I won’t be the only one in saying that I’m not expecting any signings anymore. Not saying I’ve given up, but I’m just a bit more apathetic about it, instead of watching the clock every night hoping for the pen to come out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All could improve though and what a difference it would make to bring in 3 players with a bit of quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond1924 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) I appreciate that some teams see this cup as an intensified pre season tournament but that’s no reason to not have a full squad. Having 2 first team players on the bench alongside a bunch of young lads does not fill me with hope. A more experienced team would known that this cup gives you a chance to gel your starting 11 prior to the season kicking off. It’s getting very near panic station atm.

AJ77 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The team we've got just now is a good base but need to add 4/5 guys to compete in the league once it starts, surely won't be relying on 17/18 year olds off the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I'd be very surprised if that's how it ends up. Not a chance the club are sitting back accepting what we have in so far. We've made a couple of great signings in Ballantyne and Rae so far. There's bound to be more but clearly it's tougher to do and taking longer than anyone expected. I'm still not overly concerned but, like everyone else, would love to see the pen out soon.

Assuming McMasters is ineligible to play against his parent club I wouldn’t be surprised if we see one of the academy boys starting again. With McMasters and Salim unavailable, we only have 12 and obviously two of those are goalies, so really it’s 11 senior players eligible to start the game.RaeBallantyne Watson Fordyce DeveneyFrizzell McCabe DevennyMcGill Gallagher SmithThat’s the 11 but keeping in mind that Gal wasn’t in the squad for the last game he might not be fit. McCabe’s also been playing himself at centre back so if he continues that then one of the academy boys would have to play in midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb_diamond Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The squad is chronically thin. A decent first team and literally nothing else of any use at this level. Very worrying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a decent result could show how resilient this first team are, a bad result and pressure is on to get bodies in. Hoping for the best here. We have talent in this side but like you said, very thin overall. These types of games can punish that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have few worries about the first choice 11, but the chances of them managing more than a couple of games without any issues is very small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD1711 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 What’s the prize money like for getting through the group? Could maybe get some ink for the pen if we make it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Bringing on the regens and still winning, brilliant performance all round tonight. Who needs Dylan Easton when you have Justin Devenny scoring a goal a game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As ever, an extra signing would help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
