Have heard very little about him since he left us. I’m of the understanding that he’s not on trial with us, but I’m sure someone with inside info can confirm or deny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like us to sign him , from my experience of watching Friday night championship games he looked good going down the left and has the look of a player that can player that can play a couple of positions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a suggestion from last week that both Strapp and Jordan Marshall were on trial with us, but no idea if this is or was accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they'll be any good or not remains to be seen. I’m presuming you were wrong and it wasn’t a full strength team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was as full strength as we can muster at present. A few players injured and Baccus, who hasn't kicked a ball for a few weeks, who wouldn't normally have started, if we hadn't been so short in midfield O'Hara suspended and Gallagher off to Dundee United. Bar Greive our bench would be lucky to muster double figures in terms of first team appearances last season. However, apparently we were dreadful for which we have no excuses for. Credit to Cowdenbeath for a great, but ultimately unrewarding, performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So little creativity and as for number 9, the less said the better. Will need a few decent additions to have any hopes of top 6 again. Cowden fought hard but just ran out of steam last 10 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were poor . That long ping out the park from Dunne is a regular feature of our game . We had no shape yesterday and badly missed Baccus and OHara , Cowdenbeaths pitch didn't make it easy to move the ball either . Cowdenbeath were decent though and worked hard, I think they will have a good season . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we reverted to our Montrose performance levels, as opposed to our performance against Arbroath. Without O'Hara and Kiltie we really lack creativity. Also, if Strain, has a bad game, which he did last night, we struggle. McMenamin signed from Glentoran is a very creative player. However, unfortunately he's injured. The jury is still out on Mandron. Still far from match fit, but had a better game v Arbroath. We still have the nucleus of our team from last season, so another two or three signings and we should be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is we will be just fine this season in the countries top professional league, however we greatly appreciate your concern. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Cowden fans are interesting; one complains we didn’t beat them by enough goals and another went to the St Johnston thread to comment on Mandron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The more I read how utterly shite we were, with zero creativity, passes pinged oot’ the park, no spark, no threat, no chance, and we’re pretty much a piss poor outfit, the more I find a 95th minute winner highly pleasing. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Jamie McGrath a free agent I see. Wasn't looking likely anyway but no sell-on fee for us. I'd imagine that Jim will be on the phone to him..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not holding my breath. Bolton and Dec was a surprise. Would be nice to see someone else in tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I hope this busy period over the next 48 hours does not include the signing of Marshall. He’s shite and no better than Tanser, who is also pretty shite. No length of trial would prove otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Might as well bring Ronan, Hladky, Popescu and Dorman back too. We don’t always have to re-sign guys who were decent for us. I think McGrath is a decent player. But barring his spell with us he has ranged from distinctly average to dog shit. Even when he did play for us, if he wasn’t the penalty taker when we won the most penalties in living memory then I highly doubt we’d even still be talking about him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
