D'Jaffo Posted May 7, 2023 Author Share Posted May 7, 2023 I’m definitely of the opinion that the odds of us finding another 20 goal striker are rather long. It’s even more important in that case that we get more goals out of other positions and one position has to be the wide players. Mullin got a decent return for us but O’Connor didn’t score at all and JML got two goals against the two part time teams in the league. Even Chalmers who had a really good spell for us only managed two goals for us. McCowan would definitely give you more if played consistently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised (but not completely stunned) if Bowyer didn't offer McCowan a new deal. We’ve got just under two weeks until I our next game. Let us amuse ourselves and get overexcited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also part of the most entertaining front like we had along with Moffat and Forrest. The return of liquid football beckons!

I’d love him to come home. I completely get Dunfermline have a bigger support than ourselves however given our 2nd placed finish, the fact we've probably a decent amount of cash coming in for Dipo and David smith generally not appearing shy in investing in the squad then I'm not convinced Dunfermline will have that much bigger a budget than us if at all. Biggest obstacle for me is the fact they are managed by his former manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzar Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Just a thought but I reckon we need to hold fire on who and who won't be here next season simply because of the possibility of promotion - if we can beat our biggest bogey team at their place like we did on Friday then promotion surely isn't impossible. Having Mullin, Kirk and MacAllister back around the team makes it even more possible. What Smith and his recruitment man will do if we get promoted is a lot different to what they'll decide if we have another season in the Championship. Another thought - if we do get to the Preservation League do we delay the development of the North Terrace? Glad I'm not making that decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Can't see McCowan coming back to us. He was immense 2nd half Friday night, turning defenders inside out and then curling in a worldie from 25 yards out. Surely Bowyer will be looking to keep him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity will still be between 6 and 7,000 , only issue is will the home end be big enough to accommodate all home fans ? Or as someone said elsewhere there was the possibility that the North Terrace could be partly open down the front whilst the building of the stand takes place Edited May 7, 2023 by Finlay21 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 I presume Bangala & Ecrepont will return to the team environment for the play offs as Cove and Stranraer's seasons are both finished? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can train with us but we can’t register them to play until the window opens again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
