We start pre season today and are still 6 or so players short. What a complete mess. We did not start per season today , we start tomorrow with an extra 2/3 players attending training , I would not be concerned re number of squad we have available for when the action starts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silence from club ain't helping either, had zero interviews online with Hopkin since league finished nearly 6 weeks ago Hopkin has only been at club 4/5 days since season finished , all new signings and Moffat re signing were all on Black and White Tv , what more do you want ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 So Todorov’s buggered off…..Hopkin has been on his holidays for 3 weeks and we start pre-season with about 6 players, none of them goalkeepers I’m getting affy nervous now that this is turning in to a fucking farce and we are walking in to it. This isn’t a new manager walking in to a club 3 weeks before the season starts, Hopkin has been in the job since February and it is now June. All credible Scottish based players are now tied up and we are now starting from page one? what the f**k is going on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a budget so I'm sure there will be many quality players available if we're willing to pay the going rate. Remember, we also have the Burnley guys to come in plus other Loans from Scottish clubs I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMIP Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 By my count, we’ve lost 9 players from last season’s squad (Zanatta, McCowan, Walsh, Roscoe, Todd, Sinisalo, Ndaba, Wright, Smith) and only brought in 4, so I guess we need a minimum of 5 just to get us back to where we were numbers wise.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not keen on pinning hopes on Burnley youths like they are going to come up and rip up the championship. If they have decent players not on the cusp of the first team, I’m sure they could go to league one clubs in England. We could most likely be on almost a tier 3 of loans from them. unless we are going to pay a fee for players, we will be looking at frees, domestic and all likely players that are proven at this level or higher are gone so we are heading in to the unknown and will be becoming desperate in the next 2 weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Seems a bit odd that the manager has only been at the club 4/5 days in the 6 weeks since the season ended, but maybe that’s fairly normal at this time of year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cop Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 VOR has tweeted some quotes from Hopkin re the Killie first game so surely there'll be some updates re players in the AP later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Is it too early for the hopkin out thread? I never really wanted him in the first place but if things don’t get better soon he can gtf. we have no keeper no wingers no striker and the same dodgy midfield we had last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
