Fit as the proverbial (every week) and, I think, top scorer in the division as well. A fit and on his game Shankland or James marks ? I would pick shankland every single time and no contest for me . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not financial reasons that Staff,Taylor and Samson have left so the club can take some comfort in that . The other players will be a mix of needing a fresh start and money will definitely be a factor . Big rebuild in the summer and don’t see the signings so far able to replace the likes of Stafford or Taylor but time will tell hearing at least 2 of them you have mentioned are potentially moving country.

Marks is seldom unfit and is almost always available for selection. All a bit academic really as you don't get to pick anyway & Ladeside probably couldn't afford Shankland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Pennel Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'm not really debating anything, Firepit. Didn't mean to cause a fuss with the Talbot support, and not disputing that Shankland (when fit) is a great player. His dignified message about leaving Talbot actually acknowledges his fitness problems. Oh,...and to be described as "lobotomised" by the Beith lad is laughable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much overly positive news coming out of the club at the moment so unless things change over the next couple of weeks then there won't be any hope off a real title challenge next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squad was desperately needed overhauled. Im disappointed about Stafford Taylor & Mason not so much about the rest. Wilson & Leishmans best days are behind them and Shanklands not been fit for 2 seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sloan is an astute judge of players when it comes to letting them go if their best days have come and gone.And he does tend to source quality replacements too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree regarding the squad - it needed overhauling but the communication from the club should be alot better than what we are getting. Hopefully they have a few quality replacements lined up but at this stage (still soon after the end of the season I know) they seem to be playing catch up with all the key rivals getting deals done. We'll see what the next few weeks bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Andy never made it past boys club level down this way but wants to slaughter boys who have won what he couldn’t. Leishman best days certainly ain’t behind him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
