Diamonds are Forever Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Can sign me up for the 'something seems a bit off' with Dycey leaving at this point, but no point speculating without any idea. Looking forward, we've needed to properly recruit in that area for 3 seasons now. McCabe played virtually a full-season there under Murray, ATS played most of last season there, and then this season ATS, McCabe, Ballantyne and Janny all took turns. It's testament to Fordyce's ability and experience that he's basically had converted midfielders and full-backs playing along side him the last 3 years and we've still been succesful, and he's been excellent. I hope this forces us to properly recruit in this area and stop relying on temporary fixes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond_for_life Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Feels like a boot in the baws to lose our best centre back especially when he is one we expected to be around with Rhys till they moved on together down the line. I have faith in the manager 100% but it made me really think that there is no guarantee we keep a hold of anyone right now and the unknown is more worrying than knowing and planning ahead. This season was unreal but I can’t help feel anxious and uneasy over what’s to come the next few weeks. For a good few seasons it was “who can we bring in”. Right now it’s “f**k who could be away next”. Strange feeling and one I’m certainly not used to. Edited May 26 by diamond_for_life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems too much of a coincidence. Anyway, so much for me not speculating... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 If we were to sign Fordyce what kind of CH are we getting. We need physicality at the back, we are too soft at losing cheap goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need physicality at the back, we are too soft at losing cheap goals. You'd be getting a guy that would header his granny out the way if he had too. He's solid, can tackle and reads the game well but his pace lacks a bit and isn't going to improve. We will miss him but I'm far from joining the mood on here that it spells disaster for the club. If there has been a falling out then no player is bigger than the club and the manager has final say. Sad but still onwards and upwards and best of luck Dycey. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be hard to replace. This is a blow, no sense trying to put a gloss on that. Big boots to fill for whoever takes that centre back berth for next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray will be going round the clubs trying to take their best players,aye a lot of good individual players sitting on the bench ,He seemed well out his depth yesterday ,getting them to play as a team is beyond him , 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage Monkey Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 My concern here is that last summer, it was clear that we had only one recognised centre back in Fordyce. The fans could see it, and surely Rhys could see it. He simply had to be looking for a back-up centre back all summer and found none. I don't feel that there are an abundance of players in this position of the quality of Dycey, he is going to be hard to replace, and ideally we need two, not just one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or him and Rhys had a fallout because he had already signed a precontract with Raith... If he does go to Raith don't grudge him the chance to make some money, he's a big loss and not on I was expecting to move but plenty tme to find a replacement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
