ebobsboy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Hopefully you sign him then. Sounds like an absolute nothing player and as much as I think McGlynn has recruited reasonably well for us so far on paper at least with the possible exception of Gary Oliver who just feels like a meh signing, Kennedy I don't think I'd be too bothered about missing out on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 If Kennedy is top of the list then it's one really shitty list. Saw Lewis Martin interview in the Press talking about his frustration about how things ended with us, felt he should have played more towards end of the season etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Kennedy would probably do alright in League One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Couple of things. First, @101is it worth setting up a page for people to donate what they can/want to for the sponsorship? This can then either be topped up by someone, if required, or excess funds can be donated to the club/PST? Just seems better than asking for people to donate a certain amount. Means some people aren’t priced out of it. Also, think Kennedy would probably be alright at this level. Would be a fairly good signing if we got him. However, the appeal of working with McGlynn again might be bigger than the appeal of returning to a club he flopped at last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably agree but we mustn't fall into the trap of thinking that players will be alright in League One based on who they've played for etc - just look at Falkirk who have made many "he should be a cracking signing at this level" acquisitions only for them to stink the division out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to be managed/coached properly to be a decent signing. Kennedy seems to have potential. If our coaching team don’t have what it takes to help him improve/learn, he wouldn’t be a good signing. I’m just saying that he has the potential to be a decent signing at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I've seen Kennedy play against us with 3 clubs & also for us. He's done very little to impress apart from 1 game last season were he scored a couple - can't remember who against. He's definitely got the talent but whether League One would work for him is highly debatable to be honest. On the one hand he could do a Super Joe & just spend 9 months ripping defenders apart for fun or he could do the exact opposite & disappear altogether. I'm thinking it might work but wouldn't be that fussed if he went elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 He'll be playing against worse players in League One that he ever has before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I don't think it's so much the ability of the opposition that'll suit Kennedy, more the fact that you'd expect to have the vast majority of the ball in most games. He's not a player for a battle or game that's going to be decided on fine margins, but in a game where you're dominating he'll make life miserable for the opposition. If he's only getting two or three chances a game then he's no use, but if you can get the ball to him one-on-one with his fullback six, seven or eight times in a game he'll make things happen. Last season, he'd have been a better player for Kilmarnock at the top of the Championship than he would've been for East Fife at the bottom of League One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The lack of signings is frustrating, but everyone else, pretty much, is in the same boat. Players will be holding out for the best deal. Would be nice to get it all sorted by League Cup campaign, but looks like that won't happen. The League Cup is probably going to just have to be shelved this season. I'll start to actually worry if we're in the same situation by the first game of the league season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Noticed the DR yesterday had Ayr as another team linked with Kennedy. Be good if he went there, avoids us having to sign him and also the chance that Falkirk sign him and he turns out to be good... Pretty understanding of the situation regarding transfers this season. We've got a decent sized squad with some players on bigger money that in an ideal world wouldn't be here, new manager and we have fallen further down the food chain so it's going to take time. Fortunately we did get two good deals done early with Benedictus and Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll surely be fine for the League Cup. Would expect us to be beating East Fife, Buckie and Alloa, with Alloa being the toughest game (but also the last, so potentially new players could be available). We'll almost certainly take a pumping next weekend, but as long as we play well then I won't be too bothered by a team two levels above us beating us. 8 minutes ago, parsforlife said: Eh? 16 that could possibly be called first team players, the majority without even 50 appearances to their name at first team football.

That includes the kids just signed up. The website may call them first team players, I certainly won’t.

Chubbychops Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) In bygone days the youth team were a seperate thing to your first team squad list. It gives a false impression that we have a decent sized squad by adding 5-6 16 year olds in there. I'm guessing we have a reserve/youth team that will accommodate these players. You can see instantly that the 16 year olds a nowhere near ready to being in contention for first team football. They a stick thin, they will get battered across the park in league 1.

Squad would be what most people would call the group of players who will be playing first team matches. In the same way when someone says coaching staff they mean those that will make the tactics for first team matches etc and aren’t referring to the u13s manager.

I've not seen the SPFL announce a resumption of the reserve league and with 3 teams sending their kids to the lowland leagues it might just be informal bounce games for anyone with enough players to merit such games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
