I'd imagine the club wouldn't have stood in his way if he had needed time off and would have understood completely his situation. More to it I reckon. Would not be surprise to see him sign elsewhere in the coming weeks.

Hahaha! Even I struggle to remember that...

Said it on the Alloa match thread and will say it again. He is everything I expected Darren Barr to be. Strong, consistent, aware, leads the back line more and is a solid defender. Since his settling in period (2 games) he has been excellent. I'd rather he was captain and got a chance alongside Buchanan. But that won't happen I don't think.

All proceeds to DFC. We'd be buying Messi in January.

Could always have a bit of a party night with various bands/entertainment. I know there are a few good bands amongst our support. Failing that, Moonster and BBPF could get their band back together and easily sell out the CID?

To be fair,it wasn't that different today. Only Ross out (who was rank in Dumfries) and Saunders back in who is a natural RB. Pushing Brown up one to the midfield.

Lol

Wow! Garry Fleming is not a natural striker and is definitely not a player who could score anywhere near 20 in a season at this level. He has missed more chances than anyone in the team this season. Many of them pretty bad misses. He is best deployed in the middle of the park, but we don't have any other strikers and have too many central midfielder's to make that work.

Yep, Sneak is moving south I think as well as having been working and playing matches. Too much on and I believe he didn't renew his season ticket for this year.

Was pretty happy with what was a relatively harmless meet the manager session today. Stevie recognised where we need to strengthen and made the changes for today's match which we went on to win. A nice change from the very stubborn approach Ian Murray always seemed to take. Doesn't seem afraid to admit where he has gone wrong and not scared to change things when they clearly aren't working.

Well that is exactly the thing. What do we have going forward? Creatively, absolutely nothing thus far. As I say, he may not be the answer in any way, shape or form but that's why I said a short term contract. Surely he wants to play rather than being a free agent. Maybe a rolling contract or a couple of months. If funds would allow of course! Likewise to Thommo I heard Hibs had him on trial but that was 6 weeks ago and not heard anything since so assume he still hasn't a club.

Just realised that Dylan Easton is a free agent after leaving St Johnstone in August. I reckon we lack someone who is a little bit creative going forward. Would he be worth a short term contract?

On the last few weeks showings we are nowhere near creative enough in the midfield for it to make any difference playing 2 strikers. I agree we must change and look to be more of a threat but midfield changes are also required IMO.

We'd do well to win a trophy by December.

Think he is the best football player we have at the team to he honest! Very good. Only negative for me is when we are behind he still tries to slow the game to suit himself. So frustrating to see last week when we were down vs Alloa. Looked as though we were the team winning the way we were playing, instead of being more urgent and going at them. I get that the whole team played pretty slowly but that is how Routledge plays all the time, which is great when we are drawing/winning.

Last time I seen confidence like that it was Jordo talking about Morton before the 3-0 defeat at Crappilow..

One in each end... Of the ground!

Still a very capable player. Should do well at that level! Pace is the only thing in question, but it should be less of an issue at a lower level. Wish him well wherever he signs!ETA: I know that pace has always been Andy's problem throughout his career.

That is fair, but we are in a slightly different situation with our part time status. I understand we have managed to snap up a couple of players who have dropped to the PT wages /training that come with us. But they are all older, injury prone or looking into coaching.

Any 'proven goalscorer's' will already have a club at this stage in the transfer window.

You would have thought so, but Oor Creepy was described as a striker and plays out on the right wing most of the time. Obviously we knew he wasn't an out and out striker from seeing him at Alloa but still, a striker?

Is he bound to be better than Smith? Most likely. Is he what we needed? Only time will tell. I have my doubts and would much rather have brought in someone up and coming on loan than someone who has been released from a team and not found another by this point in the transfer window.

I know Dylan Easton didn't do too great last season, but he would do much better in our current team I reckon. I'd be looking to bring in a young striker and another winger.

What chances are you thinking of? I didn't see our 'keeper make a save all day.
