The Moonster Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Just now, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: Oh aye, we’ll 100% replace Crighton, but even after we do our backup option when Durnan inevitably has a spell on the sidelines will be a square peg in a round hole. The best option will most likely be Shiels but that will involve weakening us in another area of the pitch. Instead of signing Cammy Clarke for example I’d much rather we had signed a dedicated centre back. I'm fine with Clark being here but there's absolutely no need for both Div Wilson and Ryan Blair in the squad. I'd have probably moved Wilson on for better defensive cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that would be the ideal scenario but I’m not sure how easy that is when we’re chucking guys like that 2 year deals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of signing Cammy Clarke for example I’d much rather we had signed a dedicated centre back. Is Mikey Miller not that 3rd natural CB option? Haven’t seen much of him the last few years but always thought he was equally capable at CB as he was in midfield. That gives us Durnan, new CB and Miller with back up options of Niang, Clark, Shiels and Lynas. Overall, we’ve got a fairly small but versatile squad. My only worry is what happens when guys get injured / suspended and we start shifting bodies around to cover. Type of thing that really disrupts rhythm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that facilitates them should be boycotted by our fans and treated with contempt by our club. I’d take the death of B teams/colts every day of the week over a day in the sun for supporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I thought we took it fairly seriously last year. We put out a strong side against Kelty, missed a stupendous amount of chances and conceded one of the most comical goals I've ever seen us lose. But the performance on the day was really decent. But in terms of priorities it's right at the bottom. Survival, Scottish Cup, League Cup...Large gap. Challenge Cup and Stirlingshire Cup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
