Raithie Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Spoke to Smith tonight. Squad is complete with McHattie due to sign. No money for any new players including loans. What we've got is it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew I'd seen it before, but was getting confused with a strip under McGlynn in the Second Division. We lost the play-off to Hibs in it, combined with black and green shorts. Fetching. The white Nordan sponsored one? First ever puma shirts we had - ten years ago! Mind we had a fairly smart white away top in 10/11, with the blue/red stripes underarm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I support the team in many ways but I've never thought an out of shape grown man wearing a replica top was ever a good look. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant believe we're signing no one else not even loanees, we have 1 winger ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly can't be our plan B as we don't have anyone to do a like for like change if and when Bobby Barr is out of form or torn to pieces by an angry mob of 50/50 ticket sellers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 15 outfield players if McHattie signs.How many players were in the squad when we last won the Seaside league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it a while back I've got a horrible feeling we're going to see Callachan or Matthew punted out wide right and now I think I'm unfortunately correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we started, or when we finished? We brought in Wales in September, I think, and we got rid of Gurrero some point in January I think. Then we also ended up adding Simmons and Williamson. We also lost Wales around March/April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Don't get the wanking over the home top. Very 'meh', even a bit boring. Why is the stripe sky blue and not white? Sponsor also looks shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't a total disaster... until you recall the backup central mid will be Davidson. I'm sort of swinging like a pendulum here, on the one hand we've got a couple of decent forwards and Vaughan will add much needed creativity. Further back I'd back Matthews to have a very good season for us alongside Cal and or Robertson. On a good day you've got a couple of attacking subs you can make. f**k me though, that's a paper thin squad once we start piling up the injuries and suspensions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Why the f**k did we keep Davo? Keeping him and potentially McHattie is a big mistake in my book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 It's not just paper thin, it's also made up of a lot of young and untried players: Berry; Thorsen; Osei; McKay; Court. Could be good, could mean a tricky season ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Just now, Scary Bear said: Were we around the 15-16 mark for outfield players? Yeah, and we probably had much the same style of team, we never really had proper wingers then, either. It was Ferry on one side, Walker on the other, usually in a 4-4-2. Then of course we went 3 up top with Weir acting as both wingers at once. At one point, in one game at Gayfield we even tried Craig Wilson at right wing. Somehow I'm not nearly as confident now. Once we had Kev Smith in, I was confident we'd be in contention, there was a solidity right up and down that team. We ground teams down in a damned ugly and direct fashion. Now we look like our left hand side is as well being a pair of saloon doors, and I really struggle with our principle defensive and midfield backup being Davo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy first season with us, albeit playing alongside human speed bump Ross Perry. Still struggled a bit with individual mistakes and heavy touches. 2nd season he was a different class, solid defensively, and that long throw in proved quite lethal. Really good player in my opinion, but I spent last season and probably this season watching McHattie so in those reduced circumstances I'd probably give pass marks to a one footed ostrich at left back. Did I see you were after Connolly as well? Loved watching him and Craigen in that 4th place finish team. Memories.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
