What's your point he would be an absolutely sensational signing if we can get it over the line in the next day or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitbowl Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 What's your point he would be an absolutely sensational signing if we can get it over the line in the next day or so. Yea and he seemed to enjoy the games at the Recs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlloaAdam Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Taggart and McDowall re-sign, craig malcolm comes in from stranraer, happy with that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 So Taggart and McD signed for next season and Craig Malcolm has signed. I always liked Malcolm but he hasn't been as prolific in the past couple of seasons. A nice option to have though, hopefully recapture his form again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KierenAAFC Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 18 goals in all competitions this season for Malcolm, seems decent. Can't mind him to be honest. Hopefully not a replacement for Spence. Delighted about Taggs though! Cracking signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Stranraer after one season but seemed to have lost a wee bit of the edge he used to have. That's only from games against Alloa though, obviously haven't seen him week in week out. His record in front of goal is still fairly decent to be fair to him. On the surface, a good supplementary option to battle for a starting berth or play in a 2. If we are relying on him to bang in the goals every week, a gamble. Edited May 31, 2017 by Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Swapping Longworth for Malcolm seems like good business for us, things starting to take shape within the squad now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkwasp Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Least mcd deserves, never put a foot wrong when called upon.Delighted taggs has signed, i'm sure he would have had other offers, hopefully he can recapture his form at the tail end of the season.Dont know much about craig malcolm, but to be fair to him he has a good scoring record & hes only 30. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickmoorejnr Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Malky scored 104 goals in 238 games for us. Very good servant to the club and nobody can fault his effort he puts into games. All the best to him from myself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 He's not good enough, if he's your main striker then you'll not a threat next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Malcolm sounds like a great signing if we can keep Spence. We struggled when Greig was having an off day last season; we were crying out for someone to share the burden, and reliable goalscorers seem hard to find these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A guy who has been a fine lower league striker for years coming to Alloa from Stranraer to try and regain past form. What can go wrong? Really happy with Taggart re-signing. I know there were some concerns that his roving runs could at times leave us a bit exposed, but that was a price worth paying (IMO) for what he brings going forward. Two beautiful crosses into the box in the play-off final second leg. We again have two excellent full-backs. Also happy with Craig McDowell, safe pair of hands as cover for Parry. I wanted us to sign Malcolm a few years and I think we might well have been in for him previously. Hopefully he can get off to a decent start - I think that worked against Jamma at Alloa - and prove to be a good option. Welcome to the club, Craig. Fair play to the manager, he has got a good core signed up already. Always a concern when you lose good players immediately after the season ends that others will be minded to follow. Retaining key men and adding the likes of Meggatt early on sends out a signal that we intend to challenge. Clearly attack the area that still needs obvious strengthening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 There's clearly something about Malcolm given how much he has scored but I thought he was truly woeful at Ayr. His first touch was an utter abomination, his shooting not really any better and the less said about his inability to understand the offside rule the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weecountywaspie Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Always rated Malcolm good around forward think we need 2 more strikers my feelings are Spence will go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Swapping Longworth for Malcolm seems like good business for us, things starting to take shape within the squad now. Longworth was scoring 10+ goals for a couple of years for Stranraer before he joined you.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
