So I'm not fussed if we are waiting to sign better quality players. Also, the League Cup set up is a joke. Starts far too early IMO.

FLDiamond Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Sorry, but starting the season with 2 subs on the bench is frankly appalling. This bench situation isn’t ideal but if Rhys is close to getting 2-3 players that he really wants then I’d rather hold out and get them rather than fill the bench with bodies. Obviously hoping we don’t have injuries out there today but these guys are fit and should make it through the match ok and being brutally honest, I don’t really care about this cup competition. It’s more about getting the team ready for the upcoming season. Everyone will get a chance to show what they can do which is a plus. Maybe we’ll see some magic from a couple of the newer players today. Will be an interesting 90 minutes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Would you rather we hung onto dross like Ritchie to fill the bench then? There's longer until the league season starts than we've currently been back training. So I'm not fussed if we are waiting to sign better quality players. Also, the League Cup set up is a joke. Starts far too early IMO. Would be fine if teams were allowed to play trialists in the group stage, but as it is it’s definitely too early to expect teams to have a full squad.There definitely were players from last season we could’ve had that would be decent enough and give us numbers (like Kerr) but the majority of the players released we should be able to improve on. Disappointing we haven’t brought more in yet but if it means a stronger squad come the league starting then it’s fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we weren't going to replace them with anything better (or seemingly anything at all) then its a valid discussion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the argument of being close to another couple of signings and wanting quality over quantity, which is absolutely relevant. But two subs for the first competitive game looks amateur hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innes mcd Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 People appear to forget we started the league terribly last season due to similar circumstances. If we had started with a full compliment of a team we would have won the league Ii challenge you whether Wilson, Kerr etc were any worse than these kids that are in today’s line up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That apart, i really hope the players who have still to come in are worth the wait and will define our chances this season. We have 5 newbies in our starting 11 today, 3 of them have done nothing to date other than show some potential. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But two subs for the first competitive game looks amateur hour.It doesn’t look great on paper but with every club struggling and the early start to the competition this was our worst fear. If we were starting a game without a keeper, that would be a worry. I wouldn’t call it amateur hour. Fairly sure there was offers to at least a couple of players including Telfer but if they don’t want to sign there’s little the management team can do about it. I’m sure the plan was to have at least 3-4 on the bench today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenmavis Diamond Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 A solid win to kick us off, 2 subs or not. Injury not ideal of course, but that's up to McCabe to see who he can get signed and available. before Tuesday without it being dross. Personally would rather he takes his time and gets players that can fire us up the league than sit on the bench v Edinburgh on a a Tuesday night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
