Maybe even one that's capable of filling in a fullback position, or a fullback who can play CH. As Kingsley would have been. I'm not sure we need a winger. Laverty is a promising (if untested) backup who was unlucky to pick up an injury early in preseason and who hopefully won't be out for much longer. Todd has shown glimpses of what he can do and Connolly seems to have been rejuvenated since M&M arrived. That's three players for two positions, before you count the fact that Alston can play there too. And then there's Cal Morrison. From what I've seen of his performances during the four preseason games, Morrison is top quality. The boy is a player. If he remains clear of injury then signing another winger would be a waste of a wage. No doubt that Morrison and Connolly will be our starting two wingers. Todd was played more centrally when he started for us last season and Alston as well will most likely be played centrally. That leaves Leitch and Laverty as our cover out wide who are both untested albeit Leitch has shown glimpses in preseason of what he can do. The centre backs a necessity the other winger would just be a nice to have especially if they bring a bit more quality into our squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as them we’ve got Robbie Leitch who seems to be more of a wide player, the ghost of Charlie Telfer and even Conor Sammon has one of his best games for us playing wide left away to Raith.We’ve more than enough midfielders in the squad. Only really the defence that needs strengthened now with us getting that young jobber on loan from Motherwell as a back-up ‘keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having versatile players is key, no point collecting multiple players for every position when there is no reserve league and considering the current climate. I really hope this season starts and finishes normally as we have a reet gid chance IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I don't think the young lad will be back up keeper all season, anyone know the length of his short term deal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I don't think the young lad will be back up keeper all season, anyone know the length of his short term deal? I’m pretty sure the minimum term for a contract has to be ‘window to window’. However the loan could technically be until January but agreed between the clubs that we would terminate the loan next week when Morrison gets back from Scotland under 21 duty if it’s indeed correct that’s who we’re bringing in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Do any of you fine people know of a good place to watch tonight's game abroad? Premier Sports doesn't work here in Germany even with a VPN. EDIT- Friday night. f**k the Scotland game, bunch of uninspiring c***s.

With him being a goalie though I'd presume it's an emergency loan just like st Mirren had when all their keepers went down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get an emergency goalie loan when you have a fit one? I don't know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 17 hours ago, Back Post Misses said: We have lost 1000 ST holders since we got relegated to this league. That is over 200k in income. I am one of those and had absolutely not contact from the club to ask the reason why or encourage me to buy. They would be better chasing that lost income that gimmicks like this. Much more productive use of commercial time. I think its fairly obvious that relegation and subsequent Covid restrictions are the main reasons ST sales are lower. Any initiative that brings in extra money should be supported, the 'wall' is a no brainer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Auld Jean if she's not covering for the Sammon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just added Premier Sports on to my Virgin sub. Approx £12. Have to take for a month. Will get family members round to watch therefore quite cheap. Just hope game is not cancelled. Weekend restaurant bookings scrapped so therefore big savings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
