Jilted John Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Fordyce looks too much like Euan Murray for my liking. I’ll probably get them mixed up and shout the wrong name and look foolish! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Wait, so was Fordyce in Murray's plans if we went up? This probably spells the end for Watson I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spot on Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Can’t justify giving Watson another contract with his injury record Edited May 28 by spot on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 The sort of player we've been crying out for. Love that hoodie as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Great signing for Raith, watched all the games between the side this season and what was glaring was Raiths inability to pass out of defence, when under pressure, which is an integral part of most sides, Fordyce can do this with ease .. He was a great servant and is probably on his last decent contract at 32, wish him all the very best... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Airdrie announced he was leaving (out of the blue) when we lost on Sunday. Was maybe one of those players lined up for thr Championship rather than Premiership. Cant see Hanlon coming in now-he was maybe the Premiership option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Still waiting on Stevenson but we've been waiting for about 4 years now for that one. I would have thought we'd announce the retained list before any new signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Rover Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Stevenson’s already signed up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 With this signing I can't see us getting Hanlon as well. We'll re-sign Corr for cover and Dick for the cover of the cover and Brown would be there for the cover of the cover of the cover if worst came to worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nothing, we have been waiting on Gary Glen for about 15 years! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last 2 defenders who were good at playing out from the back was Benedictus and Davidson (Davo being a former midfielder of course) and once the left it was only really Tom Lang but he was not long back from injury and played just that season then moved on. both Murray and Watson are old school defenders and ain’t great at playing out and your right that was a big difference between us in the games having no one who could do it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has talked about wanting to have that option as well, but its not something all players can do easily If we want to play a 3 atb we need fullbacks who can also play as wing backs up and down the pitch for 90 mins but I trust Murray and the recruitment team to have a plan in place for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray has talked about wanting to have that option as well, but its not something all players can do easily You can basically play him any formation, normally plays left centre half and knows how to defend , I know that sounds silly, a criticism I always had was he is very quiet and lacks a bit of pace.. A good 7 out of 10 every week, first name on the team sheet etc.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it's all about opinions, but if you had a Scottish Footballing Dictionary, those two would be under the definition of 'meat and potatoes'. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 If Megwa is shipped out on loan again, wonder if Murray can use his Hibee connections to get him along here? Fordyce seem a really solid addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
