For all his flaws, I would still much prefer Davo to Chris Higgins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with that as he is a quality defender 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Does anyone know what the status of the Reserve side is for this upcoming season?We took part in the nine-team Reserve League 2 last year, but this tweet from the Shire suggests we might not be this time around. It's not definitive, there could easily be another team added, but there are nine there already.I don't think an approach to the Reserves was mentioned in Bill Clark's interview, but I could be wrong. I'd be interested to hear what the plans are for the younger players in the squad, who aren't likely to get many first team minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 If we're running a squad of 21/22 I can't see us having a reserve team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 2 hours ago, Been going too long said: You forgot spencer mate, agree though not bad but hopefully a few more to add And Watson too. Highly irrelevant but I know but If we had a friendly to play today I'd start with; McGurn Watson, McKay, Bene, Macdonald Spencer, Henry, Matthews, Anderson, Bowie and Victoria. Obviously Vaughan and Dingwall would feature if fit but it'd still be a decent team. Still required; A keeper (on 6month loan? or pick up a part time guy) A right back Winger/midfielder 2 strikers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Squad currently sitting at 17. Thomson (injured until January, best case) McGurn Watson Benedictus Davidson McKay MacDonald Matthews Spencer Hendry Tait Anderson Victoria Dingwall (injured until August, best case) Vaughan (injured until August, best case) Smith Tait 22 was mentioned as a total squad number, so around five to play with. One has to be a goalie, regardless of whether Lyness signs. Would say need two strikers, so two left. Michael Miller has been mentioned as effectively signed, a CM/CB/RB. So one left. We really need someone who can play LB as well as somewhere else, in the Murray mould, as currently it’ll be McKay or Watson out of position at LB if MacDonald missed a game. The specialist RB looking like a pipe dream at this moment in time, unless we’re running with 21/22 plus loanees.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of the bigger clubs ditching the reserve league, I agree loaning the boys out would be more beneficial to them and us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSDR 88 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I don’t think this has been suggested, but what about Anderson at RB? Was it not McKinnon that played him there when Thomson was out injured? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not McKinnon that played him there when Thomson was out injured? Our problems lay last season because we played players out of position at full back. You’re suggesting the solution may be... to play a player out of position, at full back, next season? [emoji848] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Not sure you can class Tait and Bowie as part of the 21/22 they are modern apprentices who are still very much learning the game. So I would say we have 15 with 6 to come in. That will include a keeper, 2 strikers, possibly another centre midfielder who is likely to be Michael Miller as I've heard it's a done deal then 2 more for defensive cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We made a mistake re-signing Davo, wage would have been better spent on a right back. I would also like to see a big commanding centre half come in, someone who just commands the penalty box and none of our centre halfs have done that recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not McKinnon that played him there when Thomson was out injured? He'd be an ideal candidate for wing-back, certainly much better than a converted centre half. But as part of a back four, no. We need actual full backs! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I think I'll have a meltdown if we continue to do anything other than sign a proper right back. I genuinely think we'll start the season with McKay there in all honesty. And it will continue to be rotten. That isn't Dave's fault (much in like how we had no width when Matthews kept getting shoehorned in as a winger). It's just down to the system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
