Curious to see what today brings. Has to be at minimum 3. Winger, CM, and forward. I’d be happy with 3 loans rather than 3 panic buys. curious to hear the responses, would you be happier with hale or nisbet? I will be disappointed if it’s nisbet tbh, I’m not a fan. allan Campbell, Mikey Johnson, and hale???

Bit harsh, thought falkirk were decent. They didn’t come to sit in, plus built out the back quite well. They do what we can’t, they advance the ball from defense to midfielders (central) who move the ball up field. Far too often we’re sideways and backwards then long ball. topi and milanovic were aggressive first half and both had scoring chances. Where they fail is they don’t blow by the full back (like morris would) so always seemed to be under pressure. Polvara was non existent and we really lacked the presence of a 10 first half. Topi also reminds me a bit of duk, low footie IQ and not much of a team player. said it before, until we have a 9 who can combine with the other attacking three we’ll struggle, although thought lazetic looks intriguing. A good two weeks training, plus hopefully a commanding and mobile, and experienced central mid, will help. was thinking at one point today how young and inexperienced we are, and Scottish fibs requires street smarts and experience. Our front 4 are lazetic milanovic adil, and topi, with potentially clarkson deep. We must have a mobile old head leading the way from both center midfield balance and central defense. I worry we’re far too young, naive, and soft, especially with Delvin shinnie and sivert bit part players

Yengi is shite but lazetic gives me hope. It’s center mid that is my concern. If we have three attacking mids/flair players behind a striker we need two work horses behind them. Our center mid is totally off and that’s the biggest problem. I’d say shinnie and sivert 5 years ago would have been the answer. Fix that and more chances and goals will come, plus we’ll be better defensively. Until we fix center mid we’ll always struggle. As was commented before, we had Ferguson, then Rama, and nothing since.

On field leadership from this player as well. Bunch of followers at present.

I’ll also add that polvara had a huge opportunity today, game at home against one of the weaker teams, and playing centrally. He did so little to get involved, that’s the polvara jimmy said isn’t aggressive enough. Opportunity lost there, doesn’t take advantage of the start when given it. Next.

The red totally changed the game, we had chances first half, yengi had chances, and milanovic and topi had decent efforts. Better team until the red, but I will say even in the first half falkirk were decent. Second half we just let falkirk dictate and they deserved the win.

Not sure we can pick up anyone special by the end of tomorrow, but we do lack a central midfield presence. Sivert has the personality but he’s passed it, someone like him to dictate a game as we saw early last season.

Disappointing day. Looked decent until the red. Another game where, obviously with my red tinted specs, were very hard done by with the red, plus the inclusion of var and a wrong decision, and it totally changes the game. positive, lazetic looked technical, athletic, and quick.

Mini chances but awful set pieces and nothing created. We look like a bunch of players recently brought together, little cohesion and chemistry. Minimal/nothing being created.

Pretty shit second half. You have to prepare for playing with ten, as you know it happens, we have been poor.

We were better until the red and second half hasn’t been great. My fear is us getting stretched and Milne booked again.

Goal falkirk, it was coming although I though we’d weathered their storm.

Ref is booking everyone now.

Lazetic certainly looks way more athletic and quicker than yengi.

Game is a mess, we’re ragged and ref is awful.

Cartwright there is a worse foul than devlin ffs.

Or molloy at left back and polvara up top!?!?!?

He’s on the bench so fit enough, let’s see lazetic, yengi had chances but doesn’t look a footballer. Shinnie at left back too as he’ll get forward. Prob polvara off, didnt take the opportunity.

I don’t see it as a red at all, going in hard to win the ball and has to hit the ball 30 plus yards which requires a follow through. Not even a foul if you ask me.

This ref is a clown. Spoiling the game.

Blah so far, better team but no goals. Need more from yengi and polvara in particular.

Polvara at 10!!!! Dare I say his best position???

When you look at it, to potentially picked £3m for Boyd, gueye, Morris, ruby, and Jensen, you can’t really complain. None were good enough to regularly start. At the same time, we’ve yet to see (consistent) strong performances from topi, adil, and milanovic, so until we do it’s pretty much like for like. We still need a legit two starters, playing polvara at left mid doesn’t cut it for me. A starting cm and winger by Monday night is huge. I’m willing to wait for lazetic, but another duk type who can play wide or up top as well.

I actually wondered if it was the other way around. He’s had some game time, limited I know, are we putting him in the shop window?

I’m probably in the minority but I didn’t want him last year and not overly enthused about him coming back. I’m eager to see what lazetic has to offer and expect him to be our starting 9, can’t see him or yengi agreeing to come here as second or third choice. Especially if morris goes I really want a legit winger and a Rama midfielder. While morris has been far from consistent and struggled when starting, without him we really haven’t seen someone attack the line on the right and morris was effective at times. Think we’ve done a really poor job at getting a center midfield balance post Ramadani, plus really question how we ended up with yenhi and Ambrose. Interesting few days ahead.
