of a goal in him this season, hoping to see it soon! The way he just takes that wee touch or flick and we are away is brilliant. Also love that wee nasty streak he’s got in him, something we have been needing in there.
