buchan30 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Happens every single year, without fail. Remember some fans boooing the team off after a defeat to East Fife a couple of years ago. Went on to have our best league finish in almost 20 years. I wasn't booing, but i remember being fuming at mckinnon for just standing there with his hands in his pockets after such an abject performance. Thought it was setting the tone for the season, how wrong i was.Pre season use to be all about getting fitness up, getting tactics sorted, but know they have integrated the league cup with it, we have less time to get things right for what will be a tough group. Think that's maybe why theres a bit of panic and frustration creeping in, possibly mixed with the hangover from last season as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I thought he was out for a bit longer yet with that nasty injury he picked up last year. Anyway, players giving it back to fans is excellent and should be encouraged. Especially at friendlies. That sort of thing is wonderful entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Anyway going by last nights performances..McLaren( No.2 trialist) was never in the gameMcMullin(No.3 trialist) could be a decent addition. Was probably our best player going forward at times yesterday. Didn't make any mistakes defensively either. Already an upgrade on McHattie. Although McHattie was in the stand yesterday and he came over to speak to a Rovers fan sitting 2 rows in front, and if I heard him properly... he's expecting to sign next week.. hopefully I mis-heard him though. If he was expecting to sign, you'd think he would have played as a trialist yesterday as well.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 If Sean Mackie is being dished out on loan, I wouldn't have minded a look at him for the left back slot. I don't think McHattie is a terrible player but I'm pretty unsettled about the fact we appear to be keeping more of a relegated team than we did McKinnon's side that finished 4th so convincingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Obviously you've established that it's not him but just to confirm, Sonsteam is correct about Conor Pepper still being injured and he won't be signing for anyone this summer. He injured his knee in February 2016, was close to returning in December, then the same knee went in a development game and that was the end of his season. We offered him the use of training facilities while he returns to fitness but he's still not close to it and can't afford to stay in Scotland without a club, so he's returned to Ireland for now as he probably won't be fit again until January. It's a real shame for him, but if he does get himself fit again he'd be an excellent signing for anyone in League One. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's definitely the case then we simply don't have the players to go out and play 4-4-2 every week, and barely enough central midfielders to play 3 in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Looks like we will be forced into playing some of the youngsters quite frequently then. Might be a disaster or a triumph. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
