wellboy1991 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Forward options - Out from last season Shields (loan return obviously), Mandron, Danzaki, Aitchison, McKinstry, Morris, KVV, Tierney and possibly Efford In as replacement Wilkinson We did have a shed load of baggage but that is some difference in attacking options. Appreciate a couple more still to come in but feck me it leaves us incredibly light up top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd expect we won't carry that many this season (which is the correct thing to do) but even when it's done and dusted I think it will likely feel a wee bit light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think Tierney going on loan for game time is the right thing rather than getting 10 minutes every 3 or 4 games for us. Hopefully he can come back and contribute, there may be a break clause in January if required. SK (or Frail) has said they are looking to get more in, no reason not to believe him, he has delivered so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I always thought Tierney had potential but he was better coming off the bench than when he started. Hopefully he does well down there. I do wonder who else is on Ketts moving on list. He did say in an interview he’d spoken to all the players who’d have limited game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I don't like not having wingers. They're the best kind of player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 As long as Mckinstry and Ketts haven't fell out I'd want him signed. I think he'd do well in behind when needed too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd do well in behind when needed too. I do agree with that however would he sign with us to ply 15 mins every second or third week. He would get very little game time with us. Think he has to go somewhere that he will get some game time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 That's one of the main reasons why I'd rather Efford hung about. If we're prioritising a 3-5-2 as our main formation and not bringing in any wingers then an anywhere across the front 3-er offers us basics our only ability to be flexible upfront. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that was my thoughts of Efford aswell if he remains fit of course… Seems we are lined up with a Plan A and then just a Plan A+ which will be just to launch it long to our same big strikers…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliphas Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) More stand stuff. Good stuff from Derek. I'd be keen to hear our ex CEOs take on this given it was under his watch this happened last year originally as well as something from the chairman currently about it Edited July 24, 2023 by eliphas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_tony Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 6 hours ago, YassinMoutaouakil said: With the caveat that I do like Tierney as a player, I'm pleasantly surprised by how well we seem to be doing in shifting guys on given we don't have a CEO etc. There was some chat at the game on Saturday that Derek Weir has been quietly appointed CEO. I had previously caught some stuff about him doing the job on an interim basis but the story was that it's been made permanent and the search for a new CEO called off. I've no idea how true this is or if someone's just picked things up wrong but then there hasn't been any communication from the club either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
