Savage Henry Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 That's right out of the "Terry Butcher, 2009-2013" playbook. The positive spin is that he can only surpass my expectations.He’s the new Terry Dunfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So, is he cover for Draper or Spence when not injured or will we play a crazy 2-6-0 formation that would make Craig Levein proud? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_bairn Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Lee Miller reported that he is in talks with Ross county regarding McManus and hints of another player. Any idea? I’d imagine he’s looking for a creative midfielder. Any youth or fringe players likely to be moved out on loan for game time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosscubed Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Got this from an Exeter fan: My thoughts of Tilson. Will play in the CDM role, sit in front of the defence and does a great job at breaking down the opposition attacks. Will have a lot of critics. Doesn’t have the best passing ability but that’s not what he’s in the team for. He will also be one of the first names of the team sheet because of how important he’ll be in that role. Hope he finds his confidence back and becomes a great addition for you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Westander of County Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Just woke up, a week too early for our next fixture. I see we've lost Brian Graham and temporarily Ross Stewart. Should be manageable as long as no more injuries to Forwards. I guess Tilson gives us more chance of having at least one defensive midfielder available at any time while the others are injured or recovering match fitness. Similarly another defender won't go amiss for the same reason. Time for another wee kip I think. Zzz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deldad7 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Where does it actually say we’ve lost Graham? Unless I’ve missed the club putting something out about it I’ve seen nothing to say we have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 We've paid a fee for Donaldson, so Caley will be happy to get money for a guy who clearly wanted away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I liked Tillson at Exeter, not the best ability-wise but he'll break up opposition attacks and be a bit of a rock at times. Whether or not he'll actually be a good signing at this level is debatable (having a top work rate doesn't always make a good player) but I'd like to see him do well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossCountyFan14 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Tillson reminds me of a Tim chow type signing. Won’t judge until I’ve seen him a few times but hopefully he gets a run out against Ayr.Donaldson is an improvement on what we have and for about 30k he might grow into a promising CB he’s only 24. Hope it doesn’t affect Grivo’s chances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Grivosti really could do with a loan, but there’s no point if he’s going to leave in the summer. What’s happening with Grivosti? Last I’d seen he was highly rated and similar in playing style to Ryan Porteous. Notice he’s not playing at all for you guys. He’s a name of thought of at saints, probably as a 3/4 choice centreback but he probably wants to play games. He’s maybe not got the experience we want, but I’d be keen to take a punt. Maybe it’s a case that he’s not up to top flight football and I’m way off with my assessment, but seems to me he’s a potentially a sellable asset down the line for whoever he ends up at and isn’t old in the slightest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Grivosti was injured for a while, but I'm not sure if he's recovered and fully fit yet? I think he should be starting most weeks when fit, and it would be a shame to see him go sideways in the summer to another bottom six club (although I assume we'd be due compensation?). There was rumours of English Championship clubs sniffing about. I'm pretty confident that he'll end up playing at the top end of the English second tier / bottom end of the English topflight at some point in his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank22 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Grivosti came off injured against rangers, at the end of october, hamstring/knee injury iirc. Don't think he's taken to the field since. He's undoubtedly a good prospect and imo it should be between him and Watson to play beside Callum Morris in the middle of our defence but Liam Fontaine seems to be unshiftable from the team this season, regardless of performances. I don't know who his agent is but Tom Grivosti always seems linked to teams back down south but he's a scouser so that's not a surprise. Hopefully he stays in Dingwall, is offered and signs a new longer contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
