Which was the big difference between him and Morrison/Kinnear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there a hot young goalie playing in the higher leagues that can get game time with a loan deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedictus last season is a great example of this. Never going to be seen as an exciting signing however it was his leadership and expert that Dunfermline built their success on. Benedictus you kinda knew what you were getting with him which is why we were in for him aswell. He wasn't a punt but I get your point not exactly a box office signing either. He was certainly more solid than what we had at centre half and still have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I had Hogarth down as the best of the 4 we had on the books last season. Agree that pairing him with an experienced backup would be smart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 If you're signing MacDonald, he has to be first choice, surely? He was in The Courier saying the main thing is that he wants to play football. Will Hogarth be a cheap back-up? Seems like it's one or the other, no? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Hogarth will be that cheap given he's coming off the back of being at Nottingham Forest. When you sending Finlay Robertson our way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you sending Finlay Robertson our way? That's what I mean - so I'd imagine it'd have to be one or the other! We've yet to hear anything on Robertson. Still waiting to hear if Sam Fisher (likely Dunfermline bound), Max Anderson, Finlay Robertson & bizarrely, Pierre Reedy (we sign a complete random from America pretty much every year that just doesn't play) as to whether they've agreed new contracts or not. A loan to you guys for Robertson would be ideal as he's not kicked on after his initial promise and it's getting to make or break time! I was actually hoping we'd send you Harrison Sharp to be your first choice keeper as he looks like he has cracking potential and started last season as our first choice, but he needs games and he's 22 now so needs to do something to stake a claim in our side sooner rather than later but will likely be our 3rd choice this season but looks like you lads are not short of options currently! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm thinking, Hogarth won't want to sit on the bench and neither will MacDonald. Which is why I'm leaning to it being one or the other. Given the circumstances and if we are only bringing in six or seven signings, i don't see the point in giving two goalkeepers a wage when one could be better spent in another area of the team. However there is the McGlynn factor so he probably has some theory on why it is essential to have both.

We have no goalies or a Gk coach. Think it’s a fair bet that we’ll need to spend at least two wages on the goalkeeping department or the poor c**t will need to hit shots into himself all week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would MacDonald be happy as player coach though? Particularly if he wants to play every week. I suppose we will find out shortly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I think you probably do need 2 competent GKs as if you don’t, you know you aren’t getting dropped regardless of performances. Would be happy if the 2 GKs were Hogarth & McDonald (coach too). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Jamie MacDonald in The Courier earlier last week: 'First and foremost, I still want to play, I still have that hunger to play. If you are going into that player-coach role, I think it’s a little bit more difficult in terms of being a No 1. For the coaching, you almost need to take a step back from the playing side and then be ready when needed. I’d rather do it properly. Maybe if I start slowing down' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, He will be chasing the money and if a better offer came in from down south then he would be silly not to take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
