I think after his recruitment this season, he deserves to sign who he thinks will do a job tbh as he hasn’t wasted a single £ this season in terms of who he’s kept on last year or signed in both windows. In John we trust & get the naked calendars bought
@gav-ffc knew all along.

Looks like Oliver has been signed up for next season.
Wasn’t desperate to see him moved on but I do think the money could maybe have been used for another option in that position given he hasn’t been good enough to start in league 1, so I’m not convinced he’ll pull up trees a league up.
I can see the versatility point of view but I was hoping McGlynn would have been more ruthless than that.

We've all mentioned the positions we feel need strengthened in the summer but what kind of attributes would you like to see us improve on.
Just like how last summer Swinney was on Falkirk daft talking about how we needed more power, aggression and pace.
For me it's creativity, composure & experience.

So what’s the general opinion? Will we do it this weekend, or against Montrose? Or later?
I think it'll be this weekend, Cove need to pick up points as otherwise Montrose/Alloa will pip them to the playoff spots.
Cove won the last home game against them 1-0 in November and although Hamilton won the other two matches there wasn't much in the games.

It's mentioned on Falkirk daft how much McGlynn lives and breathes football and how much his fine lady must detest him for it.
I made the trip through to Alloa on Sunday to watch the U18's and around 5 minutes before the game started in strolls super John McGlynn in his finest Sunday clobber(bunnet and all) with his fine lady following behind him.
Just hope he treated her to something from the lidl bakery after the game.

The hardest thing this pre season is thinking which positions need improved and thus which players in what is a record breaking team close to all our hearts get replaced.
Makes a difference from us fighting over which of the numerous diddies we want punted first.
Starting GK
Left sided CB
CM
Starting 10
Starting ST

On a side note, how's Ryan Shanley been getting on with you lot?
As mentioned we've not seen much of him but he looks similar to MacIver in that his link up plays excellent but he lacks that killer instinct to put chances away.

Bit left field here but what's the script with Steven Warnock, I remember him being hyped up in the press a few years ago with a possible move down south and he had a decent loan spell at Edinburgh last year but appears to have done nothing this season?
Thought he'd have been out on loan again this season proving himself like Bobby Wales.

Better than both, I’d suggest.
Exactly, to progress we should be aiming to better the starting 11.

Yeats and any 2 of Oliver, Hogarth and Ross I reckon
Everytime Oliver's started he's shown why Nesbitt is preferred to him. We need better next season.

Best starting 11 from the start, get the game won then ring the changes.
Long
Yeats Donaldson Hendo Mccann
Spencer Tait
Morrison Nesbitt Miller

Anyone any ideas who the three players are that have been offered contracts according to McGlynn, I'd imagine Yeats will be one, Ross? Oliver? On a side note Allan is doing his chances of getting a move no harm at Clyde another two goals yesterday 7 in 9 games.
Where was this mentioned?
Hopefully Hogarth, Yeats and Ross. Tait's under contract for another year at Hibs but hopefully we can bring him back in the summer too.

At the time, I didn't think the McIvor miss was that glaring.
In fact I couldn't even recall the incident at first when people were mentioning it on here. I just thought it was too high for him and he couldn't quite get above it. Are people suggesting it was a comfortable header and he just popped it up and over?
Looked to me like he jumped far too early for it and so got caught underneath it when the ball actually came to him.
He's one of the best in the air we've ever had but he has those sitters in him.

Hopefully, the boy gives 110% every game, deserves to be a starter. However, sometimes money talks for players.
Just hasn't worked out for him here, with him performing so well with you lot it may be he has a fair few clubs after him in the summer.
As Bairnardo mentioned I'd imagine we'll want to move him on in the summer so it'll be up to whether he wants to leave or keep collecting a full time wage.

I joked that Hartley would send Lawal straight back to Falkirk for the tunnel antics after our game the other day but as he's not been in the last two squads I'm starting to think he actually has.
Who's got the inside scoop?

Anyone know what time the academy games are today? We seem to have removed the tweet announcing when all the games were.

I loved Hendo the most.

Tait looked absolutely gubbed in the second half but so would Mo Farah playing centre midfield with McGinn in his condition. His range of passing was still on point though, naughty wee lofty wedges over the top of their defence.

Anyway. The game was a bit bizarre. We dominated for 40 minutes, missed glorious chances and then were slow out the blocks for the first 10 second half.
It shook us into action and the pass from McIver to Morrison for the equaliser shows what he brings to the side.
Mcglynn brings on Spencer and Nesbitt and we take over.
The high line Bartley played was always going to get found out by us.
5 points to go. Will Hamilton lose at Cove? They have to now now for us to win it next weekend. Montrose looking favourite now.Even if they draw we can win the league with a win next weekend.

Connelly's quality is there. Sadly it's completely stifled by a clueless manager. Be surprised if he doesn't get a Championship gig next season.
Flatters to deceive all too often for me, Agyeman has better numbers than that for us and he's hardly been seen the last 3/4 months.
Not to mention he's our 4th choice winger at the moment.

Is Lee Connelly out of contract in the summer by chance? Just wondering.
We'll have better quality to pick from than Lee Connelly.

There was contact, it wasn't enough to take him down but if he doesn't go down it's not given as a penalty. Wouldn't say it was a dive why should he stay on his feet there?

Was almost a carbon copy of the last game at Palmerston. Dominated the first half but didn't take our chances, MacIver misses a sitter of a header.
Thankfully their goal kicked us into action, can get Ross signed up for next season now please John.

Oliver from the start, let's see how much he deserves a new deal.

He's being signed as a squad player who can play in 3(4 at a push) positions in McGlynn's 4-2-3-1 but absolutely we need to improve on the starting 11 this summer.
GK, 10 and ST being the priority.
Do you think you'll make the playoffs?
