Will 36 draws be enough to keep us up? I expect Tx will be along soon with all the stats... Last I checked, 39-40 points generally gets 8th…so, probably not. P.S. Posting may be erratic for a bit, but I’ll try to take all the bait! Edited July 22, 2022 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he didn't he wouldn't have been talking about signing 2/3 players. It's likely a shortage of of what he's looking for, than lack of budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) I’m not concerned over whether the signings will come in, Murray is quite clear the reinforcements are coming in. It would be preferable if they were here for Sunday, I think he will get a resounding defeat without them, but the most important thing is they are here for the Cove game. My concern is over the quality. The next 3 signings (assuming they are defenders and strikers) will shape our season. If we get them right, the rest of the squad is in place to challenge for 4th and we can all relax a bit. If they are duds, the worry we have seen in here will build and the conversation will move from the lack of numbers to the lack of quality. We will find out soon if Murray’s patience in waiting for the right players and his gamble in moving on Musonda and Bene has paid off and I am actually more nervous about seeing who the signings are rather whether we will see any signings. Reading between the lines, it seems like at least one if not more of the signings will be from down south which is fine, we may get lucky with some real quality but it is also more of a gamble. I’d hope at least one of the key signings would be a known quantity but obviously the issue is what players of quality in Scotland are available within our budget and in the positions we need? I’m confident we can pick up a decent centre back or two but everyone in the country seems to be looking for a striker. Some laugh when the only signing announced today is Andrew McNeill as 3rd choice keeper… Edited July 22, 2022 by R.R.FC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest no, they will be talented no doubt but are they really ready mentally? Let’s hope there is at least one new body today modelling our “ subtle” new away kit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie_Munrover Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) They have missed a trick here…. If the away kit was simply the exact same as the new home kit but all white with navy pinstripe then they woulda sold a hell of a lot more Edited July 22, 2022 by Geordie_Munrover 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryBumpkin Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Can't wait for the twitter clowns to claim that its a "feminist" shirt etc. Quite like it to be fair, the detail in the material with the club badge is nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed a trick not making this kit white with blue pinstripes as that could have been a classic imo, pretty sure it will sell well with the youngsters thou 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaithRyan Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Actually think the top looks quite good. Nice effect with the badge on the material. Shorts and socks combo just make it look a little plain though for me. Maybe a pinstripe of pink on the shorts or a wee navy hoop on the socks. probably will still get the top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Ultimately though, the kit itself matters less than the players we currently don't have to fill it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 It doesn't resemble a carrier bag from a Chinese takeaway, so that's a start. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That kit is really not nice in my opinion On transfers we are currently still after 2 strikers and a creative player but I hear they are like hens teeth and there isn’t many options this year. Talk of Innes Cameron maybe coming to Gayf which kind of shows you the level of guys available for loan this season. You look through first team squads of premiership clubs and there’s a real lack of guys that would be any use in this league or guys that clubs would actually want to put out on loan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
