The Moonster Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Ryan Tierney and Isaac Layne. The only two forwards on the books. Layne has only once hit double figures in his career and it was years ago. McKee, Crossan, Hutton and Carswell have less than 20 career goals between them. McCluskey gets a few, but hasn't hit double figures in a season before AFAIK. We really need to hope Tierney is some sort of revelation or that Duffy injects some Listeritis into Layne, there's just no goals at all in the team. When you look like conceding a laughable amount of goals too, I struggle to be any more optimistic than Jan Vojacek was in the Lennox. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmacDFC Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hopefully Loy leaving (been confirmed now) allows us to bring in a new striker. The hard part is where we find said striker. Anyone got a spare (very long) bed for big Faal?It’s a shame with Loy - really wanted it to work out with him, as I think he did too. Fair play to him for agreeing a settlement. I hope his playing days aren’t completely behind him.It would be great if we were trying to offload a couple of players on loan - Zata/Langan and one of those centre backs would be my preference. There’s not too many players without clubs now, so I’d imagine any arrivals would be on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 19 for Lok in 17-18 and 8 last season having missed the first 4 months of the season.

pleslie99 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 A striker is a must for us but I'd rather we waited a couple weeks and got the right guy rather whether that be a loan deal or permanent. DT last season was different class and scored a Barrowload agreed, but was playing a probably in an attacking mid position. Chris Kane was probably the closest to a prolific striker we have had lately.Having someone to put the ball in the net on a regular basis makes such a difference to a team, something us sons fans havent had the pleasure of seeing too often. What's more irritating is the form of some guys once they leave us after doing not very much. Megginson, Brophy, Nesbit, Roy, Johnston to name a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Megginson was decent for us and wasted out left. Brophy never got a chance cause Aitken didn't fancy him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMusic Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 3 hours ago, The Moonster said: there's just no goals at all in the team. We relied to a significant level on the 20 - 25 yarders from Dom Thomas and Ross Forbes last year. When both left I posted my fears about the lack of goals for the new season only to be told, by one poster in particular, that finding replacements would be easy enough. We're still waiting. Maybe Saturday will show us that we're wrong to get concerned and the 5-0 victory against Raith will include three 30 yard thunderbolts, an Ibrahimovic style overhead kick and a Maradonna style solo goal. It's ok. I've already made an appointment with my GP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGD89 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Dissappointed that it never worked out for Loy. If he was fit and playing under duffy i think he would have been a great addition. But thats that saga over with. Frees up some cash to bring in someone else hopefully.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Duffy should be bagged on the spot for souring this partnership IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Duffy should not be so unprofessional. Complete embarrassment for the club. Are other managers going to read that and think, "f**k I'm no sending players to that clown manager and his circus down there". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megginson was our top scorer in 13/14 and tbh I don't see what Roy has done since he left us. Fair enough about the other three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
