| 41. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 15:55 We’re back to McPake & Tidser football this half. Over playing, little movement and every slow and ponderous…..don’t know where this half has come from but we have gone backwards in comparison to Tuesday night. Well done to Mehmet for a cracking save to keep the scores level 👏🏻 Reply |
| 42. Author: onandupthepars Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 15:57 We`ve got no penetration. Otoo can`t do it. Andrew Tod`s not looking like getting any through balls. Cooper, well he`d run on to something if we could play it through. We get to their 18 yard box and pass it about a bit and lose it. That`s the half in a nutshell. A big half to come? Reply |

| 44. Author: DAFCinBK Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 15:57 A very frustrating watch so far. Stirling Albion playing a reasonably solid shape, first to many second balls and breaking fairly well on occasion. We look anxious. Kearney not being as effective on the right as he was last game, Otoo getting a lot more of the ball and mostly doing nothing with it. Even when there seems to be a lot of space in front of him and a simple run and cross would do, he seems to cut back 3 times in 4, which slows us way down. Cooper and Young not really gelling yet, with a couple of one twos going awry. We also look nervy at the back - JCM and Bene in particular. Deniz had to make a couple of saves. Need a lot more drive in the second half. Reply |

| 52. Author: AlterPar Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 16:46 Ignore that, need an airdrie or Alloa goal now! Looks unlikely. Reply |

| 54. Author: wulliepar57 Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 16:53 well done Mcleod first senior goal ! and good penalty right in the corner Reply |
| 55. Author: Westies squint kicks Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 16:55 We need Ayr to get something from the game (v St Mirren) tomorrow then ? If a draw we need Ayr on Pens too as a St Mirren penalty win would take them to 9 points and a better GD. Post Edited (Sat 26 Jul 16:59) Reply |

| 57. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 16:58 Didn`t play particularly well, but a 2-0 victory. That the important thing. Confident penalty by Rory Mcleod. Three wins in summary, with a defeat to Hearts, cant complain about that. Young team, still learning so more to come over the season hopefully. G Wardrope Reply |

| 59. Author: DAFCinBK Date: Sat 26th Jul 2025. 17:00 Better second half. Honestly, I think our starting 11 looked a bit tired. Third game in a week for many of them. Subs definitely helped - McLeod, KRH, Ngwenya, Hamilton, Bray all brought energy. Positives - another great goal by Tod - the more he shoots early, on instinct, the better. - Mcleod looked good when he came on - creative, buzzing, wanted the ball and took a perfect penalty. - Bray looked better and quite direct. Shame he couldn`t have lifted his chance over Gaston. - KRH looked more dangerous than we have seen for a while, albeit against lower league opposition. - Ngwenya looked like he was trying to play the LWB role and to be honest, looked a bit more likely to beat his man than Otoo had. - No injuries. SA were a bit wild at times, especially when they tired, so glad we got through the game. Hope the others get a rest and come back fresh for the league. Obviously we need depth and experience in the squad as it showed today that the same first 11 can`t keep standards up with the high press when playing so many games on the bounce. Reply |
