Old Fashioned Stramash Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Got to be hopeful that he can find form but what an underwhelming signing. He was dug meat against us last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I have never genuinely felt sorry for another clubs supporters. Until now... Enjoy the Matty Aitken show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to make of this. I liked Aitken at Albion Rovers and thought he was a very useful lower-league striker, but he looked mince at Forfar and I'm sure their supporters will be delighted to see the back of him. Nevertheless, let's hope he can reprise his form from his spell at Cliftonhill. Unlucky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) I thought Aitken was decent first season back with us, he ended up in double figures for goals and assists and did a lot of clever stuff in and around the box. This season his form fell off a cliff and I'm glad he's away. Naysmith saying he'll give you a "physical presence" is bizarre to say the least.

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 If he's a back up fine, if he's been signed as a first choice, it's a very poor signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Blackwell Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Well, after the last two seasons I’ve told myself I am not going to pass judgement on any signings. That’s what I’ve told myself…but this isn’t good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilly Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 As always I'll judge a player in the maroon and not the word of yokels on a football forum. He was excellent at Albion and poor at Forfar. Part time players in general will do some clubs a turn and rotten at others. Hopefully Matty can do us a turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Blackwell Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 An interesting new signing. Ross Taylor from Auchinleck. Never heard of him but seems to have had a great season for Auchinleck. Attacking midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashioned Stramash Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 He was indeed impressive for Talbot last season, surprised we've managed to sign him actually. Should be an exciting signing and looking forward to seeing him in maroon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) Here's how the squad is shaping with our two recent additions: GOALKEEPERS Curtis Lyle DEFENDERS Nicky Jamieson MIDFIELDERS Mikey Anderson Adam Brown Mikey Miller Nat Wedderburn FORWARDS Matty Aitken (signed from Forfar Athletic) Euan O'Reilly Ross Taylor (signed from Auchinleck Talbot) Matty Yates There are strong rumours we're bringing in some boys from the Lowland League very shortly - watch this space!

tamthebam Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Based on his time at Edinburgh City a dud signed from a same division club is a typical Naismith signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Yeah, Paddy Martin is someone I'd be looking for us to bring in. I was really impressed with him at Bonnyrigg Rose last season and the difference he made to their team was obvious. If Curtis Lyle is our #1 next season, that's it, I won't be back (for a week). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fashioned Stramash Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I still would like to see us bring in loan goalkeeper, Urminsky was a massive improvement when he came in. It couldn't have got worse that season to be fair. I know it could go either way with loans but the difference in their level of training could be key. We need that reassurance, I feel. However, Martin has developed a lot since he was with us and I'd feel confident with him as our number 1. Interested to see how Lyle would react to being second choice and whether the competition for the place will push him on or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't. Just think we're more likely to pick up a better keeper in the loan market. Look at our previous goalie signings...I think the expected standard can be higher of the loan player too, especially if they came from a Premier league club. The impact Urminsky had when he came in and the relief/assurance it gave to our defence, knowing that a decent keeper was there and not a bombscare. If we could get a gem like Schwake was for Edinburgh, it could make our season. Wishful thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
