I like Jamie for that role. Doesn't need pace but can time his runs to get on the end of things or step back to space to pick the ball up 30/40 yards out and look to 1-2 or get shots away.

 

Kind of a Paul Merson role, what I'd call an old fashioned no 10, when it was more a forward.

 

Jamie's biggest asset is probably his finishing.

 

Yeah, it's a good way to utilise him natural instincts and movements which are excellent around the box. His run for the goal against St Mirren being a typical example.

 

Also helps address our lack of strikers.

What? That he’s a drain on our finances and not worth the money?

Still our top player when fit but I understand where you’re coming from

Jimmy Dunne playing in the other game 

 

 

I take it the two teams they will play will be probables and possibles. 
anyone know if we are playing first choice team?

Burnley teams are a mix of first choice and some youngsters.

He’s fully fit. 

 

These rumours get more outlandish by the day. 

 

Looking forward to the usual arguments when we lose this. 'it's only a friendly' 'I expect 100% regardless of a friendly' etc.

We still need to sort that defence out. Not going to be able to rely on Berra, Souttar being injured and Halkett (for me) not a natural defender. Really need two in but definitely one.

Read a Celtic fan moaning when Gordon left that he never saved a single penalty for them. 

 

It only made me love him more.

Did he not save one against us?

Wighton up against their giant Centerhalfs. 

 

Our RB vs. Dwight McNeil, the best crosser in the country.

 

Halkett v Chris Wood, that'll be an absolute massacre.

Wood and McNeil are playing in the other game against Mansfield.

Apart from the one in the champs league play off that netted them about £25 million.

Except neither McNeil or Wood are playing at the moment.

Craig is not great at saving pens. The world goalie i have seen at pens is Bobby - he dives before the taker starts his run up.

Quite brave playing sides like Sheffield United and Burnley. 

 

Seeking a good level for games. 

The League is a given, but our aim has to be picking up one of the 3 Cups on offer this season.

I see absolutely no benefit in taking a pasting in pre-season friendlies.

It's our aim every season. 

We have done it a handful of times in 50 years.

I agree, it will be a great workout for the team.

All about preparing for the Scottish Cup Final against Celtic in December.

The trouble is that you don't know the score before the game has been played.

 I read the above all wrong, think I've been ignoring football for long enough now. I'd read on Twitter that we have a trialist in the squad, and at first I thought what you posted was full details of our goal, and that it had been scored by Burhea, and I assmued that he was our trialist. Glad I didn't go into Google for some information on him, I could have been there for a while, if not forever.
