There are clubs in this division who don't sign English loanees because they can't afford to put them up in digs, so whatever the reasons for this failure of recruitment it isn't financial. How much of the recruitment ultimately being shite is the board's fault for involvement of backroom staff in recruitment compared to McPake I have no idea. On the biggest squad, yeah it's been enforced by the injuries, but I would put Dunfermline's first team squad now at 24 with the addition of Welch-Hayes since I made that post, going by the previous standard of not include the likes of the Sutherlands, Tod or Fenton: Mehmet, Little (2nd choice keepers count), Comrie, Edwards, Benedictus, Otoo, Brent, Fisher, Benjamin, Fagan-Walcott, Welch-Hayes, Hamilton, Ritchie-Hosler, Chalmers, Todd, Summers, Allan, Wighton, McCann, Moffat, O'Halloran, Jakubiak, Kane, Holmes Fair enough on our squad size, at least 8 have been long term injured and 5 more out for 4 weeks + To say meagle is background staff seems mental, he is the main man of the company who hold de facto ownership and has quoted to want sign off on every single player in or out, he’s phones the manager weekly and turns up every month or so(rarely at game tho ) he’s not a a minor player in our recruitment in the slightest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over Par Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Kane Mehmet Todd Comrie all injured long term while training. All tackles. Makes you wonder does it no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Why is Meggle not being at games suddenly an issue? Rhetorical by the way. I know exactly why, that being because we're losing. Didn't see a single comment about him not attending last season or earlier this season when we were doing OK. Would him being at games somehow improve the team? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more importantly it’s harder to get the feel of the atmosphere, fans feelings etc. now maybe that shouldn’t matter but certainly from optics it does also Comrie confirmed to be out for the season Edited February 23 by parsforlife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Ok. I’ve been critical of McPake and the club lately. Time for some praise when it’s due. McPake got the team and tactics right tonight. System looked really weird early on, with McCann and Holmes coming so deep when we didn’t have the ball and the full backs playing so narrow. But it worked and, for that, McPake deserves some credit. We got a bit of luck, yes. But I think we earned that luck. Todd looked like the same player we all thought he was. Brilliant goal from him. If we can keep him fit, we’ll have a goal threat again. Jakubiak was also a handful for Thistle’s defence - bringing him on once we had the lead was a great tactical move. MFW looks a very good CB. Edwards looked back to his best, back in his LB role. Allan and Otoo in the middle worked fine, with Otoo putting in a great shift. Forgot how good he is in midfield. Hamilton is just a brilliant player to have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Not getting carried away, it’ll still be a tough final 12 games. But it’s good to finally get that win - and against one of the better sides (who have comfortably beaten us twice earlier in the season). There are players in there that can help us get results and we need to keep the likes of Todd fit and get others (Bene, Fisher, Breen) back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye disallowed goal then efe ambrose mk2 scoring within a few minutes of each is not luck at all and did not turn the tide in the game at all... Todd really does seem a player and he should make you some money if he can keep himself fit, mcpake isn't going to, so he has to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck nothing to do with dominating that second half before and after that disallowed goal. Benjamin had a good game. What has luck got to do with that you obsessed Raith weirdo?
