Encouraging. Seeing the pen tonight would be even more encouraging! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the one thing our team from last year lacked in a few games, was a bit of height. Wonder if Russell McLean was one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent scoring record but not really rated by Montrose or Peterhead fans and wouldn't expect him to be on trial as a fee is required to Peterhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would 100% take him, proven goalscorer at this level and offers us something different up front, him, Gal, Smithy, Salim and Gabby McGill would get you goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we were interested last year and since he's free to leave Peterhead i'm just assuming we might be in for him again. If Peterhead are desperate to get rid of him surely they'll let him leave on a free or a low fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossm25 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Think we might have some friendlies lined up before the Lanarkshire Cup thing. Probably closed door but would be interesting to see if we get any pictures from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be the biggest p***k in league 1, but if his goals got us up to the championship, that's all that matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the one thing our team from last year lacked in a few games, was a bit of height. I remember McCabe said in the Advertiser that while he wants to replicate last season's style of football, he thought one of our biggest downfalls was not being able to adapt or change/mix things up if things weren't going our way. Our version of that was just chucking every forward player on, which admittedly had mixed success, and he wants to bring in players to address that. I would tend to agree with him. I don't think 'size' is necessarily the important thing (though it would definitely help at set pieces) but there were games where we needed to be more streetwise, take the sting out of a game/see it out better, pick up a booking or foul because it would have been the best thing to do etc. Cove, Montrose, Thistle and Queen's Park were all better at this than us and it ultimately showed when it mattered. You can be a good footballing side and a streetwise shithousing one and the best sides tend to combine those elements well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points regarding size,not all important but I felt we did lack some physicality last year, I think it might be good looking at some wingers too, players that can come off the bench and make an impact on games too as we don't really have any natural wingers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone can correct me if i'm wrong but i can only remember Josh Kerr scoring with a header from a corner last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also think we only scored 2 goals directly from corners last season. Kerr at Falkirk and McInroy at Montrose? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the arm to the right of the Fordyce photo. And whoever is photographed with the number 7 shorts in the McCabe picture. Fernandy Mendy maybe the owner of the arm as a facebook poster claims he has signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
