Scottydog Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I’ve no feeling either way about any of the names mentioned tbh. The only thing with Loy that bothers me wasn’t he a bit injury prone? Or am I thinking of someone else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 A full back is on a hiding to nothing if he's having a nightmare. At CB you can be bailed out by the other CB if youmake an error, but at full back you're on a hiding to nothing. Of course the nearest CB *could* cover for you, but then some very large gaps appear... I think Watson still has a lot to learn and maybe isn't quite ready yet. Would definitely be more comfortable with a RB signing as well. We already have Davidson, Murray, Bene and McKay as players who are experienced at this level in defence. If we are going with a first team squad of 16, then I think we should concentrate on midfield and forward positions for our signings at this time. The midfield is the area I’d be focusing on at this time. I’d also be looking at making sure two of the midfielders were sort of utility players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Either Barry Smith is talking utter shite here or he was fibbing massively when he said they were struggling to outbid part-time clubs. Loy and Cardle especially would be great signings but none of the four would be cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, managers love trying to make it out the world is against their club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Thompson, amongst others, were offered contacts and signed for part time clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Flood and Gillespie are essentially the same player. Flood is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Gillespie played a lot for Hamilton at right back as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Regardless of these cases we have been struggling to outbid part time clubs. Jason Thompson, amongst others, were offered contacts and signed for part time clubs. I think that’s a different case, in that it involves a footballer with an education in another field who was already looking into the PT game. In terms of what we’re offering wage wise compared to the part-time teams, I’d imagine it’s more. Not necessarily significantly, but a club with 1500 fans is surely offering more than a club with around 1000? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 A part timer on a 40 hour minimum wage contract will already pcoket £16k, so only needs £100 a week from football to be earning somewhere near our alleged full time rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Not fussed may become a good player with regular games, but struck me as being a yard too slow to be good at this level. A strong centre half will dominant him in the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Last season was really his chance with us and he didn't take it/never got a look in depending on who you ask. He was rightly released in my view. A physical presence, but didn't see much more than that from him when he played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spot on Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 He will ruffle up more defenders and pick up more bookings than he will score goals but good luck to him. Will be interesting how he plays against Davo and Bene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kdawg Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Will be playing in the juniors in a couple of years. Tried hard but doesn’t have any pace or enough ability to cut it. Even in the seaside league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
