lambsyy333 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 thought the team done well tonight , the trialist keeper was very good and would be a great addition to the squad. our usual mistakes at the back cost us a couple of goals . our goal was well worked and a good finish by kirky.... up front fleming was doing a lot of good work tracking back and breaking up some Hamilton attacks and playing some good passes, nishy was nishy . our midfield in the first have done well with ct winning most of his tackles . gils doing a lot of running and covered well.............the second half saw some trialists , nishy was replaced and when archie campell came on he looked lively and would be very usefull in the squad....3-1 Hamilton was perhaps not a fair result ..........look forward to another good test on sat against thistle......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sounds like a good run out for us. Is Craig Sutherland the one we were trying to get a couple of years ago and he ended up signing for Blackpool after being on trial at loads of Scottish lower league teams? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Sounds like a good run out for us. Is Craig Sutherland the one we were trying to get a couple of years ago and he ended up signing for Blackpool after being on trial at loads of Scottish lower league teams? Believe so. He bagged goals against Alloa and Thistle in pre-season friendlies a few years back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'd rather we got Campbell than Sutherland but hopefully we'll get a look at both on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Lets just hope that with Sutherland and Campbell on trial we'll sign one of them over Donnelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that originally but having just looked at Sutherland's career, you've got to wonder if Donnelly would be a better shout. I had no idea he'd played so little down south, 7 appearances for Blackpool in two years, 9 for Plymouth, 0 for Woking and 2 at Queens Park (if wikipedia is to be believed), scoring 1 goal in the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to him he suffered a serious injury at Blackpool pretty early on so that may have set him back. Do agree though, we don't really have much to judge him on. Would much rather Campbell out of the 3, can't see us taking on 2 or all 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he had a bad injury at Blackpool that stuck him out for about a year, obviously it isn't great but then he also clearly hasn't settled at a club yet. I think that whoever signs him on a season long deal will see the best of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdriefan100 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Danny Rogers was on loan at Airdrie for a bit last season, was very impressive and could probably do a job for dumbarton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 So Rogers going to be our number 1 then. Truly can't understand why Grindlay signed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Wanted a testimonial? My knowledge of testimonial criteria is poor but I always thought it was 10 consecutive years of service but has he been with us for 10 years over two spells? Even then, I wouldn't think we have room in our budget for 3 first team keepers, even if one is a loan I'd imagine we still need to stump up some cash. I'd heard Grindlay wanted to play more this season so when he signed up it looked like he was happy to fight with Jazz for the jersey, but the next week we have another keeper coming in. I'd hope both keepers were told of our intentions to find another number 1 and if their offers say they will be 2nd and 3rd choice and they're both still happy to sign up then fair enough. I just think it's a bit of a waste, unless we're getting the boy from Aberdeen for absolutely nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Elephant In The Rock Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Making Nish number 9 is Ian Murray's best managerial decision to date. I'd imagine Rodgers will come in and going by last night's performance I'd be happy with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Grindlay perhaps signed as a safety net incase we couldn't get anyone else with a view to loaning him out if we do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Grindlay perhaps signed as a safety net incase we couldn't get anyone else with a view to loaning him out if we do? Having an agreement with one of the 'keepers that they'll be loaned out should we be able to sign someone better would make sense, rather than having 3 senior 'keepers plus Lumsden. It would probably suit the player too as he gets the security of a year's contract and knows he'll get to play one way or the other, either by swapping in and out with us like last season or by dropping out on loan to a lower league team and being their first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
