citydiehard Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Our new signings haven’t actually set the heather on fire.Not really enhanced our squad. Letting Deano (an excellent keeper) go and replace with a 17 year old baffles me.Deano treated shabbily by Kirk so understand why he has left ,he was a very able replacement for Lenny (shite under pressure).So now we have a keeper liable to making stupid mistakes guaranteed a game as you can’t expect a 17 year old to cope with the rough and tumble of the highland league.We need more attack minded signings especially to challenge Grady for the striking spot. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Dean should have had a few more games and I'm sure he'll do well at Lochee. I think we have signed a really good prospect in Jamie and hopefully, your "crystal ball" (which predicts he will make stupid mistakes) is incorrect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please read the comments properly, i said Lenny makes stupid mistakes and you can’t expect a 17 year old to cope with the rough and tumble of the highland league. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny played every league game - 34 and conceded 16 goals which was by far the least amount of goals conceded by any team. Fair enough he made some errors but our defense looks rock solid to me even if Jamie has to play a few games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trialist was Deano. 19 hours ago, citydiehard said: Our new signings haven’t actually set the heather on fire.Not really enhanced our squad.

Heard yesterday in the ground that players don’t want to come to Brechin because we didn’t win the play off.So looks like back to the good old days of getting the dregs/shite free players.Will now struggle to get out of the Highland League ,will always struggle against the bigger,stronger fitter teams. I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked to see who it was and it was North End. Finished fifth only 5 points behind Lochee United and 12 behind Carnoustie Panmure. Likely at least midtable quality in Highland League terms in other words? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, North End would be roughly that standard I'd say. Decent side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Literally just been watching North End today... Broxburn beat them 2-1. Decent looking side with a fair bit of pace about them. Unlucky today that one of their wingers had to go off early injured. Broxburn had to play pretty well today to beat them and I can't see them being a side many (or any) teams and tiers 5 or 6 would get 4 or 5 goals against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also sign up our trialist (number 19) who scored a double. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
