This is a pretty common theme here, and is likely based upon some rose tinted recollections of a player like Tumilty rampaging down his wing while discounting the massive liability player that offensively minded player like that tend to be at their primary role. Meanwhile, IMO, we have the best Dick in the league, and quite possibly the best Dick in football these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that can win the aerial battle fron Dabrowski's kicks or opposition keepers to keep pressure on the opposition. Cant see Turner being released from County and saw Telfer as a good replacement. But yeah your right that was a little problem last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was allowed out on loan albeit a different manager but I'm thinking Cowie will have his own targets potentially from down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I wondered if Ross Callaghan might get released from County. He’s just back from injury and out of contract. I’d take him back if Byrne isn’t signing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 If Stevenson (sorry I mean Stevo) is the next announcement it's disappointing as we've known for about 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair, but at the same time we've seen a big increase in our matches against less attractive matches such as the likes of Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't rose tinted specs with me, I just don't think he's actually as good at defending as others do. He rarely stops the cross, can get caught for pace or a quick one two etc. I wouldn't be unhappy if we keep him as he is a decent enough championship defender but I do think we can improve on and must improve on him and our past couple seasons rbs if we want to really have a go at winning the league next season. He really doesn't offer much going forward though, he either lumps it aimlessly long or turns back and plays it to the cb the majority of the time. Which would be fine if we didn't have the central midfielders who want the ball and can actually take the ball and move it on 20 yards, but we do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, he isn't a bad Championship defender but there's better out there. Too many crosses come on without the player being closed down. We also constantly see a lumped ball put up field to a small striker or winger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies I wasn't meaning anything by your crowds, I was talking specifically about the line where it says championship crowds have increased by so many. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we thank you for your £24 each time you visited us this season. But yes a few teams would have helped that average attendance. Equally we can only play who is in front of us. I’m confident if either of our teams went up a level we would of course have increased crowds. interesting to see we were the 14th best supported club and we ended up 14th, pars 11th and Falkirk 12th Edited May 30 by Offshore Rover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrraith71 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I honestly don’t think turner will sign. He will be looking for a team closer to home going by his interview of “personal” matters I really liked him when he played in the right position. A real asset to the team and was missed in the county games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
