Yeah, he played most games going into February and at this level and his age it maybe just started to take its toll. New baby to add to the equation which probably had an effect on him. With Forrest, him and McCowan all able to play in that position, I reckon a new main striker and either Moore or maybe a young striker would have us sorted up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Moff has been a brilliant servent for the club and I hope he ends his career with us but and I don't know if it's because he started as a professional late on his legs a gone. He can't do 9 mins any more he can be a brilliant teacher for McCowan and the young lads and be an impact sub but no way is he going to be starting 30 odd games next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The most important thing for me is that we need more height in the team. I know I'm in danger of sounding like Gordon Strachan... Every team was taller than us and we really struggled with high balls as a result. I'd like a big centre half and a big striker (below 30!) to give us the option of going long. We never seem to have a plan b when the tippy tappy doesn't work. I know hitting it long isn't pretty but at this level it is effective. Look at the Highland teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't playing long balls that was the problem, it was continually playing long high floaty balls that was the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk89 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 In terms of 6ft+ strikers in Scotland, do we really have that many who are capable at this level and within our perceived price range? Would love a crack at Brian Graham but there is probably zero chance we'd get near his County wages, even though I don't see him being a starter for them in the Premiership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 According to someone on SRE McCall has said we’ve offered an Aberdeen player a two year deal. I’m presuming it could be Ryan Harrington? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eez-eh Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Signing another young right-back who might not be ready for the Championship yet would be a bit odd with Ferguson already here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 According to McCall, Shankland is deciding between 3 offers. A “leading club” in Scotland and two English clubs. Rangers, Sunderland and Portsmouth imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Also worth looking at this seasons attendances (this is from the BBC website). Its a shame our form dipped as our second half home attendance must have been a few hundred lower. Not helped by being on tv either. Just shows how far we've come under McCall. I reckon we should have about the 6th biggest attendance next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers he may struggle for game time and Jack Ross making a mess of it and not playing the most attack minded system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
