Stevie overspent the budget last season, it is therefore cut this season. Simmer right down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The only thing that article says to me is that we're finding it hard to find the right players (which we need as our budget is smaller). Taking a look at Ayr or Morton's thread and it would seem they have much the same problem. Everyone is looking for a striker outside of Hibs and Falkirk, of course we're going to find it tough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverton End Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 2 hours ago, Sonsteam of 08 said: David Smith looks like a massive improvement on Kevin Cawley never mind Heffernan (who I had actually completely forgotten about!) Obviously it's far too early to judge anyone, but I'd agree our starting lineup this season looks slightly stronger than it did last year. Edit: That got me thinking about our bench on our first 'proper' game last year. It was: Nathan Adger, Andy Graham, Darren Miller, Donald McCallum, Gordon Smith, Mikey Hopkins. That's not a strong bench at all either. I'm therefore totally relaxed about our current bench. Stick a T before Adger please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Barring a couple of howlers Steven Saunders was actually a very good defender and proved useful at scoring goals against Raith. He wasn't one for hitting bylines and floating in dreamy crosses but in the end it mattered little. It was unfortunate we couldn't hold onto him. Talk of insolvency events isn't helpful - back it up or just accept the budget realignment. And if I was a Stranraer fan I'd be seriously concerned about overspending, given their ropey past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Morton will be feeling the squeeze as well. Last year they had 4 guaranteed full houses in a much bigger stadium than ours, this year they are only guaranteed 2 (st Mirren) everyone wants a striker that can score and at the minute it looks like we have one.....well a handsome one at least. Let's not chat like we're down just yet. Seems like some of the ppl that were slating Stevie from January last year have just continued into this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Exactly, the only people Morton have signed over the summer is Michael Doyle and our receptionist. Signing the right players doesn't come easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realise that, I thought Oliver had signed somewhere else actually. Point stands though, everyone is finding it hard to get the right players in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, this time last year I was elated that we seemed to have signed a keeper who would put to bed the great keeper debate that had raged across this forum for some 3 years. Ewings looked to be consigned to the bench forever. One year on and we're praying for his involvement because: 1. He's actually pretty good, and 2. The alternative is too hideous to contemplate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
