carlukediamond Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 He's the only viable option, it's going to be baptism of fire for the boy. Have Smith and sumsky been returned to there respective clubs, as they are still showing up on the official site in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Jim Fenner Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 And what if we signed a Rab Douglas or an emergency loan and they had a stinker? Football is littered with goalkeepers who have made their name after coming in to a big game and playing a blinder. David Marshall v Barcelona and Paul Robinson v Lazio spring to mind. Get behind the lad and give him some encouragement - the club definitely see him as being our first choice keeper one day. That lad Brian Potter for Raith Rovers.... wee fanny.

goodwin Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 And therein lies our problem. A highly rated young keeper playing with a dodgy defence in front of him. As can be seen from posts on here people are very quick to blame the keeper and we end up badly damaging his confidence. I'm not sure it's worth the risk at the moment. I'd happily play him if there was a chance of our fickle support not leaping to blame him if anything goes wrong but we all know that will never happen. Are we a bit quick to blame the defence too? A team defends as a team and too often the forwards and especially the midfield leave the defence very exposed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Smith and sumsky been returned to there respective clubs, as they are still showing up on the official site in the squad. Smith has, Sumsky not yet... any opinions on Caolan McAleer? Looked a real prospect during his first spell here but has done next to nothing since for us or East Fife. Just saw the news on the junior forum. Bit surprised he's went on a loan deal - thought he'd be released TBH. How long is the deal for? Suggests he's still in the manager's thoughts at least so hopefully he can go away and capture a bit of form if he can get a run of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchedbymadness Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 At the moment we could do with a left back (maybe could be Fitz?) Or defensive cover, a good midfielder and a good lively striker with pace. Smith, Sumsky, Morgan and Hunter are soon to be gone as their loans are up. McBride, van Zanten, Morton and McAleer seem to be unwanted surplus. Surely we can turn those 8 players into 2 or 3 neccessary parts that can lead us into the playoffs? Slowly but shirley getting there. Expecting some surprise news shortly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

touchedbymadness Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 care to explain more? Sumsky gone. Was expecting more signing news, know we're active and making a lot of enquiries. We have new scouts out watching players. The 20s getting a bit of attention too to ensure a quick production line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
