haufdaft Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Higgins and Holmes are getting on a bit but are capable midfielders at this level. In regard to Higgins, you're in for a very unpleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins and Holmes are getting on a bit but are capable midfielders at this level. Jason Marr is in my mind an upgrade on the ageing Mick Dunlop - a terrific centre half, can't believe Alloa didn't start him last season. Without doubt. He did play the first half of the season and came back in for the closing league games. Was an error for me to drop him again after that. Excellent defender and also great at playing out from the back. Think he could've got a bigger club but Albion Rovers maybe suits him. Great signing. Holmer is also a fine addition, very good on the ball, keeps possession and doesn't panic. I'd have kept both. Good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Marr is a fantastic signing. Wouldn't have been against us bring him in.Hugely jealous that you've signed a load of guys in one night too. I'd love us to sign someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 f**k sake I had hoped we would've signed Marr. Definitely one the best centre halves in this league and would've been a good partner for Chris Higgins.Looks like it's been a busy night for Rovers with a couple of decent signings.

Jack Burton Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Higgins is atrocious can't believe he has been picked up by another club let alone one in the league above. A ghost of player barely looked to get involved in any game last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I've seen him play. He came on and made a howler for Scott McBride's goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNiff is under contract for next season. I wouldn't be surprised to see you sign some current or ex-Clyde players. David Douglas, our old CEO, has moved to you guys and a lot of the players seemed to get on really well with him. Linton and Easton could definitely cut it at League One level but you guys could do far better than McNiff and Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I saw him he was a sub for QP in League 2. Agree that Marr and Holmes are great signings. The others are underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Would like it to be Scott Linton/Martin McNiff/Chris Smith/Dylan Easton. I'd recommend Johnston from Clyde. Very fast full/wing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he scored a few goals at the start of the season but Easton was laying them in a plate for him. The minute Easton got injured, Higgins was posted missing. We tried playing Higgins up front, just behind the strikers or in midfield and he was poor in each position. He has a habit of drifting out of games to such an extent you forget he is playing. I really expected him to end up in the Lowland league or junior next season. I would be very wary of picking up any of our players. We just avoided finishing 10th in league two for a reason. As said above Linton and Easton are about the only two who would be worth signing. However, both were injured for the majority of last season. If you start picking up some of our cast offs like Scott Mclaughlin or Chris Smith then I would fear the worst for Albion Rovers. Marr and Holmes are too good signings but Higgins and Victoria have both failed to cut it in league two never mind league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed for the loons I liked him, pretty versatile and provides cover at left back which most clubs find hard to recruit. Plenty of effort too. Certainly, I'd have kept him, but as far as I know he was one of the first of our guys to make clear that he wasn't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
