ATLIS Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Josh Mullin signs his 2 year extension, decent tbh. Let's start using him properly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Annoying they haven't done announcements for the new contracts yet. I believe the below are the players out of contract although I don't have confirmation of Pignatiello and Tiffoney signing a 'x-year deal' at any point so have put them as (?). Future Unclear Maley, Lithgow, Serrano (Loan), Ambrose, Taylor-Sinclair, Diani (Loan), Lawson, De Vita, Pignatiello (?), Stewart, Tiffoney (?) Unlikely to stay Robinson, Emmanuel-Thomas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'd imagine that puts us somewhere here in terms of a starting XI for next season. I'm just hoping we're 433 and not our stupid asymmetrical formation where we drop Forrest/Mullin for Holt Weak points there are Fitzwater and maybe Hamilton depending on how he steps up. Generally speaking I'd say that's a squad strong enough to stay up based on starting XI alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wrong Car Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Fitzwater seems to have a tendency to be good 80% of the time, and horrific the rest. If Ambrose is leaving it would be good to get another CB in for competition, rather than just players that can cover there. With Holt, McMillan and possibly Diani as first team options, the squad looks in good shape. A backup keeper, LB/LCB (possibly Diani and/or Obileye) and a striker are the main aims, with anyone else probably brought in to cover players out on loan. All in all, not the worst position to be in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 That’s fantastic news of Mullin’s extension. Now, if Martindale would fucking play him, that would be great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 The core of the squad will still be here next year, and it looks as if it should be strong enough to stay up even if we don't bring in more quality. A new left back, a backup CB, a backup keeper and a striker are probably needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Yep, Guthrie and Devlin’s extensions are done. Decent core but a few wasters needing dumped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 If we hadn’t went on that big run earlier in the season then surely a few questions would be getting asked. One win in our last 12 is shocking form for any team excluding Brechin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Wee bit more encouraged after the second half showing tonight, but the damage was done in the first half with the mental decision to play a back three of Ambrose, Lithgow and Guthrie and have them sit relatively high. Fucking bewildering. I'm quite conflicted as to how I feel about our current run since the cup semi-final - on one hand, we have turned in some absolutely horrific performances (away to Dundee Utd, the cup final itself, Motherwell away and the trip to Parkhead), but on the other, have we actually lost a game in that stretch where you'd have said it's a 'should' win? On paper, the teams we've played and not beat in this stretch either have squads of a similar calibre to ours (Motherwell, St Johnstone, Dundee Utd?), or are superior in quality, so it's hardly a surprise that reality is catching up with us. The cup final has obviously had a massive effect mentally, as you'd expect, but I'm a bit concerned Martindale, as of yet, hasn't managed to land on any effective line-up in the two months since. I also don't think it's a surprise we have looked off it since Robinson dialled it in. We've obviously lost key players in the preceding two summers in this position, but this one is by far and away the biggest of the lot (so far). A massive one for Martindale to hopefully get right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) This weekend and next weekend are huge. 3 Scottish Cup wins from Hibs, Rangers and Aberdeen and we can be almost certain of 5th place making Europe. The following weekend, we play Aberdeen at home while St. Johnstone are away to Hibs. If we better their result, we are very likely to finish 5th place. If we don't, I'm far from confident we will.

ATLIS Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 This is such a far out, gamble of a punt but I'd take Kieron Bowie in on loan for next season. Scoring goals for fun in Fulham's U19s, tall and physical striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy.1995 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Fantastic player.Turned us around.But on the bigger picture Bingham for me ,what a player.Had the ability to turn a game on its head on his own.On so many Occasions when we struggled he turned up trumps to get us over the winning line.And I've got video evidence to prove it.But Fernández was exceptionall.Both legends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not finishing 5th. And even if we do, we’re not making Europe. Bit deflated after those results this weekend. Season well and truly petering out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Season over. Hibs wont win the Scottish Cup so we've no Europe to fight for. Ah well, a decent season nonetheless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
