sergie's no1 fan Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think if you get to the semis you take it serious. I see the early rounds as glorified friendlies. The season begins on the 8th of August for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 We won't be signing chris kane, that's for sure. Going to be very tedious if we are hoping Thompson is going to be the main man this season, he's absolutely finished, as much use as a chocolate fire guard these days.

I'm afraid you're right, I was saying recently that Thompson would be a good option off the bench late in games but I don't think he would even be that. We desperately need another striker, if not two, as well as a left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need another striker, if not two, as well as a left back. We had this exact conversation walking home yesterday. He's definitely done but will still possibly be able to make an impact. His legs can't carry him through 90 minutes anymore. I certainly reckon another two forwards will come in. Hopefully one is Shankland and as has been said, Kane is dead in the water, think this came from the lad himself who said he's definitely going to be at St. Johnstone this season.

We definitely need another 2 strikers in, I'm not even sure Thompson would be any use off the bench, I'm surprised Murray gave him a new deal to be honest, he's completely done and defences will be rubbing there hands at the thought of playing against him. I appreciate all Thompson has done for us but we can let sentiment get in the way anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I can't believe you lot genuinely believed you'd be getting Kane Our manager said in January he didnt think it would do Kane any good to be loaned out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, why would we know what your gaffer said in January about one of your youngsters? To the majority of our fans he's a young lad who was out on loan under Murray last season. It's not THAT huge a stretch to imagine him out on loan at us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane seemingly scored a hat trick against queen of the south yesterday, no danger will he be joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm not sure how people can say that Thommo is "done" after watching two friendlies, if they've even seen both or either of them. Thommo's main strengths are feeding off crosses into the box and creating chances for his teammates in the final third. On Saturday, there wasn't one decent pass/cross into the box for him to even attempt to get on the end of and his team mates showed as much attacking intent as the Swiss army. If we actually get some quality deliveries into the box and show some attacking intent in the final third, then we might be able to tell whether he's "done" or not.

Stu Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Just can't see Thompson working as a lone striker in a 4-5-1 like we tried on Saturday. He can still do a job but he effectively needs someone to do all his running for him. If he's starting it needs to be alongside someone else or a proper 4-3-3 with McMullan and someone else like Morgan or McLear pushed as far forward as possible. We definitely need some more strikers in. No idea about the guy who came on against Bradford, there's sod all on the web about him apart from an article about his assistant manager saying rather unsavoury things about his girlfriend.

ulysses Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Conlan and Howieson will be offered deals. Talks have taken place. All other trialists, including Reilly, have been told to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Guy on B&WA that knows Shaun Rooney says he's in for another weeks training - so he's still on trial effectively, despite what the official site says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Glad to hear that as he looks like he has potential - raw but talented with attitude and strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Yeah. Rooney is his young apprentice in work and everything he's said about him has been correct so far. Glad he's getting another chance, he looked decent in the 15 mins he got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
