They were far too quiet second half, with a lad over the left hand side trying to start multiple songs outsinging them throughout the game. That seems really over dramatic. The atmosphere throughout the first half was decent, it tailed off though in the second with the game tailing off. I dread to think the pep talk you're giving the Falkirk thread! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was really odd was all the players families were in that section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Some of the #content coming out the club from yesterday is great that video of the end of the game shows how loud it was. Brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Under contract - Max Little Kyle Benedictus Josh Edwards Miller Fenton Jake Rennie Chris Hamilton Paul Allan Joe Chalmers Micheal Beagley Matty Todd Lewis McCann Taylor Sutherland Andrew Tod Sam Young Liam Hoggan Jake Rennie Out of contract - Deniz Mehmet Aaron Comrie Rhys Breen Kyle MacDonald Paul McGowan (think he's here on loan though) Kevin O'Hara Craig Wighton Nikolay Todorov I would offer terms to Mehmet, Wighton, Breen and one of MacDonald or Comrie. Unsure about McGowan I think he could be useful but not sure if he has the legs to last a season and with a tight budget probably best to maximize wages. I wouldn't be against Todorov staying but feel better options could be out there also think Sutherland could add depth to the striking department, he's looked decent in the reserve games against some reasonable defenders, McGregor at Hibs for instance but he could probably do with a 6 month loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoo61 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 For me: Mehmet - but massively reduced from what was reported Comrie MacDonald Breen Wighton O Hara will score goals against us if he leaves but he's not really in the running. I like Todorov but his pace pains me. Hold McGowan hostage so the Dundee fans deliver us Fisher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if we stick with 3 at the back then imo we need 4 decent CB options, I wouldn't be that happy with Comrie, Kerr, MacDonald or Edwards having to have a spell in the back line if we are going to be aiming for promotion next year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I’m not claiming to be ITK agent, but there has been rumours that McPake is trying to get Fisher on a pre-contract. Hardly a shock given he is out of contract and has worked closely with McPake for many a year. Not sure about Murray though. Think there were rumours about him during the January window. As much as I think Breen has improved and can offer a lot, he has got to be the most injury-prone player we have had in my lifetime. It’s maybe not worth the money if he is going to keep breaking down, especially if Murray and Fisher are indeed genuine options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I’d expect/hope we’ve offered deals to Comrie, Wighton and Breen. We need to strengthen for next season, so if players have struggled for game time this season, I can’t imagine they’re part of the plans for next season. Only possible exception would be Todorov, who I think would be more useful in the championship, where teams are less likely to sit in against us. He’s also scored massive goals for us this season. I think he’s our best striker. But it all depends on what McPake thinks of him and who else is available. Kind of in two minds about Mehmet. Would be fine with him staying, but wouldn’t be bothered if he left. Think clean sheets are largely due to the defenders. Don’t think he’s been fantastic or made saves you wouldn’t expect of a keeper. He’s not good at dealing with shots from anywhere between 15-25 yards out and he’s bad for parrying the ball back into the danger area (see second goal on Saturday) as an example. Kind of surprised we haven’t heard about a Comrie extension. He must be our longest serving player (other than youth products), seems happy and McPake seems to rate him - sure he said he tried to sign him for Dundee. He’s also proven at championship level, so would seem a no-brainer to keep him. Unless he has a better offer from elsewhere… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be very young. We only released Lewis Martin last summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Not sure we'll be too difficult to deal with in regards to Fisher. Down the pecking order at Dens to the point we're playing a right winger/central midfielder at RB ahead of him and he's not even in the conversation at CH as he's a bit too slight. Do think we'll chuck him a token offer of a new deal though so you'll need to pay compensation though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd release the keeper who has broken a clean sheet record at the club? And a mainstay in that same defence? Interesting. For me everyone is worth a deal bar O'Hara and Todorov (although wouldn't be the worst idea to give him a year as a squad player, has scored some very important goals off the bench).

DAFC. Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Also, I think Comrie, MacDonald, and O’Hara have run their course. Todorov just isn’t good enough either. We’ll need much better for next season if we are serious about putting a challenge in. What we have got might be ok to get mid-table obscurity, at best. We will probably stick with a back 3, and I’m not comfortable with Comrie being one of the CH options. IMO Breen will get a move down to England, so that will mean we’ll need 3 centre halves, a couple strikers, right-wing back, and a better midfield option than Chalmers (who will not be good enough in the Championship)*. *Before anyone starts, he has had a good season but is not any more than mid-low level Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a right sided centre half in a back 3 a lot of the time with us or centre back in a back four. I wouldn't have described him as slight to be honest but maybe that's in comparison to what you have. I think it sounds like a good move for all parties if he moves to us in the summer. I think he will get plenty chances to devlop with us too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
