RabG1869 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 We aren't having any friendlies. Couple of youth team games against non league teams and a testimonial at Auchinleck but no official friendlies unfortunately. Apparently because of the new league cup structure we are starting with thatONE TEAM IN AYRSHIRE 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higginbotham and Balatoni are still at the club technically, but they've been told to find new clubs, so we must assume they'll be away before the league games start. Why do you think they'll be gone? They're gash, and no-one will take them. They are at the correct level for their talents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when a club tells a player they are free to go then they will go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably too early to tell yet, but I'm interested to see what experience will be in the team. I'm guessing the following will probably be first picks at the start of the season: Jamie MacDonald Miles Addison Conrad Balatoni Steven Smith Gary Dicker Kallum Higginbotham Josh Magennis And out of those, I'm guessing MacDonald, Addison, Dicker and Magennis are the guaranteed starters. When listing it out there is more experience in the squad than I initially wondered, but it still seems to me to be a huge gamble to bring in so many inexperienced players. Ross County did it slightly differently two years ago, but there were between four to six players who regularly started at the beginning of that season who had no experience of Scottish football, and boy did it show. They might turn out to be really good signings, but I can't help but think the younger players are going to take a while to get to speed with the game,. I'm not sure this season's Premiership will afford much time to settle before falling behind the pack. Unless Hamilton and another are complete guff. I'm probably reading far too much into our 4-0 Falkirk victory but I would expect the season to start with Magennis and Boyd upfront, either as a pairing or with someone else thrown out wide opposite Magennis and Boyd through the middle. Regardless of the front line I think we need to put Kiltie in the hole behind the strikers, preferable with Dicker and someone else sitting in their too. We could be 5th, 10th or 12th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't happen IMO The deal would have been done already had the lad not picked up a knock playing for England U19s a fortnight ago.... it's not as bad as first feared so Newcastle are happy to loan him to us as they won't loan him out to a club in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping to take the wee man but apparently both managers requested it be closed doors. A few Morpeth fans had booked hotel rooms as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
