Rob1885 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm hoping more will be made of the fact that Dece McManus was in talks with Falkirk and sacked them off for the mighty pars. You really do love to see it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Need a GK. Probably OK at the back. Out wide we have two cracking wingers now but Lewis McCann is about the only other player in the squad that can play wide(not keen on him there). We certainly need another wide player Central midfield- Turner and Whittaker. I don't rate Turner but he might improve and Whittaker won't play every week imo. Matty Todd is nowhere near first team level yet and will go out on loan I think. I would say we need two central midfielders. Up front we have a good front two. McCann and McGill as youthful back up but for me we need another. I think another 5 signings still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s only to be expected though, just about every other club will be the same. Agreed. It was interesting to see Crawford talk that injury prevention will be a large part of our pre-season program, i suspect he won’t be alone in that thought. There will be an interesting battle stuck between sports scientists who may focus on outright match day fitness and those who look to build their players so they are less likely to pick up injury that’s going to put them out for 6 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray can play central midfield too. 5 sounds mental, but if you include 3 of them as loans then it sounds good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Crawford didn’t dodge the Ohara question and handled it well. Still think it’s a mistake but hope he can win me over, feels wrong even if he was just young at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It’ll be interesting to see O’Hara’s interview. If he gives it the massive club patter and genuinely seems ambitious I’m sure he’ll win a lot of people over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically any player can play anywhere (Westie played upfront once!) but I'm talking about positions where players have at least ability. Agree that central defence is Murray's best position (although he only played a couple of times there for us) but he has shown he can be a central midfielder. Pretty sure he was solid if unspectacular when he played there, plus he scored a couple of times. I like that Crawford's signings often can play multiple positions. He really has an eye for a player for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing some B@lls at the very least knowing full well some fans won't like him for the past misdemeanours , he has a lot of belief for a young lad . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Any player can play any position, doesn't mean they necessarily should, wasn't convinced by Murray at centre mid. He scored away to Morton, despite it being a tap in. When it's likely to be scrappy with a shit pitch he can fill in just in as a midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 So except for an average goalie coming on at some point, no more to be excited about until October. Could have at least spaced out all these announcements.Fucking boring 3 months ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I keep seeing people stating that they want OFW to sign. I can't remember any good games from him and he didn't look commanding for his height. He screwed up the goal against Partick in our last match, so I'm wondering where all the fanboy stuff is coming from? Is it because he painted a picture that made the club money? Must say that being good at art is not a key attribute I look for in a goalkeeper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 He's got as good a resume as you'll get at this level and was solid enough. Darren Jamieson signed for Kelty through the week, one I hoped we would have been looking at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I personally thought Danny Rogers had ''signing for Pars'' written on his forehead when he was released from Aberdeen. Edited July 11, 2020 by Chubbychops 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
