He stays in Kilmarnock I’m sure, think he will look for a club through that way tbh,wouldn’t be against him returning just don’t think he will 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 24 minutes ago, Been going too long said: Time will tell bud, I just think it was stupid to let 2 cb’s walk out the club without something better lined up first. It may well be that he does have something but at the moment we don’t know and seems a very risky strategy considering we weren’t relegated. Looking forward to the game on Saturday and next week to look at the team in flesh Three CB’s… The problems were: McKay - Competent CB, and fill in RB (with limited ability going forward), who needed to start playing every week if he is going to develop. Was not going to start at CB before Berra, Lang, or perhaps Dick, so was allowed to depart. Bene - Aging Captain who never seemed the same after that nasty break. Looked alternately capable and vulnerable, and was never entirely settled paired with Berra. Clearly inferior to Lang and Berra, probably inferior to Musonda at CB and not usable at LB. Musonda - Still a bit of an unknown. Had a magnificent start to his Rovers time, but never got regular or consistent playing time upon his return. JMcG had indicated he wanted to convert him to sweeper/DM, but the shortened season and then injuries sank that plan. Almost certainly the best of the three we let go, perhaps tied to total costs due to housing, perhaps we wouldn’t match Ayr’s 2 year deal, perhaps Murray doesn’t rate him. Flexible player who could fill any role (a la Dick? I couldn’t resist). As for the Dunbar game, I hope we see Young at LB and Masson at CB, along with some trialist CB’s. Seeing Masson playing with Berra for a little while would be quite useful for the Staff, as Berra would be coaching the lad right there and seeing how he reacts…otherwise, I’d rather not see Berra or Dick play much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we aren’t going to have Lang until October at the earliest, may break down again Berra had a bad injury last season who knows how he will be given his age. Right now at this minute we are bare in defence unless we play a centre mid there( brown) left back there ( your best pal ) or an untried kid in Masson who played at Thornton last season. Not great yeah we will get by on Saturday but be interesting to see how we do v Queens next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I'd take Murray back but I don't think he'd be interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Defence was shite most of last season so not averse to changes. Will judge once the squad is complete. Our two best defenders by a country mile last season were Berra and Lang. I'm not disappointed at any others leaving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Some amount of knicker wetting in here, coupled to some blinding insight. I hope Ian Murray reads it and sees we need defenders and a striker. Lack of anyone signing does not mean nothing is happening. Can we just let the professional football manager do his job and wait patiently to see what he comes up with? As for Musonda......Mehsonda. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 There is a Q&A with Murray on Sunday at the Open Day. Granted it's a day for the kids but a chance for the P&B maws n paws to give the bairns a list of questions to ask the gaffer and report back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, each is now starting for another team. As for bare, Connolly at RB or Ross at LB would indicate we’re down to the nubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
