diegomarahenry Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 First season back up for Dunfermline, I’m guessing where you have finished is where you’d have expected to after promotion? Obviously, like most teams in the middle section there will be a frustration that the league is crap and if only you’d got your act together for three weeks in a row you’d be in the promotion play-offs by just now, but mid table and not being seriously involved in the relegation fight, must have been most folks aim ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take it considering we had a poor summer transfer window and very serious injury problems over the winter period.. We must improve next year though. Promotion play-off a minimum and the slow paced cautious stuff from McPake needs stopped. McPake has said we're in for a big summer, so that sounds like change is coming. Not sure how we do that, when a lot of the players we would want to shift have still got a year left. Interesting summer ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly no. I cba putting up the stats again but by and large most title winning league one sides then challenge for the playoffs the following year, outwith Cove last year none have been relegated since the playoffs began so I'm not sure why that would be the concern. We were down in league one for a season, we had the title wrapped up miles in advance so our summer buisness should have been far, far, far better, the aim should've been to go for the playoffs. Airdrie who lost a couple of their better players in the summer and with a fraction of the budget have managed to achieve that, I'm not sure why any Dunfermline fan would be happy about them overturning a 20 odd point deficit. Take Falkirk next year, I'd be absolutely shocked if they were not aiming for the playoffs/title. We just look and feel like a poorly managed football club, off the pitch we're losing money, I don't doubt the manager has a decent budget but we manage to serve up insipid football most weeks. It's been a rubbish season tbh and I'm buzzing to see the back of it. Fair play to the Pars fans heading along, I doff my metaphorical cap to Da_no_1 and the other fans heading along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not been at his best this season but over the piece he’s been a pretty decent keeper with some outstanding saves at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you worry like most of us lower league teams that many of these players may not be there next year re budget( ie others may offer more to loan players ). Or is it a big meh- hopeless Season - good riddance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you at all. But the league is absolutely chock full of rubbish managers. He took Raith to 3rd? On there first season back up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it a big meh- hopeless Season - good riddance? Our problems have been the players we have contracted. All the players we may lose over the summer are probably replaceable to a degree. I’d like to keep Chalmers and Dowds, we know what they are capable of, but we need other options because they are not performing every week. That suggests they are replaceable. Our main issue is being able to identify and sign players that are better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it a big meh- hopeless Season - good riddance? Ideally we can get rid of a couple who are still under contract, release a few who are going to be out of contract and get decent additions in that Brown wants, not anyone else. Everyone fit, I would say our strongest lineup is Clarke, McAllister, Stanger, Musonda, Reading, Murdoch, Dempsey, Chalmers, Murphy, McKenzie, Dowds Replace the players in bold with new signings (may be harsh on Stanger) and sign the players underlined and I think that’s a good base for next season. Also depends what happens with Murdoch if he’s staying or going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
