Team for Thursday

[Handsome_Devil]

Starting 4-3-3 at Thistle, and the performance during the brief spell with three at the back, suggests we'll be sticking with that to begin the season. Main questions are over McGinn being fit or not and who drops out for KVV. I reckon we'll have:

Kelly; McGinn, Mugabi, Lamie, Carroll: Maguire, Slattery, Spittal; Morris, KVV, Efford

Slightly off topic but the second leg will be broadcast...

For anyone in Canada - or that has a VPN. DAZN is showing it at 14:45 eastern

Kelly; McGinn, Mugabi, Lamie, Carroll: Maguire, Slattery, Spittal; Morris, KVV, Shields

I see we used the close season to iron out our defensive blunders then ...

Tragic return of FS Bevis.

The first 10 minutes were a disgrace, we'd actually settled apart from that howler, albeit without looking at all creative.

For once it looks like GA wasn't lying, KVV is a man down.

Now watch the PANIC buys, when we should have had our squad sorted and more games(friendly or otherwise) We already look like a team and manager in trouble this season. We look totally devoid of tactics and ideas. We will be the lowest scoring team in the league that is definite. Finishing 10th could be an achievement. These moans aren’t just based on tonight’s total inept performance but on our play since January

I still don't get your logic...surely panic buys are getting the first guys willing to sign early in summer rather than waiting for the right people?

That was shocking though, no argument...do or die for GA next week.

Handsome_Devil IMO the shrewd buys are done early to get your main targets in and acquainted with their new team mates and systems and tactics. The right people as you call them should have been identified long before now given how we played out the last six months of the season. It has been blatantly obvious that sinceTony Watt left we have needed a goalscorer 7/8 months down the line we are no further forward in finding one. The guy Mata that came on for them tonight even looked better than some of what we already have
