graeme_p Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If we go fully part time as rumoured. What do we do with the youth set up? What a joke it would be to bring people through and at 17 or 18 offer them a part time contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Ideally I would keep McGurn, Laidlaw, Donaldson, Mensing, Ellis, Thomson, Spence, Graham, Clarke and Cardle. I can't see Mensing, Graham or Cardle signing up so that leaves only 7 players seeing in next season with us. The rest either don't perform often enough, or just don't perform full stop.

Wardy Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if we saw the majority of the squad leave. To be honest the Squad needs a freshen up. If that means a complete overhaul then so be it. I wouldn't be too fussed either way... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Would like to see McGurn, Mensing, Cardle, Spence and Graham stay. But realistically we'll probably keep McG and Spence. The rest can leave. If Bert leaves, i'd go for Ian Murray. I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday, and because i'm older than most of you, i'm not a modern liberal. I just like to see us win, more than we have been lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Cardle will leave regardless, but we need to resist the temptation to centre the team around him. That's what that lop sided 4-4-2 was all about against Thistle and Hamilton and it was unsurprising that we improved massively when we bothered to play another wide midfielder on the other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) Even G. Anderson is a doubt for me. He can be great going past opposition players for fun, but then he seems to lose the plot and can't decide whether to shoot of cross (or at least that's how it looks sometimes) and makes an arse of the final ball. His final ball can be poor, and his confidence seems to have went at Stark's Park particularly in the latter half of the season, but ask yourself where we'd be without him. He's a must-keep for me regardless of his inconsistency. Would've thought delivery should be something that can be coached into him....

Wardy Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'd like to think I've got a better cross on me than Grant Anderson..he's been the enigma or us this season. Can be brilliant, can be utter dross. Inconsistency is why he's playing with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like to see us win, more than we have been lately. If your as old as me, you would remember Dumbarton as a Premier League team. As for who we keep, it will be down to whether we are f/t or p/t with regard to p/t, the issue is geography, we lost west cost based players to Dumbarton because of this. So might be time to look closer to home for players and help reduce our expenditure on travelling expenses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 With the cut backs which are again sure to loom we need to look at giving guys like Donaldson, Callachan and Laidlaw more gametime. Its the first time in a while we actually have a few decent players brought through the youth system, Callachan in particular looked very good in pre season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sorry if this has already been brought up but fair amount of rumours flying around our way that Lister has signed up for you guys next year. Anyone heard anything through your way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard something back in February that we were losing Graham to Thistle and that we'd offered Lister a contract: no idea if he'd accepted or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sorry if this has already been brought up but fair amount of rumours flying around our way that Lister has signed up for you guys next year. Anyone heard anything through your way? Its been doing the rounds a wee bit. Probably a straight swap for Brian Graham, who I'd imagine will be off. So long as we keep Spence I'd be happy. Outwith that there are a few who show some skill at times, but by and large I'd not miss too many of them. In particular, I'm thinking of center backs, where far too often over the last two seasons we've looked nervy in possession while thumping the ball up the pitch aimlessly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was very good against Thistle, and ok-ish against Hamilton, but then everyone around him was playing shite, so can't be too harsh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is some substance to it then. Really disappointing for us but I'm sure you'll be able to offer him more than us and he works in Rosyth so it's easier all round for him. Lister won't get you anywhere near the amount of goals as Graham, few strikers at this level do, but I think Spence could be a good partner for him. Can't grudge him his move if it comes through, if he doesn't win our POTY it'll be a travesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
