Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Can't say I'd be overly fussed if Lithgow left. Done well for us over the years but there's better out there. I really dont think he's good enough for full time football. McGinn on the other hand is, so absolutely delighted we got him, what a coup! Fair play to him for refusing the deal with St Mirren, seems like a very level headed lad. I'm just gutted we didn't get him on a 2 year deal and could of made some cash out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Cheers for the replies. It seems your second striker is a much more important signing than a centre half then. Could be a huge moment for your lot as to who you get to replace Lister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naught A Chance Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Happy with the signing of McKerracher as well, mentioned on here a few times that he was the player from the reserves that impressed me the most. Very composed on the ball, likes a tackle and gets a few goals as well. Think he was one of the younger ones in the reserve teams as well, look forward to seeing how he progresses.Seen him play centre mid, out wide and up front so not really sure what his best position actually is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elephant In The Rock Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Delighted with the signing of McGinn as he is easily one of the best right backs in the league. I'm sure he would've had offers from other First Division clubs, which shows we are competing with the full time teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son hawk Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Am I the only one that would be happy to see McNiff back in the team? I reckon alongside Graham or Murray he could really come on in the first division. He showed lots of potential when we were promoted from the second division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Really don't think mcniff is good enough for the 1st Div. As much as I've enjoyed the signings we've made so far, my major concerns remains that we're heading towards having the same back 5 as last season. A defence which conceded frequently and heavily. We need a new goalkeeper and centre back at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Are there any decent freebie centre halfs out there that would realistically sign for us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakehandsTom - DFC Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Great news that McGinn has re-signed. He was excellent for us last year, and his over-lapping runs and deliveries from that side were immense. I understand the concerns about our defence looking like largely the same leaky backline from last season, but they're good defenders individually, and I think a good pre-season will benefit them as a unit and in turn make us more resolute. I'll admit I know next to nothing about McKerracher, but the reviews from folks on here who know more about him seem pretty positive, and I can only echo the comments of those who note that it's great for the team and the club as a whole that we're able to promote a number of players from the U19's to the first-team over the last couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccormackwilsongoal Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Great to get both McGinn and Smith signed up,the team is shaping up nicely. Still need another goalie,centre-half and especially a Lister replacement. Still,it looks a lot more encouraging than the start of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 McNiff wasn't ever that great in the second division, done a reasonable job. Don't think he really stood out in the third with Annan either. We're going to need far better than that to survive this season. Wouldn't be against Murray playing there providing he gets fit enough, looking a bit podgy. That being said I'd like to see someone with a wee bit of pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordo1872 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's a great piece of business to get McGinn back on a permanent move. Hopefully he'll build on his form for last season and finally give us a sold right-back. Something we've not had in a while. I'd have us lining up; Grindlay McGinn Graham AN Other Smith Murray Gilhaney Turner Agnew McDougall AN Other If Murray is looking for a good, solid, experienced pro to shore up our midfield and protect the back line he doesn't have far to look. We're short of another goalkeeper, centre-half and striker. I'd also say a right midfielder would be a prudent move if budget allowed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bring me SON shine Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 1.whats Andy Geggan doing next season, would anyone like to see him back? 2. is there a new kit next seaon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWL Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'd imagine Andy will go to a F/T side in the division. That said, I'm impressed that we've been able to sign the likes of Smith and McGinn. I know the club will be hoping for a major increase in funding through league reconstruction but I don't see us splashing too much cash. Given the size of our current support, season tickets sales and player sponsorship will only go so far! Think the kit was a 3 year season job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Really don't think mcniff is good enough for the 1st Div. As much as I've enjoyed the signings we've made so far, my major concerns remains that we're heading towards having the same back 5 as last season. A defence which conceded frequently and heavily. We need a new goalkeeper and centre back at least. Agreed on McNiff, does anyone know if he was any good for Annan? Anyway, I think he'll be loaned out again. I'm not too bothered about a new goalkeeper, I know we need one at least for the bench but I'm quite happy with someone as back-up to Grindlay. I think if we can sort out what's in front of him then we'll be fine and sorting out what's in front of him doesn't just depend on getting another good centre half. As stated earlier, Gils and MacDougall will need to put in the shifts they were putting in last year but as we seen with MacDougall, it takes its toll. This is why I thought moving to a slightly more protective formation would help us (not dissimilar to Jordo's line up above). Having two sitting midfielders in Turner and another (Murray) allows Gilhaney, MacDougall and Agnew to get up in support of the striker and takes a bit of pressure off them covering the full backs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Why? What has he done to deserve so much criticism? Apart from being one-paced, ultra one-footed, repeatedly caught out by balls over the top and (like James Creaney) having the rare ability of allowing the attacker to charge down his clearance 96.4% of the time, nothing really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Have to agree with what's been said on here,McNiff is not a first division player. If Lithgow goes elsewhere I'm pretty confident we could get a replacement who would be better than McNiff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
