Pie Of The Month Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Is it worse to sign a shite player who is eligible to play or a good player who isn't eligible to play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the former because then it’s harder to get a match postponed for a faked food poisoning outbreak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlife Crisis Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 What a joke of a transfer window. Further proof (not that it was needed) that Archibald is out of his depth and has officially lost the plot. There isn't a hope in hell that this squad will win promotion. To top it off, I'll await the announcement that Fitzpatrick is away on loan to Stirling Albion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 That's 2 positives- 1. We're all set for left backs. 2. When we get relegated there will be ample parking around Firhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ach, having thought about it we're pretty well covered at any position other than RB. Given about 40% of our squad are injured at any given moment it's not too bad Keepers- Bell, Lennox, Sneddon RB- Elliot, <tumbleweed> LB- Penrice, Melbourne, Scobbie, Bannigan (lol) CB- McGinty, Keown, Scobbie, the lad from Dundee whose name I've already forgot and could google but want to make a point CM- Ntambwe, Gordon, Slater, Bannigan (lol), Penrice, McCarthy AM- Mutombo, Fitzpatrick, Erskine, Spittal, Storer CF- Doolan, Quitongo, Storey, Coulibaly (lol) Probably forgot someone. I'd like to forget Blair Spittal but didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Bell (Sneddon, Lennox) Elliott - Keown - McGinty - Melbourne (O'Ware, Scobbie, Jefferies) Slater - Penrice (Bannigan, Ntambwe, Gordon, McCarthy) Fitzpatrick - Quitongo - Mbuyi-Mutombo (Spittal, Erskine, Storer, Wilson(?)) Doolan (Coulibaly, Storey) A squad of 26 then - with 6 players currently unavailable - with just one right-back and one player who might never play for us. I think middle to front we look quite decent, especially if Coulibaly somehow becomes available to us. That defence looks stinking though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Last season we played 5 different people at RB/RWB due to various injuries, and this season we're going with 1 guy who can play there. Banter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly jag Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Has Keown covered at RB before? It’s one of his ‘other positions’ on transfermarkt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Can Scobbie cover the right-side at all? If Elliott's out it could force us into a back 3 with Spittal and Melbourne as wing-backs... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either play him as a central defender with sub-par physical attributes for that role, or a left back with no pace, he doesn't do anything else. We hilariously played him as a holding midfielder once, didn't end well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be like a horrible combination of Aaron Muirhead and Grant Murray when they played there. I assume the 'emergency' right back is now Spittal which is making me angry even typing this. Maybe Gordon once he's fit Agree we look decent on paper going forward, although I'm now fully of the view Coulibaly won't ever play for us, but at some point this season (f**k it could be in about 15 hours for all I know) our CB partnership is going to be McGinty and Scobbie, two left footed cloggers with the pace of OAPs, and I'm not ready to see that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cilitbang Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Nearly suggested we could promote the RB from the reserves but remembered that he would need protected, nvm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Has Keown covered at RB before? It’s one of his ‘other positions’ on transfermarkt He’s slow and his distribution is brutal so doubtful. Signing both Jefferies and Scobbie seems strange unless we’re looking to go with a back 3 in a lot of games. Surely the money on one of them could have went towards a RB? Elliott has had a few lengthy injuries over the past few years and we’ll be fucked if he gets injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Could still sign a free agent I suppose, like Gary Irvine... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colliedug Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I like to think I'm forever the optimist but i fear the worst, i did believe we needed an experienced CB but not Tam fucking Scobbie and no RB cover for someone who is not even a RB, i think my season ticket money this year is wasted [emoji22] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
