Diamonds02 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I would agree that there is more than enough experience in the squad. People also forget what league we're in sometimes. Since when has there been experienced players available at this level in January? Just a few decent loans for depth and i will be very optimistic for the second half of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believe that we would be a championship club just now if we hadn't lost McInroy last January. agree with you there @Kenny_mwould rather 1 or 2 that go straight into the starting 11 than 3 or 4 for the bench and yes when you look at how close it ended in the league I think keeping McInroy would have made the difference. Still happy we've brought in anyone though given the slow pace of things in the summer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will bring in another 2 or 3 and hopefully they have quality and push us on even if there not experienced haha guy from thistle is well thought of hopefully does us a turn We do want the same thing, I would like to think if a manager signed player with experience he would have a bit of quality, I just don't have the same confidence in 18year old players with practically no first team experience, would like us to continue our winning game tomorrow, happy new year, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybitchunderprotest Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 2 hours ago, Diamonds are Forever said: I wouldn't turn down improvements to the starting 11, clearly. However I don't really agree, I think our current position is down to lack of options from the bench and lack of options in the squad when injuries and suspensions have happened. In numerous games we've lost points because the opposition have had options to change the game and we haven't, and most of our dropped points came when Frizzell wasn't playing. If we could add 3 or 4 players who are similar to the standard of our first 11 it would make a massive difference and we'd make the play-offs relatively comfortably. Rhys mentions in his interview hoping to bring in "2 or 3". If as seems likely at present we lose LJ back to St Mirren that's only an additional 1 or 2. I don't know how long the loan is for young McMaster but if that ends in January there's another one gone. The potential 2 or 3 additions then don't swell the squad overly much if those 2 are gone. Sal returning from Stranraer (if that's what happens) gives us another body for the bench. Defo think we need more than 2 or 3 if the loans are ending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McMaster is a season long loan, LJ I can see getting taken back to Paisley, maybe try and sell him, Goalscorer s are like hens teeth these days and not cuptied either, Sal is a weird one, I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped to West of Scotland League, apart from a good season at Queens Park the rest of his senior career has been a disappointment and injury plagued, I think he is a good option off the bench for us, is that enough for him and Rhys though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cant play for a 3rd team. He goes back and stays at St Mirren or he stays at Airdrie, those are the only options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 While it’s a great laugh signing Bright, McCabe doesn’t strike me as the sort of manager who’d add him to the squad just for the sake of it. Indeed, he’s publicly made his signing policy doing exactly *not* that. So he must see something in him. And if nothing else, you sometimes just need a big haddy striker on the bench for something different which we now have. I think most play-off semi-finals we’ve won have been partly due to a haddy upfront finally coming good (Derek Holmes, Jack McKay and Afolabi) so we’ve at least now got that basis covered. Buzzing to see him play but important to remember that he’s only a boy despite his size and his hype so hopefully folk are patient with him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 January and we still can’t defend? Not fucking good enough. Cruising here and let them back into it through our own slackness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
