The first bit could also have been said for trying to sign Graham & McKay who are crucial for two competitors. I think a bit of aspiration in signing targets is no bad thing. The second bit on whether he is exactly what we need or not, I'm not sure. I just know the team needs experienced proven players and fast. With Dipo going, the first 11 is a bit of a husk with no real focal point at present as witnessed on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not park at the flats as full of junkies ....I know Cumnock well park across the burn at the big carpark at council offices ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty like McKenzie and Franny wil be sharing the right side spot so we maybe have two slots up front to fill as well as a pair of fullbacks ! Maybe our midfield needs a Mark Kerr type as well . Lots to do in a short space of time …. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure why we keep signing more or less the same type of central midfielder. Murdoch, Dempsey and Pendlebury (I've only seen him in Saturdays cameo tbf) seem fairly similar. Smith is the one who offers something different and tries to pick a pass. He was very tidy in possession. I was infuriated on Saturday by the number of our players who didn't look up, there would be a guy unmarked on the wing and they try to thread the needle through the middle with a pass to a guy with two opposition players on him. Granted it was often Reading or Watret (so maybe trying to protect them?) but you should always pass to the man in space.

If he signed for Ayr I'd put the over/under on goals from open play at 3.5 for the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Fletcher is away to St Mirren I’m sure. Blair Alston is still free and would meet the experienced pro criteria that Bullen is looking for. Not sure how good he actually is though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
