| 122. Author: summeragent Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 01:36 Saw some highlights and it looked like a pub match. 2 long kicks by the EK goalie leading to 2 awful goals??? Reply |
| 123. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 01:56 Watched the stream. They outplayed us. Wasn`t the best of starts to put it mildly. Weak all over the pitch, from front to back. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 124. Author: wetherby Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 07:43 Just watched the goals back as had to go out at half time( lucky me) can`t believe the second and third were virtually identical with a complete absence of central defenders in the middle. A huge amount of work to do -a complete tactical mess from what I saw. Three goals flattered us. Reply |
| 125. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 09:16 Raymie the Legend, Sun 12 Jul 01:34 Extremely well coached Raymie. Going through multiple phases constantly. Was like watching a premiership team minus the physicality. They`ll do well this year. Reply |
| 126. Author: MinnesotaAndy Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 10:27 Just watched the highlights. Pars were good for a couple of goals, but you need to take your chances. Conceded goals 2 and 3 were ridiculous. Our attack not pressing their keeper and our defense not picking up their attacker. E-K looked a good outfit and I expect them to win League 1. There is obviously a rebuild in progress for the Pars after losing three of our best players during the close season. Another 4 or 5 signings will likely get made in the coming weeks. Reply |
| 127. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 11:12 I’m sure the signings will come in but NL has lost valuable time on the training pitch and we may well get off to a sluggish start as a result ? ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Sun 12 Jul 11:12) Reply |
| 128. Author: LEGEND85 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 11:16 That`s my concern as well about more new signings which we badly need. It`s so important that we get off to a strong start this season if we want to do anything meaningful this season. Reply |
| 129. Author: GJS93 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 11:25 "Our attack not pressing their keeper and our defense not picking up their attacker" when they did press the keeper, he just knocked the ball into the free man 30 yards away who had no one within 20 yards of him, happened 3 times in the first 3 minutes of the second half. ill keep saying we need a lot more than 4 or 5 but with questions around the recruitment not just this summer, even if its only that number they are going to have to work a few miracles for it to work.

| 130. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 11:31 Wetherby for the second and third goal there was not an absence of a central defender Jon Tod just misread the flight of the ball and got turned similarly what happened for the first goal in the Scottish cup and then for the third we dropped gilmour into cb to make a 5 back after the subs and he lost his man Reply |
| 131. Author: Higgys Mohawk Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 13:37 The team were miles off it yesterday. Highlights the need for signings all over the pitch that a win may have glossed over. Need a GK, two CB’s, a RWB, a CM as a minimum. Shows how much of a loss JCM, Ngwenya, Todd will be. Lennon has his work cut out! Reply |

| 133. Author: GJS93 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 14:07 ^^ "“But we’ll definitely be going for another one, yeah.” Lennon before the match on keepers. Reply |
| 134. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 14:17 I think and hope we can get Ox back before the window closes. I think this week’s signing is to tide us over until then ? ![]() It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 135. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 14:20 summeragent, Sun 12 Jul 13:45 We did, but we lost 2 in the summer (Oz & Deniz). Think we all knew how much we’d lose JCM & Ngwenya, but we’re confident that we would bring in adequate replacements. Maybe Cleali-Harding was saw as the Bene replacement and Robinson and someone in the pipeline are the JCM & KN replacements?? I don’t know, I suppose what I’m saying is we just need to wait and see what happens. Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply |
| 136. Author: GJS93 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 14:52 "Need a GK, two CB’s, a RWB, a CM as a minimum" if plan A is going to be 442 then need 2 wingers as well but they are going to have to shift a lot of players also. "I think this week’s signing is to tide us over until then ?" the club has known for a year of positions that would need to be sorted, the keeper being one of them, even if its as a backup and they wouldnt have planned on Terrell being injured but is this guy really the best they could come up with, with a year to plan for it?

| 137. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 15:06 We really need more from Morrison. For someone we paid to acquire, it looks like we`ve come out as the losers in the deal. His end product just isn`t good enough. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 138. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 15:30 Sacktheref69, Sun 12 Jul 15:06 I think that is fair comment. Berkey also made a similar comment. He needs to be able to stand up to challenges a bit more, but that may improve with preseason training. Perhaps not try to compete physically but more work to his strengths in terms of trying to create space, try to get behind defenders and try and pick someone out with the crosses. G Wardrope Reply |
| 139. Author: nick_dafc1 Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 15:41 Sacktheref69, Sun 12 Jul 15:06 Why would you expect anymore from Morrison? He was good with Falkirk in League but time they came up to championship, he was out the team by Christmas as he wasn`t up to the level. Reply |
| 140. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Sun 12th Jul 2026. 15:42 Sacktheref69, Sun 12 Jul 15:06 Yeah, we’ve seen the best of him in flashes but in general, agree we need better. I don’t get some of the praise he got last season if I’m being honest. Loving You, Is In My DNA 🇾🇪 Reply |
