Kooz92 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 And there is the CH that we've been needing to add to the squad. Another good bit of business from the village idiots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Happy with that. Struggling to see any better available options we could have gotten. He's a goal threat at set pieces as well which is something we haven't had much of recently. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Excellent stuff. Absolutely shuts down any chatter about not fixing the defence. An ex league winner, someone who has been a recognised aerial threat at corners in the past. He'll know a fair few faces from before and offers experience at centre half while also providing cover at full back if needed, which should alleviate some of the pressure on Ross Millen. As far as I'm concerned, any extra business we do from here will be a bonus. We've not even dipped into the loan market yet. Good luck to everyone who is off deleting tweets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Nothing wrong with that at all. 2 centre backs who have won this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we might get a Full Back in on loan/permanent whether that is Paterson or not then maybe a CM and then I think we will be pretty much done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 If we can only get the injuries under control now, and get Brown n Mathews back toot sweet, the league could be very very interesting from our perspective this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As chief whinger on that front, it certainly does alleviate a lot of it. Not going to get carried away as he has faults like any other championship level defender. Like you say though he's been a goal threat at this level as well, which alongside Watson is a bonus and those two are almost certainly an upgrade on Lang and Nolan. Would still like as a priority seem decent left back cover - likely a loan, but someone with a bit more pace and willingness to hit the byeline to give us something different, but principally to allow Dick to move inside to cover CB alongside Corr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Whilst not a signing I'd say I was necessarily delighted by in isolation, I think given the current conditions and players that would be avaliable to a club like ourselves, that this is realistically as good as signing as we were going to make. We've now got two CBs with very good experience and I would certainly rate those two as a better partnership than Lang/Nolan. Pleased to see us get in another CB for the season ahead. That Murray can cover LB if required is also a bonus. Edited July 18, 2023 by Michael W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, have known that the rule in cups in the past has been the need to be registered 14 days prior to the game? I could be wrong those more in the know can correct me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Murray being pretty capable of playing anywhere along the back line is definitely a bonus to this signing. I'm sure yogi played him at cdm for the pars so probably not up to much in that position though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Solid signing that. Happy with that! Good blend of experience and youth and we have Liam Dick who can cover there also. Manager said we were after 2 or 3 so interesting to see what other positions we target. Tbh id be happy with another full back, probably another left who likes to get up and down and I’d be really happy with the squads that’s been assembled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Crawford might have played him there a couple of times in his first season with us, from memory. But he mainly played as CB for us. edit to add - agree on his versatility. It’s a big thing to have. Covered at LB for us without any issue. Think he’ll try and offer Dabrowski an option too, he was always comfortable to take the ball from the keeper and play it out from the back.

Yeah totally agree with you, I was a whinger on this as well and happy to have Muzza back , corr will learn of him and Watson and allows us to loan out Masson for a bit to get him playing games every week and dick can slot in there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
