On the move to full time, obviously McGlynn having more time with the players and access to a larger pool of talent are the main benefits. However, I was told last year something that annoyed Scott Boyd was how much time the first team took up of ‘peak’ rental time for the pitch by training at night on Tuesday and Thursday. With the team training during the day now it frees up extra rental space and revenue from the pitch at night through the week. Might not sound like much but I’m sure over the year it will add up.

Are we going to get a cup run as well like we did under Murray? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I'd be disappointed with 6th. There's no Hearts or Dundee and I expect us to be harder to beat than last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Can you watch the games online again this season with your season ticket number? I’ve bought my season ticket but I can’t make the game today.

There's no Hearts or Dundee and I expect us to be harder to beat than last season. We’ve lost a few key players. It’s all about whether McGlynn can make a team out of what he’s signed. Keatings is an excellent player for this level but he’s had injuries. Same with Vaughan. If they stay fit we’ll do okay and get goals. If not, who is getting goals? You would hope the likes of Zanatta and Connolly could chip in, but realistically, how many will they score? Midfield is where we’re missing quality. Losing Hendry and Armstrong is difficult to make up for. They also added goals and assists. Matthews being out injured is a blow too. Hopefully Tait can fulfil his potential and be our key player in midfield. Leaving out the young guys who have little to no experience, we only have 17 players. That’s a thin squad and we already have injuries to some of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 We've good players to come back from injury. As for the midfield I think we'll be fine, to think we had King in there, and I reckon the forward line will be better without Duku and Ugwu. As for the fancied teams they're rebuilding too and how they will do is mere speculation. I expect us to be comfortably top four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingers are one short and up front we are still one short and any striker coming in needs to be a target man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t say Tait as that’s ridiculous I don't recall the midfield struggling when Hendry was out injured or suspended. PS - I wasn't going to say Tait, but explain why Tait in midfield would be ridiculous. Is any midfield player who's not called Hendry going to be "ridiculous?!?" You need to get over Hendry, and stop your "ridiculous" overstatements. Edited July 3, 2021 by Raith_Raver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 21 is the same young left back filling in for Liam Dick who played 90 minutes (I think?) midweek but isn't here for the second Saturday in a row. Number 18 is the same winger who came on against Stranraer and Clyde and didn't have much of an impact. Number 16 isn't Leo Donnellan who played the last two friendlies. No idea who this new guy is, don't recognise him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
