If we can add a few pieces of quality, we’ll be good to go imo. A pacy winger and a striker would be my priorities. Mutch New RB Durnan Hall Dixon New RW Todd Miller Connolly Sammon New ST Subs: Leitch, Laverty, Gomis, Dowds That's giving me the fear, those 3 signings would have to be the best players in the league for that XI to get us up. I think there's a good bit more needing done to the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Sammon should be on the bench at best unless there's injury or suspension even then Lee Miller is a better option. It's just a pity we are stuck with him for another season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 If Dowds isn't better than Sammon we have big problems. Sammon should be fourth or fifth choice depending on if Lee Miller plans on registering as a player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His past is irrelevant. He's finished. Even if I leave all the name calling aside, I think he is finished and I dont want him to sign for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller New CM Connolly New ST New ST Subs - Gomis, Todd, Hall, Miller Benny T's car park attendant - Sammon Realistically I don’t see us being able to sign 7 players who are both better than what we have in the first 11 and willing to come to us for the money we can offer. We’d be far better imo identifying and bringing in 3 or 4 players of real quality perhaps on a bit more money than trying to replace the whole team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesnt fit the mould of amusing cast off in any way. That said, despite some decent looking signings and a bit of coin, Dunfermline are currently no more than an average Championship side and have never got better than average since returning there from the seaside. Fifers incoming no doubt, but it's true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have time in a 27 game season to be settling in a whole new team. We need to go mostly with what we’ve got while adding some quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottiBiabi Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 6 hours ago, wee_bairn said: Is there any reason why the two rumoured signings haven’t been announced yet? Bainsfordbairn is probably the only one on here who can answer that question, whether he does or not is a different thing. That Sneddon boy has it all over his social media that he's signing/ signed so it is a bit puzzling that it hasn't been announced. My best guess is that it has something to do with the furlough scheme and they are waiting until the rest of the squad are taken off furlough at the end of the month to give a full update on the playing squad/ new signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 3 hours ago, Moutinho said: 3-5-2 doesn’t work in this league. We don’t need 3 centre backs not contributing in an attacking sense against teams who will just sit in. We looked much better with 4 at the back last season. As Jock Stein said ' The best defense is to have the ball in to opposition half ' Nothing better than putting down a marker at kick off, get them into their own penalty box with shots, corners and desperate clearances from them in the first 10 minutes. Far too much low tempo faffing about over the last few seasons. If its a 4-4-2 with mobility would go for that as well. The squad desperately requires pace in all departments ! + 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestfieldBairn Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Good news about Miller. Probably our best player behind McManus last season, along with Mutch. Edited July 14, 2020 by CC52 FFC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
