East Fife is best Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Centre half and a striker in tomorrow and that should be a good base to see where we are after the cup games for loan signings as clubs wont start letting players go out on loan till after then once they no where there squads are at 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Why another centre half in, we already had two and we just signed another one in today??? Edited July 12, 2017 by King Kebab 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie36nilhello Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Congratulations, Craig Watson is a great signing. He was very good when was on loan to us, best of luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-zero Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Congratulations, Craig Watson is a great signing. He was very good when was on loan to us, best of luck to him. Where did he play when he was at Arbroath? I think I seem to remember him playing right back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly need cover at central defence because for a start Pagey is out until August and Kane, although I like him in centre defence, is at times liable to mistime a tackle and see red. There were a couple of times last season I thought he got off with iffy tackles. Pagey also clocked up quite a few yellows so in case of suspensions or injuries, we certainly need more than 2 central defenders. p 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Watson signed is one but so surely 3 is enough ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammytroot Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 21 hours ago, Efifer said: We don't have a team for the first four games at least, Pagey- unfit, Wilkie- still not fully fit, Kevin Smith- foot operation, Tony Wallace- not fit, Kane- one game suspension, Kieron Miller- two game suspension, still no players signed for Saturday, doesn't look good. With regard to the suspensions of Miller and Kane, are they not for league games as opposed to cup games.? in other words they could play against Peterhead. Similarly I noticed that Rory Mcallister is suspended for 2 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I don't think 6 defenders in the squad is excessive. With 5 it only takes 2 injuries and/or suspensions before you're pulling in players from elsewhere to fill in. If we're going with a squad of 18, 2 keepers, 6 defenders, 7 midfielders and 3 forwards sounds about right, if we're going to playing some kind of 4-5-1 most of the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crawfordsbarmyarmy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Love how people are saying we got too many centre defenders, maybe the gaffer is go play 3-5-2 or the fact most are versatile is a bonus to us Kane can play various positions the new lad Watson can play various positions just hope we get page a partner for most of the season tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Page does need a partner so a centre back was crucial as we need someone to fill the gap left from Jason Kerr weather Watson, Kane is the answer or not it's nice to have options for places elsewhere in the team but I would add another forward player and the squad there or thereabouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like our manager has a lot of options at his disposal... I'm already impressed since when last season started with GN struggling to come up with 3 playable subs ...everyone's entitled to their opinions but they should look at the big picture as Sir Scott Young stated the club is in great shape on and off the 3G pitch , I'd rather have a solid platform to eventually get to D1 than be slap and dash at it like certain teams and when they get up there they are Struggling ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoAmI Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Note that East Fife have tweeted that all further training sessions will be held behind closed doors and no members of the general public will be allowed to watch. Were they getting such high numbers that they became a distraction??? Don't think so. We're spies infiltrating and forming a dossier on tactics. No tactics can be seen in each game??? Seems to be the usual derision to the fans who pay a hefty whack to support their team when allowed to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuggfifer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I watched my first, and now probably last EF training session last week, as it was the first time they had trained on the new pitch, and was immediately after the meeting explaining all about the new community ethos. Sounds like that was a load of bull already! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdoug1938 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 No team has permanently open training sessions. I think the communication of it all is again the issue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoastfifer Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 How many have we got signed up now? 17,? Wouldn't expect too many more other than loans now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like that was a load of bull already! Smuggfifer, it has nothing to do with community spirit! The club has never stopped anyone attending any training session before & anyone wishing to watch has always been welcome. The only access to the stadium on training nights (at the moment) is through the players tunnel & if a lot of people turn up that could lead to security issues for the dressing rooms. The main issue though is that SOME people who turn up, ask questions & are given information in confidence just can't wait to anonymously post on this & other forums. The club has made it quite clear that they only make signings public once terms have been agreed with the player or in the majority of cases once SPFL clearance has been received. Unfortunately, as always, the actions of a few has spoiled it for the many! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Fife is best Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hopefully we can get some news of a striker signing tonight to take some pressure of Duggan as our fit striker just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
