Enigma Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 3 minutes ago, CountryBumpkin said: We have a new manager who wants to have a look at players before signing for them. What he did last season doesn't merit instant acceptance and a contract offer without being checked out by the new manager. Great if he's got interest elsewhere, another team he can do fair to middling with. Maybe if McGlynn had taken a look at Keating before signing him we wouldn’t be where we are so fair play from Murray in my book. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heid_The_Baw Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Not sure what to make of this new centre back. The word cruciate gives me the fear. The fact he has not played a competitive game since 2019 gives me the fear. Inter Milan former kid or not, he was chucked from Northampton after a few months. Positives though, he is a centre half thankfully. He might just end up being the next big thing as clubs not desperate for a ch like us have overlooked him. He will be out to prove himself, so hopefully be a good one. Fingers crossed. Now to get in the next Dalziel up front.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Happy enough with the two signings today. Lb was a concern so glad dick has more competition there. Nolan is a complete unknown but I'm happy to go with Murrays judgement on it. I still back him and am glad he's finally got these signings over the line, but we need more. I liked davie asking Nolan "if he was chosen is he ready" he's no choice surely, he's our only fit natural cb. You're not getting the few weeks to adjust, just go and play. Just a small note on the club. Iv had two emails from the club the past two days. One was asking me to renew my season ticket and the other was about hospitality. Both of these should have been sent after these signings where anounced rather than after berra retired. It's amateurish that wasn't the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair to middlings a bit harsh giving his form at the end of last season, I’d of liked to have thought that any monies free’d up from Berra would have allowed us to bring him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got put out on loan to Kidderminster in March. He started the first match after he signed but was taken off after about an hour. After that he struggled to even make the bench, only being listed once and even then he was an unused sub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every QotS performance there was a Pars performance, a lot of people seem to have selective memory over Poplatnik. Yes he could be effective at times, but equally he could be anonymous. He was also not really different from what we have given he's a link man, a support striker. He needs someone making runs for him to find them as he drops in. This was our issue last season, we signed so many players that played the same way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Starko Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Was signed on loan for a month to play in the Kidderminster first team and ended up playing just 64 minutes of competitive football on 12th March and didn't play again. Link | Link 2 | Albeit, he did feature for Northampton for 45 mins in a friendly against St Mirren and 30 mins against Dundee United this summer. Can only assume he played well enough in those two short appearances for Murray to be convinced to hand a one year deal to him. Full pre season or not, I'm not sure I'd want to chuck him into the starting line up against Cove though.
