pub car king Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Also away friendlies due to the building work, will we ask for away game(s) at the start of the season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whatever its called cup requires us to play 2 home and 2 away games anyway, i'm sure we can arrange it so we start with the away games if needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last year we had most of a midfield, we're worried about having to make do with Gullan up front and had to rebuild centre of defence. Last year we at least had McDonald and Berra at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Spencer has the option of signing, doesn't he? I am hoping he has interest elsewhere tbh as he was mince in the latter part of the season. However, if he wants to stay then there's nothing we can do. Hopefully he wasn't offered one of those daft McGlynn contracts. I am not convinced we offered Lang anything. Both he and Nolan were absent from the initial report that came via Scott Burns. It could be that he indicated he did not want to stay, or perhaps Murray just didn't feel he was the right player, who knows. I'd have kept Lang personally, but you won't find any arguments that our defence needs to be improved. That can only be done by bringing in new players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McGlynn wasn’t here last summer he went to Falkirk and I think he started talks when Ian Murray got appointed as Murray said he would talk to Brad about staying so it would’ve been a full new contract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel pretty indifferent about him leaving though. After the came back from injury, he was a bit too fond of a rash challenge - too risky when our squad was down to the bare bones. Kinda how I feel too, Lang had a few tremendous games for us but like you say not the same player after the ACL. I'm sure there is still a very good CB in him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interested to see where he ends up in a few years, as I feel certain he would have grown into a starting role here in a couple of years. According to sinky who replied to rovers post on twitter we apparently gave Young a contract but then took it off the table so I dunno if that’s true or not…. but let’s be real he wasn’t gonna get game time at all so maybe moving on is the best for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked pretty solid in limited appearances the last couple of years, and spent time at Elgin successfully competing directly with a Premiership loanee. But he couldn’t buy time under IM, so I suspect there’s something IM didn’t like, for whatever reason. 1 hour ago, keyser_soze said: Kinda how I feel too, Lang had a few tremendous games for us but like you say not the same player after the ACL. I'm sure there is still a very good CB in him I not sure that a somewhat rushed return for his injury, and then having to be the senior CB of the pair, didn’t do something to his game/mindset. Maybe as the more experienced CB he felt he had to make a mark, and it ended up as rash challenges? Pair him with an experienced CB and his game might regress to his previous solid standard…but that speculation not a luxury we have right now if he wants to look around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game at castle gray skull he was immense. No idea how anyone can have an opinion that hes not been good for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had some great games, definitely, but he has also individually cost us more points than probably any other player. So, so many mistakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof will be in his next move, which I've heard is up the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
