Aye and I'm not convinced the team is even slightly better. 

And if Ramirez is hoping to come here and rediscover his goal scoring form of 4 years ago, Ive no idea who he thinks in that team is going to be setting them up for him.

I’d say it’s a slight improvement but I’d keep Hayes in ahead of McRorie 

Was expecting a lot more after Glass and Cormacks talk though - seriously underwhelmed if that’s our first 11 for the season

In case you’re forgetting we lost that game 4-0 ?

Just trying to point out that if that shitshow of a team somehow took third place to the last day of the season there is still a good chance we can be best of the rest next season. Would that be regarded as a successful first season? Probably considering the rebuild required.  Can’t see us being as bad as mid table like some predicting as the rest of the league is so poor.

Very underwhelming. Still praying we can secure  1 or 2 “star” signings before end of window.

We were 4th (by default) last season and not sure about anyone else but I’ll not be happy with a repeat of that absolute shit show. We were fucking terrible! ?

There is an argument to say that it is a slow rebuild strategy that they are pursuing, and that's why they are signing underwhelming journeymen.

But that does not tally with the noises being made by Dave Cormack. Be honest Dave, say its going to be a long journey and we can't afford to go for it this season, but that we're working towards something. 

But what he's done has basically made myself and presumably a lot more Dons fans highly skeptical of anything he says. 

The positivity might be genuine, but at the moment it just looks like smoke and mirrors.

Financial irregularities(see Cormack, D) will see that shitheap of a starting XI relegated.

Aye, looks like Cormack is full of hot air going by these “exciting signings” - his words.

The signings in the main have been underwhelming & we’re still light in numbers.

Really don’t want Mcinnes to get praised and papers to flock of Glass fails. Mcinnes left us in a absolute mess and deserves absolutely no credit that would come this way if it is a disaster.

Ramirez and Hendry - star signings

None of us want that, but burying our heads in the sand and not acknowledging the shit show that is unfolding in front of our eyes isn't going to change that. 

Cormack lied to us about Hernandez

He lied to us about Glass

And now unless something fantastic happens, it's looking like he lied to us about signings.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

The possible starting X1 for the European game;

                            Lewis

McCrorie Gallagher Considine MacKenzie  
                           Brown

       Hedges Ferguson Jenks Hayes     
                          Ramirez

Subs; Woods, Gurr, Devlin, Campbell, McGeouch, McGinn, JET,  Kennedy, McLennan

Does that look any better than last season? Maybe, but debatable 

[Guest milne_afc]

Ramirez ?

Heavily dependent if Ramirez does goals! He is under a ridiculous amount of pressure to deliver. 
 

imagine if the 3 signings he alluded to are Ramirez, Hendry and Gurr and Gurr and Ramirez are absolutely hopeless!

We also need to sign another striker even if he does sign.

Ideally a new winger & a centre half to go alongside Gallagher (but we’ll probably be stuck with another season of Considine)

Id take Considine for another season providing we get a quality winger and a good second striker in that isn't Hendry. Think we all expect Hendry to eventually arrive late in window. We should be looking to secure as a prospect as second striker.

Considine needs replaced. 
Great servant but he was creaking like fuck last season

Agree, he’s back up at best now and even then he shouldn’t be starting more than handful of games a season.

As it stands though, he’ll be a first pick.

There’s only that useless cunt Devlin as an alternative.
McCrorie might have to be used sometimes as a centre half. 

[1983]

I think we’d better get used to 60% possession, 2 shots on target and getting beat 2-0. I could see the return of the Craig Brown school of draws too.

He's been creaking like fuck his whole career.  Dreadfull positional awareness and can barely run. 

[ThomohawkKid]

Last 3/4 years people  doubt Consi on here every pre-season saying he’s “done” etc. You think people would learn by now. He played pretty much every minute last season. He is good to go again if needed. The Immortal Andy Considine!!

FIFY 

[RED_JOHN]

No point trying to debate Considine as his fan club are a bunch of weirdos who definitely have gay feelings towards him.

Will this team that Cormack and Glass have currently amassed be winning any trophies?

I don’t want to be critical but it certainly reeks of penny pinching currently…..still time to make it look otherwise.

Andrew Considine - A real NE man 

[Sonoftherock]

Thinks we look like we could struggle this season... always thought we need to allow Glass at least a couple of transfer windows.  Ramirez and the final addition are going to need to be good!

I remember Greg Stewart ran past him like he was Usain Bolt.

That’s when you know you’re slow as fuck, and that was a couple of years ago. 

[starryfish]

Think once teams in England are back training the transfer market will open up more and we may see more ins and outs.  Not ideal for us given one of our most important games of the season is a fortnight before the English leagues kick off.
