Hursty Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 That's a blow. Not particularly convinced about McDaid and will definitely miss Meggat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looks promising up front with McGuffie, Forrest, Moffat, Moore and McDaid all good enough for League 1Defence still needs work as we've only got two centre halfs signed up. I'm sure we'll hear more this week about new signings but we've already got a better squad this season than we did the last time we were in League 1.

callum-ayr Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Fleming Geggan CB Higgins Boyle McDaid Docherty CM McGuffie Moffat Moore Something along the lines of this would be interesting, can see Forrest coming in for one of the strikers if the formation changes to a 4231. Really would like to see Geggan in centre mid with Doc, but I just don't see us bringing in the quality at right back compared to what we could get for centre mid.

UpInTheAyr Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Surprised Meggatt didn't want the move to full time, he's only 26 so still got a good few years playing left in him, but if he's got a good job he doesn't want to let go you can't really blame him, and you can't really keep him on part time and play him when all the others are doing it full time and not playing. Itzdrk will be delighted I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope McCall can find an adequate replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McCall's not willing to keep him on part time then it'll be interesting seeing what happens with the PT players still under contract. He's obviously wanting everyone FT for next season.

Of course I'd much rather he went somewhere where he wouldn't play against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that's why he's said he'll speak to Flening and Boyle and I think that's why Lyle Avci has signed a pro contract in case Fleming isn't willing to go Full Time. Although he's been full time before so don't see that being an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgc1910 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 It's a pity Meggatt isn't staying, but in truth, he was a very ordinary centre back. We ought to be able to find a capable replacement without too much trouble. The way things are shaping up with full time football, it's a real shame Balatoni didn't want to stay - haven't seen anything about where he has ended up.

callum-ayr Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looking at our current squad and taking Harkins leaving into consideration, isn't it ironic we're short in centre mid . Well full time pro wise, good couple of the younger players signed are centre mids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Meggat would be a smashing signing for us. Don't doubt he'll be short of p/t offers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 After finding out that Meggatt is moving on that leaves us rather short in defence and with a lack of defenders being linked with us. In the space of a month we've gone from an overload of defenders to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 After finding out that Meggatt is moving on that leaves us rather short in defence and with a lack of defenders being linked with us. In the space of a month we've gone from an overload of defenders to 3. We're still in May for crying out loud. I for one would be happy with a first choice centre back pairing of Rose & Higgins, both very capable at this level. We've been promoted from this league with Scott Walker playing at centre half FFS! In saying that, disappointed to lose Meggat. He would have been ideal as not only a very solid centre back but also much needed cover at left back. Fair play to the guy if he's got a decent job outside of football, he's been down the full time road with Dundee before & maybe fancies some more stability. Just hope he goes to Dumbarton & not one of our rivals in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
