Scary Bear Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Good at using the ball and linking up play, a wee bit one paced though.Is that a euphemism for slow?Is he the wee ginger guy? He's an okay player. Damned with faint praise. Edited June 2, 2015 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.C Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Guess it depends how we are lining up formation wise next season or if we are going to favour him in the middle with Callachan... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADMO Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Think I would be happy enough with McCord, I do prefer Cawley but we could be getting worse than McCord that's for sure ... Seems McKinnon's first priority is to bulk up that midfield, that means we now have Callachan, Petrie & McCord on contract with hopefully Ando still to re-sign to ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 McCord is a good player. I've thought he would fit in here for a few seasons so I'm pleased enough. He is a bit slow though, and always seems to just make the pass in time; a bawhair from losing possession. Depends on the role McKinnon has in mind for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Interestingly McKinnon hinted that he would be using him as a midfielder if we got him. Well, if we get McCord signed up, then we'll have a bunch of them. McCord is only 26 as well, think Anderson is a wee bit older, but still looking like a reduction in the average age of our midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC_Lachlan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Didn't think Kevin Cuthbert would be sticking around 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Surprised at Cuthbert. Surprised how rotten he was when he came back and surprised he's staying. Slightly disappointed to lose big Dougie. His tour de force performance in the Ramsden's final will never be forgotten. What a soldier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 So that's basically an entire new midfield we need, plus half a new forward line. If we can get Watson to sign on, we'll still need more cover for centre back. Guessing Hill wasn't so much 'released' as turned down any offer we made him, he's more than good enough for this level and would surely be a great signing for either Dumbarton or Alloa, would certainly do a job for the Pars. Wee bit sad to seem him go. As for Moon and Elliot, obviously both are good players at this level, but you couldn't retain Elliot just on the fact that his injury record is horrendous for last season. Still think Moon would have been useful for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Didn't think Kevin Cuthbert would be sticking around My guess is Murray gave him a two year deal, but that particular detail was never widely known. Same as Mckeown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or McKinnon's told Cuthbert that he'll be number 1 next season.. Imagine the atmosphere in the south stand if Cuthbert is announced in the starting XI on the first game of the season.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere in the south stand might be bad, but by Christ I can't imagine it being too rosy in the Murray household if McKinnon pulled that stunt..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Shame to lose Hill, always gave 100% and certainly liked by the support, we all knew Conroy was gone. The rest not really that bothered to see them leave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the atmosphere in the south stand if Cuthbert is announced in the starting XI on the first game of the season.. God ... It'll be instant "McKinnon OUT" hahaha ! Surely the fact we handed McGurn such a long deal would mean he is #1 next season ... Or is it a giant swerve by the club in attempt to lure us to Starks !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Moon would have been useful for us. I was actually going to ask if you felt he could do a job for us, I imagine we'll have Andy Graham and Gregor Buchanan as our centre halves but having Hill there would be decent if he's still up to the task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely still is. Good positioning, great in the air, pretty mobile for a centre half as well. Held back by injuries in pre-season last year and was latterly edged out of the team by Barr, who was good but you suspect got in front of Hill because Hill, as a part timer very rarely trained with the team. No coincidence that our uptick in form from Christmas was partly due to Hill replacing that utter non-footballer Ross Perry in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
