    how many goals has he scored in the four or so years since he left us? Is it in double figures?

    well if he just takes a wee drop to £51k a year he'll be in our price range.

    From what I can make out from a brief look Zander has more clean sheets whilst playing fewer games than Kelly, has made more saves and conceded fewer goals.

    Thanks for comments guys and big thanks to Steve McQ for enabling us all to have fun throughout the season.
    Tend not to post often but enjoy reading the banter. Abernethy - maybe a change of strategy next time - the fast start was good but running out of puff and running up the white flag indicates some warm weather, high altitude training might be beneficial :). sixties and Hoodlum seem to be in a wee world of their own ! 541 - you sure gave me a scare or two !
    Looking forward to next season, going off for some warm weather training, beer and ouzo in preparation for a three in a row attempt!.

    Well, that was disappointing.
    First half we played fairly decent stuff, especially down the right, where Spoony and Foster were linking very well. Some good moves which should have been finished off better. By the way, there seem to be a few on this thread suggesting we had no shots on target. We did in the game I was at. Could easily have had a couple in the first half and that wouldn't have flattered us.
    Second half was very flat, though. After all the good work down the right in the first half, we stopped doing that in the second half and concentrated on the left. That was a real problem. It's very unfair to judge someone making his first competitive start in 18 months, but Beaston was a bit of a problem. He was clearly concentrating on being competent and not making mistakes but it meant there was no creativity or flair there. It was all too slow and ponderous.
    Their second was a shocker.
    I'm tempted to make Olly Hamilton my man of the match, if only because he was buzzing about with a real sense of urgency which others lacked. He made some really sharp moves into space but no-one passed to him. It would have been interesting if he'd been there in the first half to pick up some of Spoony's and Foster's balls into the middle.
    Danny worked hard. A couple of times he worked his way into the box and should have gone for goal but didn't. Danny from a couple of years ago would have had a shot and probably would have scored. Confidence, I guess.
    This is a frustrating team. It's on the verge of being very good, but doesn't deliver. Again, it seems to be a confidence thing.

    Final game of the season, and I'm coming up for it. I hate bloody Hamilton and their shit ground and their plastic pitch, but this was the only date I could make.
    Since they lost tonight against the fake Saints, they're still in danger of being in the play-offs. Let's make that happen.
    Saints to win - 3-0. Hat-trick to someone, because it seems like an awful long time since we last had one.

    We'll be looking to rely on Gordon and Hendry next season, better to find out if they're not up for it now than at the start of a new season.

    If Watt was head and shoulders above everyone else then I'd play him. But he's not. I'd much rather be playing Hendry and getting his confidence and experience up in advance of next season.
    Similarly Joe. Liam is going to be playing for us next year and I have confidence in him. So again, play him now and let him build his experience.
    Finishing seventh is good (especially financially) but we also need to build for next season. Start now.

    Our goal was apparently a gift from the fakes which is a massive disfavour to Kano who did well to win the header then continue to chase the back pass and then beautifully finish with the outside of the foot.
    full credit to Callachan for racing in to calm foster down before an inevitable red.
    as for the time wasting it was hardly hamiltonesque ball boys losing balls  or keepers taking 10mins to take a goal kick a at the start of the match.
    i absolutely love it when we’re a goal up and head to the corner flag at the end of the game. Macca was the king at it
