I remember the Scottish Cup tie with Motherwell where the lights failed and it was abandoned. Everyone got handed a voucher on the way out - problem was, more people turned up with vouxhers at the replay than had been at the first game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems he just followed us on Twitter (yep, it’s slow enough to be reduced to this sort of rumor). I saw more from young Ben in 15 mins than Fotherinham offered in all of the games he played at the end of last season Edited July 15, 2021 by Stainrod 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Hopefully still a centre back, centre midfielder and starting striker to come in as we're light/short of quality on that front. 21 of a squad but 19 when Holt and I assume Sneddon go out on loan. I'm also assumimg the 5 subs a game is continuing and you can have 18 in a matchday squad so another few signings even if it's just loans would see us covered. Goalkeeper Robbie Mutch Paddy Martin Luke Holt (To go out on loan) Defenders Paul Dixon CB/LB Blair Sneddon LB/LM (assume he'll go on loan) Ryan Williamson RB Brad Mckay CB/RB Ben Hall CB/as far away from the team as possible Leon McCann LB Cammy Williamson LB/LM Midfielders Callumn Morrison RM/LM Gary Miller CM/RB Steven Hetherington CM Aidan Nesbitt RM/LM/10 Charlie Telfer CM/10 Craig Mcguffie LM/CM/10 Seb Ross 10/RM/LM Ben Weekes LM/RM/10 Strikers Aidan Keena Anton Dowds Jaime Wilson 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I think our best hope up front is for a Premiership or upper Championship team to make a signing, potentially freeing up a player to either go out on loan or move to us on a free. I appreciate we've been linked with Michael 'Babe' Ruth, and I'd be willing to give him a fair chance if he signs, but I'd feel much more comfortable if it was someone with a few more games under their belt. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wouldn't mind Ruth coming in as an option but he's not my idea of the main solution. I'd like to see us bring in a striker from down south as most of the strikers who were already up here have got themselves a deal elsewhere and I don't want us relying on them falling out of favour or having to hold off till the end of August as we've got the league starting at the end of July. Surely Grainger's noticed a few strikers whilst he was down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind someone who plays the same way as him right enough as he was a right nuisance and towards the end of his loan he was adding goals to his game as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the exceptions of earlier successes and would like to think different generation/era and given how far we have fallen do you honestly think it end any different there are more to add to that list above though who came back and done just as well. If what happened at Dundee with him happened then its another gamble off field issues and injury prone it would just be another one of those to add to the list of board f**k ups and would divide the support, we aren't that side he was with the last time round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what Sheerin was saying, both will be in and out of the first team. So there could still be a good few to come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will bring in a striker but we need to wait until other clubs sort out their options before they know who is surplus. If we are including English leaves then it may be 4or 5 weeks before we can get someone in. Having some Patience will get us some better quality in the loan market. The later the club frees someone up the better they are likely to be! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't really afford to start the season at Cove with Dowds and Wilson as our only options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
