Livilion28 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Crawford won’t play ahead of the players we have midfield. I think there’s something going on with Byrne , since he’s been sent off he’s started maybe 2-3 games max. He’s been one of our most valuable players this season up until his sending off and now he’s hardly playing at all. Was disappointed at end of the game today that the players never came back out to thank the fans for this season. Would have been good to give Halkett and Gallacher a send off and maybe other players that might leave. Poor organisation imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor organisation imo Crawford could get a game anywhere outside the top four Already turned down moves to SPL and England still only 24 Your classic holding player but can also operate effectively on the left off midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something for the right price comes up, surely we'd ask about Shankland but can't see it happening at all. Crawford is a shout but wages probably a stumbling block Championship players worked last time its a good market Lots off boys at a lot off different teams are free and could do a job Ryan Williamson at Pars would be good if he dont go to Hibs or Bristol City Derby Edited May 11, 2019 by Tartan Tammy 1297 Clarity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can get internationalists i.e. Dolly Menga and Steve Lawson in on about 600 p/w whereas 1k p/w gets you the likes of Ziggy Gordon and Fraser Fyvie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 That's Elliott away from Thistle. Not a given he's going to you but seems unlikely he'd knock us back so quickly unless he had something else lined up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 22 hours ago, ATLIS said: For what it's worth, this is who I'd let go of for next season (+ not get back on loan) De Vita, Miller, Erskine, Lamie, Wylde, Hardie, Brown, Cadden, Crane, Knox and Blues - obviously with Halkett and Gallagher gone Lamie, I think, would offer adequate enough cover at CB and LB and his early season form showed enough to warrant another season here at least. It's a bit harsh on De Vita given the injury he picked up and I still think he can offer something centrally off a striker, as he did towards the end of last season. He is absolutely finished as a wide man though and should be nowhere near the LWB slot, as yesterday perfectly displayed. Can't disagree with the rest. Had hoped Miller would offer something but I can't see him wanting to be a bit-part player behind Dykes and others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to look to the future and not get caught up, absolutely love Raffa but could the wage be used better elsewhere? Absolutely. Might work better as a CF but honestly can we gamble on it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livilion28 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Doesn’t stand out at reserves? Give me a break! The reserves is totally different to playing with a first team. Very harsh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very harsh Exactly, it's night and day. Which is why any players worth playing the first team stands out, i.e. Odoffin, Hamilton, Byrne, Hardie and even McMillan have stood out when they play there. Wylde, Knox, De Vita all haven't and seemed to fade away into those games being largely ineffective. If you're struggling to affect the game at that level then you should be nowhere near the first team, and rightly so 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livilion28 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Reserve games are no where near the same so you can’t judge that at all. Rafa has another year so he will be there next season. So does Lamie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Hoppy's just taken the managers job at Morton. Makes me kinda sad. It's a shame it didn't work out in Bradford for him, but that's entirely on the board. Hope he gets another crack at the bigtime after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Is Hopkin’s style long ball or was that the one that just worked to get you lot out of the Championship? I’m not fussed either way if it means winning games but just wondering if he does actually have a preferred playing style and formation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not fussed either way if it means winning games but just wondering if he does actually have a preferred playing style and formation. Anything I saw of Bradford they played a different system to us but were still very much about getting the ball forward quickly. Doesn't like to play in his own half. Hope he does well for Morton unless against us[emoji23]. Took him a wee while to get things right at Livi though so hopefully Morton stick with him of things are slow starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghLivi Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Christie Elliot has signed for Carlisle. I think we have dodged a bullet there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livilion28 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 what positions do we think we need? Obviously 2 centre backs to replace Dec and halks. A striker to replace Hardie? We are very strong in middle of the park with Lawson Byrne Pitts and Keags. Although don’t know if all off them will be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
