We still have too much quantity on the books though.

I think we have signed players who will genuinely contribute to the team, whereas a lot of signings in the past have been fairly questionable. If the aim of the club is promotion then I dont think we signed anywhere near enough 'quality' however.

I agree that Allan, Farid, Gray and Kennedy are better quality but we are still a long way from having a quality team that will challenge for promotion.
Unless we sign 3 quality signings before the window slams shut then we are in for a season of mediocracy once again.

Seemed to find some space and looked like he had a decent range of passing and actually looked like he might be capable of playing a killer pass.

very well sad delbert 100% agree
It just seems nothing changes, we win, we lose, we dont do nothing to sort the problems out to why we lose, club says something which alot of people just accept it.
Imo at the moment we ll be mid table, no chance of going up and at the moment we would lose a play off.Unless something happens

i agree but this seems to be a problem with us, we are losing and there seemed to be like a stoll in the park mentality about the game in parts.
On a side note, did anyone else notice the hibs fan(s) in the ff lower that were messing with the ball and then when the ball person came to get the ball they throw it towards the west?
It was in the second half when WE were losing

In other words we have no ambition so we arent giving Stubbs the funds he needs. The guy is completely restricted. Different cheif exec but same old story

Was thinking this on way home - we have quantity in a strange way but seriously lacking in quality.
There were 2 or 3 Falkirk players I would have in our side today.

If (and it is a big but very possible IF) the club are playing the long game with no intention of promotion this season due to The Rangers and THEM, I wish they would have the balls to admit it, because to me, that appears to be the plan : scrimp and scrape as usual this season with the aim of promotion next season

I thought Allan and Kennedy showed a lot of quality today, Farid's goal last week would suggest he has quality and I think everyone has been impressed with Gray. So I suppose there would be at least an element of truth in it.

It's an absolute given that Hibs will do what they seem to do best.....scrimp and save, wait 'til the eleventh hour, and bring in a 'Matt Done' - let's be brutally honest about things, nothing behind the scenes seems to have changed, the emphasis clearly is not getting out this division and winning the thing. It's merely to just be here and make up the numbers. Well and truly sick of it.

I do think we will see at least 2 loanees. Maybe more dependent who if any we move on.

Every player signed by Stubbs is quality (jury out on Oxley imo). What we need is a quantity of quality signings.
Heff, Craig and Harris were shocking. Craig has all the posturing and pointing of a captain and shows for the ball but he does absolutely nil with it. He's too busy pointing where folk should be without giving thought as to what he should do with the ball when he has it. He's like a traffic warden on LSD.
Allan is a touch of class, I spotted that straight away. Kennedy is eager and talented too. El Alagui starved of support.
IMHO, if Harris hugged the touchline like Kennedy did we would have won that. This formation is set up to play triangles between defence and midfield until such an occasion arises to spread it. If you had two wingers with chalk on their boots, we could have sucked in their midfield and played it out wide to a winger leaving him one on one with the full-back with two strikers in the box. As it was, Harris kept drifting in and did hee haw whilst Heffernan was disinterested. If we had two El Alaguis and two Kennedys we would have won that game at a canter.
Over to you, Stubbs and Dempster."Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

LD is going to be taking quite a bit of flack this coming season if we fail to deliver promotion or at least put up a good fight.
Sad sad state of affairs.
Years and years of mismanagement has us in this state and I cannot see us doing much this season( hope I'm wrong).
Few injuries and suspensions already and we are struggling

We won't spend what we don't have. Is this the season to speculate in any case? We will be in the play offs.

It's one of our catchphrases, every manager over the last 10 years or more has said the same thing, it's propaganda to get people excited and buy season tickets, as usual they miss out on the big targets if they even had any and will get last minute rank rotten loan players on the deadline day, it's like Groundhog Day
I'd love to stand corrected but just can't see it
