A Son of the Rock

The new league season starts today at 3.00 at the Rock.

This must be the least I’ve looked forward to “the big kick-off” in years. The manager’s signings of new players (only three remain from last season) have not been inspiring to say the least. We look particularly light at centre back and up front. (The midfield’s not so promising either.)

I know we won at Annan but they weren’t very good on the day and we’ve been comprehensively thumped twice since.

I note taht today’s opponents Raith Rovers haven’t been setting the world on fire either but that’s no guide.

I hope to be proved wrong but at the moment I can only see a long, hard season – and struggle to avoid tenth and automatic relegation – ahead
