    I think that's something every team suffers with when a new head coach comes in. Much rather it happens now than during the season though.

    Think we have seen some pretty clear progression in each friendly so far, as long as that keeps going we will be fine.

    Agreed. We lost games with Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms in the team. Similarly we won games without a striker on the pitch. It's an easy and lazy assertation to make.

    We lost a lot of goals when we lost those 2 but we also lost some good defensive play, Ross was great at defending corners.

    if we are looking to spend 5m on a striker then he has to be the right one for me because right now that’s a lot of money for us to splodge on one player.

    So like my initial point is rather we take our time in making sure it’s the right one.

    Of course but that's the thing I don't think we will, we will be shopping in the 1-3m range I imagine

    I thought that was obvious.

    Imagine if we signed Keiffer Moore then announced people would have to pay an extra £130 for a season ticket ...

    ... that's a massive difference, so much for Gibson, 'Man of the people'.

    There's a chance O9 will have to cover Trai this season.

    Pembele definitely away? Suppose it he’s not involved tonight it’ll be quite telling

    Are we in agreement that we need 2 strikers, not just 1???

    Depends how Mayenda does imo ...

    ... ideally I'd expect a signing and a loan as well.

    I totally agree with you on your points. First impressions of Le Bris have been good for me, I like the way he wants the team to play and especially the way he says he wants to educate the players to think for themselves on the pitch and make better decisions. Ideally everything clicks into place fairly quickly

    In a perfect world yeah. A permanent and a loan would be how I'd look to do it, with Hemir and Rusyn leaving. However I would be ok with just signing one and keeping Rusyn.

    I want Mayenda in and around the squad in either situation.
