  1. Regardless of what point in the season they came in it still gave them 3 decent strikers. Dundee were an exception and tbh the league was p!ss poor that season anyway. Erskine and Andreu are midfielders but were both used more playing off the striker hence why I mentioned them. My post wasn't focussed on the last two seasons I just mentioned that I had been saying it for the last two seasons.

  2. Think for the last two seasons i've said that you need 3 decent strikers in order to get out of this league and for once it might actually happen. Hearts had sow, keatings and zeefuik. Hamilton had scotland, keatings and curier/andreu. Partick had Doolan, erskine and craig. I'm not too keen on housties 'experienced striker' approach as surely with baird at 29 that's experienced enough. We don't have a aerial presence at present upfront but that doesn't mean he has to go out and sign a big lump ie Lee Miller surely theres a promising striker down south that we could bring up on loan.

  3. I've not seen much of us this season and from what I watched last night it's a good thing. We don't have one player that can change a game and houstons got us playing so defensive you would have thought you were watching scotland away to the czech republic with levein in charge. Second half was a wee bit better and it showed that had we actually went at hearts from the start we might have had a chance. Tactics ruin football.

  4. With the players we currently have my starting eleven would be:

    Mcdonald

    Shaughnessy vaulks mckracken dick

    Taiwo

    Smith Cooper

    Alston

    Loy Biabi

    I would still prefer us to sign another ball winning midfielder and a striker as we can't rely on biabi, this season he should be slowly bled into the team and then next season will be his chance to cement a starting position.

  5. This is why our board never disclose the fee involved because either way they are fcuked if the fee is too low in supporters eyes(majority of the time) then rightly so the supporters get angry and if the fee is high then we rightly as supporters expect some of the money to go to the playing budget. Our board imo have proved they don't care about the supporters or playing side with this sale. Why sell your best player with no chance of replacing him with anyone of his calibre so late on in the transfer window. WHY ?. We know the money isn't going to be used on the team and even if it was going to be whos left out there the rory bouldings or going back a few seasons the sean higgins' they aren't going to improve the team. This 'exceptional offer' doesn't fly with me, mcgrandles was only going to get better and holding onto him till next summer would have been the best thing for the team and the best thing for the club in terms of transfer fee imo. He was only going to attract more interest especially seen as the so called 'big boys' are in our league. Mcgrandles is the best player we have brought through our academy to date why sell him for the first decent offer.

  6. Mcgrandles should never have been sold disgrace no matter what the fee, he was our best player by far and he was only going to get better he signed a new contract at the start of the season its way to late on in the transfer window for us to bring players in and we won't find a player as good as conor. Fuming he should have been our first £1million pound player and we should be the ones setting the fee just like hamilton did with mcarthy and dundee united did with robertson.

  7. No houston has stated that he is still after another striker and a left sided defender. Graham is heavily linked to being the forward hes after and going by houstons comments on the type of striker he wants it is him. If were going to get him it won't be until the last few days of the transfer window as I think macnamaras taking his time to work out whether hes needed or not.
