falkirkwasp Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Well done alloa, connor is exactly what we need. Very impressed with him the last few times i seen him. Seems like we were lucky to get him going by the reportsCant comment on sam, hopefully he can add something though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 6 ft 5 CB, that will do me. And Shields too if it comes off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereismillar Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Quite young but hopefully he will be good enough , going by the reports he seems a good addition. we really needed another defender so its all good .. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 6 ft 5 CB, that will do me.Indeed. We've looked a bit vulnerable from set pieces. Andy Graham has been the only tall player we had in the team, let alone defence. Even Andy doesn't really attack the ball defensively; good in the air though he is.Jim clearly likes a couple if big centre backs as his preference - Frank instead of Jason, McCart instead of Taggs.Connor Shields, if he's confirmed would give us more pace going forwards, a facet Jim G has improved significantly in the last week or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Young centre back supposed to be quite good with the ball at his feet too. At least signings talk can now be put to bed. Still question marks whether the current squad is as strong as the one we ended last season with. However, I'd say the manager has been vindicated in biding his time to get the final few players in and made decent acquisitions rather than panic signings. He's recruited pretty well overall.

The squad at present along with possible addition of young lad from Sunderland is in my opinion a stronger squad than last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Not rushing into panic signings is to be commended. Having to play a number of competitive matches with 12/13 players isn't. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the plan either, the manager has been saying for about 6 weeks that he was hoping to have players in for the next game! Ideally you want to have a few good signings earlier in the summer then add some loans to finish it off. But fair play to him, the squad looks promising and we should be able to be competitive in the months ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't play any competitive games with 12 or 13 players (not sure about the Binos game, but was that competitive? [emoji6])Given the manager clearly feels (correctly IMO) that we need loan quality to be competitive this season, and that such signings can only really be done towards the end of the window, I'm not sure how Goody could have done things any differently or better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggie was the only real option from the bench for the league opener! In a few of those games we had players named as subs who in reality were injured. Got away with it, but not ideal. And to be fair to the manager, I really don't believe he planned for things to be quite as tight. Just need to sort the pitch now and all will be well . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepy Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Listen it was never gonna be easy finding good quality players for us, but going by what’s been said about the players he has brought in I think it’s worked out rather well and time to kick on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it being an 'international' transfer and England getting the last minute loans in across the leagues is holding the deal up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
