Let's just finish 3rd to get guaranteed group stage European football. Aberdeen look to have bumped their Euro earnings to over 6m euro with last nights win. That's a huge sum for clubs like us. Just to be clear (and pedantic), 3rd place does not get you guaranteed group stage European football. Winning the Scottish cup gets you that. Finishing 3rd only gets you that if Celtic of Rangers win the cup (assuming they finish 1st and 2nd in the league). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW saint Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Robbo saying a few need to move on to allow us to bring in players. Baccus will be away to the Asia cup for 6 weeks so he needs replaced. Wonder who we would move on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said Robbo is a canny operator who frequently plays the media like a fiddle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is always the case each window. No team can stand still. So those who are wanted for transfer fees we will accept, those who don't offer much currently (not getting much game time) or those who are not deemed to be good enough prospects for the future are the outgoing players. Although we might loan out some too. We don't have a big squad though. Perhaps Dunne, Bolton and 1 or 2 of the strikers now Jonah is back. We must currently be under budget with better than expected income. Edited December 16, 2023 by medals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac28 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Baccus and Strain will be off if not January then end of season. Flynn might move to coaching at the end of season. Might try and sell Olusanya. With such a small squad it hard to pick who will go. Robbo loves Chilli D so i dont know if he will try and sell him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houston_bud Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Whilst we're a better side this season, one thing we don't seem to have is defenders who are a threat from set pieces. Both Shaughnessy and Gallagher popped up with goals from time to time. As good as Fraser, Gogic and Taylor have been, that's lacking from their game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually think the quality from set pieces has been shocking, yesterday we had 4/5 corners that with the wind should have been whipped right in, instead they were coming down with snow on them, across the team there is a lot of very simple and basic things being done badly, 20 yard passes, lumping balls into the chanels while there's a hurricane blowing at our backs, we didnt deal at all with conditions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor was wrestled to the ground for the recent og against RC... would have been a penalty if it had not gone in. Gogic is capable and has 1 assist though . Fraser stays back usually as someone has too. Although big Joe is prolific this season he only added the odd goal or 2 and an assist each season with us. Gallagher didn't score many either. Tans 1 goal and 2 assists and Strain has 1 plus 1, but your correct we are not great as an aerial threat Or from defenders generally. It's partly supply and partly we are not getting in front or behind defenders who seem to win a lot against us. It's weird that sometimes we create a fair amount of chances and in other games so little. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a bit of rose tinted specs on my part, it just seems that we had more goals from other parts of the pitch last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
