Raith Rovers deal turned down by East Kilbride youngster - Daily Record Fair play to the lad, will get more game time at EK. Wouldn't be surprised if he's spoken to the likes of Arnott and decided to stay where he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't imagine he'd get any game time with all the midfielders we still have signed, albeit if hes that good he could've been loaned back to EK, it's the daily ranger though so I wouldn't read too much into the story 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? We can't run with two senior, specialist CBs. Corr isn't good enough to be starting week in, week out and we've already had a season of folk moanng about Brown and Dick's shortcomings as auxiliary CBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine he's in the Hannah/Arnott/Masson mould. Huge jump from LL to even League 2 nevermind the Championship - he'd have been one eye on development. I don't think it's a bad decision from a young lad to focus on playing games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just playing Fitba Manager on the salaries me ol' China. Can't imagine any of Fordyce, Murray, Hanlon, Stevenson or Dick are going to be happy 'riding the pine'. We were pish at the back most of the season, granted we had injuries but if we got an offer for Murray to take on his contract I'd not be surprised if they took it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need four centre backs so hope Corr signs too, can’t see Ashcroft coming now if Hanlon signs or the need for him if Corr signs . Just depends if Corr is willing to bide his time again this season or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Hanlon is cheap, but I also don't think the club will have decided to spunk cash on him with the idea he'll be fit and available for a whole season. Centre backs get injured, they pick up suspensions, on average and at our level they tend to be older. CB availability has to be one of the real limiting factors on how a team performs. If we are looking to progress it has to be done with a squad where you can slot someone in without lowering the overall ability. That's real depth - not sending in someone like Corr or Masson and then adapting how you play to keep the pressure off them. 3 CBs who can start a game is a hard requirement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 On a much sadder note, David Thomson (one of the scorers in the 6-0 v the Pars on NYD 1983) has passed away aged 65. RIP. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new cb’s are excellent and a vast improvement to what we have but the laddie needs to get out and play, it’s the only way he will “learn and develop” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Like we had in the midfield/ forward positions this season, competition is key for defence. Having 3/4 cbs all wanting to and more importantly being good enough to start every week isn't going to be easy to manage, but it's probably a better headache for Murray to have than having none available, than having to put brown to cb. Hanlon Fordyce and Murray would be a very good trio to have. I do think it would probably mean corr would be the one moved on though as dick offers the versatility. All depends on what's happening with the negotiations for those two though. Corr needs regular football now to develop so if we do sign him, if be hoping he's put out on loan for the first half of the season to get that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 If Corr were to stay he would be training next to better defensive players than he has this season. Also Fordyce has coaching experience which should benefit his development. If Dick stays as well then Corr can go on loan and get league experience. If we deal with him properly and invest in his development he could be a very good young CB and those don't grow on trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Looking at some of the squad - Fordyce, Stevenson, Hanlon, Murray, Stanton, Vaughan, Easton, Matthews , Smith, Connolly, Mullin and Scott Brown. Can’t be bothered to work it out but the average age of the team is far higher than 2 seasons back. Looks really talented and experienced to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
