raith1974 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The squad is starting to take shape with recent signings and another centre half about to sign. We needed changes to defence and midfield and JM has delivered. We look like we will be a big strong physical side which will be hard to beat. I reckon we have a Gk still to sign and either 2 strikers or a striker and a right winger to come in. I'm also saw a young lad who is currently staying at the Strathearn Hotel who I believe may be training with the club. Dingwall done this last season. Build stature etc would suggest an attacking player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yep, if Lennox/another goalie and the French guy sign we’re sorted apart from a couple of strikers and maybe a winger. Lewis Allan is on trial, McGlynn has a loanee in mind, he’s clearly looking for the forwards. He’s got it in hand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 FYI: Noted elsewhere that Aaron Lennox is training with usLennox isn't a bad 'keeper but for a' keeper to be injured as often as he is there's something wrong there. If we start the season with lennox, a 38 (39?) year old mcgurn and Thomson out till January were asking for trouble which normally finds its way to our goalkeeping department without help. Don't think lennox really done that great with Cowden last season although I didn't actually see him play for them.Quite happy with how the squad is shaping up though. Are we likely to challenge Falkirk? No, probably not but realistically were probably aiming for 2nd and if we can mount any sort of title challenge then we certainly have players who are capable of playing in a few different positions and systems to help that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Lyness is officially away, does this just leave us with the witch and an injured Robbie Thomson? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Not too fussed at Lyness leavi g tbh. Aaron is a great bloke who was desperately unlucky with injuries (particularly the DUFC u19 breaking his jaw) and wouldn't be the worst signing.I'm not sure signing another centre half is the best use of resources but if the new French guy comes and it goes well then all good and well. In McGlynn we trust. Hopefully it can all slot nicely into place and gel some by the time the real action starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wee bit unfair perhaps, the injury at Arbroath that finished his last stint was a freak occurance same as Thomson's injury at Stenny and the broken jaw against Dundee It's U19s could have happened just as easily to Cuthbert had he been in goal that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he only played a couple games or so at thistle then was out for a while and I'm sure he had his problems at Cowden, on top of his other injuries whilst with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank conner Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Glad Lyness has gone apart from the second leg of the playoff final he was poor. I would have liked to get Wright back from Rangers certainly not to keen on bringing back Lennox he's injury prone and not particularly good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 The players page seems as up to date as it can be. Three short of our quota of 21 players. Lennox?Allan?Striker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennox?Allan?StrikerA goalie and the French centre half take us to 20. Hopefully two strikers to follow as I think that’s where we’re let down at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Can’t wait to be leading in a game and we get a goal kick, and McGurn does his usual. Punts up to Anderson, which results in him heading it into the net. Cannot. Wait. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 We're putting together a decent L1 squad and the wee team are assembling a cracking L2 team. Good to see the Fife sides really going for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev23 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Season tickets going to fall well below the target of 1000. 660 so far and with the first friendly only 10 days away, I doubt that'll increase much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Aaron Lennox training with us according the FFP article about Lyness leavingHope he’s just training and that’s it. You could put Lennox, Lyness and Thomson in goals all at once and still concede. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
