| 61. Author: obiwanyouknowme Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 21:57 Think tonight showed middle to front we still lack cutting edge and creativity. Thought Gilmour and J Tod were really good. Thought A Tod looked tired and should have been off earlier and he’s not a striker. Shame Bray isn’t getting much of a chance. Really need a striker or 2 in the door and some creativity that should be the focus areas. Never win games if you don’t score. Few results go our way Saturday and a win by at least 3 and we might sneak into the next round. Post Edited (Tue 22 Jul 21:59) Reply |

| 63. Author: Never10yairds Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 21:59 Tonight shows we still need a few in before the championship starts. Got the win but weren’t overly convincing. Played some good stuff at times but there were negatives too. Hopefully Kane isn’t out for long and we see a couple of signings before we play Morton. Gilmour my man of the match.

| 64. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:04 Think to get out of group we needed to win by 3/4 goals tonight, a lot of teams in with a real chance of 9 points this year so will all go down to GD. Thought we looked fine today, played with more intent, but still need 3/4 players in - GK, CB, CAM, ST the main ones. Reply |
| 65. Author: coventrypar Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:08 J Tod will be in and out but he is a player. Spots where to run. Same his brother - lacked stamina but a good shift Cooper will do us just fine Amade. Class Gilmour - can graft. Really, really like him. Overall we are much more gritty and physical Otoo isn’t a wing back … not sure what he is. Bene doing well KRH looks like he knows he’s in 2nd place for the start and did better Shea … at last - quality crosses galour "If you have no kind words to say you should say nothing more at all" Reply |

| 68. Author: Vamos Pars Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:20 Berkey, Tue 22 Jul 21:54 Thats pretty much exactly what I said on my way home. We’ve got the makings of a good squad just need some quality additions to help the young guys out. Reply |
| 69. Author: par_33 Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:27 The Tod brothers will be good squad players this year, but aren’t ready for week in week out football at the Championship level. Got to remember John is only 18. Gotta manage the young players within the squad, play them, rest them appropriately etc. Andy looked absolutely humped for about 10 minutes before he went off. Look at the likes of Tierney, Patterson and Hickey, played every minute when younger and now paying the price with their bodies now. Gilmour - looked very neat, nothing special. Gets the job done. Amade - again, very calm and finds a pass, let’s hope he settles well. Kearney - looks a cracking player, crosses excellent, the type we needed with Mccann in the box last season. Tonight was always gonna be tricky, Hamilton aren’t a great quality team but always give you a tough match. So pleased to the get the win. Reply |

| 71. Author: Never10yairds Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:44 I’d agree with what some others are saying, Otoo isn’t a LWB at upper champ level. Kearney is going to be great at RWB tho. Surprised Bray hasn’t seen more minutes. He was by all accounts a top player in league one. Reply |
| 72. Author: OzPar Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:53 Six of the eight second-placed teams have better goal differences than us. We are on +2, while Ross County (+9), St Mirren (+7), and Inverness CT (+5) are already well ahead. We will need to score a barrel-load against Stirling to have any hope of advancing. Reply |
| 73. Author: Angus_W Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:53 I’d rather see Ewan Otoo in the centre of midfield winning the ball and driving forward. He doesn’t play to his strengths on the wing. “.........it ain’t over till the Pars score!” Reply |
| 74. Author: par_33 Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 22:56 Maybe Lennon is playing Otoo at LWB because he doesn’t fancy Ngwenya? Kieran might be an alright full back but I don’t see him as a wing back. It’s great to have a player that’s so versatile in Ewan. Reply |

| 77. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 23:15 Think Hamilton deserved some credit tonight. They stretched us at times and I’d be sticking my cash on them winning their league this season. A bit powder puff up front but a good solid display from them. We were a bit flat for large portions of the game and crying out for players to grasp the ball and change it. Mullen did that very well and Otoo second half was effective as was Hamilton when he came on. Showed real heart we were lacking at times. Andy Tod was clearly tired and should not have played as long as he did but he had a good game as did his brother. Very doubtful we can qualify now so let’s just go out on Saturday and try different things to fine tune the squad leading up to our league campaign.

| 78. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 23:20 Not long home and happy with the win, although I thought we were a bit sloppy at times and let Hamilton back into it more than we should have. That said, over the course of the match, I think the better team won. There’s clearly a big improvement on last season, no doubt about that. But if we’re aiming for a proper promotion or play-off push, I still think we’re a little short of where we need to be. Some of our phases of play are excellent, and off the ball we look like a strong, physical side, but when we hit those sloppy spells, they really show. Like many others, I was seriously impressed with Kearney, especially going forward. For anyone who questioned the decision to release Comrie, I think you got your answer. Comrie’s a good player, but he doesn’t deliver balls into the box like that, and he certainly doesn’t get forward with that kind of intent. My biggest frustration is that we don’t have a proper target man to get on the end of those crosses. Just imagine what someone like Andy Smith could have done with that kind of service… I suppose strikers like that are a dying breed, but if Lennon can unearth one, they’ll be in for a shedload of chances. The new boys impressed again. Amade and Gilmour look like they’ll complement each other well in the middle of the park, and their use of the ball was really encouraging. McLeod looked tidy when he came on, composed, picked out a few good passes, and definitely someone I’m looking forward to seeing more of. The Tod brothers were excellent too. Still young, and they’ll have their ups and downs, but you can see they’ve got a big future. Tonight also highlighted where we’re still lacking. Otoo, didn’t offer much threat down the left again. I just don’t think that role suits him. It’s also becoming pretty clear that there are a few players under contract who just aren’t in Lennon’s plans. I’d be curious to know where he stands on Ngwenya and Bray. I’ve said from the start that NL doesn’t seem to fancy Ngwenya, and nothing so far has changed that impression. And once again, Bray didn’t get any game time. All in all, yeah, I’m pleased. Lennon talked about steady progress, and I think we’re starting to see it. We had to dig deep for the result, but we got it. Roll on Saturday! P.S. Goes without saying, really hoping Kane’s injury isn’t anything serious. Looked like an impact knock from where I was sitting, fingers crossed it’s nothing more than that. 🤞 Reply |
| 79. Author: DRreturns Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 23:24 The amount of folk on here that clearly have no idea what they’re talking about is comical. The squad depth is very deep for most positions. 3 more signings is all we need to be fully covered across the squad. A GK, CB & ST Otoo was playing as an inverted wing back and is by far the best wing back we have. He’s playing there because he’s the best player to play that position. We don’t play with “wingers” We’re loaded with midfielders, laiden with them! Kearney looks decent going forward, very poor defensively so will need to improve hugely. I’m here to take over!! Reply |
| 80. Author: coventrypar Date: Tue 22nd Jul 2025. 23:27 Agree with you AdamAnts ... you said : "Very doubtful we can qualify now so let’s just go out on Saturday and try different things to fine tune the squad leading up to our league campaign." I expect Kane to be out after injury tonight so that creates options. Lets see what Bray, McCleod, Ngwenya, Davidson can do and give a wee nudge to to T Sutherland, Sam Young and Connor Young too We have a squad that is exciting and 2 or 3 to still come in... bring this season on !!
