Personally I would just sell the 2,000 tickets to Hearts fans and be done with it. No direct TV bonus as the money from televised games goes into the generally pot I believe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 How you put Linton or Thomson in a team before Slattery is strange It's all about opinions, but I'm playing it safe and am putting all Young's signings in the starting 11 as and when they happen!!! Do you think there is some nefarious reason for this? - there isn't!!! And I wouldn't play Slattery wide anyway!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of that three at the back, but I'll stick to the boring old 442 for the daily squad statements for the moment, also I don't think Davidson is here to sit on the bench, think he's going to be one of our main options now!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yur maw punts cooncil Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Need at least 2 strikers and another goalie, am glad we’ve at least signed some players, bit worried most of them seem defensively minded, agnew, Thomson and smith are the only real attacking players in there, and a don’t feel we can rely on smith as much as we used to. So fingers crossed we can get at least a couple of strikers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Fife is best Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Cant think of any strikers or goalies that are still avaliable and of decent standard so might have to loan route again after betfred cup ties 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBrian Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Doesn't always have to be a known name that comes in, King Kenny was an unknown. The squad is looking promising so far, I'm sure the manager knows who he wants if he can get them to sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am worried cause our only striker is probs not coming back, and now we have none........goals win you games at the end of the day. I am delighted we seem to have signed a few at the back. I shall reserve judgement until I’ve seen them play.....after the whole Ben Gordon thing. But we need a goalie, and a couple of forwards. The only Elgin fan that replied about long said he should be a decent back up.......once again I will judge him when I’ve seen him. With boys like Wilkie away and we no longer have the robinsons of the world...we can’t rely on midfield goals, we need a 20 goal a season man up top, and a decent back up if hes injured 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east fife for life Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Delighted with the signings, Young hasn't fucked about in bringing players in that's for sure! Looking forward to seeing the new players in action whilst wearing that seriously smart as f**k 3rd top! I won't be buying a season ticket as sadly I work shifts, play golf (badly) and wouldn't be worth it. Does anyone know if you can still donate to managers fund and if so, will the money donated go straight to squads wages? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you're a ray of brilliant sunshine aren't you??? This is the best start we've made to a pre season since f**k knows when and you're still trying to rain on the parade, now God knows, I'm not one of the happy clappers that won't take any criticism of the Club whether valid or not , but c'mon man credit where it is due!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
