Aidan Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I know that hindsight is a wonderful thing but I can’t but feel Ross Sinclair will leave and prove to be a much better goalkeeper than anyone else you’ll bring in over the next 5 years or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed, that’s the plan; however we saw last year with United how not having a good goalkeeper is an issue. Sinclair is still really young for a keeper and he only has to look at what happened with Clark to know he’ll get a chance. Even if we do sign a keeper on a 2 year deal who pushes and makes Sinclair a better player by forcing him to up his game, he’d still only be 24/25 at the end of that period and then you’re into the start of your career as a keeper. But if he’s good enough he’ll play it’s as simple as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Was there not a comment at the last forum (before last night) that Sinclair was the only one who had been offered a new contract until our top flight status was confirmed. That’s a good 3 months or so ago now, so maybe this is planning for the future as Ross has either indicated he’s not going to sugn another contract, or dragged his feet too long? just speculating mind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Team looks a bit more like it tonight. Not enough for a top 6 finish you imagine but if you could keep them fit and in form it would do alright? All big ifs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably wouldnt be the worst starting 11 in the league as it stands, but theres so many unknowns its hard to tell. Sinclair, Gallacher, Ballantyne, and Max all looked fine in flashes, but we dont know what will happen (either way) if theyre playing 30+ games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Aye MacPhersons having a stinker, his overall passing has been awful even ignoring set plays. Can see why MacLean likes Ballantyne with how he wants to play. Such a shame a year of his career was wasted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I know I'll be hounded out of here for this take but I can't fathom how Stevie May's still a premiership striker. Obviously just preseason but if tonight's starting line up is close to what you'll be starting with in the premiership you'll be struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He goes through spells (like tonight) where he doesn't look up to it any more, then hits a patch of form where he's a real asset. He's a confidence player, and I don't think playing as a lone striker helps him either Edited July 11, 2023 by Kyle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not a lone striker unless you get players close to him, as hes prone to avoiding anything physical. General thoughts are he'll end up playing off one of Nicky Clark or Chris Kane if either of them are ever fit again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s pish the majority of the time, but seems to produce wee spells where he gets a run of goals that keeps him in a job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Young lads really are impressing every time they get a chance in pre-season. Hadnt really been aware of McCrystal before this Summer but he looks a great prospect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
