From that comment, can I ask if you think we have enough in terms of numbers, irrespective of quality?

Second question, what happens if FGR is replicated on several occasions then we haven't got any options to change the team until January? It's feasible that any team could be out of touch by the time the next window opens and we, with a smaller squad, would be very vulnerable.


To answer your first question, no I don't think we have enough in the squad as things stand. IMO we're 2 or 3 short of where we need to be in terms of depth. We certainly need a mobile, powerful striker, a left wing-back, a winger and possibly another right back.

Whatever we or any other team do is ultimately a gamble isn't it? We may sign another 4 playes and still struggle until Jan... Alternatively we may sign 1 or 2 and start putting together some very good results. We can only go on what Michael Jolley thinks is sufficient.

To re-iterate, I like MJ. But, this is his first full season as a League manager and, whilst I was really impressed with the turnaround at the end of the season, I don't think he necessarily needed the build-up of expectation & the 'Jolley revolution' marketing.

Quoted from Les Brechin
Anybody else get searched last night before entering.

I was searched by a female steward and had my ticket checked before entering and then had to show my ticket again at the top of the Findus steps as I went to take up my seat.

Hope this isn't going to be the norm from now on!



Apparently the club, like all the other clubs holding matches last night , were asked to be more vigilant on security in light of the terror attack.

Can I be the first to say we can now concentrate on the League?

I heard it said about 15 seats along & 6 rows down in the Main Stand last night - they were the nearest to us!

Think the checking of tickets in the Upper was nothing to do with terror attacks, more to stop the cheapskates in the Lower trying to sneak up to the premium  more expensive seating

Well you can never be too careful. The chances of a runaway car driven by a terrorist  in the Upper Smiths must be even money.
