The Courier clarifies it as a PCA he's signed until the end of the month for the very reason he's mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Good luck Gregory. Anyway, on to next season. Im not as pessimistic as I usually am! Hopefully the starting 11 will look like this. GK Mcgurn RB - New Signing CB - Murray CB - Ellis LB - Dyer RM - Walker CM - Davidson CM - Hamill LM - McBride CF - Baird CF - Graham Sub 1 - Williamson Sub 2 - Hill Sub 3 - SPL Loanee Sub 4 - SPL Loanee Sub GK - Laidlaw (I think??) Starting 11 is no worse than last season tbh. Just a matter of dealing with injuries etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting 11 is no worse than last season tbh. Just a matter of dealing with injuries etc. It is Laidlaw aye. It's not a bad line up at all to be honest provided the RB is a decent player. There have to be quesions about whether McBride can start every game and perform well enough to push us forward. I'm a fan but I'm not sure that consistency is his strong point. That said, playing week in / week out might do the trick for him. Whether the SPL loanees are any use, we'll have to discover but I do hope at least one of them has some pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 IF we sign a new RB. I suspect we will, but remain woefully short up front and McGlynn might choose to address that first. It's sobering looking at the squad from last year and this year: Last year: GK - McGurn, McNeil DEF - Campbell, Murray, Ellis, Hill, Dyer, Wedderburn, Wilson MID - Walker, Davidson, Simmons, Ferry, S.McBride, K. McBride, Williamson FWD - Baird, Tade, Weir, Wales Total: 20 You could argue it's unfair that I've included K. McBride, but I'm taking it as the team that finished the season and he started every game he was here. 5 of those that left were considered starters. This year: GK - McGurn, Laidlaw DEF - Murray, Hill, Dyer, Ellis MID - Walker, McBride, Williamson, Davidson, Hamill FWD - Baird, Graham Total: 13 (-7) We've another player to come in which will bring us to 14, and then we're looking for a couple of loanees. Personally, I would sign a RB, and get a striker and a midfielder in on loan. I don't think that will be adequate, but sadly it's all we can do, really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Blower Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hopefully thats the end of the Tade love in. As for the relative squad sizes for the last 2 seasons, someone seriously got their sums wrong last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to include McBride, then you should probably discount Wedderburn certainly, Wales and arguably Weir given the lack of playing time and impact those guys had, the fact is that we pretty much played last season with 17-18 players. Not 20, and with a couple of loanees we'll probsbly come in around 16 guys this time. Edited June 7, 2011 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 With a rent of £480 a month, I doubt keeping money aside would have been a sensible decision. Where are you staying, I lived in Edinburgh (probably most expensive renting market in Scotland) for seven years and never payed more than 290 a month for any flat lived in! Must be a hell of a flat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 £290 p/m in Edinburgh? You'll struggle to get a place in Kirkcaldy for that! Have you been living in a shed in Pilton or something, renton? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzle Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Surely he is sharing though so a two bed would be £200? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 http://www.thecourier.co.uk/Sport/Football/article/14678/battling-fife-rivals-were-playing-for-jobs-says-former-raith-rover-stephen-simmons.html A somewhat interesting interview with Stephen Simmons. Claims the players were told in January there would be massive cuts if we didn't win the league. Not an ideal thing to be telling the players. Someone really, really, really fucked up with the budget last season. What kind of crowds were we aiming for?! We were up 500 on average. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
