airdrieman Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I’ve heard from a couple of people he’s a decent prospect who can indeed play in the midfield so hopefully he can come in and do us a turn. Fingers crossed for a decent striker to come as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 If McDonald is a good prospect that can cover a few positions then I'd be delighted with that (particularly left back since I never felt confident having only McCann there last season and would prefer if here was cover for Quitongo). However, I can't imagine we're signing him because we missed out on Paton so I'd still expect another defensive midfielder to come in. Reckon after McDonald joins (assuming he does) we'll only be that one midfielder and a striker or two off of a full squad. Wouldn't be surprised if a third goalie comes in as well although I'm not too fussed about that since Morton have shown us how easy it is to get an emergency loan in if necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really don't need another centre back. I assumed Watson would take it since Kerr and Fordyce had 4 and 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Diamond Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Screaming out for a striker you'd struggle to get any of those strikers to score 20 between them and im being generous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain there will be at least one striker added to the squad, maybe two. Roy, Carrick, and Connell all departed and only Allan has came in. Easton might play up front with Gallagher and Pyott might get more chances but there's obviously no guarantees with him considering his lack of appearances and frequent injuries. Regardless, I'm hopeful that Gallagher will manage to score more with more creative players around him, our midfield definitely seems more creative on paper than it has for the last few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling the striker will come from down south. Sort of the same idea as Raith done last season with the likes of Manny Duku from the National League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I’m sure the club know more than anyone that we still need a striker or two. By the sounds of things there will definitely be trialists playing this weekend. Hopefully a decent striker(s) is among them and ideally there will be some interesting or exotic names mentioned here on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
