We used Hutchinson as a defensive midfielder when we had him on loan. He was absolutely shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf that's during the season where you got relegated so that's harsh. Edited June 24, 2023 by ScottishLoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aye, but he was brought in January to improve things and offered us nothing in midfield. It was League 1 so maybe he'll be fine in this league but I didn't see much of a midfielder in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridie Vision Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Looking at the latest photos of the boys in training. Whatley appears to have the 10 shirt and Morrison the 6 shirt. Not really that insightful, just an observation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RateofKnots Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Joshua Skelly in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 (edited) Signed our first striker, somebody who crossed my mind after seeing his record last season so really happy with that. Always interesting when we keep signing players I've played football with when I was a kid that's 2 now.

1320Lichtie Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Last time I seen him he was bigger than Stevie Doris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafc1885 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 It’s a striker at least, but I’m not overly convinced that he’s good enough. Would have preferred McGrath if we’re taking a punt on players who have scored a barrowload. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Have reservations as to whether he's fit enough to make an impact at this level - but it's a better signing than Dale Reid would be, IMO. Saw his name getting mentioned here before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored more than bachelor who signed for Montrose did tbf, he's also played in the spfl before so should know the level better than other strikers who score goals at junior level.

Bridie Vision Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Bobby Linn has gone to Lochee United. I had wondered if he might have come to us after leaving the Lichties. Instead we signed another former Arbroath player in Skelly. We'll see how he gets on for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't have gone to another senior club for a few different reasons. Plus I'm sure lochee will have put together a very, very nice package for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely no chance he was playing for you or any other senior club if he’d wanted to keep doing that on a Saturday we’d have happily had him next season. Skelly is a good player but he was a big fat b*****d at Bobby Linns testimonial 7 month ago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense and good for him. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/4507240/arbroath-bobby-linn-comes-home-to-lochee-united/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon From Outta Toon Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Interesting to see if Skelly can cope with the step up. he seemed to struggle before, have seen him a few times at junior levels & he doesn’t really stand out. However the numbers do seem impressive albeit against lower level players. do feel like we need at least two more strikers in, as I don’t think he’s the answer if we’re going to be challenging for the title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
