DA Baracus Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Another fucking game moved for TV, and it's another decent away trip too. Game against Partick next month is now a Friday night BBC game. Shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldReekie Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 9 minutes ago, CallumPar said: That very much sounds like you’re implying the board/manager might not want to add to the team this window. I’m honestly not sure what else you were trying to say here? When I say they'll want to try and maximise their close-season budget that doesn't mean they'll sign noone. It might mean they'll sign 1 player instead of the 3 or more people seem to expect. It might mean they'll be quite limited in the money they'll want to spend even if they are in the market (which I'm sure they are), which limits what players we can attract. Just for those hard of reading, I started my post with "I think there's an outside chance we sign noone" - an outside chance. I think they'll be looking but if people are expecting a big refresh of this squad, I think they are going to be disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Fucking depressing. You just wonder where the points are going to come from. Surely signing mediocre-ish players as cover as an emergency is better than heading in to crunch matches without players to cover positions!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coyp Is it just a case with you that any spare cash goes in to the academy/training set up and as long as you don’t look like going down they’re happy for the first team to tread water in this division? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem. It's not only the injuries in isolation. It's the moving fit players from their normal position to fit them in another position. We need a bigger pool of players and have done since the start of the season. We're running with too small a squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Would'nt mind knowing how Fisher, McCann, Summers, Otoo and Wighton are shaping up for Saturday. All carrying injuries last Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's the case. However we shed a shitload of cash last year . Not quite Dundee utd esque proportions but a fair bit. We had 2 managers to pay off as well. So we don't have the cash to splash Never mind the board I'll be quite happy to tread water in this division this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game against Partick next month is now a Friday night BBC game. Shite. Each to their own I guess but Thistle isn’t an exciting away day in the slightest. Been there so many times over last few seasons, the stand is shite and we’ll likely lose. Best to just skip the game and have a night out in Glasgow instead. 1 hour ago, McMad said: Anyone that thinks that 6 point gap is enough is deluded. Not only does nobody think that, nobody has said that or anything like it. The injury situation is genuinely a disaster and has been for most of the campaign. Without additional recruits, all that’s going to happen is the few players who are left will be overworked and end up getting muscle injuries of their own. I don’t even think we need to be overly picky at the moment; anyone affordable and better than our youth players needs to at least be considered. We need warm bodies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
