It's just a pity other teams seem to be up to speed better than us, including diddy teams. 

Having watched part time Stirling Albion hold Hibs to a 1 all draw in normal time, its clear that we are not the only top league club facing difficulties with lower league clubs. Suggest you take off the blinkers.

No Stephen McGinn................

 

[Dan Is The Man 741]

About to complete our pre season and we can’t even fill our bench. Questions genuinely need to start getting asked about this transfer window. Pretty pathetic.

[farmer john 1,246]

I have been missing recently...is that Kyle McAllister on the bench?
And does that line up mean P McGinn in central defence?
Doesn't look all that strong I must say.

[paul torfason 477]

Big Gary mac must be injured also,absolutely down to bare bones of a squad, and must be one of the worst starting 11 since bad old days

[foxbar_bud 1,716]

That is some line up

A centre mid at RB
A centre mid at LB
A RB at Centre Half
Jack Baird

4 central midfielders

2 forwards

A bench consisting of 4 teenagers and a sub goalie

Absolutely shambolic state.

No John unfortunately not he’s one of our young boys

Merely lulling the opposition into a false sense of security. Surely this (scarcely believable) team will manage to score and be good enough to win tonight.

[belfast billy 422]

Looks like Paul mcginn at centre back right enough

Naw, John.

 

He's a new youngster, promised to be in 1st team squad by season's end, apparently.

[Wendy Saintss 2,654]

8 of the starting line up were regulars at the end of last season plus we’ve got 2 new signings in the side.

We’re up against Albion Rovers ffs so no excuses!

[Cornwall_Saint 4,025]

Did Paul McGinn play CB or RB against East Kilbride?

Has he fallen oot with another manager? I would imagine Goody's opinion of what a captain should be is a lot like he was?

[Ethan 1,075]

In gus we trust lol. McKenzie should have been shown the door. He is never fit. No Kellerman either. Goodwin needs to clear the decks. You have to feel sorry for thd guy. 

[Hendo 3,041]

If we go to Easter Road with that team we'll be hammered.

The positive is it won't be our team for the season.

The bad part is it's likely to be that team plus only 4 or 5 additions likely of varying ability...

Yikes

[Cornwall_Saint 4,025]

Our fourth competitive game of the season and we have two defenders available, and the only experience on the bench is the backup goalkeeper?

This was meant to be one of our two hopes of a trophy this season. Thanks to the snail paced recruitment we’ve completely bombed in a piss easy group.

Hopefully we can win this in 90 and have a tiny bit of dignity.

Djorkaeff isn't a natural winger either

As much as I think McKenzie has been one of the better signings in the last 4 or 5 years I was surprised he was given another new deal (unless the new deal took account of his injury problems). While he has played a decent number of games in his first couple of seasons he has been injured every season - partly down to throwing his body in harm's way for the sake of the team, last season I think he only featured in six games or thereabouts.
