    Been doing the Formartine/Buchan way the last few weekends(Old Abdn to Broch/P'head railway).Enjoying it,good weather helps.All easy walking,....cyclable too.https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/aberdeenshire/formartine-buchan-way.shtml

    We noticed a feint unmatked path going into some woods.Thought we'd hae a nosey,and came across an unexpected lake.think this may be a lotus flower? Unusual this far North,but maybe teased out with the amount of recent sun

    I brought him up about 25 mins in as he was a big physical loon who was involved and had just had a decent shot on goal. I said heā€™s a good squad player to have, much like Morris. He offers something off the bench was my point. Donā€™t think anyone said he was good!

    I agree re Gueye,we can get more out of him,but he seems to be still resting on his purple patch laurels IMO.

    Ā  Ā Lets get this weird season out the way and see if we can make more accurate signings in the window.Milanovic looks useful,energetic

    Saints werent that stuffy that we couldnt have got more out of the game with more drive and imagination.Keskinen was less involved than expected,maybe would have been worth starting with Polvara as suggested,who looked good when he came on,as did Dabbagh,McGrath and even Gueye.As Dan said,we didnt look up for it enough with whats at stake...

    Donā€™t agree, I thought we played very well. You have to factor we were playing the on form team who have beaten Celtic and rangers, plus hearts and united, on their run too. Oh, and us. Not sure we could have done more. We were suspect from crosses/corners as usual and they had 3 headers they could have scored, but we dominated possession, created chances, were defensively solid, and did a good job keeping Boyle quiet.

    morris is back to me thinking heā€™s our super sub, and gueye is not quick thinking enough. Both good to bring off the bench. Iā€™d start okkels and McGrath next week, but with those two not here next year, I feel these are two legit ā€˜mustā€™ signings this summer. Our main priority for sure, provided we sign nisbet!

    its a palaversa polvara dilemma for me. Clarkson is playing well and deserves to start. Palaversa isnā€™t playing badly, covers a lot of ground, and sits in. Does a defensive job. Although Clarkson is deep too and has done more recently defensively. Polvara definitely offers drive from midfield and is much more attack minded. Another good performance yesterday. Think he scored a similar goal against hibs last year too, was unlucky with his well worked chance. Is jimmy brave enough to go with Clarkson and polvara next week?

    Clarkson and Polvara v a brutal side like St mirren? Might be worth a try see how it pans out,but....Ā
