The Toun Clock Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 12 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: They've signed 5 players so far and have said they're trying to sign more. We have, and that’s great. Three promising talents that we had on loan - great start. Next one player that’s not kicked a ball because he’s not fit enough then goalie and only because we had to due to injury - not so great. The squad is still miles off in terms of numbers of where it should be at this stage, and then you’d like to add one or two towards end of window/loan window. Whereas we’re like a guy who needs to do all his Christmas shopping by heading into town centre at 3pm on Christmas Eve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obiwanyouknowme Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 More I think about it, if we have offered Wotherspoon a contract and he is mulling it over in hope of another offer elsewhere. Get him in the bin. Canny believe it’s nearly 8pm and nothing - sleep walking into a storm. Get beat tomorrow and the board will have questions to answer as the next 2 games against United and Raith could leave bottom with 0 out of 9 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigi Alabocheré Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Why have we been flirting with David Wotherspoon all summer? Bored of it. Going into the first game of the season with a piss thin squad like this is bonkers. This is annoying my peace as a 30 year old adult. Away to pick up the dug shite in the garden. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Away from signing talk. I'm trying to think how we will lineup for today and who will play. I think the 3-4-3 that we have played in pre-season. 3-5-2 as another option but there no Matty Todd to play AM and we haven't signed any back up after Mochrie went back to United. Perhaps Andy Tod could do that role. Sharp Fisher Benedictus Otoo Comrie Hamilton Chalmers Edwards Tod Wighton McCann Subs----Little, Breen, Allan, T.Sutherland, Hoggan, O'Halloran 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no faith that O'Halloran will be fit. Edited August 5, 2023 by VinnyPar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 9 at the back, hoof it at the corner flag for McCann to run onto and cut back for Wighton. Revert to 10 at the back and hoof it at corner flag until full time. Think we still have the players to win ugly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could argue that most teams in our league have thin squads with the exception of Dundee United and maybe Partick? Seems to be the way of most championship teams that they don't have a full squad until the end of the transfer window and other teams decode whi is going out on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry we have a few injuries to key players so we have managed to get Kenny Black and Paul Jack back for a game, let's hope they have had enough sleep, I hear they were up all night sharpening their boots sorry that should be polishing.. interesting day beckons..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton or Otoo perhaps instead of Allan, or Otoo instead of Breen being our only other options realistically. Hoping O'Halloran is fit enough at least for the bench otherwise we're relying on Sutherland being a difference maker if we need to change things up. Edited August 5, 2023 by Salvo Montalbano Putting McCann and Tod on the correct side, as well as Breen and Fisher! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say I think that's what we should play, but that's how I think we'll line up. McPake seems to prefer Hamilton when we're likely to see less of the ball where he'll be a disruptor. He'll be very important at Tannadice for example. I think when we're at home and expecting to have more possession he likes Allan as - rightly or wrongly - he sees him ad a Chalmers type who can keep the ball moving. I like Hamilton but passing isn't his strongest attribute, is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
