The road back from Craig Campbell's demolition of our club is cautiously but firmly on it's way. A lot of positives starting to raise their heads at the club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing Al. Also had a great poem about the McAllister IPA from another fan. We’re lucky to have such talented supporters!

bairn88 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I saw the U16’s were 2-0 up on Hearts U16 tonight (no idea how it finished) Of course as Ian Fergus says results really aren’t that important at that level but to me it seems quite incredible we can already compete with established academy teams....very promising 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say that what I saw was a very energetic & committed team (U16s tonight rather than the U18s) and all put themselves across well. Some of the one touch passing & the movement, as John Collins would say, was tremendous. Nice wee crowd there of around 150-200. As already said, I hear they expected to be a taught a lesson on Sunday & Last night but was far from it. Would certainly go back & will try catch the U18s at some point too.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Given how many of our signings have been leaked so far before they've been announced, it wouldn't surprise me if it is Gavin Reilly. Would be happy enough with that signing. Decent player for this level and certainly fits Sheerin's criteria of being energetic and being able to play anywhere across the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Certainly wouldn’t be the goal scorer we were thinking of. If it were to be Reilly, I think he would be hard pushed to guarantee 5 goals a season let alone 15. Of course, whoever it turns out to be, it’s likely to be a less well known face, but one that suits whatever Sheerin’s concept is for the front line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Reilly on a season long loan I'll bet you however much money you want that he would score over 5.5 goals for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can’t Reilly be a good striker for us and get us those goals. He’s done it at st mirren and QOS in the championship. Look at Declan McManus before coming to us he had only been prolific at one club (Morton when they were in league 1). I think it’s either going to be gavin Reilly or Michael Ruth. I would prefer Reilly - proven goal scorer to some extent and adds needed experience up top. Edited August 18, 2021 by Big chungus 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bairn88 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Reilly is miles better than Wilson ompreon and dowds. In the current climate that’s basically all we could hope for imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was out for 4 months at end of last season, hamstring tear. Been on bench for majority of games so far. Sounds viable he'l go out on loan to get up to speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had two really deep purple patches at QOS and St Mirren but hasn't done much at all elsewhere. Maybe it's to do with the system played and Sheerin has identified that he'd fit ours, who knows? Either way, it's about as much as we can expect in our current situation I would say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Caractacus Potts Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I think Reilly is a good player and happy to have him in the squad however wouldn’t rely on him to be the proven goal scorer we need. Worth a punt though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 With Martindale saying he would be keen for Reilly to go on loan until January it makes sense for Dowds to be returning to us in January. Hopefully both loans can be extended. (If this move does ever materialise, that is.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been interested in Ruth ages and nothing has happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are forgetting that Alan Stubbs is a fucking diddy ETA: He only didn't get a new contract because St Mirren had just been promoted to the Premiership. His 11 goals in 27 starts and 8 sub appearances that season looks like a pretty similar record to McManus at that level and we all know how good he was in League 1 Edited August 18, 2021 by NavyBlueArmy1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
