We would still like to add one, two or three. There’s a real air of excitement and optimism for what lies ahead for this group of players, but we’re still not done. There’s lots of energy, plenty of youth as well and we’ve played some really good football in the last couple of games, particularly in the game against Dumbarton. I think the supporters that have been to the last two games can see the quality that we brought to the squad, there’s a real freshness about it. “I think the business we’ve done already in the transfer window has been has been outstanding and a lot of credit needs to go to the recruitment team, Steven Gunn, Director of Football, and obviously a special mention to the Board of Directors, the Chairman for backing me financially in this window and allowing me to do the kind of business that we have done. It has been a busy window so far, is it expected to stay that way and are there other players on the radar?Ī. If that does happen, then he will go straight into the squad for the game.” He is hopeful of getting his clearance tomorrow afternoon but again there’s no guarantees with that. “Lopes has trained with the group on Friday and Saturday and trained again this morning. I’m glad to see that the Bojan Miovski one seems to be moving along a lot quicker this time around and we hope to have him in the building at the tail end of this week, possibly Thursday or Friday in time for the game on Sunday against Raith Rovers. It took a lot longer than what we had anticipated. “The visa process was a little bit frustrating with Ramadani. On the goals front, Luis Lopes signed on Friday, subject to his visa application being approved, how has he settled into the squad?Ī.

We should have probably won both games four or five nil at least. That will probably be the only criticism I would have of the group. “This competition when you get to the end of the group games, it can can sometimes come down to goal difference so we have to be a bit more clinical in front of goal. I would like us to have a few more goals on the board. He had a good save at Peterhead and another good save against Dumbarton in our last game, so there’s been certain elements within the team that I’m very, very pleased with. Kelle Roos hasn’t had a great deal to do but what he has had to do he has looked very assured and confident. Obviously a couple of clean sheets has been very pleasing and gives the back lads a bit of confidence. I’m delighted with the the organisation of the team. Q: There are a few new faces in the squad, is having these competitive fixtures good for getting the squad to gel?Ī: “We want to try and build some momentum and get some confidence. ![]() ![]() We can’t take anything for granted and we’ll certainly prepare for this game the same way we have done in the previous two and we will hopefully get a similar outcome.” In the previous two games the level of professionalism and the application from the players has been exemplary, which is something I’ve commented on after both games and that needs to remain the same tomorrow night. Question: What are the feelings ahead of the game tomorrow?Īnswer: “We’re wanting a similar level of performance than what we’ve seen against Peterhead and Dumbarton.
