Howlin' Wilf Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 As I've said before, it may be that ideally a new keeper would be a priority. However is there a better one available at the moment? One of the names I've seen mentioned is Raith's Lee Robinson. I certainly wouldn't see him as an improvement on either Ewings or Grindlay. With Cowden staying up the possibility of Flynn leaving them has diminished. With part time players, geography and jobs are a factor too, as seems to be the case with Linton. I don't know what Grindlay's status is as regards re-signing, but could it be that Murray is having a look around and will revert to him if he can't secure a replacement? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeeping is such a specialist position that there is no need to limit a search to the senior game, and in any case who of us knows much of keepers in Leagues One and Two ? IMO to start next season with the three men from this one would be a dire decision, as it is we have already signed two of them. Let me assure you, there are better goalies out there, it's part of the job to find them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naught A Chance Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Lee Robinson is 100% better than Ewings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Lee Robinson is 100% better than Ewings I wouldn't say 100% but he is definitely better than both last seasons 'keepers imo as is Flynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Robinson, the 'keeper who has spent his whole career playing full-time football, the majority of which played in this division, wouldn't be an improvement on Jamie Ewings who has spent the majority of his career playing with Albion Rovers (with all due respect)? There will be plenty of options out there, even if it's a loan like QoS did last year when they realised they had a donkey between the sticks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Vojáček Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Id like to see us go for young Stefan Mcluskey of Clyde. 14 goals in 64 appearances and he's 24, nah think division 3 is his level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren1872 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 14 goals in 64 appearances and he's 24, nah think division 3 is his level. Was Clydes top scorer and creator despite being a winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 A few Clyde fans in my work chanting Jack Ross as a potentiall Duffy replacement. Could he be tempted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Happy to see the back of Scott Smith. The most frustrating thing is that he doesn't lack ability but his conditioning was absolutely shocking. When we were so short of defenders that Murray would rather play CT at left back than Scott Smith (the only player jersey I'd have a chance of fitting in) then it really was the end for him. I'm less than happy to see McDougall back for pretty much the same reasons: Bags of ability but a terrible attitude. I've seen him turn a game with some great skill (up at Dunfermline season before last when they were fighting relegation) but his attitude and application are poor. Definitely need a proper first choice keeper. I'd have kept Grindlay as back-up before Ewings but neither are good enough to be a first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhereman Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 No, terracing but having thought about it I think the ticket was only a quid in 1971-72. It was indeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Delighted with that! We've got the bones of a cracking team once again. A few quality additions and we can start getting the promotion bus out of the garage. When are the pre-season fixtures likely to be decided and announced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Happy with Lints signing up, thought we might have lost him if the rumours about Raith were true but great to have him back. Squad coming together quickly which can only be a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sons'r'us Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Squad coming together quickly which can only be a good thing. Murray due to go on his holidays soon. 10 days in the east Neuk of Fife. So we'll not hear much when that happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's arranged at our place this year, can't have any of this "nae runnin' waater" pish we got last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
