bairn88 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Definitely not a starter so Yeats keeps his spot for now. Good to have backup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senor Bairn Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Think Yeats will keep his place until he has a howler. He's been good the past few games though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, but f**k me it feels good to not play out scenarios that end with Brad Mckay playing right back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us thought we needed a right back, but our young laddie back up in that position Yeats has put in a good shift and deserves his place. So now with another young laddie, Bisland we have a backup to our backup? Of course we need cover when Yeats inevitably gets injured and I know we have no money for an established right back, but this seems to be a last resort kind of move. No disrespect to Bisland or Yeats, they are both young and finding their feet in football, just kind of underlines the state we have got ourselves in. If Yeats deserves his place then what we have in Bisland is a backup to our right back. Which also creates scope for Finn to be a backup in central midfield. What this is, is a calculated risk in order to afford to have guys like Spencer, Miller, Lang and Agyeman who are all well capable and had offers to play at a higher level. It's McGlynns calculated risk based on his oft mentioned need for quality over quantity. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I would imagine that the new guy will get a run out against Ayr, maybe with Yeats going into the middle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to buy tickets for Saturday online and I can't as I've had the temerity to have more than one child! Why do clubs make it difficult to take money from fans ECFC matchday guide indicates I can pay at the turnstile but a mild inconvenience. Hope we stuff them just for this reason alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the budget is well and truly gone. All depends how much this laddie is costing us, but you can near enough guarantee it’ll be no more than £1k a month. He has a pretty low level CV, so if Brechin, Peterhead and Cowdenbeath had him on loan, and he is nowhere near knocking on DU’s first team door, he will be cheap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe The Hype Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Whilst I jest, in all seriousness, that will put McKay even further down the pecking order. Will he be happy to take a wage for a season with no football played meaning no one would be willing to take a punt once his contract is up, or realise if he still wants to play for the next few years he will need to find a club where he features more regularly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a young guy on loan from the top flight. Just anyone but him. If Brad McKay can move on I'd be tempted to just save the cash. This loan allows Henderson drop back if need be as Yeats can cover midfield, there's Logan who's been on the bench lately and Mackie to come back. All I think would be better options. At 30 years old and his contract up in the summer I think McKay must have quite a bit to mull over now. Not an easy position to be in but it's the brutal reality of football I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless by some miracle another full time club fancies him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
