This time next week, we'll still be feeling the reverberations from the laughter of everyone else once our board appoints whichever living fossil of a manager manages to string enough syllables together to "interview well". The week after that, the championship clubs will have raked over the bones of this seasons' decent, under contract players, as we "cannae stand in their way, eh". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I'd be willing to stick my neck out and say that Andy Geggan, Ross Docherty and Paul Cairney are comfortably the 3 best midfielders in League 1 at the minute. All 3 of those players were probably comfortably the 3 worst midfielders in the championship this season yet are comfortably the 3 best in League 1? Geggan was absolutely rancid for the Pars in CM at the start of this season. Docherty and Cairney were starting in comfortably the worst team in the championship this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that we've almost assembled a full squad and Raith haven't got a manager yet is pleasing from an Ayr fans point of view. I think it's a decent signing in league 1. But on that point I would say, he couldn't get a game in midfield for Dunfermline for most of the season. He really only played RB for them because they didn't have any decent option there and he was the captain. As I say, a good player who I'd happily have seen back at Sons but I also think a player who isn't as influential as he once was. I know, I know... He will win player of the year next year now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Callachan will hopefully be our other starting centre mid next season. He will also be more than capable as well. I can't see a championship team go for the likes of Spencey.. Would like to think we'll speak to him. Another player, that I would love to see us bring back is Grant Anderson which I can't see any Championship team approach either. Why do our fans always want to bring back previous players. Yes Spence scores goals but I'm sure there are butter out there and Anderson only has pace no end product. Let's move on and hopefully build a decent team to challenge Ayr who have so far brought in a couple of decent additions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name a better 25 goal a season striker for League one than Greig Spence that you can realistically see us getting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 You will struggle to find two sides with as little fight or creativity as Rovers and Ayr last season. To say with any certainty that those two midfields will any way be a standout at any level is ridiculous to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typicalrovers Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 "New strategy". What a joke. There'll be nothing new. Going nowhere with the current board. Any manager or player making their mark isn't going to hang around with us. Small time and amateurish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 So it's definitely not Easton, Campbell or Aitken. Its unlikely to be Hartley or Lennon but it might be Bollan or Young? Jesus H Christ I'm holding on to the hope there is something surprising from the left field as another option, something similar to a Calderon maybe, though knowing us it'll turn out to be another Anelka. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornbeef Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Can understand the lack of enthusiasm for Bollan. I wonder how the paper can report he's the 'front runner' ? Who the feck could be trailing behind him ? (Dick Campbell seems to be a non runner ) I think i'd be happier to see Danny Lennon as one of the favourites - but he'd be reluctant to apply if he's already been passed over (twice ? As I've mentioned in a previous post -managers are a bit of a lottery...maybe Bollan would do just fine for you. On the subject of players who'd do a job in league one... I was thinking that Lawrence Shankland would probably do very well. He obviously has higher aspirations but he's already failed to impress at St Mirren and Morton. I think there's a very good L1 player in there and if he can motivate himself - who knows ? He could yet end up at Dumbarton or another championship side and would no doubt come back to haunt us Edited May 25, 2017 by cornbeef 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Andy Geggan and Michael Moffat? I'll pass thanks. I'd have taken Geggan. Did he really go to Ayr? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Both of them are effective players at that level I'd have taken them. If we're talking league 1 players mcmanus is the epitome of a league 1 player. Such a frustrating player though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to stick my neck out and say Matthews callachan and Vaughan are easily 3 of the best midfielders in that league. That's before we even get onto the subject of Bobby Barr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
