From Thelins statement it sounds as if he had been told he wasn’t going to get game time. He reminds me of Efe Ambrose in that he was a decent player generally but just too prone to a howler.

I haven’t seen him in person yet but Wikipedia says he’s 6ft 2in? Is that wrong Rico?

Great Draw. At home to Queens Park

I think we need to see how the new recruits are looking over the next couple of months before we can really say what we need come summer. Only obvious ones are replacements for McGrath and McKenzie.

Kinda sad the way it worked out with Duk. The run in during the first season under Robson he was great and I feel like he would have been remembered very fondly if it weren’t for his antics over the summer. I don’t think he’s ready for La Liga, so even if the rumoured sell on is correct I doubt it will amount to much.

Duk confirmed away.

I hear this young guy Timothy Akindileni who QPR are trying to sign from us is a left sided center back. I know he’s young but if that’s what we need maybe we should offer him game time to stay. Can’t be any worse than Ruby.

Looking at his stats he doesn’t seem to have scored more than two in a season prior to this season. So I’d be wary about whether he can replicate the form he has now.

I think the hard sell might be the gulf in wages. I know Rangers aren’t in the best financial shape but if he’s offered 15k a week there compared to 5k with us he will probably go there. Its the difficultly for us shopping for proven SPL players. This is the equivalent of signing a Kenny Maclean, Scott Severin or Barry Nicholson but now Rangers are in for him I’d be very surprised to see him sign here.

At home to Dunfermline. Not a bad draw.

I feel like it’s a bit unfair to assume he wanted to go. He’s a local loon and could be an Aberdeen fan for all we know. I think people just assume the worst. Ryan Jack went to Rangers because he was a Rangers fan, I assume it could be the same for Barron but not all our players will be.

I would think Tobers is in with a good chance of starting. We have a bit of an injury crisis in defence and with Ruby also suspended we probably have little choice.

Were you seeing that Al?

The commenter (on the premier stream I think) did make a good point regarding Sievert in that he hasn’t had a break over the summer so is basically at the end of his season. When you consider this and his age is it possible we are just asking too much of him? Not sure if we could rest him in favour of Palaversa or if we need to further strengthen that area.

That was prophetic Al, any chance you could give me some lottery numbers for the night?
