Firhillista Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Agree with the above summary. Felt that Lawless was really disappointing last season, but he's shone in the few games so far. Without picking at what's becoming old wounds, how good a season we'll have will be down to who the manager can bring in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 People tend to piss and moan about Lawless which is unfair because the vast majority of games he provides great defensive help to Booth (he was also carrying a hip injury for most of last season too iirc). Some people will only be happy if he is scoring a 25 yard screamer ever week. He could quite easily score more goals if he goes into buisiness for himself but that would result in us losing a lot more goals down the left side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Any news on signings? I'll accept unfounded rumours. We're signing Miles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 A few quick thoughts on last night, if I may. - Penrice was given a very tough test in an unfamiliar role and he passed with flying colours. - I'm a huge fan of Barton, but too often he puts us under unnecessary pressure by being too casual with his distribution. - Christie Elliot is seriously threatening to make the right wing back position his own. He was always a competent enough stop gap, but he's becoming a much more rounded player. - Edwards was a nightmare. Constantly giving the ball away and running around with no real purpose. He was the same at Livingston. - Spittal is looking like a tremendous signing. He just seems like a perfect fit for our system. Link up play between him, Lawless, Erskine and Doolan was a joy to watch at times in the first half. - Lawless has impressed me more than anyone in the League Cup games so far. I'm hoping he can be a lot more consistent this season. Very much this. If I added anything it would be was disappointed with Erskine last night but not willing to give him a hard time, could have just had an off night. Other thing I thought about Edwards was how much the pace of our play slowed everytime he received the ball 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firhillista Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Jay McEveley leaving Ross County by mutual agreement. Left-sided defender with international experience. Maybe he (and his wife and kids) would fancy Glasgow more than Dingwall? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Sheridan Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if we started the season with the squad we have, with the obvious gaps it has, and try to pick up players in January. Something tells me we'd have brought in any proper targets by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bench has been full of weans for every game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mediocre Pundit Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I wouldn't be surprised if we started the season with the squad we have, with the obvious gaps it has, and try to pick up players in January. Something tells me we'd have brought in any proper targets by now. Some of our fans (not just you) seem to have lost their minds this summer. Every season under Archie we have brought in players at the end of the window, either permanent or on loan - there is zero reason to think that we would have brought in all 'proper' targets by now. What does 'proper' even mean - availability changes and I expect our targets to change with that. I expect Archie to target the best players available - players who can help push us on in league and cup. I expect these same players to have confidence in their ability and not to drop their pants the second Partick Thistle express an interest. I expect we'll miss out on more players than we get. And I expect that early in the season we'll have signed at least another centre half and centre forward who provide additional strength to the squad - because Archie took his time and used our limited budget on the best players possible. I guess I should also expect another few weeks of nonsense on here as fans shout for us to sign someone, anyone. Even Jay fucking McEveley. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cilitbang Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Our targets will be players released from championship and league one clubs over the next few weeks as the English leagues get ready to start.

Red 'N Yellow Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 That's Lee Erwin been released by Leeds and considering offers from here and down south. I reckon we'll be after him seeing as we tried to get him in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
