Guest Ecosse83 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I think if Oliver had the option to extend himself it would have been announced before now, he’s not exactly going to be inundated with offers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn in Exile Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 From the high of the cash injection yesterday to the low of Gary Oliver getting another year. It's tough supporting the Bairns. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually love that kit although more so for the Beazer Homes version of it the season after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big chungus Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Trying to stay positive but we really need some new signings that can freshen things up and ultimately win the league. Oliver is not the one I’m afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 10 years probably had enough. I don’t think enough people appreciate how much the volunteers do at our club. Sometimes it’s only when they leave it’s understood. The TV role is a massive commitment and good luck to those that are prepared to take it on. Especially when they read some of the stuff on here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be we only go with 1 experienced GK & use the modern apprentice GK on the bench. Let’s face it, we just get a 7 day loan in for a GK if we need it, as others have done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 If we are indeed going with a squad of 21/22 not inc the young development players then here is my tuppence worth.

You don’t want a player who knows they’re going to start every week regardless of performances. Also, imagine we’re in a title decider up at Cove, our goalkeeper gets injured and you’re left bringing on a 17 year old kid. Not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Was almost a stick on Oliver would be staying he's one of McGlynn's favourites. Still a downer though. Not surprised PJ has left. When you sign a permanent keeper then he can't get a game for loanees one of whom was no better, then that's got to be a bit of a kick in the nuts. Looking at the retained list it's not great, McGlynn will really need a good few additions of much better quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 55 minutes ago, AGPar said: No surprise whatsoever at this news. The list of players retained gives the squad very much a same old, same old feeling when I think a significant refresh was required after the absolute disaster that was the conclusion to last season. Squad has very little spine to it - in any sense. Can only hope that any further additions are guaranteed starters every week, we're already oversubscribed with filler/back-up/squad player types. Genuinely thought we had a half decent spine when we had the run of games where we looked like giving our neighbours competition. No need to remind anyone that todays confirmation of who’s staying, puts enormous pressure on who McGlynn brings in. Think we can expect far lower numbers of new faces than many were expecting.

ebobsboy Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 But that gets me is he was bleating on about conceding too many goals. If your keeping the entire defence that played a significant part in that then how does he hope it's going to get better? A new keeper who is decent will help but when you have a combination of Donaldson/Mackie/McKay in front of you they are still going to gift chances and goals. Is Watson going to be the saviour if he gets fit and earns a deal in pre season I don't think so. He needs to try and shift more imo especially when we are a bit top heavy at centre half if you factor in Henderson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
