Given we had three trialists and a number of youngsters on show, I don't think we done too badly against a very good Steaua side.
A couple of sloppy goals gifted to them but with the squad having only just met the week before and playing their first game together, errors were always going to be on show - that's what pre-season is all about though.
I thought Scougall, as usual, stood out for us and Mensing looked a tough player in the second half. DJ made some top saves and will be gutted to have conceded the free-kick the way he did.
Was never about the scoreline though and more about getting minutes under the belt and guys getting to play alongaide each other - certainly won't have done anyone any harm playing against top opponents. Will be another tough outing against Dinamo tomorrow night.
Anyone know why Danny Denholm wasn't involved on Sunday?

I missed the game but noticed in del8boy's photos that both Talbot and Mensing wore the captains armband at points in the game? Was it a half each?
Wonder if that means it'll be one of those two and not Burton O'Brien that'll be skipper in the new season?
Wonder when we'll first see either of the new kits on show too? Thought we might have had it on for this one.

Wasnt overly impressed with the trialist but cant make a call on that game along as steaua are a top team and theres always a bit of nerves when your new to a team. Hopefully get another look at hime tonight.
O'brien and scougall both had good games for the time they were on and it was good to see burchill getting a run out.

Hi, not too sure which trialist you mean but one of the the them is Niel Haistings who is or was our reserves and youth coach ! I do not think he has played for several years and plays at centre half ! One of the others is Burkes son who plays centre mid, cant find any history on where he has played ? Maybe someone else can enlighten us ?

Anybody recognise the trialists? #15 looks like Peter MacDonald but he's signed for Dundee. Looks like Kyle Wilkie. He was at Morton last season.
