TxRover Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 1 hour ago, Been going too long said: Do you think if we run with those 4 players at CB that it’s good enough to finish in the playoffs? I don’t tbh No, because Im concerned about LB and CB depth. I think Watson or Dick plus Corr or Masson could get us to the playoffs, but with the likelihood of missed time due to injury, I'd like another CB in at a minimum...but I'm OK waiting to see who is not going to get playing time above us and is willing to go on loan to showcase their abilities and/or get more time. If its young kids available on loan, I'd run with those four and strengthen LB while keeping the ears open for a disaffected aging CB. Ideally, if Corr is the preferred starter, I'd love to have the bodies to loan Masson out until December to get him playing time so we know what we've potentially got...especially with Corr on a one year deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Gave up on friendlies years ago as they can be a glorified kick about. As others have said, we’ve had great pre-seasons then been garbage when the season kicks off and vice versa. We’ll only know from when things get going properly, but seen enough decent moves and goals in the highlights to be encouraged going forward. Sounds like the defence needs strengthened but hopefully we can do that and be much more competitive than last year. I’m choosing to believe that under the new owners we’re entering an early 90s like golden era again, at least until Saturday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 For me, the League Cup group stage comprises of glorified friendly matches. The early/mid 90s are here until at least the first league fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, progression from the group can carry significant financial gains that can impact bringing extra players in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and it basically makes next Saturday a must-win, for both sides. The winner of that game has a good chance at progression, but the loser has almost no chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if your first game is a loss to a bottom 6 top tier team or one from the non league, the set up of the competition makes it very tricky to qualify after it. We've only made the second round once, and from that we knocked out Aberdeen at home then played Celtic away. It's almost feels like nobody is ready for the start of it, yet there's loads to play for with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I don't think the pre-season matches have given us much reason to either get carried away with optimism or to be overly concerned with how we'll get on. Based on yesterday, I think that when Hamilton is fully fit Gullan will play on the left. He was a clear upgrade on Smith when he came on. Although we don't exactly need wide players, I would be tempted to keep tabs on the progress of the East Fife no 11 this season. He's got a bit of attitude but looked like he had some ability to back it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted July 9, 2023 Author Share Posted July 9, 2023 This sounds like the new defensive addition will be Brody Paterson, doesn’t it? Not sure how I feel about the use of “Vonny” throughout the article either. Vaughany, surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be Patterson but on the other hand it could be the other 2 names mentioned previously Considine or Euan Murray as both still with clubs and maybe waiting for their releases just have to wait and see I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I agree I don't see what the issues would be signing Patterson, he's basically a free agent although under contract. Our need to sign a CH is more important. Euan Murray and Considine fits the bill for me, both left sided CHs, both under contract. Still not overly keen on Considine due to his age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paterson might be holding out for a pay-off from Hartlepool to be released from his contract, otherwise he could stay there and pick up a wage until this time next year for doing nothing. His agent will tell him to sit tight and wait for them to make the next move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are basicly free agents. Issue is players will want something for leaving a contract early, Hartlepool will most likley be higher payers than we are. Both aren't left sided centre halfs only Considine would bbe considered a natural left sided centre half. the Rat is right footed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
