I actually said he'd end up at Alloa and would be a fantastic partner for Spence on here a few weeks back. He's not the most lethal of strikers but he works his arse off and will win a lot of headers. He didn't get the praise he deserved this season for us. All the best to him. Delighted that Gary has signed on for another season as long as we keep Irvine and Brown too. Now it's down to who we can bring in. I'll be delighted if we keep Syme as I reckon our back 4 at the end of the season were doing well. It's the attacking side of things where we really need to improve and I expect another load of loans from Hearts to augment our team. There must still be some decent players released who would want to play with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Great news that Gary has decided to stay. Jobs are few and far between and if he does a decent job he will get touted for bigger jobs even top league 1 or low level championship teams. Gutted Renton is away. Top guy and done very well for us. Signings I would imagine rumbsy and syme would be our priorities as that partnership wouldnt leak many goals. Pyper will sign on again for sure. As someone has said swann/muirhead could be used more this season for me. They have talent and remind me of when robbo/linton/brett came into team unknown they needed games and once they got it started to show how good and comfortable they can be in the first team. Gonna be a lot of players around as usual its obviously gonna mean we have a few misses in our signings but if Gary can make more hits thats the important thing. Id say 6-7 signings needed - we need 4-5 good uns unlike foxs signings more than 50% were pish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Quite glad Gary has stayed on, with the level we are at we wouldn't attract anyone better. My only concern is his record of recruitment is absolutely abysmal but surely it cant be any worse than Fox's! From what I've seen I'm of the opinion that we need wholesale changes in personnel. We have lost our two best outfield players (the strikers) and it was clear to me that the vast majority of that squad aren't good enough. Gutted to lose Renton - to think some fans gave him stick ffs. Agree that Syme and Rumbsy with Sneddon in goals would be a great start. That aside I am struggling to think of another player currently in the squad that would/should a starter. Pyper cant be considered a viable option at this level. Miller needs to move on as he is going backwards, screams of someone needing a fresh start. Mullen is so meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NELLY Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think mullen will stay and at times looks ok. His attitude on the park is shit though. Good thing about mullen is he can play 2 or 3 positions we need boys like that in our squad. Miller will sign again. Pyper too. New left back for me - 2 strikers/wide left and wide right with a couple of centre mids required also. Loans will again be important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually coming on to a game towards the end of the season and I'd be happy with him staying. Surely we won't be lucky enough to keep Sneddon again?

Rutherford is weak defensively and a hit or a miss going forward. dont know where mo yaquib went last season but I would sign him if we had a realistic chance.

His touch was terrible at times because he was too tired from constantly having to jump for hoofballs. He wasn't great at playing with the ball on the ground. Maybe at Alloa he will up his fitness. Good luck to him. Muirhead would be my choice to replace him, as long as we don't keep humping it forward all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
