timlichtie Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 We should have cruised the second half but again missed numerous chances. Undone by a good free kick. No new trialists on show. Apparently a trialist striker to play on Monday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Our persistence with 3-5-2 this pre season is worrying. It improves none of our players and actively hampers some of our best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It improves none of our players and actively hampers some of our best.Its been proven numerous times in the past too, lets just hope its a pre season thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigen can do just about any role, man is versatile as f**k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylstheref Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Gents, I see that you have signed Dylan Paterson. I coached this kid when he was younger and he is one of the best talents I have ever seen. Went a wee bit wayward but if he doesn't nail down a starting slot and move on to bigger things I'll come up and get you all a fish supper! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afc_36_0 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Dislocated finger for gaston so hopefully not out for too long. I personally find it a bit concerning we’re a championship side with a supposedly healthy budget and we dont have enough players to fill the bench and we dont really have a recognised striker either.Happy with the 3 signings brought in but they’re all from league 2 and below and we still effectively have the same squad that got us promoted 3 years ago. Although we will sign some loans come the start of the season i really thought we would have had 2 or 3 more signed players now from championship/good league 1 teams.Still think we need a right back, holding midfielder, winger and a couple of strikers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says on the AFC website match report he popped it back into place once he came off so hopefully no serious damage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiemike Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Definitely think we need to look at RB given Thomson has been out a fair bit with injuries, we can’t afford to play quality midfielders in defence given how thin the squad is. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of talent in the lower leagues that can step up. It's not so easy to just go out and buy the best part time players up from the top clubs. They will be on decent money and a lot of the time the location etc suits them with their regular jobs.I agree we need a few more players but it will take time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiekev Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 No need to panic yet, who is there part time that would Improve our squad, We are now against the likes of Queen of the South, morton, ayr Falkirk and so on competing with players instead of the other part time teams so it's gonna be harder, I think it's fairly obvious what we need and I'm sure the management team are aware too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
