Glenmavis Diamond Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Looking at the next 4 fixtures, which takes us to the end of Q1, I'd be looking for us to try and bag 10 points. Edinburgh & Clyde at home are games we should be winning if we aspire to win this goddamned league. Both potential banana skins but at home, we should be winning these. Kelty away too, given how poorly they have started. Montrose away is the trickiest one but we are still good enough to go there looking for the win and a draw would be seen as a decent outcome by most I'm sure. I between times, the other teams vying for top spot will have some tricky games so hopefully will dro some points. By the end of Q1 we could still be top but with a gap opening up a bit. That'd the dream scenario anyway! Onto players and recruitment. Big day today with the transfer window closing. Not that it really affects us, lol. However, I still think this could see us being one or two new players in this week to bolster the squad further. Hopefully Rhys manages to find the type of players he's looking for that will add competition to the team and not be here to earn some skelfs. Interesting few days ahead (hopefully!) but cannot wait for Saturday. Mon The Diamonds 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She who dares gins Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Anyone have idea about the home strip launch. It’s gone very quiet on that front: at least we could see the designs or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's right not to put out some designs though , things always look crap until they are modelled , even on a dummy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ77 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Noticed the sun have mentioned Hibs midfielder Dylan Tait looks like he's heading out on loan, heard his name mentioned with us a few weeks ago would be good to add one more attacking midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If going by the last 2 seasons, the home and away will probably be the same design, but different colours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to think he’ll end up in the Championship but you never know. He is exactly the type of player we need 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodwin Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Next team after Dunfermline Will there be a back 3 with Rhys A swop of of Deven[ne]ys as there was towards of the end of last Saturday with Justin moving to left wing back where he got forward to set up Friz's amazing goal Ben Wylie getting a start in the Rhys shaped hole in midfield? Up front is LJ forgiven or will Gal and Gabbie start. When, if ever will Sal get a start 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Fernández Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Imagine everyone after today will be after the SPL players that will become available. Hopefully some movement soon, especially in defence, maybe 2/3 more bodies required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked up his stats not good reading right enough, not many goals and less assists, maybe do Dunfermline 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up front is LJ forgiven or will Gal and Gabbie start. When, if ever will Sal get a start I’d probably stick with the same team. Deveney was poor on Saturday but he’s done well so far and I don’t think he’ll get as tough a time in any other fixture as he did on Saturday, against Kyle MacDonald of all folk. Albeit the boy Robertson seems to have scored in almost every game so far and I think he plays on the right. Feel the same about Jamieson. Was obviously having a bit of a stinker but he’d been excellent and a real threat in every game up until Saturday. He deserves, and needs, a goal. I assume Henderson will be in goals on Saturday? The Alloa cup game (which is now the Friday night) seems like the best opportunity to give the likes of Salim, Wylie, McMaster and ATS (if he’s still around), a full, or as close to a full 90 minutes as possible, under their belts. If we can kill off either the Edinburgh or Clyde game(s) early enough we might see a bit more of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Rae can't be too far away if Murray Johnson is going back to Hibs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenmavis Diamond Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hard not to get a bit nervous now regarding signings. I've been the voice of positivity for some time now, but cant keep saying 'there's still time' forever. Would hate for our excellent start to be undone by a couple of injuries, suspensions etc. It's certainly been a tough period for actual signings but our expectations seem to be dropping from 5-6 players needed, down to 3-4 and now even 2-3. There's still time though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I see Fordyce has confirmed that we most likely won’t be signing anyone today, with the plan being to try and bring in a couple of loan players before the end of our loan window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
