It's not Crunchy Carrots fault as designers - that's on the club to provide the updated content as it's built on a CMS which should make it manageable. The argument the employees doing it are part-time/volunteer doesn't wash as there's all manner of tools they obviously have to hand to run this with minimal resourcing. Hate knocking this stuff but I just want the club to maximise every avenue they can. A few teething issues and with Swinnie on holiday it gives the impression that we’re miles short on staffing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Weren't us and Dundee Utd heavy favourites to win the championship a few years ago? We had a terrible first half of the season, imporved to finish 8th after a massive January clearout and beat Dundee United 6-1 as they struggled as well - St Mirren and Livingston ended up going up IIRC? I'm not saying the bookies are stupid but those odds won't be based on much, as Marshmallow says Skybet have us joint favourites with Dunfermline. Given how much we've struggled over the last two years and considering the nick of the Pars squad at the moment that is also a bold assumption that either of us will do well. I'm just hoping we can sell as many season tickets as possible so that our starting 11 for the first game of the season contains as few of last season's jobbers as possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still work to be done but getting promoted out of the league this season shouldn't require a "miracle". We are short going forward and lacking creativity as it stands but we should be relatively solid at the back and into midfield. Williamson is a massive concern for me too if I'm honest I have no faith in him at all. Worryingly slow and you couldn't fit a fag paper under him when he jumps. We should be looking at other right backs as a priority imo. I thought Williamson was shocking last Friday. Looked nothing like a professional athlete, lacking in every dept. Total liability. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was with us, he had pace, but no footballing ability. If he’s lost that pace (probably not a huge surprise given his injury history), then I can’t see him resembling a footballer at all and you will definitely need a better option at RB. Think the league could be close this year. So far, not seeing much to split most of the squads. Probably comes down to who has the best manager/who gets the best loanees. You’ll certainly be up there challenging with McGlynn. But, similar to us, there will be concerns about the mentality/attitude of some of the players the new manager has inherited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visually on paper we seem to have a far stronger set of strikers on the books which will hopefully help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does well to get forward in support then takes fucking ages to get back. Also when he does eventually get he’s a fucking rotten defender. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he's ok going forward when he gets his gallop on and has a decent delivery but defensively he's woeful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I thought Williamson was incredibly disappointing last year, it really looks like injuries have done him in and he never really delivered on the "good going forward" part of the deal to accept his defensive shortcomings. He'd be in the trebuchet for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, he was a very, very, very exciting player to watch when he first came into the scene, had a couple of howling injuries but even after that he got himself into the championship toty and Scotland U21 squad, I thought the move to Falkirk would be a good one for him and really help him his confidence. I think he really struggled with confidence towards the end of his time with us, it's a shame he hasn't found it since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their way out the door, perhaps?

I'd rather spend my time discussing stuff that could be easily rectified and improve some supporters experience than worry about Jaime Wilson getting game time against Stranraer or analyse if Williamson will ever make a player. That's been done to death on here too but I won't complain if others want to discuss it. Handily on P&B I can be ignored 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I don't think we will be anywhere near the title not with this squad. Unless we somehow shift some of last season's dross which is looking less likely by the day and McGlynn makes every signing still to come in a good one. We have nothing up front a the majority of last seasons shitebag midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Someone on here a while back (if it was you, please step up and take credit) said Williamson runs like a wean chasing a balloon and it's probably one of the best and most accurate descriptions of a player I've ever seen.

PedroMoutinho Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Being realistic I think we’ll be very fortunate to get 4th place unless there is a significant injection of quality which is unlikely to happen going by Mcglynn’s comments. We’ve improved on paper at centre half but are still 1 injury away from McKay starting there, Williamson won’t do at right back. Mcginn is the only decent midfielder we have- I wouldn’t want to rely on Nesbitt at all to be our number 10 for the season. There’s still absolutely no creativity in the side and nothing upfront. Being honest I thought we’d be further forward with recruitment at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
