If your not fast you are last. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your not fast you are last. Or the Jerome Vareillie fiasco some years ago . Perhaps the loss of just about the last target man available this summer will change Hoppy's game plan somewhat ! Maybe McHugh will bridge that gap if available that is . Oh dear . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a major blow for Hopkins as his whole playing style is dependant on a big focal point no9 up top . Killie already have Cameron tied up and I'm guessing Jordon White is beyond our budget !

RiG Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 14 minutes ago, Grant228 said: Hopefully, he's not shite. As I said on the ICT thread he's a better finisher than I and others thought but I do have a little suspicion he hit a purple patch where he couldn't stop scoring and I suspect that's not usually the norm with him but you never know. Will be interesting to see how he gets on. Regular football definitely helped him a lot and he spoke highly of working with Dodds so I was a little surprised he didn't stay for that reason but as we've already mentioned he wanted to move back south for family reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priorities. Guys not on holiday ,( had 2 weeks like all normal jobs) just doing what a number of people are doing which is working from home , also easier for him to talk to potential signings without asking them to travel down to an empty stadium , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he pulls a mickey Reynolds or Glynn Hurst type from the lower english leagues, saying that, might not be able to cope with the physical aspects of Scottish football If only someone could have seen this coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the vast majority of us had major doubts, however we didn’t really have an option but to try and give the benefit of the doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Having read all these pages and being disappointed at no new signing. I would summarise the thread as follows, there seem to be two camps: I'm just about in the its still early camp. I do have a really bad feeling about this season though.

mugen_power Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Imagine the scenes when Killie pump us 6-0 on the opening day and the further scenes when we're 6 points adrift in 10th by Xmas and the chairman gives Hoppy his "full support" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are genuinely so lucky that killie are in the league next season and also people will just be glad to be back at games after so long away or we would beeb looking at an embarrassingly low number of season tickets sold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The Ayrshire Post is a pretty depressing read. We have 4 goalkeepers coming in on trial (2 are from England), Hopkin will also run the rule over trialists for the attacking area of the park. Alludes to being very close to a couple of targets but missing out. It basically sounds like we’re going to have a number of trialists in training and hope a few turn out not to be dug meat rather than actually identifying players that he wants to sign and going out and getting them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Killie game could be a moment of truth for us. They look they’ll be flying out the traps and we look like we’ll be anything but. Hopkin has no credit in the bank and an opening day pasting from them won’t be something he’ll easily recover from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
