That was a wonderful pass from Simpson, and a good run from Wright. Better.

Itten has put himself about well.

Simpson is a weird one, for me: I feel like he reads the game well, but then doesn't... follow through? He'll read the ball, intercept it, then dawdle and put himself under pressure. If he could learn to follow through he'd be a good option.

Kelly and Patterson have been good. And Kamaradona.

Wright's been disappointing this pre-season, hasn't he? Quite quiet.

The cheers when Duffy touches the ball...

Here's their press release, if that helps:

I've dug this out: "The vast majority of sides in the Championship are comparable to half the SPFL, you could swap St Mirren, Ross County and Motherwell with Dundee, Raith Rovers and Dunfermline and see no change in quality." --JohnMc, May 12.

I understand where you are coming from, but I think you're caught up on the league -- again, if I may say so, because you had a similar issue with our B-team playing in the lowland league. I suspect it's down to play-style. Dunfermline are expected to do well and dominate games. I think this is preferable to defensive football in a relegation fight. I think he's expected to make a big contribution to that. You've probably read this, but Mulholland said, “we believe that their style of play and excellent grass surface will be conducive to Kai making a big impact.”

I don't mind it. I suspect it looks busier in that photo than it will on the pitch. I don't care for that orange thing on the collar.

Kennedy is contracted until 2024, isn't he? If we think he's a top talent, there's no point in selling him now.

(At least until he misinterprets our next formation... ? )

This vote's not even close, surely? A goal from the half-way line should be enough on its own to win. But the build-up: Roofe shrugs off about 4 players, dummies another, then nutmegs the last. And then smashes it into the net. In the last minute of the game. In a swimming pool.

Now that my twitter link has failed... I would now like to formally, unreservedly apologise to @der Berliner for my rude and dismissive post.

My post (twitter link) is not loading for me either, now...

Yep. I suppose it's a different source.

Did you even have a look at the post above yours... ?

Top of the league.

I get the sense that Hagi has more potential to unlock, whereas Kamara has, not so much peaked, but his game is developed; he plays to his strengths, but I don't see masses of potential to unlock. If that makes sense... ?

I hope I don't jinx it, but our first qualifying round should be winnable. It's the next round that will be quite the obstacle. Seeing some of the names, I just think it's going to be very difficult.

The season must be fast approaching: @DMAA has come out of his burrow.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK, SIR!
