sarti pooh Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Having watched Mark Brown over the last season I don't want him anywhere near the first team; indeed at times I've marvelled at his career record. If Martin is as good as reported and Barclay as flakes then we release the latter and have Jazz and Martin vie for the position. Some of the sniping at Jazz is way out of order by the way. Why is it out of order? Because he's hung about for season after season being second choice? Because he stayed to applaud the fans after we got pumped?I just don't think he's good enough to be a number one in our league, and I really don't think Brown is either!Not trying to be out of order and defo not "fishing" just backing aitken's decision to bring in a new keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new faces are welcome but a left back and keeper isn't exactly what I had in mind at the beginning of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think must folk would've agreed with you at this time last year, however (by fluke or whatever if you want to believe that) he was outstanding last season and deserved to start the season as No.1. It's all irrelevant however. He's injured - and will be for a while - and Martin is here to be our No.1 who, on paper and previous form at least, looks like a fantastic signing. 1 hour ago, Rovers1992/1993 said: Lewis Toshney was our player of the year but Cuthbert got the managers' player of the year and the players' player of the year..

pleslie99 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I would suggest maybe a loan from Celtic and or st Johnstone going by previous transfer dealings, hopefully a Chris kanesque style player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Well now that we've had an 8 page goalkeeper debate, we can say with some certainty that we won't be relegated. We've never been relegated in a keeper debate season. Another signing before the weekend would have a lot of us a lot happier, here's hoping #sons24 reveals it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarti pooh Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Deal with it I'm happy we signed a keeper now a centre mid and a forward I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'm a bit late to add this but, I'm extremely jealous that you have signed Alan Martin. A tremendous keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Definitely two required signings, both highly rated, I do hope both start, you only have to look at Brown's penalty attempts at forfar, to see his heart is not in it, and with ewings out, Martin has to start, sparky, although a fans favourite, he has not been brilliant, for me, too many goals we lose down that side, centre half, centre forward, centre mid to come in, but I'd be starting Thomson and mccallum for a while to see how they can link up, looks a promising partnership 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree though that Martin will start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be averse to sticking him in a defensive midfield role where we were always told he was better, with Harvie at LB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 If we're dropping players for the preseason performance then I'd suggest we'll have nobody left to play. Nobody has looked sharp and we don't seem overly confident, I'm not sure dropping players is the right thing to do at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezeboxson Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 To be honest, I don't completely blame Sparky for all the goals conceded down his side. I also think the support from the wingers/midfield hasn't been anywhere near good enough. I think Sparky has been off the pace but it isn't all his fault. Unfortunately it is something we may have to get used to. The way we have been lining up in attack leaves us a little bit exposed, especially on the counter attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
