Interesting. Was a good player for Hibs but generally had a poor season for them last year. Not against the signing, but would rather Lobban given the opportunity.

I'm going for the weekend - Artistic Gymnastics, Boxing, Swimming and Basketball

Much better second half. Moved the ball quicker and had more legs across the park. A lot of our deliveries into the box are still dire, though Armstrong delivered a couple of quality balls and Ronans corners were in the main very good. Olusanya caused his usual chaos, Lyons came onto a game second half, though we still need a first choice RB, and Obi two was better at LB. Nisbet hat trick - can’t ask for more than that. Third goal was the pick of the bunch, excellent move and finish. So optimistic signs second half, but still plenty work to do…

Anyone know an Aberdeen fan/ lad from Aberdeen who was at the Wolves vs Maidenhead pre-season friendly today? We spoke briefly after the game and I would love to find him. Blonde, slightly bearded, said he was staying down in Maidenhead for a few nights

On the performance, took Lyons a while to settle in at right back but eventually he warmed to it and we essentially had five players across the middle and stretched Queens. Knocked it about okay, but the concern was some of the balls into the box weren't great from midfield. But, aye we were fine. I said previously Lyons will get a few goals this season, but outwith him and Nisbet it's a concern. I get it, it's early, but no-one looks like they're pushing Nisbet for a starting spot.

There's still a Commonwealth games?

Good win again. Fitness of the top side showing in this one, we were much better second half. The subs made a difference, with Armstrong especially looking very good, and bringing the best out of Ronan too. I do like Kjartansson too, his positioning is excellent, I hope he is given the opportunity to develop here if we've turned down offers for him. Looks like we're going to have to really on the carnage brought by Olusanya a lot this season! Not sure about the Morrocan lad yet. Overall, we were fine though. Need to keep Armstrong fit.

League Cup final this year is on Eoin Jess' birthday. It's meant to be. Edit: Also three days after Stephen Robinson's birthday. It's definitely happening.

I was getting a wee bitty jittery all the time it was 1-1! Couple more goals please. Still got time

YYYAAAASSS!!! .... Lyons ... 4-1

Do they have a Seagull Management Plan in place, at Palmerston?

I'm going to call him anonymous more often

Double jinxin .... 3-1 ... Nisbet 😃

And now the h-t

Good jinxing - goal from...

YAASSSS!! ... Nisbet! 2-1

This isn't great. Nisbet totally anonymous. Stale safe play. Needs to be much better.

Anyone going then? Feels very low key with the reduced number of events and no BBC coverage. We’re heading to the swimming on Friday and Saturday night.

I've barely watched the first half. I actually turned it on just as Queen's scored, so I can't comment too much on the half. However, it's maybe what we needed in pre-season (which is what it is), falling behind and having a few moans from the fans. Just a wee kick up the arse. Certainly the goal we concede, Aremu is a little too casual in possession and in trying to win it back.

Pretty dire stuff. Several issues but one point I’d to make is that Nisbet is never suited to a 3 up front / lone striker. He works much better when there is another striker in there. Crying out for some decent full backs though.

I'll start and end with a positive It is a lovely summer evening here in Dumfries. Nothing else to add apart from the face that this young gull had the freedom of our right hand side for over ten minutes without being disturbed

Somebody tell Lyons the rules of the game do allow the ball to be passed forward as well as backwards.

Whilst not working the keeper hugely I was impressed with how we responded to going behind.

Pretty poor first half. On this showing Happe will struggle with pace of premier league. Very little being offered by midfield and wingers. Second half can only be better.
