Rocco Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 At least we have options now. The two additions yesterday gives Ray the chance to approach games differently and totally change them with a couple of subs, which is something we didn't have before 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaby The Bairn Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 We're definitely in a far better position than we were a month ago, that's not really a debate. Wee bit concerned that we're light on wide players but midfield and defence is looking much improved with more options up top - if it was the start of the season you'd think no chance we'd be in this bother with the squad we have now. I'm concerned that we desperately need to start getting results, we've got so many loan and 6 month contracts in just now that if we end up cut adrift they might just down tools, see out the season and disappear off without a care in the world. Best case scenario we get a bit of a St Mirren-esque run on which not only drags us up and away from the drop but makes us more attractive to players coming in during the summer and more attractive to the better players we have on 6m contracts (i.e. McKenna). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I'm happy with the squad. A squad that has went unbeaten through their first whole month together, could have been better but for a couple of glaring mistakes at the back which should hopefully be ironed out, especially now with a competent keeper in goals and a sort of settled first 11. Line up bingo should be easier to predict on a saturday now which is what we are after. Bring on Dobbie I say!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The main difference now is we have options all over the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't think we will get back to the Houston era where you could guess the 11 or be 1 out most weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southstand_bairn Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Just got to see how the next 3 to 4 weeks go now. I didn't think we would get a right back in yesterday and proved right. Its not ideal but I don't think it was the worst area that needed strengthened. Must admit I am back feeling how I did last January that who knows how this will go. The earlier post regarding how attractive a club we now are is depressing but spot on. Cup finals every week now and hopefully this bunch go onto drag us out of this hole. Slaughtering them from the word go isn't going to help things either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Not sure how we will line up for Saturday but I'd go: Burgoyne McGhee. McKenna. Edge. Dixon MacLean wadd. Mcshane. DKD Rudden. Jarvis I've probably left someone important out but trying to remember all our players is hard just now.

Bairnardo Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Am not interested in line up bingo anymore. Keeper and back 4 is pretty well settled now so its a case of selecting from a now sizable pool for midfield and attack. Theres 2 things I am interested in. Get fucking DKD in the starting line up. Get fucking 2 up top. If we have signed two strikers at the last moment then continue to allow Rudden to chase lost causes for 90 minutes I will be seething. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that. As for dishonourable, let's just say there is more to come on this subject. I suspect the appeal process will be used and what comes to light then may alter the final outcome. I wouldn't count your chickens just yet. Albeit you don't actually have any chickens, as without a compensation clause you were never due any. You had your chance and blew it. You can't introduce new evidence on appeal but the appeal court have the power to increase the penalty. Only your Board would be stupid enough to drag this on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got Petra, MacLean, DKD and Robson who should all be able to do a job wide for us. You've also got Waddington and O'Hara who you can shoehorn out there if needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The full story isn't out. I suspect it WILL come out now, and that when it does things may look a little different. Last word from me as I think folk are getting a little bored with the topic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robson is a left back, O'Hara a striker and Waddington a midfielder. We've spent the last year playing players out of position, would like to see Ray playing players in their natural positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two I agree, hence why I said we could shoehorn them in. We have plenty cover though which was my original point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
