MB Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Potentially adecent enough squad with some flexibilty albeit as you say dependant on a number of possible signings still being made. We currently have IMHO a substandard keeper with no 2nd keeper. I`ll reserve judgement until some further signings confirmed. Good point. I have castigated McKenzie before and must have forgotten to do so this time. I'm not sure how good Jamie Barclay is but if he was released by Falkirk that does not bode well. Of course, his signing is yet to be confirmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Of course, maybe we're going to play 3 at the back Edited July 20, 2011 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Think Barclay may of signed for Berwick Rangers now. Also has Chris Higgins been officially confirmed as signing? I notice on the official site player profiles that Nicky Clark is there but Higgins is still not there, does that mean he is yet to put pen to paper? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Barclay was ever offered a deal and he wasn't part of the squad at Palmerston yesterday. Higgins is signed. If he's missing from the OS it's an oversight. There are a few tidy ups to do with player contracts in the next few days. The position with the former 19's has been sorted out but not publicly confirmed as yet. I believe it is the James McGowan who was here who has joined Kettering though having made some further enquiries.

Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 See the squad stats from last year Mr X, only currently signed players stats are there. Burns, Holmes etc stats are not. They dont exist anymore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 They dont exist anymore In fact, they never did. We've had the wall of silence. It's now time we went in for some serious Stalinist re-writing of history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now time we went in for some serious Stalinist re-writing of history. I like that idea Well that section of the site is no use to me, what ammo do I have no when some slags class like Willie and Holmer! Keep your own stats then Shortly, the stats page will change to this seasons games anyway. At some point, the option to view previous seasons will appear .. probably! edited to add - hows that? Is that better? Edited July 20, 2011 by Mr X 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Ayr or the Wickerman? Not sure yet, trying to behave after last weekend See people who can't spell his name and mix him up with Weatherson though; these are the people I can't forgive. IT'S NOT DIFFICULT! That also also annoyed the shit out of me, can't imagine it being much of a problem anytime soon I hope we re-sign Peter Dickson, now that would be something. He was driving a taxi I got in glasgow late one evening, either that or I dreamt it Well that section of the site is no use to me, what ammo do I have no when some slags class like Willie and Holmer! You'd be better off making Holmes stats up, as I'd imagine the real numbers wouldn't be worth defending Although your right, about Willie Mclaren being class 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Not really as it's as if last season didn't happen! Would that really be such a bad thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Would that really be such a bad thing? I'm telling you, we should re-write the lot. Last season should be completely erased. Coming as it did, straight after our glorious Champion's League Campaign, it was a huge letdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The results are still there so hard lines! Thats easily solved As I said, the stats will, or now have, changed to show this seasons and previous seasons will appear at some point ... probably 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The stats were the only thing I really used the website for to be honest..... In that case they might just disappear all together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Its been alluded to on MAD - theres even a "bring back Weatherson" thread Cant say Im overly surprised, or that bothered, to be honest. Hope he finds another club and Id prefer it not to be a first division club! As much as Im not overly fussed that hes gone, I think he's a player who would come back to haunt us. So, if the rumoured signings do sign, plus MCusker (hey lets be optimistic ) then we'd be lining up something like this -------------------------McKenzie McGuffie-------Reid---------Campbell----Higgins Carmichael----Simmons----McKenna----Clark ------------------Brighton-----Smith That would leave a bench of Johnston Alan Reid McLaughlin McCann McCusker I know that's just a guess, but from what i hear, he see's Dan C upfront not on the wing, i've heard this from at least 3 or 4 people now. It makes sense for him to be a winger, dont get me wrong it's where i'd have him in the current squad we have, if he's no there i don't see much threat coming from the midfield. It'll be very industrious, but no flair or creativeness for me if hes not in although peterhead fans seem to rate nicky clark but then again they said not on the wing, so maybe we'll see us shaping up in a 3-5-2 although Gus did state at forum it'll be 4-4-2 but looking at the players we have, we probably suit a 3-5-2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we've gone through part of pre-season with only one trialist striker available and the other part with only one trialist and Smith. IF Brighton and McCusker sign that would leave Danny as 4th choice centre forward. That doesnt really make sense to me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Not confirmed by the club, but his agent is now saying the Harris has signed for Blackpool. Great move for Bob, really pleased for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF Brighton and McCusker sign that would leave Danny as 4th choice centre forward. That doesnt really make sense to me I Definetly agree with your point of view Mr X, I see him the right wing after last year...could do with his creativeness in midfield, if he doesn't looks like we'll be going with 4 centre mids in midfield which would suggest a narrow, compact midfield. Maybe looking for full back to get forward god knows, we'll see what happens i guess! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Or 4-5-1. Not with Carmichael up front, Id hope. A lot depends on who actually signs this week, I guess. If McCusker and Brighton sign, it would seem a bit strange to then play only 1 up front, with 3 out and out strikers in the squad. If neither, or only one, sign then that might be more likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I meant with Carmichael in midfield and based on the squad as it is. Ah right. Well I think we know for sure that the squad will change between now and Saturday - well hopefully before Saturday, but certainly at some point soon! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
