Ro Sham Bo Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 McAusland had a very successful loan spell at Brechin last season where he was used as a central midfielder and chipped in with a few goals. Ayr used him as a right back and it would seem that the Pars also deployed him in defence which baffles me. Would have definitely taken him back at the Glebe. Is he good enough for the Championship? Probably. Seems as though he may end up at St Johnstone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Barr looked shaky as hell the last few games of the season. In any case we could have kept Hill and Barr and punted Watson. We also looked really solid when Barr first came into the team - I'd focus on that rather than a period whereby the manager was on way out and players heads are on the beach. If I'm honest though, I'm slightly worried we could have the same defence again next season but happy to see how RMcK has us sorted, along with an improved midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_p Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Surely we either need to punt Laidlaw or at least tie him up on a loan deal that costs us nothing. He will be 23 by the time the season starts. Other than being tall he has very little going for him keeper. Too nervy, not commanding, poor handling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see us keep trying to develop him to be McGurns replacement. Gutted about Hill. Don't see the point in Cuthburt. Happy enough with the rest of the decisions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 McAusland had a very successful loan spell at Brechin last season where he was used as a central midfielder and chipped in with a few goals. Ayr used him as a right back and it would seem that the Pars also deployed him in defence which baffles me. Would have definitely taken him back at the Glebe. Is he good enough for the Championship? Probably. We plated him predominantly in centre midfield, he did fill in at centre back for a few weeks though. I'm neither here nor there with McCausland, I stopped watching us the last few weeks so I've probably missed some awful performances but he was alright in the first few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Barr represents a better option than Hill sadly. Brings more to the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted about Hill. Don't see the point in Cuthburt. Happy enough with the rest of the decisions. Agreed. The thing about Hill is being p/t he is (if nothing else) a great replacement and cheap leaving money that can be spent elsewhere. I was really surprised to see him go. Good luck Dougie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Agree, whilst Hill is away that back 4 still needs serious work, I hope our inability to defend set plays is worked on. Defending set pieces was an area I thought we deteriorated in when Barr came in for Hill. Whether that was just unfamiliarity or not I don't know, but we did appear to become more vulnerable. Either way, it's something we need to work on as you say. We've never quite gotten over Mark Campbell where set pieces are concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sandy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Read it may be MARC McAusland that St Johnstone are after. That would seem to be more likely than KYLE McAusland? Edited June 3, 2015 by Wee Sandy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover the Moon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Good luck to the players released. Sad to see one or two go but new era and all that. Hopefully we get a few more decent young players in who provide some energy, drive and ambition to improve themselves and move on to better things. That should be the direction we look to go in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's a shame for Elliot. You can tell he is a good player but injuries have affected him. That first spell between August and December 2013, he was the business. Since then he's just become a tragic figure. Hopefully he does well at his next club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantene proV Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Delighted if we get Ryan McCord, exactly the midfielder we need. Experienced, quickness of thought, can pick a pass and If we surround him with the right folk then lack of pace means little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
