A real shame. Reckon Gats would have stayed if offered a deal. Not sure about Ricky and Mikey. JMac needs to bring in some decent replacements or it could get ugly for him very quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What position, style of play etc I would say he is absolutely a number 10 inbetween forward and midfield - not really a striker not really a central midfielder - could do good job as an 8 if it’s three in the middle but far too rogue to just sit in a 2 he’s all action Gets about the park, never stops working, capable of a screamer and pretty solid all round player with a physical presence. Takes a good set piece. Great guy to have on your team Edited May 5 by 1320Lichtie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him, bad start in the league cup and the knifes will be out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure we are well passed the ‘it could get ugly for him’ stage - but we have already got an incredible replacement for McKenna in one of the top 2 positions on the park. I think time probably right to look to getting a new keeper in and centre half in - we should have a bit of leeway with the replacement for Ricky with Steele, ToB and Hamilton being a very solid start to the defence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 If TOB and Hamilton are fit they could be a great partnership. Not one to normally care too much about league cup games but I think it's important this year to get some positive momentum and get the fans on board a bit. Could help with season tickets also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToB and Hamilton both fit and after a pre season (fingers crossed) is an excellent centre back pairing - I think Hamilton may end up at left back though and we will sign a centre half. Checked back and 25th May is when we got our squad update at the end of last season. So would imagine a pre contract or 2 announcement before then and an update around that time Thank f**k that season is officially in the history books. What a strange, mental and ridiculous season it was. Edited May 5 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad as best PT club in Scotland for years…. To be honest we should never have been in this situation if we wanted McKenna and Gaston past this season. Letting their contracts to get into the last year was a bad idea and they have chosen to leave rather than stay. Their contracts should have been extended last summer but they were not. As far as i know Gaston was offered a deal to stay. But not as number 1 keeper as McIntyre is wanting a younger keeper to take on the role but have an experienced keeper to challenge for the role. Gaston didnt want to be 2nd choice. Now Gaston is an excellent keeper but he is slowing. Certainly not as agile as before so i can see why McIntyre wants a replacement. Had to happen at some point but at least 1 year too early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gats has saved us on so many occasions over the last few seasons, has been MoM in so many matches, so it is understandable that he would like to continue as our number 1. Goalkeepers can go on well beyond outfield players ages and his experience would have been a great asset going forward. He has gone though and I wish him all the best for the future wherever it takes him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I think any time we played one of those "modern" tippy tappy teams who were being forced by their manager to pass it around their box. Always good to see them passing from the goalkeeper to the centre back, then to the full back, back to the centre back, back to the full back on the edge of his box, only for him to look up and see Nouble, Dowds and McKenna bearing down on him at full pelt. That Adams goal (obviously), that's one of the best football things I've seen, Hilson getting the winner against Queen's Park last season, seeing Gayfield with 6000 people in it for a league match, oh, and the Scott Fox game when he kicked the ball out of play something like 13 times! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
