D'Jaffo Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Scottish Championship ??Before we signed him. Adeloye was a pretty underwhelming signing given his record elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we offer ourselves as a stepping stone for younger players then it offers a higher reward but also carries a higher risk that they won't settle, potential language barrier, don't suite Scottish football or just aren't very good. As for filling our team with a bunch of players from down South, I'd say 18/19 Falkirk is a warning for anyone choosing to go down that route. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with the odd gamble provided they are the right age but I can’t stress how much we need experience at this level and above in key areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Interested in more of the takes on the Slovenian 2nd tier, saying it's on a par with the juniors suggests there's some knowledge of the two leagues here. Might just be me but I'd probably fancy Triglav against Blairgowrie tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their manager Alen Ščulac is set for big things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jury’s still out on Glendinning for me but I’m willing to accept he had a short time to work in January. You’d hope for the summer if we do operate mainly in the English market that we learn from the experience from Gondoh and Rowe not working out and things like length of time at previous clubs and injury records are considered if we were handing out 2 year deals to new signings. Would be good to hear from Bullen at some point and see if he favours 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 for next season to give us a better idea of what we need exactly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Surely if he wasn’t signing it would be a thank you for the season type tweet? 90% sure he’ll sign and it’ll be tweeted into the part 2 of his tweet after the Thistie game. Well that’s what I’m clinging on to! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
