UpInTheAyr Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Wonder what the recruitment strategy will be for next season. Will it be a case of fine tuning the one we have or ripping the whole thing up and starting again. Because if we continue as is then we're going down and can't complain about it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done as a player and what does he even do in his staff role? This is what we don’t know though. As a player? Up there with our worst ever signings.. I so hope he’s ‘adding value’ to coaching or in another way. “Staff role”? What the f**k does he add. We are not a big club but we’re trying to grow. If McGeady is in some way facilitating this then crack on. If not, gtf. I think/hope Brown knows and understands the level he is operating at now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 If you’re appraising the current squad at this point in terms of next season then I’d go. Keep - Stanger, McGinty, Reading, Dempsey, Syla, Murphy, Chalmers, Dowds, Tomlinson, Guthrie, Bryden, McKenzie. Punt - Albinson, Mutch, McAllister, Musonda, Smith, Amartey, McGugh, Willoughby, Sanders, McGeady, Rose Undecided - Murdoch and Clarke. If all those players left then you’re probably left looking for two goalies, a right back, two centre backs, a central midfielder, two wingers/attacking midfielders, a striker and some sort of cover at left back unless one of the centre halves we sign can cover there. Thats 10 new players and tbh it’s likely to be more as Chalmers won’t hang around and it’s not a sure thing that Dowds will either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him getting the ball cannoned off his dish during the Stenny game and he fell and got back up about five times in rapid succession. A game saving block. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fine with Mutch staying as back up and I would also be fine with McAllister staying as an actual squad filler, but no doubt he will be lining up to start in the league cup! I just have no faith in our recruitment anymore, unfortunately. Who is Clarke though?!! Edited February 24 by No_Problemo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went down like a felled tree, straight backwards. there was a brief silence, broken by a Thistle fan laughing like a fucking drain from behind the goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wullieaufc Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 So we brought in a keeper for the rest of the season when Mutch will be back in 2/3 weeks, recruitment is a joke right now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Always thought Albinson looked really good the times I've seen him. Bit surprised at you guys wanting him punted. Swap you for Mehmet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, don’t you go losing faith. I think Moffat signed for us when he was 25. Same age as “the ghost” is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit surprised at you guys wanting him punted. Swap you for Mehmet. His form has fell off a cliff this season. Some people are attributing it to the goalie coach moving on to Carlisle but I’m not sure. He’s been dropped a few times this season and there’s been chat of a falling out but no one actually knows. Based on the way Josh Clarke played today, Brown clearly wants someone confident with the ball and the young goalie looked good in that respect. Only criticism I’d have of him is he was glued to his line but that’s maybe an age thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
