San Starko Rover Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 (edited) I’ll hold off until we face the League cup matches before panicking about lack of players. Of the players gone only Tumilty is a real loss for me but I think we all knew he’d be away regardless of what we offered. Bene was a good servant for us but seemed the right time to move for both parties, Musonda was a decent player but he was rarely first choice and McKay was back up at best. I’m sure Murray has some players lined up and we’ll hear more soon. Saturday is a kick-about for fitness, yes it’d be nice to have all our business done for that game but it’s not essential.

Is he injured at the moment, though, is what I was getting at. Maybe I missed it bit I haven't seen anything about it. Someone on here said they'd heard a couple of players had been for minor ops during the break and I think the assumption now is they were Vaughan and Matthews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On K107 tonight it was said that he's had a minor op, unrelated to his knee but not expected to throw up complications, so his return may be on time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't need much rehab and that he should be back from it quite quickly and into training again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 The earlier you sign a player, the earlier you pay their wages. At this time of year players hold the power, give it another couple of weeks and that swings back to the clubs Then you have more interested clubs that haven't had to pay a wage for 2 months of kickabouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 5 hours ago, Michael W said: What's up with Matthews? Rumoured to have been for an Operation. The procedure should have been done at seasons end but wasn't arranged correctly due to holiday being booked. I suppose this is the kind of f**k up that happens when the manager is leaving and there's nobody in place to take up the slack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Cars off the Road so can’t drive through, what’s the train situation like? On the whole bus is the only option, no trains out of Fife but some Transpennine & Cross Country ones running to Dunbar from Edinburgh but none running back after the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBJ Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 15 hours ago, TxRover said: Oh, I agree…but when/if Lang comes back, he would start over McKay or Bene, at least, and probably Musonda. Instead, each is now starting for another team. As for bare, Connolly at RB or Ross at LB would indicate we’re down to the nubs. Why would you say “if”… he’s well on the way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Should we sign Poplatnik. The guy was really coming on to a game for us. If the budget dictates right enough. The players we’ve signed could be the perfect foil for his style of play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Can't help but feel he hit a purple patch. For every good game he had, there were games like the last 2 against Dunfermline where he was terrible, the extent of which he and Varian were poor in the new year game prompted the "our strikers dinnae score" response from Mcglynn which played its part in you know who signing. A useful player, but not one that completes the strike force, for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on his performances when he finally got a decent run in the team ,as he scored about 11 in all competitions for us last season Edited June 24 by Been going too long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are only looking at signing one centre forward I think we need to try and find better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Yeah, Vaughan is a bonus player. The club absolutely have to work on the basis that he isn't available. If he's fit, great, it's a boost. But hanging our hat on that and building a squad around him is foolish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
