AL-FFC Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Would you believe it said: This was a repressed memory I didn't need to know I had. Funnily enough that brought it all back to me as well, still done better than dennon lewis and in fact prob most of the past 3 seasons teams, think thats probably where the past 3 seasons got their inspiration from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann and McManus next please Ndaba and Paton still quite heavy linked, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine they were starting many games for yourselves last year if they were C team players but there is a gulf between the two leagues. Nesbitt played over 30 games and McGuffie over 20 games in all competitions for Morton last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Decent' yes but if you're planning to actually get out of the league then a two year deal for McGuffie in particular makes little sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you'd have said the same about Telfer and he was a stand out for us last season in a very poor squad albeit. At 23 he still has time to find some consistency also may just be a case of finding the right team or system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Doubt we're starting Morrison, Nesbitt and Mcguffie together so maybe he's been signed as backup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a choice of a one year deal in the champ or a one year deal in league one then we ain't winning. We won't be going mad on the wages front either so it's longer deals. We've got excellent previous experience in punting guys with a year to go on their contracts anyway if necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to have options especially in wide positions as you very rarely get a consistent winger especially at this level. 4 would be preferable and Mcguffie's left sided so seems like a good option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, big issue last year was having nothing on the bench in any position! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an argument that any division that makes Robbie Muirhead look like Zlatan over the play-offs will make any player stand out, but if simply shipping in Championship dross and relying on the level to help them was effective then you wouldn't be a midtable League One team now (see McLean, R. and all your other jobber signings). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I was always of the impression McGuffie would be more suited to a 10 rather than a winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 McGuffie could well turn out to be a decent option. Still 23 as well so has the potential to develop further under Paul Sheerin. Again though I'm not sure about us handing out 2 and 3 year deals to average bottom end championship players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Whilst the signings so far have been ok, there's not one that stands out, hoping that is still to come... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nobody so far that's a class above what we've had for the last 2 years and not been able to get out of this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Williamson for me has been the cream of the crop so far but still a good few signings to make as that's us at a squad of just 14. So should be at least 5/6 more to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking the same. All of the signings are better than those who left but aren't anything to shout about. We are building a decent enough side but still lack quality up front and a box-to-box dynamic centre mid. BPM's boy Williamson or Cammy Ballantyne coupled with McManus would be ideal. If looking at like for like replacements. Williamson > Mercer. McKay > Durnan. Nestbitt > Connolly. Hetherington > 53 year old Gomis. McGuffie > Leitch. Upgrading Kelly, Alston, Francis and Sammon shouldn't be particularly hard. Edited June 11, 2021 by Peter LaFleur 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having more than one option out wide cannot be a bad thing. Once Morrison was marked out of a game we were done for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
