I try to get around as many non league games as possible, so I may be misjudging him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than ready to try something different. I agree with what you are saying but why do you think they perform so badly with us? We look on paper to have a good team then nothing. It is very disappointing and frustrating. Paddy Flannery was one of these an almost goal every 2 games record for Dumbarton and then comes to us, looking forward to see him scoring on a regular basis and we got nil from him. Keith Wright was another. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vimto90 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It is at the humorous stage now with these BSC boys. I can see all sides of the argument, it does seem like SS has tunnel vision though, as in has he even drawn up a list of targets for positions of players available and these guys are the best? Doesn't appear so. Just a these boys have done well for me so in ye come, which on the flip side can also work. My worry with the LL is that if you have an ok squad you are virtually guaranteed to finish top 6/8. You then just have to do well out of those to get good finishes and in fairness he has done that. My gut is as it stands we will be very hard working but maybe not enough to mount serious issues to the better teams. Plenty signings to come though. Thomas Orr to be announced at 8pm. Ex bsc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB_Bino Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We've signed our sixth player of the window - Stephen Swift has used his extensive contacts to bring in Jamie Mills, a left-back from BSC Glasgow.As I said in a previous post, for your sake, I hope he has improved since his days at Forthbank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The tears so far from Fabregas et al are an absolute embarrasment to be honest. Trust the process. We have signed the third top scorer in our league from last season (and for me personally the best I seen) to be coupled with a guy who will tear this league up in RT. We still have Callum Tapping who up until the restart was arguably the best in his position in the league. So far we have added a bunch of hungry young lions from BSC Glasgow. Nothing more, nothing less at this stage. I don't know much about most of them (nor do our internet hard men) but Declan Hughes in particular has been regarded as one of the best midfielders in the Lowland League for the last couple of years. We have just come off a campaign watching a bunch of charlatans. Let's give a chance to those coming in to prove themselves before judgement. We still have a lot of players to sign and I'm more than confident Swift will add quality to what we have. The Swift Era is upon us. Believe guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you want him to be as bad as he was when with Stirling A? As always will take most opposition fans opinions on ex signings with a pinch of salt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born To Run Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Seeing a lot of concern with Swifty’s additions here. Hey, it could be worse guys. You could have had your squad torn apart after losing the best gaffer in the league... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to have a great affection for the club which some may have thought that he might not have decimated it too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've been generally cautious over the past couple of weeks, I'm excited about Tam Orr and I'm keen to see what he can do. He looked very handy on the two occasions I saw him playing for Stranraer and I hope he can reprise last season's form at Stenhousemuir. I imagine we'll hear back shortly whether or not Cammy Graham, Josh Grigor, Paul Brown and Callum Erskine have signed on for the year ahead. That would take us to a squad of 14, and we'll probably have another six or seven coming in on top of that.

Makes sense to get them some game time rather than sitting on the bench or in the stand, SS has signed a fair few experienced players who I would assume start before the youngsters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
