With him well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Decent turnout today at the open training session. If anything it shows the management, players and board that the town is still behind them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him well, decent shot stopper (most of the time) and will hopefully improve with a decent pre season/more games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFC360PUNK1320 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 6 hours ago, 1320Lichtie said: Just need a jobber back up keeper as a number 2 and that’ll be the defence and goalies sorted. 16 players in total whenever back up keeper arrives leaving space for 4/5 of which I hope are Defensive Midfielder Winger Striker / Winger Striker Would imagine a couple of these may be loan signings - also now we’ve got Wilkie and Bisland, two young lads from Dundee - maybe Grady McGrath will become the 3rd as we were linked with him earlier in summer I would deffo take a chance on Grady McGrath as the boy knows where the net is. Started at Dundee FC so must have been decent when he was a youngster then scored loads f goals at first Junior then 2 seasons at Highland League level with Brechin City so the natural progression would be with Forfar in League 2 but i would try to get him on board with us and "if" he is not getting game time as our strikers are doing the business to put him out on loan to the likes of Forfar. He stays on our doorstep and can score goals but still have to find out at what level, get him on board before our rivals up the coast sign him. Great to get a Goalkeeper and another defender on board, well done to all at AFC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the idea of having him as part of the squad but not sure if he’d want to go somewhere he’d be guaranteed to play every week or not. It feels weird to be signing guys in their early 20s. Certainly freshens things up. If I had to guess right now I’d say as it stands Strongest 11 - GK - Hemfrey - guaranteed starter RB - Steele - guaranteed starter CH - ToB - guaranteed starter CH - Hamilton - guaranteed starter LB - Wilkie RM - Stewart - guaranteed starter CM - Gold - guaranteed starter CM - Slater LM - Dow CF - Gallagher - guaranteed starter CF - Reilly Bench - DEF - Bisland DEF - Walker MID - Callaghan MID - Murray MID - Stowe Defence can obviously change if required. I think we need more striking options and Cal Gal will be our main man. We need a ball winning defensive midfielder and a winger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't agree with Goldie being a Guaranteed starter. As you say a big strong defencive center midfielder is much needed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he will be starting most of the time but with 2 uptop you will probably have to change it around a bit depending on form etc - just mean CalGal will be number 1 main man. Reilly be playing with him most weeks I imagine but there’ll presumably be 2 other strikers signed who will be fighting for a spot too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see Steele (A who previously played mainly at CB for East Fife) starting at RB and having 2 RB's on the bench without Walker leaving. Think it will be between Walker and Bisland to start at RB with Stewart as 3rd choice. Steele and ToB to be the main CB pairing with Hammy dropping into CB from LB if either of them are out. But also can see Wilkie getting game time to rest Hammy from time to time whether that be starting or from the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think it really matters if there’s 2 RBs on the bench or not If Steele gets injured one can come on If ToB got injured one can come on and Steele can shift across If Hammy gets injured the same can happen If Wilkie gets injured then one can come on and Hammy can move to LB and Steele CH Makes no real difference really. Although I’ve never seen either Wilkie or Bisland play. Maybe Walker will be number 1 right back. I’ve no idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
