Hank Scorpio Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 I’d like to think that Smith also thinks we need a RB tbh. We offered terms to Jason Thomson, he turned them down and we then just decided that we didn’t need another RB after all. He must’ve thought at that point that Watson wouldn’t be enough. I don’t think Watson has done badly, far from it, but we absolutely need some form of cover there for when his form turns/he gets injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 By that reasoning, Matthews, Nesbit, Vaughan and Milne can all play on the right. The thought of Davidson filling in at right back is the definition of fear. Disagree entirely. When filling in for the injured Thomson he was better than the fit Thomson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the people that want Smith sacked, how can his sacking be justified considering how little he has in terms of resources? He and the BoD agreed to go full time and a budget was agreed, if he wasn't happy with the depth of squad that would give him he should have spoken up at the time. Also the last interview with Sim he mentioned that funds were available for loan signings and it was up to Smith when he used them, Smith even said so himself and that he would only take players who would improve the squad. So whilst he has made what appears to be some decent signings so far, he continues to play the same formation when his squad is top heavy with midfielders and attackers. If he wanted defenders he should have bloody signed some or use the loan market that is available to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I’d give Barry nothing. His best spell as a manager came when he was faced with adversity with a 25 point deduction. Make him face his fears!My...there are a lot of those Facebook type photos with motivational quotes with regards to facing you fears. If I was Russia I’d invade. Ruth was onto something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? he's surplus to requirements at Hearts and basically getting paid to sit in the stands. It would only be a loan deal mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Even if Callachan was on the phone to Barry Smith every day about coming back, signing another central midfielder would be a sackable offence. If we do sign anyone it must be a right back or someone who can play either wide right or left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 No chance Callachan will end up this low down. Even if he would, we don't need a CM. RB or a winger if we've any money to spare, as everyone has said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Gut feeling is we'll wait until January before looking at any loan signings. Think we're hoping we'll be there or there abouts and look to strengthen further down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I heard that I thought of this initially. https://eaststirlingshirefc.co.uk/archives/category/news Probably a better move for him at the Shire TBH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We really need to bring in more bodies other teams especially Dumbarton sign three today, whether you like Smith or not we simply do not have enough depth and badly need reinforcements. Didn’t realise Arbroath have signed Callum Smith earlier in the week very good player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
