    I think they might use the word nonentities, but you never know?
    Probably, but I wasn’t the OP and I knew what he meant

    Agree mate. We do seem to have a habit of skelping English clubs, at any level, in preseason.

    But you are right, the optimism doesn’t come from wins against none entities like Burton or Hartlepool. It’s the style of play and the recruitment of obvious attacking talent that is so encouraging. I’m really looking forward to next weekend, not sure who to pick to be honest but I feel there will be goals and entertainment no matter what - that’s a massive change from last season.
    I see a couple of folk have commented on that phrase. It's certainly not one I would use about any club mate. Its my opinion that EFL fans and English fans in general have a poor view of Scottish football because no matter who they support the final measure of their game is the EPL and when it comes to that we are indeed miles off it. That and the fact that they see very little Scottish football apart from a never ending diet of the Ugly Sisters pumping the likes of Ross County and Motherwell on SKY and sadly listen to too many Scottish players who have spent the vast majority of their careers in England talking our game down on the likes of Talk Sport.

    In the end no club is a 'nonentity' their fans love their clubs just as we do and that's something we should never be arrogant enough to forget.

    JDH was absolutely hopeless last season and contributed nothing most weeks.
    We're struggling if we're pinning our hopes on him.
    Hopefully he rams these words down my throat but I'm not convinced he's good enough.
    You’re rarely happy and even rarer to say anything positive. JDH looked very good at the start of last season. He also looked good yesterday. He’ll make a very good contribution this season and I think he’ll do just fine in this exciting new team.
