Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 That is the cringiest hashtag ever associated with a football club. You can add the astronomically cringey tweet begging for RTs to show Jack Ross how much fans love him and want him to stay to the cringe list.Also worth adding #marchingintogether. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I actually don't view Stewart as a loss in the slightest. I'm looking forward to someone else getting a shot in his position, someone who may be able to contribute more than absolutely f**k all. My choice would be Seagal, who is never a winger IMO.Obviously a major issue is our severe lack of forwards but hopefully this will highlight that issue and a move can be made for someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're best as a team in a 4-2-3-1, and that's lead to him being shoehorned into positions where he doesn't look comfortable. The Prince up top, Handling, Roy and one of Johnston or Walsh on the other side will have a far better shape to it than a side with him on the wing. Then stick the SeaGal up top when The Prince is done. #Sonsteamof08TacticalGenius 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We need someone to play off Nade.Surely we have the bodies to go 4-2-3-1?Nade up front.Ally Roy wide left, Handling or Wilson in the middle and Walsh or Gal wide right.Means we can play Barr and Carswell as holding midfielders and Hill at centre half. By having 2 defensive midfielders we try to keep it solid at the back but don't lose an attacking threat by playing 3 attacking midfielders in front of them. Plus it's 3 players who will do a bit of running for Nade rather than expecting him to do it all.When were under pressure it becomes a more solid 5 man midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gallacher Sam Wardrop Andy Dowie Dougie Hill Chris Mclaughlin Craig Barr Stuart Carswell Johnston/Walsh Danny Handling Ally Roy Christian Nade Would be our strongest team imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 That should be the team on Saturday if everyone's fit. Walsh over Johnston for me every day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonTheSons Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Mark Stewart out for the next 3-4 weeks with a broken elbow sustained on Saturday. I think it's a blow in that it depletes our already thin squad. It was obvious on Saturday that he was struggling with it when he was running. He was deliberately keeping that arm rigid and had obviously injured it. Seagall looks the most likely option. You could see/hear when Mark Stewart's obviously done that on Saturday, I'm not sure it was wise to let him play out the 90 minutes. The news just gets more depressing each week with the club at the moment. I actually don't view Stewart as a loss in the slightest. I'm looking forward to someone else getting a shot in his position, someone who may be able to contribute more than absolutely f**k all. My choice would be Seagal, who is never a winger IMO.Obviously a major issue is our severe lack of forwards but hopefully this will highlight that issue and a move can be made for someone. I really hope it isn't SeaGal. Based on what I've seen so far he offers very little, and that's generous. I'm still slightly haunted by his offering as a striker on our last visit to Ayr last season. He's not a striker and from what I've seen he struggles in wide midfield as well. I actually agree. The thing is he's best up front in a 2. We're best as a team in a 4-2-3-1, and that's lead to him being shoehorned into positions where he doesn't look comfortable. The Prince up top, Handling, Roy and one of Johnston or Walsh on the other side will have a far better shape to it than a side with him on the wing.

I'm in total agreement with that side. I'd have Walsh over Johnston from what I've seen so far, and it's a decent starting eleven. It's when we start getting injuries and having to replace Nade after an hour in games that it starts getting a bit hairy and short of quality replacements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 You look at those attacking options and sort of wince a bit. Either the current crop will have to pull an Andy Stirling and improve dramatically as the season progresses or we need new faces. It's that or no goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the current crop will have to pull an Andy Stirling and improve dramatically as the season progresses or we need new faces. It's that or no goals. Let's hope it's the former and there's a bit of improvement.For me, Mark Stewart gives his all but it's not remotely worked so far when he's up there on his own with no support.Nade and Roy are our best attacking options with Roy having looked really impressive so far when given the chance.But after that it's really slim pickings. I've seen nothing in SeaGal to suggest there's a potent attacker there and him aside there's really no other option, it'd be a very square peg in a very round hole.I'm really hopeful that Stevie does have a deal still to be done in the form of a striker on loan, in spite of what he's stated publicly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 What's the deal with loan signings? Do we pay their full wages or a percentage? We're a great stepping stone for a young player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a great stepping stone for a young player. As far as I'm aware we pay as much as we can towards their wage. We are effectively paying as much for a loan as any other signing and I guess at times even more. I've even heard of clubs wanting a fee for a loan player in recent times but I'm not 100% sure how accurate that info is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a great stepping stone for a young player. Pretty much whatever the clubs agree I'm sure. If the club are desperate for a player to go on loan to a team they could essentially still pay their wage and send them out. But I'd imagine it will be somewhere in the middle. Varying quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Need a CM? Chris Millar has been told he can leave us, via transfer or loan. Could likely still do a job in the top flight tbh, but his injury history is a bit sketchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
