farflung lichtie Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 It’s a team game and a tad pretentious, aping the big clubs but it’s a trivial preference. And of course maybe not the most efficient use of resources since some players will move on etc. Since we’re on tv this year, maybe they’re also necessary in that regardI remember our school team decades ago received some well worn used strips from AFC. A bit too big for us.... but no names on the back, let alone sponsor branding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it’s a requirement for the championship tho. If we ever go back down to league 1 I hope we would resort to the 1-11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing the number 11 with Linns name on it and Swankie's name on the number 10 brought me a strange sense of satisfaction. Finally their jerseys after they've turned out in them god knows how many timesNot sure why it isn't a requirement throughout all the leagues, imagine it will be in the future 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 From a marketing perspective, squad numbers make more sense. It’s a shame the club don’t have a provision at Gayfield to print as I’m sure longer term that could make more money. But it is what it is, the outlay for a machine will probably be a decent cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we kept the squad numbers with names and i've been totally converted. Bet u will too. Although you'll probably stay up anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Decent enough showing today. Gav impressed in the middle of the park and Spence looked sharp up top. Hopefully Donnelly has only taken a knock and we come through the Montrose friendly unscathed. Then it’s on to the real stuff next Saturday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Spence and doris look sharp in preseason and with 5 goals between them it will do a lot for their confidence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timlichtie Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I thought the boy Wilson did well again. Not an easy game against those quick youngsters. I would hope that Dick might sign him as a back up cb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope that Dick might sign him as a back up cb.Think he will it makes sense. Seems to be good pals with Gold and McKenna. He likes to sign guys like that to keep the dressing room solid. Similar reasons as to why we were wanting Andy Munro back last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone fishing Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Wilson is big strong and maybe a work in progress but agree like the lad Brian to or is Crain the right back but defo worth another look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan3600 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We need a defensive backup who can play left back. We have no cover there. Not another right back. We also need some more star quality in midfield and up front - loans I imagine. But if we’re only going to have a squad of 20 we can’t afford many maybes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
