All here but hendo has a bit of a knock so wasn't taking part . Nisbett didn't take part in the football at the end but not sure why. Mcginn was there though. Was excellent couple of hours.My boy got his pictures taken with all the players and loved it. Edited July 6, 2023 by Shodwall cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys just can't prove fitness running in straight lines but can cover every blade of grass on a pitch over 90 minutes when they have a particular role to fill. I know what you mean some will run after a ball all day but when it comes to just running hate it and struggle. Certainly Allen was well involved in the games and looked sharp enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys just can't prove fitness running in straight lines but can cover every blade of grass on a pitch over 90 minutes when they have a particular role to fill. People have different core strengths. No pace but can run all day. Electric pace over 4 - 5 yards then nothing special. Pace but needs a few yards to get up to it. Slow but can turn faster than the opposition. Blend these individual attributes together into a team pattern making an effective unit is where the manager comes into it maximizing the strengths and minimizing the weaknesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"18 new signings" is just not an accurate representation. 14 players were already taking up 60% of the budget at the start of the season as reported by the board on multiple occasions. That means your 18 signings had to be made with only 40% of the budget and several of them were on loans and relying on people going out in January. That is very clearly NOT the same thing as having the budget to sign 18 players from scratch with say 80% of the budget at the beginning of a season. This season he does have that, all his signings are his own and he has designated budget as he has wanted. Use this excuse at the end of the season if we are in the same situation but just reusing the same argument over and over when it's one of the least effective arguments for why McGlynn should be gone is just tiresome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan looked sharp to me during the games at the end, thought Ola was brilliant Yeah as I said he did look sharp in the matches. My main point was that some managers can be sticklers for players that struggle in the fitness parts of training so I just wondered if that had been one of the reasons why he didn't get much game time last season. Who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alongside Morrison, Agyeman, Miller and Spencer we could have the best attack in the league. Early days and still 2 or three players short imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSS is holding a meeting of members on 1 Sept at the club where we will discuss how the future funds from our members should be given to the club. One option is to agree to the issuing of new shares. There are also other options too. Currently there are only 50,000 shares left in the club to buy which were ring-fenced for FSS - however there is some debate if FSS should buy them now (there is money to do that) or let the club sell them elsewhere. A decision is yet to be made on that as there are arguments for both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came to a 11 a-side training game an hour later and I felt totally fine getting about the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah more could be created but got to make sure that neither FSS or Patrons start to dwarf the other shareholders. 3rd leg of the stool is still important. Personally I wouldn't want to see either group move past a 33% holding. 26% remains to me the magic number for either group and would be happy at both holding that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a cracker during one game at the end and cleared one off the line later on which I particularly liked. My main observation - and it could be the absence of Hendo today - but we don't seem to have much physicality in the middle of the pitch though happy to be corrected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's barely fit enough now why on earth did we sign, let alone pay money for, the guy? It’s probably all relative to opinion tbh. Some people think McGlynn is a managerial God, others think he absolutely pish. The reality is he’s someplace in between. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
