Kyle Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 I’ll go for a ‘we’ll need to get some out before we can bring anyone in’ interview on the 11th of July, because that’s when our first time manager will be back from his coaching course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick glance at the map would suggest sales going pretty well, although there may be some folk not renewing, which is showing the seats as unavailable.

RandomGuy. Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Ive a horrible sinking feeling this window is going to a complete non-event. We'll sign some form of goalkeeper, probably a Jamie MacDonald type who wont compete for the number one jersey, and probably get another year from James Brown, but i genuinely worry thats all we'll do bar some punt on a CB whos either a loan from Celtic/Rangers, or one an agents hawking about. I then worry that a rookie squad + rookie manager + relying on Considine managing another season at CB = doomed to bottom pretty early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Relax lads, it’s still early days, plenty other clubs haven’t done business. Although Jamie Macdonald as back up is something I can see occurring, and if it’s solely back up I don’t care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) Macdonald as a backup doesn't sound that bad at all tbf. Edited June 16, 2023 by SJFCtheTeamForMe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 I doubt Macdonald would be much if any worse than Matthews, who was fine but nothing that lifted any trees IMO. Pulled off a few very good saves and not many absolutely glaring errors but felt he was one of those ‘could he have done a bit better there?’ goalies. Think the back up goalkeeper does have a wee bit riding on it because we don’t really know if Sinclair is up to it yet as we were only in the position to give him 2 dead rubbers at the end of last season. If Allan McGregor is still up for a playing contract and looking for coaching experience, he could be one to fit the role too, as long as he knows he’s there as back up/to be used in the event of a confidence crisis with Sinclair. Parish leaving certainly opens up that opportunity for an experienced goalie to come in and combine the two roles. Perhaps we’ve got someone in mind/lined up to do just that and that’s why Parish is away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Not much given away in the statement about Parish. His decision, one made by the club or a case of they couldn't agree terms? I guess what happens nexf might answer some of those. Coaching staff down to the bare bones now. Alec Cleland is what exactly? Liam Craig is first team analyst and development coach. Alex Headrick does the fitness stuff. Surely has to be appointments to be made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Certainly have to do something about having no goalkeeping coach, senior goalie in the squad is 22 so it’s not like we can ask/expect them to look after themselves 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Knicker wetting over Parish going is quite something - very happy we've removed the spectre of him ever again playing in a football match for us. Replacing him with an older player who can coach and you can credibly rely on to do goalkeeping if required would be great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure i read before that McGregor and Macca go way back from school days playing in teams together and joined the Original Rangers at the same time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
