    Midfield was posted missing . It was all long balls down the wings.
    Big jump in confidence after first few goals,
    Oh. Bates comes on , and first thing he does is manhandle their attacker.
    All a bit of a concern , even though just a warm up , down to the manager to sort this out pre-season
    Bates sounds like he's triyin his darnedest to get a move

    He’s a (slow and ponderous) liability - in close games, he could be the difference between winning and losing - get rid ASAP.

    Brechin xpassed it about well though. Cut through us in midfield " with ease," Their defence got pulled about by our pace up front. And not sure they actually had a shot on target ?

    New Goalie likes to play it out , short to defenders. Not sure if he can either throw or kick it out yet. Prem league teams will close our backs down , so reckon he'll need to mix that up .

    Stewart looked good. Hardly tested in this game. But still saw the full backs turn ball backwards or sideways when faced with a player to beat. ?

    Midfield was posted missing . It was all long balls down the wings. Which is fine if they were told to practice that. Obviously our first choice midfielders are yet to play. So hopefully we'll mix it up.

    Big jump in confidence after first few goals, and the team were hunting in packs afterwards. Closing Brechin down , and stealing ball off them. Couple of goals from that and other defensive mistakes.

    Suppose we can't read too much into it. " It's only Brechin". But great to see us scoring again. Finally !!

    Oh. Bates comes on , and first thing he does is manhandle their attacker. Penalty.......... This cannot go on .

    So, Peterhead. A team who are six players short of a full team. Already beaten by four goals v Dundee.

    We SHOULD. Pump them...............we'll see.!!
    Were you there???

    Any word who the captain was last night
    Great to see them scoring a bucket load despite the standard of the opposition
