renton Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 That's Spencer signed back up. 1 year deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Spencer stays. Happy enough with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Particularly pleased with that from a continuity standpoint. Without Spencer, we might've just been losing too many bodies out of last year's side, and you're relying on a lot of new guys getting up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Pleased with that. Think he’s a bit under-rated by the support and it means we only really need to have the Hendry replacement coming into the team in the middle of the park. What are we, a CM, winger and striker x 2 away? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Happy to keep Spencer. Probably wouldn't be in my first XI but don't think we'd get a better squad player in his position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I'm not really aware of anyone else that was in for him. Good to see him stay though he's been decent for us. I think this is a big season for Tait to cement his place in the middle and push on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Spencer, Matthews and tait as a midfield 3 doesn't sound too bad for next season. We will need to replace hendry if he doesn't re-sign but those 3 are perfectly capable at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I still live in deluded hope that Regan will decide hes better off being here with McGlynn for another year,big shoes to fill otherwise, also good of Spencer to re-sign and not keep us all waiting As far as other positions to be filled if we cant get Ethan Ross to commit maybe another season long loan of Kennedy is on the burner, along with The Hammer coming back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) I reckon Rangers will want to have a good look at Kennedy, but can certainly see him coming back on loan at some point - he was very complimentary about his time here. Happy to have Spencer back. Interesting to see how Mcglynn goes about replacing Hendry now. It was easier to replace Nisbet, as we were able to have the whole team contribute with goals, but it will be much much harder to replace the player who made the whole thing tick.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Kennedy comes back next season, he’s a good player but not likely to get a chance at Rangers yet. If he and Gerrard were happy with last season a further loan to ourselves or ICT isn’t unlikely. We got Ryan Hardie twice from them and obviously Hibs have sent us Gullan 3 times so we must be doing something these teams like. Any idea if Gullan is staying with Hibs next season, not seen anything if he’s ever released I hope we’re front of the queue with an offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 10 hours ago, renton said: We still need at least 1 other centre forward. Think about it even just tactically. If you want to play a 4-2-3-1, and imagine our midfield gaps have been filled. You can do a front 4 based on pushing Keatings up into the 9 position with Connolly, Vaughan and Zannata behind. If we did sign someone like Ross then charitably we could make a sub for either of the wide players or the centre forward.... but not more than one. In a 4-1-2-1-2 you have more options with only signing one more "forward" as it'd leave you two subs for probably 3 positions, but that leaves you potentially talking about a front two of Zanatta and "Ross" which isn't exactly a recognised pairing. Then consider injuries. We all know Vaughan's injury record, Keatings season has been stop-start and Connolly managed 217 minutes. So, we need options in case of break down there. And finally it's not just about bodies. I'd have no issue with signing Ross bit neither him, or anyone else in that squad looks fit to play as a recognised number 9. We've got a couple of guys who are technically very good and play mostly as number 10s (though Keatings could be pushed up) and some guys who mostly play in those wide/wing positions. We need at least one player who can give us a hold up option and can play back to goal and make space for deeper runners. So aye, I think we need two centre mids (hopefully re-signings, but need to go with what we can get there) a third wide midfield option and two centre forwards. Do we? I see us playing more 352 that some other choice. 5 genuine potential starting CB’s says we’ll be playing 3 across the back. Add to the difficulty we had with one up top, and I’m betting we go to a forward duo. With Spencer, Matthews and Tait in the middle, that leaves two spots for all those forwards and wingers we have signed (and perhaps the ocassional use as attacking subs for Tumilty and Dick if we are losing a tight game). We now sign Hendry plus another mid, or two mids, and stop is my thought. Then JMcG Will shop the loan market for some tasty morsels. As noted, Ethan Ross would be the only forward/winger the club would reach out to sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As noted, Ethan Ross would be the only forward/winger the club would reach out to sign. I'm not convinced that 5 guys who can play Cb means McGlynn is veering towards a 3-5-2. Especially given Berra is 36, Benedictus picks up Yellows like he's trying to finish a monochrome panini sticker album and McKay is coming back from a season out from injury. Add to that those 5 guys also include all our full back cover and a of a sudden regularly playing three at the back looks like a stretch. ... and you know, I'm not convinced he particularly likes playing 3 at the back unless he finds himself trying to make things more compact. And beyond that, we still don't have an option for a striker who can play as a hold up type striker. Connolly and Zannata suggest he still wants to regularly employ width beyond the full backs even if it is one guy playing the tip of a diamond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
