Just surprised Jimbo didn't elbow anyone.

Tho as long as he's on our side he can elbow anyone he wants.

And so bring aggression into our midfield.

That was one of the worst games I've watched in a while, but it was almost solely down to the wind. Absolutely ruined the game.

We were decent enough in the first half. Liked the look of the back 3 and Camara puts himself about really well. The newest one Naamo looked sharp enough considering he's had one session with the team. Got the assist for the goal.

Lots of running from Sapsford and could have had a goal if not for a decent block/sclaffy finish.

Trapanovski first half got round his man a good few times but his final ball was a bit off. Good signs from him though.

Second half, can't really take it too seriously as we brought on a whole host of teenagers plus Sibbald, Pappoe and Odada. Pappoe stood out in terms of his physicality, won the ball back multiple times and looked sharp. Odada still terrifies me to be honest but I'm hopeful he can play a part this season.

All in all, more minutes in the legs and two more friendlies before the real stuff starts.

Today highlighted how badly we need attacking players in the door to be honest. 2 wingers and 2 strikers minimum for me. Although no Thomson or Fotheringham today again which might have given us a bit more options in that second half.

3 more friendlies, Zwolle,St  Johnstone and Oldham

If we get to next weekend with no strikers added at United then I'll start getting a bit concerned because at the moment we have very little up top and lack creativity. The laddie Sapsford looks like he needs a goal. He also looks like he needs some help. Changing to 3-5-2 with Pappoe in midfield alongside Camara and Sevelj and another striker up beside Sapsford looks the way to go. Thought Nammo looked good, his touch was very good. I'd see him competing with Strain (who imho is a weak link and doesn't seem to ever pass the ball forward) for rwb spot rather than just as cover. Pappoe  was impressive and Camara looks really good too. Thought Iouvo struggled as the game went on. Gave the ball away several times 2nd half especially. You saw him get frustrated at the forwards at one point. Also feel Strain doesn't offer himself on the right the way Ferry does on the left.

Naamo playing as a winger?
