If Wilson is playing at a lot lower level then he might actually resemble a footballer. Griffiths played in State League 1 which I believe is below the NPL (which then feeds the A-League). So Wilson is going to a higher level than Griffiths was at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 1 hour ago, Springfield said: Agree, the point I was making is that we need to somehow get two/three players in that are better than what we’ve got. No easy task in January but sometimes managers can get lucky. Sibbs was used as an example only, as believe his playing time has been limited, and maybe worth an ask. Its not stopped the club paying ridiculously high wages to the likes of Griffiths last season. Right Back and 2 engine room players in the middle of the park are desperately needed. It's obvious that the opposition see Falkirk as a soft touch and get stuck in at the start on our midfield. Will get the best out of McGinn to create chances for the forwards while protecting a defense that sadly always have a silly goal to lose at any time. So if a team in a higher division have suitable players requiring 1st team games in a competitive league then if McGlynn is doing his joub has them lined up for signing next week. We will soon know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I don’t think we necessarily need “better” than what we already have, I think we need different. I think a midfielder(s) with more of a physical presence who better fits into whatever McGlynn’s midfield plan is……..that’s what we need. We don’t need better sand dancers…..we need less of them, A right back would of course, be nice to have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, Morrison, Nesbitt, McGuffie and Kennedy are the same style of player although some are better than others. Lawal is different, as is Henderson if selected to play in midfield. I’d like to see us add a midfielder who gives more of a physical presence. If we can only bring one in that would be my preference, I’d love another right back and striker but I don’t see us having the coin for that.

I’d imagine he’s not been involved in first team squads as he’s been playing with the under 18s but I think they have a break in games so was on the bench on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 If the tabloids are to be believed there are a few teams down south and up here looking at maybe signing Kennedy on a pre contract. Whether that might transpire into a permanent transfer in January remains to be seen. It's entirely conceivable of course Rangers could get offers for him and Alegria and we could be two players down. Which would leave us scratching about trying to get replacements added to trying to get shot of one or two more of the dross we have under contract. Could yet be a busy month for McGlynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Such is the nature of loan players. Different risks to signed players, but risks just the same. I guess it also depends on how watertight the loan agreements are, but again, there’s likely to be risks involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 McGlynn will have known in advance of the transfer window opening, about players returning to parent clubs, part and parcel of having loanees. It’s also a given he’s been identifying players that may be available. Never an easy window so we’ll so find out if we’ve been weakened or strengthened over the next few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Some sites/fans reporting ticket sales slow for Monday. If there’s a game we need all the supporters to come together, no time like the present. COYB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Aye, New Year, new terminology. Talk of “lots of games to play” and “lots of twists and turns still to come” start to fade, and are replaced by “January signings will define our season”, and “we can’t afford any more defeats” and eventually we all end up in the last chance saloon in March or April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're in the last chance saloon already, as far as the title is concerned anyway. Dunfermline aren't going to suddenly start to lose games to any great frequency. We must win this IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was playing at some very low level whilst on holiday in Western Australia, I'd never heard of the club and the footage I saw it was like he was playing in a public park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
