Assuming mckracken is solid and holt brings in another good striker imo we have a team that can challenge. If we get a striker in preferably a tall one, roberts can drop back into the 3 infront of durojaiye we would then have three creative players that can make things happen and can chop and change positions to make our attack fluid.
Mcgovern
Duffie vaulks mckracken kingsley
Durojaiye
Roberts alston grant
Loy *new*
Durojaiye just sits in the hole and is getting better and better every week this allows our other three midfielders to play. Our big pitch allows us to play our game however we might struggle away from home (ala dumbarton) on smaller pitchs.

Glad to hear holts looking for another striker and centre back hopefully we will get them in soon.

Can we get a big centre half in and a striker on loan please mr ritchie.

By the sounds of that interview we can play trialists against clyde.

Am I right in saying we played a 4-1-2-1-2 against the fifers with durojaiye infront of the defence and fulton just behind the strikers ??

That was because the falkirk herald already told everyone who he was.

I prefered loy to roberts he looked better on the ball and also looked for the ball all the time and was unlucky not to score. Both look good but both are a bit lightweight.

What was rory loy like for yous ? Hes playing as a trialist for us tomorrow and also played against forfar on tuesday and scored twice.

Holt saying on the official site a trialist and loy will be playing tomorrow.

I believe durojaiye will be a great signing for us. From the games ive seen him play his passing is good with both feet and quite like millar he takes in the short passes and spreads it wide.

I feel durojaiye, alston and fulton are big enough to compete physically. It will be interesting to see what formation we play as from the friendlies it looks like durojaiye will sit just infront of the defence but some friendlies weve played with two upfront and others weve played with one.

We need at least two strikers in and another cb weve got enough midfielders imo.

Sell taylor for 200+k and offer scumfermline peanuts for morris. Im surprised holt hasn't even brought in a few loan signings surely norwich or paul lambert could give him a few promising youngsters without paying too much wages. If taylor goes and we only sign one player ill be devastated.

Herald reports rotheram put in a 200k bid for taylor on friday and our board are still mulling it over and they also say there is two other unamed english clubs who have bidded. 200k would be good but can't help but thinking if theres alot of interest surely we could get more fair enough hes only got one year left on his deal but goalscorers don't come around very often. Four players on 500p/w(our supposed wage cap) is 100k surely after all the money weve had come in over the last year the board will let holt bring in four players. We released 6 players(weatherston,flannigan,smith,fulton,dods,???? and got compensation for one(murdoch) surely to f**k were not only getting one player in.

Connor greene was outstanding winning headers against white and not afraid to put the boot in. Not seen much of mcgeever and before today I would have said he should be starting games but he was murder today. I agree with the fact biabi would me a good impact sub but we need another one or two(depending on the taylor situation) strikers. Does shepperd naturally play upfront because he didn't look like a striker today. After todays game id like to see our starting line up as:
Mcgovern
Duffie vaulks greene kingsley
Durojaiye
Alston Jay Grant
Taylor *new striker*
Mcgrandles
Sibbs
Botti
Faulds
Bowman

My bad stirlings made a c**t of it the trialist is durojaiye.

Trialist playing at the back in the first 11 today I presume hes a centre back as hes number 4
0 -
Usually I go to friendlies as its good to see new players/trialists but im struggling to get excited for todays game as theres only one new face and he will only play for 45 mins.
0 -
I seriously hope that holt has replacements lined up for lyle taylor as imo hes a certainty to go hes big, powerful, rapid, is good with the ball at his feet and can finish.
0 -
The new number 2 is away on a scouting mission today apparently.
Pleasing.
Taylor is worth 350k minimum.
First priority must be a striker we can't go another season with one upfront surely and with taylor looking the most likely to go I don't want us to be trying to get last minute signings in like higgins.

Of course there was some sarcasm in my post hence the reference to bobby olejnik. But selling your best player for 50k is ridiculous morton must reak of desperation we sold higginbotham in january for a reported 150k and he only had 6 months left on his contract.

Taylor now linked to peterborough
Theyre close to selling theyre young striker to crystal palace so they shouldnt be short on money, baring in mind they paid 300k for bobby olejnik we will have at least 500k for taylor. Have to say im very disapointed that weve not got anyone on trial and only one (new)player has been signed. The way I see it if theyre good enough they aren't going to be on the market for very long especially if they are free.

Would be the experience were crying out for in the middle of the park.

As far as im concerned we should be going for it this season, now i'm not saying break the bank(the scum) but imo holt should be given the exact same budget as last season if not slightly increased as we have got 7 players off our wage if smith and murdo leave and mcgovern stays and we will get compensation for murdo. So holt should be able to bring in 6. If we do sell one of our players this season assuming its not taylor would it not be worth offering taylor an improved deal for another year on his contract(if you don't ask you don't get)
