baillieinleeds Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 We have to believe, 3 seasons in this bloody abyss is torture. If McGlynn has shown that kind of faith then that’s good enough for me. Oh and btw I was never seething about Murray and Nisbet leaving. And now Gillespie. Absolutely chuffed about McKay. It’ll be a big season for him and one he’ll totally excell in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before hard work is all well and good but you need quality to go up and I don't see from the signings and re-signings, Hendry and McKay apart, that we're going to be anywhere near good enough. Time will tell and I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it. Hendry and Spencer are good signings. Macdonald can't be worse than any left back we've had in a few years. Our midfield already looks far more mobile and far more combative and probably better on the ball than last season. Victoria I think will be pretty handy out wide, he's McGlynns idea of a winger, sheer power over silky passing. Looked dangerous last season against us. I'd class him as an interesting gamble. McKay signing back on is good. Davo is Davo, but there is an opportunity to balance the defence better. Ando was a better player than his final ball reputation deserved and still stung us last year. A game changer? Probably not. A bigger influence than Flanagan? Certainly. We also still have Vaughan and Dingwall who will provide quality on the ball. We need to bring in forwards, a right back another centre mid and a keeper. Then if we can get a loan or two we'll be no worse certainly than the team that started last season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how many of the players that we've either released or fans are happy to see leave have or look likely ending up at higher league clubs. Not necessarily a berometer of ability but surely would show given the right management should have been successful with us. Davidson will start next season guaranteed alongside Benedictus. He's not being signed on as a coach but as a full time defender. He should not be anywhere near the starting 11 and going by this McGlynn comments that's where he'll be. Amazed at the lack of concern from the fans at the state of the squad. Pining hopes on the same defence and 2 players both of whom have or will be coming back from serious long term injuries and who won't have kicked a ball competitively for months. No thanks to Gillespie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Actually, big Nat vacating the midfield berth for Matthews WILL make the defence harder to get at it must be said McGlynn must think so too. If you run through the regular goalies/defenders from last season, he’s offered deals to Lyness, Davidson, Benedictus and McKay, attempted to keep Crane, and Thomson/Murray were already under contract. Wedderburn is the only one he’s actively tried to shake. So why did he always play? It’s odd, really. I’m McGlynn’s biggest fan, I’m broadly content with the players we’re bringing in, but I’ve no idea at all what he’s playing at with the defence. If we can end up with a new RB, McKay/Bene and MacDonald, with McGurn or a new goalie behind them, I’ll be pretty happy with that. Lyness, McKay at RB, Bene/Davo, MacDonald? Well, Grant Anderson probably sums it up best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondatheart Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I think the reason there’s a general lack of concern about the squad is because it’s THE 14th OF JUNE! McGlynn is doing exactly what McGlynn does. He’s bringing in solid, hard working players that will run and fight for 90 minutes and won’t shit the bed when the pressure is on. It won’t be pretty but it’ll be effective. MacDonald will do 90 mins of running easy, Be lucky if Victoria runs a whole 9 mins of 90 min game and as for trying ha [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon_The_Fife Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Great news for the rest of the teams in this league with Davidson signing on again. If starting play from the back is a 30 yard punt to nobody then he’s your man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the last game against East Fife, I threw out a tweet about someone gathering his tears to intravenously inject. He put out a fuming tweet a few minutes later which I screenshot and attach on. I forget about it and enjoy my Saturday evening. The season rumbles on and less than an hour after full time at Dumfries, he's quoted my tweet trying to get it up me. And then he's brought it up again today for some reason. I'm still unsure on what council tax band I'm on for residing in his head, but it's nice to know I'm important to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've just realised he's put out an absolute belter of a tweet to @McGuigan1978 to carry on his meltdown.

WSDR 88 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Does anyone know what’s up with Dingwall? Is he signed on for another year? I see he keeps getting mentioned but I thought it was only to the summer (now). What’s his injury? May have just missed it in the twitter updates. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an operation 3/4 weeks ago and IIRC will be available the same time as Vaughan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
