Lichtie78 Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Little, Hester and Gold signed up for next season. Good to see Little and Hester signed up but I'm utterly bemused at Gold being offered a new deal. Lowdon away off to Clyde which is a bit disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiekev Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I still think it's a sick sick joke and refuse to believe it, Agreed thank f**k that's the season over, was terrible viewing today, more I thought about it the more I think it was shite only 3 boys made effort to come over at the end, and the 3 that did look likely to be away, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquerader Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 He's from Edinburgh I'm sure He's mates with Heart's Sam Nicholson I'm sure. I saw Sam at the Stirling away game, where we lost, not for the last time, against 10 men FFS! David Gold has been dreadful all season. I can only think that Dick believes he has an unpolished gem somewhere deep down? Can't make any bloody sense of this one at all. Bewildering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHM Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Gold might surprise us next season,look at Lowden last season.Very happy if Little has signed up again,gives us 3 very good players at this level to build on with Linn and Whatley,and young Hester upfront hopefully to get better with some decent strikers around him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't get the hate for Gold at all to be honest. Might be a different story next season when he's actually playing in a half decent team. Does a job and will be a good squad player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonLichtie Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Don't get the hate for Gold at all to be honest. Might be a different story next season when he's actually playing in a half decent team. Does a job and will be a good squad player. Flemings a bombscare. Get him to f**k. Absolutely amazed anyone could be happy to keep David Gold and happy for Flem to leave based on the 40 odd games we've played this season. Allan Fleming was superb for us up until Dick came in, while David Gold has done absolutely nothing whatsoever. I fully understand Dick's decision to let Flem go though, as he can only judge players on what he's seen since he came to the club, and Flem has made several costly mistakes. Still, I'm disappointed to see him go. As I've said before, I don't like to criticise our own players, but I have absolutely no idea what David Gold's role in our team next year will be. He isn't a defensive midfielder. He isn't a creative midfielder. He isn't the sort of player to break things up and put a challenge in. He isn't a goalscoring midfielder. Essentially he is a midfielder who doesn't add anything defensively or attacking wise. What has David Gold added to the team this season? What would we miss if we hadn't signed him up for next year? What job does he do? I'm very happy we've managed to get Ricky sorted for next year, and glad Kane has been given a new deal to continue to progress. It was very surprisingly to see Josh Skelly, a player who almost certainly won't be at Gayfield next year, starting yesterday while Kane who definitely will be with us on the bench. In terms of the players leaving, in all honesty I couldn't care less outside of Flem, Ricky, Lowdon, Linn, Whatley and Hester. It's a shame Lowdon has signed for Clyde, and I'm disappointed but understand Flem not being offered a new deal and obviously happy the other four are signed. If Mark Williams is available I would be interested in keeping him also. Outside of those seven, I don't think there's any argument whatsoever for keeping any of the others if we wan't to be above our current position next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I've already said why I'm not overly bothered Flemings going and I'm not happy about gold signing on but I'm not disappointed either. Seems to take stick for no real apparent reason from some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 I feel sorry for Fleming, because he's saved us from a few hidings this season. But he's also made some bad mistakes, and has been in terrible form since Campbell came in. If there was one game to sum Fleming up it would be the recent game at home to East Fife. Costly mistake to give them the goal, but then made a number of good saves to keep the scoreline down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I personally feel we have regressed as a side since Dick has been appointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
