R.R.FC Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) People need to remember we need a squad of players. Remember when we had 8 or 9 players out November/December time last year and still kept churning out results. We’d all love a squad 22 equally talented players but that’s not how it works at this level. Happy JM has went with players he trusts. Even if we sign up every player who is out of contract (unlikely) that’ll still leave us 8 players down on last season so there is still scope to add the additional quality we require. Vaughan back available is already like a new signing (although given his injury record he can’t be relied upon for 27 games). I honestly don’t think we need much to be a decent side at this level. A right back, a centre half, a couple of strikers, another winger and maybe a keeper and I think we look pretty strong. That’s 6 additions replacing 8 outgoings (And it’ll be more than that if Miller or Dingwall don’t re-sign) We have 12 weeks till our first competitive game to make those additions. Thomson/New Keeper New RB New CB Bene MacDonald Matthews Spencer Hendry Vaughan New Striker Armstrong Looks a decent team to me and leaves McGurn, Davo, McKay, Anderson, Tait, Smith as well as the youngsters as back up along space for another couple of additions for depth. If there are no new signings in the next 12 weeks then by all means panic but I think at the moment some people need to settle down. Consistency always plays a key part in McGlynn’s success, he took a team from 7th to title challengers by basically only adding John Baird and Willie Dyer IIRC. He knows what he’s doing.

Wardy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 To be honest we are lucky to have players commit to us, considering we STILL don’t know what league we will be in next season.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Are we to assume that the players not mentioned have been released? Or have some been offered deals and have either declined them or not made up their minds yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt many of the players we've announced today would have been inundated with better offers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 One thing you will get from Ando is 100% every time he plays. All the players think he is under-rated ( watch bairdies interview) will surprise a few people this year and maybe happy to be a squad playerI like ando and he does offer us something different. I do think at this stage in his career the championship is maybe a stretch too far for him though. I'm happy to be proven wrong though. Unless we can let Mendy go, I think that's us from a CB perspective. That would be worrying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could do that as a series of tweets: "WHO WANTED MORE MONEY, FIND OUT AT 8PM" WHO WAS GENERALLY JUST SHITE, ROOM AT ANOTHER CLUB?"

I'd bet on us getting another CB in, McGlynn realised that Mendy wasn't up to snuff so he punted him on loan and brought in Anderson. What makes you think he'll be happy to kick off in the league upstairs with a trio that struggled at times in L1? Mendy will be loaned out again and there'll be another centre back brought in, it makes no sense not to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant disagree with that, though I think Miller will be signed up and played at right back (though I'd prefer a new signing in there and Miller the Filler) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bene is solid enough, McKay fas a future (imo) and Davo is a squad reserve on the cheap. You need 2 as 1st choice and 2 for cover for injuries and suspensions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
