Kenny_m Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I know this is just wishful thinking on my behalf but Killie play their first pre-season tonight and McInroy not stripped. Seems like he's destined for our league this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next most was 15 for us the season before. Would be surprised if thistle take the chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Kerr's injury troubles not all linked to a hernia that he tried to manage and play through during the COVID season, last season coming back from rehab and McCabes emergence as a quality defender dropped him to the bench , after that Murray seemed to use him sparingly, I could be way off with my assessment, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only made 5 starts for Bohemians as well. It's all been said above, perfect specimen of a footballer and a classy player but unfortunately seems to be dogged with fitness issues.

Not seen much of East but upper League 1/lower Championship seems to be his level. Hard to judge Kerr as his time with us was so stop/start. But he never looked good defensively in a back 4, his only solid spell was in a back 3 towards the end of the Covid season. He's good technically so I guess if he gets a run of games and has a solid side around him then who knows, but there's no way I'd be taking the chance on him even if we were League 1, nevermind the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my limited viewings of him, and he did score twice against us last season, I would say he would strengthen our current squad at centre back. If we manage to acquire someone who is better then all fair and well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Friendly with Dungannon Swifts tomorrow night who are in the Northern Irish Premier League. More importantly are any of their players signed up to Consilium and even more importantly do they play left back or centre back? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moses1924 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Seeing that game against Dungannon reminds me of the trip over for the friendly against Linfield a while back, an interesting evening out that one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had no idea that Tommy Wright was their manager at the time too. I definitely want to see a return of the red top and the white diamond in the photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame it wasn’t organised/announced before now as it’d have been great to go over for it. The sort of outing friendlies should be for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Not sure if he’s still there but I noticed Caolan McAleer who was with us briefly under Bollan is listed in the Dungannon Swifts squad on their website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
