Be still my beating heart. I live in hope that we might sign someone who will actually be a first pick and will improve the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Been saying for ages the only defender we could bring in would have to be an old journeyman or a young kid, because of the lack of opportunities. Weirdly, there would already have been plenty of chances for a back-up defender and I assume there will be many more. I hope he's better than Baird or there'll be hell on. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonBud Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Definitely need numbers at the back. As for Kyle, he seems to become a better player the longer he doesn’t play. Would I rather he stayed... probably, but if we get a reasonable fee then I’m struggling to get too upset. We had an important game to plan for so I can understand why Goodwin wasn’t intimately involved in the decision making, ultimately it is a balance between whether the player wants to go and whether the club have got maximum possible value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I tweeted the club this afternoon to ask if the League Cup games were on the virtual ST or PPV. Typically, they haven't answered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we haven’t reached the scale to have 24/7 social media coverage, it’s just one bloke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spam_Valley Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The club have a telephone number and the ticket office has a direct email address - try them and you’ll likely get an answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does our academy not have any of these lol It's an extremely good point. I find it hard to believe the under-18s/20s/reserves/whatever it's called these days doesn't have at least one young defender we could have stuck on the bench on Friday night (although Goodwin was probably making a statement with that one). I'm not aware of any of them having been loaned out - what happened to the Nick McAllister lad who played a few league cup games last season? Goodwin can moan about the board all he wants, and he is justified with some things, however he is as much to blame as anybody for the lack of defensive cover. Most of us were worried about defensive options for a while and then Baird - who is far from fantastic but would have been decent backup - left and hasn't been replaced. Goodwin talked up a lot of the young boys promoted to the first team squad over the summer and has now loaned all but one out. We could have kept one and then signed a defender instead of bringing in Erwin or Connolly (only singling them out as they were the most recent signings, not because of their ability). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem on Fri is the same problem KIllie had - the Academy players are not playing regularly so are not tested for Covid. So we could not bring any of them in on Fri night. And Daniel Finlayson is 6ft 3 and a regular with the NI Under 19 team. I do not think we have anyone with that stature or pedigree in our Academy. I hope we continue to play with a back three after Fri night which also means less demand for another defender although we need one for emergencies. However the young guy looks like he can help out without costing us much (if anything). Edited October 5, 2020 by NorthBank 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be surprised if it'ss true when you look at the savings to be had by going plastic. At least it will have to go to a SMISA vote if true that's our safety net. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is some credence however when one supporter says 'I heard from someone else' then I'll treat it as bullshit until a reliable source is identified. Flarey Bob anyone?
