LogieLivi Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 What a January it’s been for the Club, when you look at the squad now we have real strength and depth all over the pitch, I’m struggling to pick a best 11. Well done to all at the club for bringing these guys in. I’m also told that with all the comings and goings we’ve actually cut 1k a month off the wage bill, which considering the players we’ve brought in is quite an effort. All additions we have made so far have added quality.I'm still hoping we can get a decent keeper in to challenge Neil for number 1 for the remainder of the season with the view to him taking over next season if Neil hangs up his gloves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if we can just top it off with getting 200K for Knox and getting Byrne, Pittman and Halkett signed up for another 2 years each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract is up at the end of the season so unless we offer him an extension/new deal he's a free agent. I can't see us being interested in either so he has a chance to a. help you and b. showcase himself for a gig with you or elsewhere. He seems a decent and 'honest' young man so I wish him well and hope he has a good few months with you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 And for Hopkin's next trick Gallagher's full potential will finally be realised in a Pirlo-Busqets type holding midfield role going on to assist 30 goals in the second half of the season and crunching every opposition forward (baseball bat pending) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he works out as good as Craig Halkett. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnxNTC Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hardie is a great signings for yous. Loved him whilst he was at raith both half-seasons, will score u goals and loves to round the keeper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 In all seriousness, that’s a very good signing, and one which absolutely transforms our prospects of scoring goals in the second half of the season. Not expecting an instant return but we’re certainly well-equipped now. Good stuff from Hopkin and the bean counters. In all seriousness, what is the health of finances at your club? Given your average attendances it seems strange that you are able to bring in a few players of reasonable quality even if others don’t agree... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We released some players too and even sold one for a wad of dosh. Apparently our wage bill has been reduced and we've strengthened the squad whilst doing so. Finances could always be better with the crowds being so low but the guy in charge is doing a decent job of keeping it in check and working to a budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can tell from the statements that miller is taking a pay cut and Hardie is getting subsidised by sevco. They probably just want to give him a final chance to shine before freeing him in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS Miller was done 18 month ago More than happy if he chips in with 3 or 4 goals until the end of the season. Absolutely chuffed a player of his standing will likely end up a coach for us which is what he wanted at Falkirk. He has a lot to pass on and will do well working with Hartson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought I would see the day when I would say that Livvy sounds like it’s being well run...Miller is a bit of a legend for us but in all honesty he has looked past it this season. He may get you a few goals and hold up the ball for others to run onto.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Will be interesting to see how our next line up looks. Byrne and Longridge are suspended for the league so will be nice to see some rotation and possibly Thompson in the middle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylivi1 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Think with our attacking options now Robinson could drop back into the middle of the park. We have so many options now, think the obvious choice would be Cadden to replace Longridge, Jacobs into the middle to replace Byrne and Mullin in to rwb, that will keep Gallagher in a defensive midfield role and keep Buchanan at the back. I’d say Hardie is now our number 1 attacking option so who do we play alongside him ? I’d go Robinson or Boyd but we also have Mackin, Miller and Todorov to choose from too. Lets not forget De Vita too who’s been one of our best performers this season. These signings really give Hoppy a bit of a selection headache, but a good one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
