Really poor today defensively today. Not optimistic about Wasiri and Milne as a left side unit.
Not enough creativity in the middle of the park either. Think we are missing Turner as much as we are Tiffoney from last year’s set up.
Zander by no means had a poor game compared to the rest of our defence but we need McMillan back for a bit of experience and solidity.
I always thought we’d miss Turner.

No McMillan or Robinson tomorrow. Dools says they need another couple of days, so going with the youngsters again. He hopes to have “one or two” additions before we play Spartans.
The one or two additions could be crucial

Isn't there still a Director at the club who was part of the Dark Forces board?
Just the PTFC Trust twosome

This feels like a positive outcome for the football club in the long run.
Gerry will always be the King of Spain, but I agree with your conclusion. The last vestiges of the dark empire have been swept away.

OK - do we need a CEO _and_ a COO? Could Beth Adamson step up?
Beth is good, that might work. She’d get the players contracts ending on the right date for a start.

Turner has been the main loss. Not sure who will take the corners now. Lawless probably

I see Gerry B is off.

PPS. I presume that Hurricane Sandy was named after the forum poster.
Ahem…

A good result, one I didn’t expect

Anyone know why its only until January?
Presumably it’s what we can afford?

I’ll go for £20 too

I fear Goodwin will have kicked some butts after their loss to Spartans. They will come out fast tonight.

Apart from other things, JLow failed to communicate with the fans, failed to come clean about the finances and failed to engage with TJF.
She was a stunning success….not.

First time reading something from Doolan and I am thinking he is just trying to put a brave face on things.
He has a positive approach, within financial constraints, and believes in youth players. That’s admirable.

All this is past history & conjecture.
We are where we are and TJF has been instrumental in pushing for that change.

I can completely understand those who have an issue with the people who were parachuted into the PTFC Trust trustee positions before Ms Low departed. I don't think it's difficult to criticise the initial stage of their tenure.
The mood music seems to have changed radically since Ms Low left. I have no reason to doubt TJF board members when they refer publicly to a constructive working relationship having developed.
With hindsight, I prefer to think of some of the Low-era behaviours as misguided, ham fisted, but well intentioned. Perhaps I am being naive; perhaps Sandy and GRE are right? I honestly don't know.
What I do know is that the structural elements of this feel on a better footing, and while I don't think that proper fan ownership has been delivered yet, the road map set out at TJF's latest AGM appears to show a deliverable way forward in relatively short order. Wind back 6 months, and I didn't honestly see a path to achieve this.
Anyway, I suspect that much of this is largely irrelevant now. The Club (and supporter owners) won't find itself short of challenges going forward. We don't have the luxury of a large fan base. Pulling together with a common goal and shared vision feels like the only real option. That doesn't mean happy clapping toeing of the line, but it does mean everyone having a part and stepping up to play it as best they can.
Decent points David, thanks. The legacy of the last Board lingers a bit, we need to have erased it 100% IMO

One with a clear skills-based appointments mechanism and democratic fan representation, along the lines we see at other fan owned clubs, would be.
This reassures me @Woodstock Jag
Thanks

Update from club director Fergus MacLennan:
https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/update-from-the-board-12th-july-2023/
He’s part of the PTFC Trust who cosied up to Jacqui. He doesn’t deserve a permanent place on the Board.

Craigan was a clever player, but yes the likes of Gary Fraser had more raw talent.
