May Rckinnon Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Still some glaring gaps in this squad. No genuine Full Backs, no real out-and-out wingers, strike force will be limited. No doubt Robson will sign to make it umpteen central midfielders. Stinks of a McKinnon half arsed approach. Next 4 matches are essentially free hits, so I fully expect us to sit in & lose all four. Would imagine two more are brought in & the squad is then beefed up with loan diddies once more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon can't be judged until the league campaign, took his goal well but in all honesty the formartine defenders were AWOL. Can't be worse than Skelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForfarLoon84 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I've been to both friendlies, and I know they are exactly that and we shouldn't read too far into them, but they definitley haven't filled me with much optimism. Didn't think it was possible, but I think we have a weaker squad starting this season than what we did last year, and can't see anything else but a season long struggle at the bottom end of the league again unfortunately. The fact Kinglis couldn't get game time the second half of last season, but now seems to be a starter, shows we have a weaker squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was saying at the weekend, we'll be making up the numbers with a few loanees from Dundee, Utd & Aberdeen that are nowhere near their first team level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Ray in the courier today saying that we've missed out on at least 10 players mostly due to other teams offering more money confirms what we feared. He also admitted that we're desperate to have more signed before Livingston. Seemed to be suggested that Robson has intentionally dragged out signing on again to see if he gets another offer which feels a bit strange, maybe ironically despite ray playing him every week Finn doesn't really like playing for him that much?

I don't believe this for a second btw. Why would we take his word as gospel? the most visibly uninterested manager in 42. Much more believable that he's doing the bare minimum & using the ready made excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Rckinnon Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 The best squad McKinnon has had is the one Irvine left him. Hilarious stuff. #JusticeForIrvine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know exactly what we are getting from him. If he's possibly going to be leaving, why not get a trialist in and see if he's up to it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridie Vision Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 In all seriousness, keeping Stuart Morrison is the "superstar" signing this summer, every other signing will be poor, meh to adequate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
