Agents will tell him that. Good on him putting a bit of pressure on the Board to find the funds to add to, too small a squad. I doubt the board are going to suddenly find a wad of extra cash to give to him just because he's bleating about what others are spending. He should maybe have been a bit more savvy when handing Nesbitt a two year deal when I doubt there was a queue for his services and maybe the details of the contracts when he signed Oliver and McGinn aswell as trying to move heaven and earth in the close season to somehow get shot of McKay. All Ifs and buts ofcourse. I wouldn't say the squad is too small it just doesn't have the strength in depth in terms of quality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury out on Nesbitt, agreed. The squad is too small. We have 3 injuries already another two who went off last weekend. In terms of quality I disagree with you. The front 4, Spencer, Lang, Henderson for example would probably play in every other team in the league and you have Yeats developing well. Even Donaldson and Nesbitt are easily good enough when they are on form. Where do you think we dont have the quality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well since you mention it ... and thanks for your input Will be interesting to see the results today. Hamilton look favourites to keep their winning start going but Edinburgh City will be keen to get off the mark, especially at home. Opportunity for QotS to leapfrog us in what I assume is a renewed derby for them against Annan. Alloa and Kelty also able to put pressure on us and Stirling with the outcome. Although we're not playing will definitely be keeping an eye on our division today. Edited August 19, 2023 by Blame Me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) Players at teams like forest green down south will be getting paid more than some players at the likes of Livingston never mind league one. Loan signing costs are always difficult to quantify as it depends on how much of the wages they are paying. . Guys on the fringes of playing in the top flight get paid a fortune these days. Logan Chalmers I see has gone back to Ayr. Now i don't know ayrs wage structure but I doubt they'd be able to afford even half his wage more likely a quarter to a third. The boy Tait will.be on a decent wad at Hibs. Edited August 19, 2023 by Shodwall cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, we should sack McGlynn because of the Shire’s defeat to Berwick Rangers at The Falkirk Stadium, because……ermmm….we should….and….you know…..aye, that’s why.

Literally no one appeals for it either Would help if Cove didn't film their highlights with a potato. Either that or some of Hartley's grease has been smeared over the lens. If it has come off his arm it's in the ridiculously soft category, where Kirkland conveniently didn't award a penalty for very similar claim we had later in the game I agree I've watched it 6 or 7 times and can't tell whether he's headed it or its hit his hand.. The ball moves more as if it was headed to me. He would needed to have proper punched it with a closed fist to get it to move that cleanly which would be incredibly stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit was initially 100% not a penalty. Watched it a few times more and absolutely not sure. A CR fan I know well, said from his viewpoint it’s never a penalty. Think it’s time to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughsie Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 No point looking at the league table at the moment but one thing I would say is; does anybody think we’re capable of going away to Edinburgh or Montrose and winning easily by 2 or 3 goals. I can’t see it and that’s worrying for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose have now lost at home without scoring a goal to both cove and kelty hearts so no reason again why we can't win up there comfortably this season. The 3 points is the most important thing anyway. Away from home a win in any manner does me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it and that’s worrying for me. It will all come out in the wash. We brushed aside Annan after a couple of scares, but they haven’t troubled anyone else either. We have reverted to type where a draw at a seriously weakened Cove is seen as a good result, and that’s become familiar territory for us. I fully expect us to beat SA on Tuesday. If we don’t then the pressure will start to rise really quickly. A table showing us 4 or 5 points adrift after 3 games would not be a good look, but as I say, I expect Hamilton’s lead to be back down to 2 points come Tuesday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
