Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I’m positively salivating about Spittal over the new Fir Park turf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Some update regarding the training kit. We apparently got that design due to Bradford joining Macron this season. Also it should be on sale soon (tm). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought when it came to training gear, Macron produces a few designs and you apply your club badge/colours accordingly. I think it was 19-20 when 6 teams had the same grey effort that can be best described as "crazy shoulder chopsticks" were the only change was the club badge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason he’s never been a serial starter. Not sure of the stats but certainly has come on as a sub a lot more than I would have liked. Intelligent player with a good shot, should get you a few goals from the edge of the box. If nothing else he’ll be a good squad player but I think could be better than that. Put it this way; had this happened a year ago, I’d have said “might have kept him but I’m surprised he’s found a club at this level”. In all honesty, he used to be a bit shite 75% of the time. This past season, he stepped it up a notch. I’m a bit disappointed he’s gone. He’ll tell you his best position is wide right. Most County fans will tell you he’s most effective centrally. WyScout will tell you something incomprehensible with a graph that looks like an exit poll. w Edited May 27, 2022 by Savage Henry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large % of Well fans would be underwhelmed if we signed Sadio Mane. Generally those who have no concept of our actual budget. It gets tiring after a while. He’s shite…..He’s shite. The pitch is shite. The strip is shite. Alexander’s beard is shite and on and on and on and on. There is literally a % for Well fans (and probably all fans) that would moan at anything and everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 It feels to me a bit like we're setting up to play Spittal and Tierney as two #10s behind the forward(s). On typing that out though I do have to say it sounds quite un-Graham Alexander. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would only agree to a amber/claret design if there was enought in total to be manufactured and sold (outside of the actual home/away kits). The Training kit numbers that we sell would obviously not be enought to get a non standard colour training kit made for us (unless we payed a lot extra). Now Bradford have joined, expect them to have basically the same training kit line up but with thier badge instead. Alan Burrows confirms it here as well: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly possible, or he's out right to give some width beside Shields and KVV...or he's back up/alternative for Tierney as a 10? Who knows but what I would say is a side with potentially Goss-tierney-spittal doesn't scream functional hoofball by any means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Spittal. Sweet right foot, potent left foot too. Juicy passing range. Succulent shots. Delivers from any angle. Best used either on a flank accompanied by a substantial full-back, to give him time to set, or as one of a trio in the middle with some beef and game to complement him. Too lean as a main course for most occasions, but when served appropriately is the most delectable on the sheet. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) With Spittal signing this is where we are with contracted players. Contract expiries: 2023 - Fox, O'Donnell, Johnston, Ojala, Carroll, Cornelius, Goss, Mahon, Efford, Van Veen 2024 - Kelly, Mugabi, Lamie, Johansen, McGinley, Maguire, Slattery, Woolery, Spittal, Shields 2025 - Tierney I'd imagine there's potential scope for some changes with players going out and there's obviously the question of whether you consider Robbie Mahon as a first team player but ngl it's a trip for us to be in a position where we're not looking at having to sign 10+ players at this stage.

Handsome_Devil Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 An idle thought, unless we only picked up on Spittal now - unlikely - we could presumably have made life awkward for County by announcing him as a PCA at a crucial time of the season. Nice to see us behaving well and also hat tip to him, I don't remember anyone questioning him at all in the run in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other folk care about signings and new strips but I'm pathetically looking forward to the feature length documentary on this pitch refurb - it'll be the highlight of the close season for me. <opening fixed shot of the pitch with ambient background noise - a digger rolls by - Paul Mathew talks about clay for 15 minutes straight> 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
