I think we have to be realistic about the pond we are swimming in. Even in the Championship we appear to be among the lower payers. The reason Delaney, Moffat and the others who have not accepted new terms are off is because they either have or expect to receive better offers. Realistically we will struggle to get a better standard of full-back or winger but hopefully find replacements more suited to the style of football Murray wishes to play.

A more interesting friendly. A ground many fans will never have visited and a chance to see the new players and trialists

We are clearly working on a much reduced budget this coming season. As this is resulting in many of the squad looking elsewhere we might get the squad reset we were promised by default. It promises to be a challenge for Murray. It also highlights how Imrie failed to spend wisely last season.

I would rather all parties take their time and make sure any agreement is ready to take to the fans. If it takes a bit longer than initially expected so be it. Better to get it right first time.

No ill will to Blues as he gave his all throughout his time at the club. He was moved all over the park by different managers as he was seen as versatile and dependable. While it looks a strange sideways move to me, I hope it works for the lad except when he is in direct opposition.

Measured any which way you choose over the course of last season our attacking options out wide and up front were ineffective duds. I am not questioning the effort of some more the lack of quality. Why anyone would choose to sign these players up again is beyond me.

So many eternal optimists believing Garrity and Moffat will suddenly morph into effective footballers rather than the sand dancers they are as evidenced by their time at Morton. If we need to move on we need to bin the majority of the squad from last season.

Why are we wasting our limited budget on ineffective sand dancers and players like Gillespie and Comrie. So much for the promised land as it looks like we are back to targeting 8th in the league.

Another example of an ex player that some were clamouring for Murray to resign only for said player to drop down to the league below. If Strapp like some others are so good why is it their careers have stalled or gone backwards?

Unless he is being paid peanuts this just seems like a waste of a limited budget. Nothing against the guy but he is no spring chicken and is more likely to spend time on the physio table than on the park. O''Halloran being unveiled as one of our first signings for next season is under whelming.

You knew what to expect when the line-up was announced. I thought Imrie was stubborn but Murray is taking it to another level. Tonight was another dreadful performance. Airdrie down to 10 men still looked the better team albeit that is not saying much. We missed the usual sitters before Main's header got us out of jail. Storer, Gillespie, Longridge and Main get pass marks tonight but the rest were just making up the numbers. Staying up should not disguise the urgent need for a major clear out. The jury is very much out on Murray but if I remember rightly he has another year under contract. From start to finish this has been a gruesome season.

It will be a surprise to see Murray play Crawford and/or Taylor. Neither player appear to do anything other than warm the bench under Murray. Playing Wilson as a c/b will be a ballsy/mental decision. I suspect it will only serve to wind up the crowd.

It has to be a lack of ticket sales. More players and staff than fans looked like attending.

It matters not a jot if we remain full-time, go part-time or adopt a hybrid model if our recruitment remains woeful. We allegedly had more money this season to invest in the squad and look at what was assembled. Despite all the hot air from the various charlatans in the board room we have been treading water for years. Even if we stay up on Friday the apathy surrounding the club suggests we are only delaying the inevitable. I hope I am wrong but at the moment it is difficult to be optimistic. You have to offer fans more than just survival as the extent of your ambition.
