Paco Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 When was Hill not good enough? Apart from his sendings off I don't remember him having particularly bad gameS? Consistently. He was the senior centre back and we leaked goals like a sieve. Far from the only one to look at, but he certainly shouldn't be given the free pass he is. He's far too rash and loses concentration a lot. I like Hill, he's committed and tries his best, when he plays well he plays very well. But last season he wasn't good enough. He's 29 and he gets bossed around by Paul Watson who is 23. That tells its own story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donny86 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I didn't see him getting bossed about by Watson? I think part of the problem was he was having to cover for the snail that was Ellis and the inexperience of Donaldson so at times he was caught trying to cover 2 places at once. He was fine next to Watson because he could play his own game and not worry about covering his partner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we have Barr and Watson signed up big Dougie should be next, or a nice wee double with big Davie too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a bit miffed that Fraser Mullen was released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 He probably told them he wanted first team football which he isnt going to get at us. Watson everytime iv spoke to him (once) seemed a genuinly decent bloke so for him to be captain would be a good move id think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'm happy with Thomson as captain. I wouldn't say Watson 'bossed' Hill but he did do the leading and organising. That doesn't have to be a slight on Hill, we're as well to play to our strengths - Watson couldn't win the same headers as Hill for example. Watson Moon and Elliott = yas. If I didn't have my season ticket already I'd go and buy one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. I think people seem to be forgetting just how poor our defence was last season though. Only Morton, Cowden and Dumbarton had worse (and Cowden and Dumbarton scored more to compensate, Dumbarton significantly so). As I say, happy to see Dougie sign and if he plays his way into the team then great - wouldn't be my first pick to begin with though. The defence needs a serious overhaul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) When can we organise a friendly with Ingolstadt? Bonus would be to play them over there as well! Lovely looking stadium too. Obviously money talks. But would be great to enhance links with our twin town. Edited May 28, 2014 by Wardy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are sending a band and their lovely beer to Kirkcaldy next month, it's the least we could do in return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Wouldn't be at all surprised to see us sign Danny Grainger. We're obviously in need of a left-back if Booth isn't returning, and he'll be on the lookout for a First Division club having left Dunfermline. Obviously he cried after Dunfermline got beat in the play-offs and he'd only been there for five months, but he's a fairly competent (and experienced) left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I do think he'd be a solid enough signing in all fairness. Very good set-piece delivery as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I imagine it will be another re-signing - going for McGurn or Anderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah I think Anderson or McGurn are the most likely. News of a new face would be good though. Over 1,000 season tickets sold already as well. Good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
