First team games for preseason:

Saturday 27th June v Cove Rangers FC, Balmoral Stadium, KO 2pm

Saturday 4th  July v FC Twente FC, Sportcomplex GFC, KO 2.00pm (local time)

Potentially another game on the 11th plus  couple of close door games. 

Considering all the changes I'm quite impressed we have still been creating regularly. I've seen plenty I've liked this second half considering the context.

Hmmm. New signing got the finishing skills of olusanya?

The keeper has done well imo and he scores that far more times than he doesn't.

Could/Should have had a hat trick

Only if one was to seek negativity but that doesn’t happen on the internet, ever, so no.

Finally in, I'm sure that was absolutely worth it. Did the Dons bring a seagull?

Our finishing has been pretty poor but we’ve certainly been creative which is nice to see.

As long as he scores the winner against hearts on day one all is good. To be fair, no clue how fit or sharp he is.

Sitter? He hit the bar on one and keeper had a good save on another. Closer than last week.

Yes sitter - one on one with the keeper in the middle of the box is a sitter.

The new Moroccan lad missed a worse one (maybe two) mind. Could have had a hat trick. Just a bit rusty I’m sure.

Decent workout & everyone did fine. Played through the lines, got good overlaps and linked the play very well in general.

Lots to build on & be pleased with, so lets see what Tuesday brings…

Good to see a No9 with the hunger and enthusiasm to get into good positions in the box but def needs to bring a bit of composure to his finishing. Seemed to snatch at things, too keen to impress maybe. Agree with tlg, we didn’t weaken when we made the changes. Thought KMK looked sharper when he came on and really liked the look of Obi-Wan. Good communication and looked eager to get forward.

olusanya and mouloa both had more chances than nisbet, and got into the right positions. while we missed a few, great that we were creating, an area we really struggled last year.

I thought that first half Lyons and Yogane both looked good. Ronan looks a very tidy player and overall the team that started looked decent and pressed well. They also worked hard when they lost the ball which was pleasing to see.

Obviously there were a lot of changes second half but we continued to create chances. Marshal didn’t look out of place and I liked the look of Kjartansson. Maloua just needs to relax and hopefully the goals will come as he gets himself into the right positions.

Overall a good workout with a lot to like and it was good to see some of the younger boys getting a run out.

This is great to read. I know a lot has been said of the quality of opposition, but that's a decent hit out that involved some travelling, and a diet version of what we'll face on day one. Hopefully more composure comes with a bit more time with each other.
