What a dreadful prospect Twitter would be delighted if Anderson was our main frontman. For about 90 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I'd rather keep Cosgrove at least until the end of the season. We probably don't have long enough to get an adequate replacement and he is still the best centre-forward at the club (not saying much, granted). He hasn't been particularly good this season, but he is still better than most of our fans give him credit for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Wilkos Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Selling Cosgrove is only positive if we can replace him. Well said, sir. No point selling him and then starting Main every game. [emoji1785] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it 300k between finishing 3rd and 4th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the tungston weasel Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Not wanting to be a downer but Cosgrove's value is going down every game. Not that I would like him sold without replacement but what is the sort of offers we are getting now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Right then Dons. One boy’s Subbuteo childhood up for sale on eBay. The interesting bit is his hand written notations on each player’s identity. Can anyone nail this down to a specific season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Varga’s there I think it would be 72-73 as he was only at the club for one season I believe. I think that might be Barrie Mitchell who in a grim coincidence the club just announced has died.

Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Was that the season you had a massive unbeaten run that was ended by Hibs? Maybe that was earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmontonDandy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 1970-71 season Hibs ended our 12 consective games without conceding a goal. Pat Stanton in game 13 at Easter Road somewhere around the hour mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 With interest in Cosgrove, Wright and Ojo we might get a couple of players in yet despite McInnes denials. We'd surely replace Cosgrove or Wright if they left. Ojo we could probably blag with McGeouch and Virtanen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 1970-71 season Hibs ended our 12 consective games without conceding a goal. Pat Stanton in game 13 at Easter Road somewhere around the hour mark.Funnily enough, my first instinct was a ridiculous number of games without conceding a goal, and then I thought “nah, must have been an unbeaten run”.Childhood memory of that was a kick about with a few pals talking about it (obviously not clearly remembering it was conceding a goal), and one of our lot saying “with me in that defence they could go the entire season and not lose”. As kids of around 14, it was a joke of course, and while he never hit the highest level, the guy who said it was Peter Godfrey who started late in life with Stenhousemuir, but had a decent career with St Mirren and Falkirk. Believe me, he was fierce to play against even as kids.Right, back to L1 for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're short on both of those types of player with only Main and Anderson as options up front. Not sure who on the bench would replace Wright, McGinn maybe? McLennan? Pretty tough when we're coming up against the end of the window to find replacements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Mitchell's only played the 1972-73 too...It's a few years too early for me, but he seems to have had a solid enough career both at Dunfermline beforehand and Tranmere after although not a prolific striker by any means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its too early for me too and it’s not a name I recognised either to be honest. I had just read the tweet shortly before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another tweet through the night from another journalist who's usually bang on with lower league signings in England. He's said it's close too so there must be some substance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
