grumswall Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I think our early season form has probably raised a few in our supports expectations for this season. Our objective this season is to establish ourselves back in the championship and as long as we do that then we can have few complaints. In saying that we do have a squad that is capable of being in and around the promotion playoffs although we lack depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I was wondering what Ryan Hardie was up to these days. Turns out he signed for Blackpool and is currently on loan to Plymouth. Has anyone got a lottery ticket on? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55393770 Oh and Happy New Year to everyone on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15 points so far has done much to help solidify our chances of survival, in the same way it has, as noted, raised expectations. It’s strange to have to say we lack depth, but it’s correct in a few particulars...although we also lack some diversity. Looking at our roster, we are heavily overweight at CF and woefully light n the wings. Keeper is likely our best position, with midfield being a close second. However, the worst problem we have is too few defenders, in my mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One very good, one I've never had confidence in and one who can never recapture the sheer majesty of his reign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One very good, one I've never had confidence in and one who can never recapture the sheer majesty of his reign. Or to put it another way one very, very good keeper, one who's a good 2nd choice back up and one we can call on instead of relying on an outfield play in an emergency. My take on things is that yes we are light on the wing but I feel we are lighter still defensivley especially in the fullback position, We manage fine for additional width when the full backs can bomb forward but that cant happen without the back-door being 100% secure. Get the first choice of Mus and Bene in the middle for security giving Macca and Tumilty the confidence to get forward. At the end of the day certain games may require sacrifices, 2 wingers on Tuesday was a luxury when they were being starved of supply, another gritty central midfielder instead of a winger may have made a difference, especially if Macca had been an option to also bomb forward providing optional width. No cash to bring in an extra body, pity I'd like to see another left back who can play centre half or left wing.......a Kieran McDonald clone would actually be ideal! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A starter on almost any team in the League, a player who helped us win the League last year, a young lad and an old, emergency, choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Lokotsch will go back to Livingston when his deal ends on the 17th. Would like to think that will free up a wage to let us get someone else in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to think that will free up a wage to let us get someone else in. Then again he might not. The way Livi are progressing I doubt he'll be getting any game time whereas he gets some with us. Livi may be more than happy to leave him where he is for this curtailed season. I'd like to hope Aberdeen think similarly regarding the length of season aspect over Ethan Ross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ross is already set to stay here until May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
