Passing sideways isn't in itself a bad thing. Issue seems to be team are almost caught by surprise when it does go forward. Seems an over reliance on passing back or sideways. Forward diagonal passes are proven to be the best balance of safety vs threat to opposition. Need to mix it up more and find at least 2nd gear when urgency requires it.

I worry that we can't. Passing and receiving technique look way below where they need to be, coupled with lack of movement, awareness we'll end up just giving the ball away. Lack of effort and urgency just isn't acceptable at any time at any level.

93rd minute and game ends with a sideways pass in our half, I mean what the f*ck. Game should end with ball in their half. Get on the bus, back to the astro and do some running cause no effort at all tonight. Adam's going to quickly learn he jacks the prices up we're expecting better.

Simo has some work to do. We can't send it long as it won't stick and can't play it out as we can't pass or receive. Not nearly enough effort off the ball and too many just waiting for something to happen. Worried we're toothless against a side just promoted to the Championship. Hopefully sickness related if not.....well a few need reminded of the expected levels every match.

Opposition aren't exactly sitting in. We're just poor all over. Technique from so many players looks well below Championship standard.

I had to close and open a few times. As for their goal can someone please tell our players to STOP playing blind horizontal balls in midfield. Kids mistake.

Aye, I'm finding the comparisons with Livi hard to take seriously. Now we may struggle but our signings have kept our squad consistent while adding some new faces.....surely more Falkirk than Livi. More important though is so many of the signibgs have chosen to be here. You simply just get more out of people when they have that mindset from the get go, we're not just "the best an agent could find"

This allows us to develop Hepburn by him going out on loan or are you suggesting we have him as No. 1 Every signing is a risk, but even more so with a keeper....just ask Dundee Utd. Toby is a known quantity, offers some continuity and wants to be here (this is so important for us getting the best out of the players). Yeah he'll not be permanent but hopefully gets us into a position where we can be more stable and make better plans owing to us not swapping divisions. Also let's not underestimate the impact of building a reputation with English clubs of being a great place for young plsyers to develop.

That would be an outstanding signing. Him and Diabate should work well together. His ability on the ball will be a huge asset. Was also pretty quick if I remember, or maybe just in the right place. Either way top defender.

They must be youth players, the "trialist" must be Bozo.

I think this is great news all round. Great for us and him. Continuity really important at the back. He'll have some bad moments but think he'll have a lot good moments and plenty games that look comfortable because of his positioning. Kudos to the club, lot of players we've brought in will have had plenty options. Some team ethos growing, surely worth a couple of points.

I think the point is that yes fans have a limited amount of cash to spend and the club would rather it made its way to our tills.

"Campus" is hardly American. Used all over the world to describe what we have i.e. not just a stadium.

Unopened bottles will last for decades. Once opened air will get to it a degrade the taste a little. Personally I'd drink it and keep the bottle (i'd love to buy a really rare and expensive one at auction and give everyone in the room a dram) but each to their own, nae rules in the collecting game.
