Rhys in his post match interview alluded to the fucking about at the back and it doesn't look like changing. I only heard the short interview so I'll need to consider his views carefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 9 hours ago, Diamonds are Forever said: It's difficult because you are signing a guy that you hope never actually plays, so how much of your playing budget do you invest in that position? But as we saw last season an injury to Rae and suddenly there are real problems. We played the emergency loan system beautifully last season but being up a league makes it harder as your pool of players shrinks but also the quality of the loanee needs to be higher. Even in terms of signing a 2nd choice, any good goalies are signed up to be first choice somewhere, who is going to come in and be 2nd choice all season? It's a difficult one. I assume as well that an emergency loan can only last a minimal amount of time. So if Rae was to get another long-term injury we’d either have to play Hutton or sign a youngster on a longer-term loan (who probably won’t be as good as one available on an emergency loan) or a dafty like Dean Lyness. Neither of which is ideal. I suppose Rae getting injured isn’t that likely but it’s not impossible obviously. Presumably none of the academy goalkeepers are deemed ‘ready’ since we never see them on the bench and it’s Liam Prunty who warms up with Rae + Hutton rather than any of them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out and he can finally put a proper run of games together.

airdrieman Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Saw McCabe possibly hinting at making a few changes to the team tomorrow. Not sure there’s much scope to do that without largely reducing the quality of the starting XI other than Todorov for Gal, O’Connor for McGregor and maybe Telfer for Aiken, assuming Devenny is getting the cotton wool treatment. I certainly wouldn’t risk anyone who’s not 100% fit but equally we should be going up there looking to play as strong a team as possible and win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgindiamond Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Did a similar journey in reverse a good number of times in the 80’s/90’s and 2000’s. Best moment was sharing a chip shop queue with a bus load of unhappy Ross County supporters in Aviemore after our Cup Final win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny_m Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Another rotation with the team selection tonight but still no Devenny. He's either carrying a knock or these Crystal Palace rumours might just be true! Edited July 25, 2023 by Kenny_m 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
