If Sheerin, as seems to be suggested, wants a 4-3-3, with Hetherington as the deepest of the 3, he's presumably got plans to sign two players for the more advanced roles ahead of him. At the moment, we have no one to play in these positions. Our midfield has been complete nonsense for the past five years and if the combined knowledge of the management team, Holt and "Corzo" cannot see that an immediate, serious upgrade is required in the middle of the park, it's a complete waste of time. Same old story a complete lack of legs in the middle of the park. If we end up getting run ragged in there again this season then they can stick their player profiling up their arse. We've been screaming out for drive and energy in there for seasons now and not done a damn thing about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know why people think were going to come away with some wonder signings in League 1 We need players that are better than the usual dross in this division. McManus was one for instance. We just seem to keep signing the same old level of struggling championship players and hoping for the best. We'd be aswell going part time and saving a few bob as the Montroses and East Fife's seem to be able to get hold of much the same standard of player we can for a lot less cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I base my opinion on Keena being the better player on the fact that I've seen them both play. You say Keena managed to be worse than McHugh last season despite the fact that he was injured for most of it and got next to no service when he returned. To me he looked a natural goal scorer in the early games and I think he'll do well if he gets the chance. Correct. 22L +5LC +2SC = 29 matches 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle of the park is a concern, Hetherington may be ok but at some point he's going to get injured/suspension and quite frankly the thought of Miller masquerading as a still able midfield enforcer even in league 1 against the likes of Fyvie and Vigurs is a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive season for him he simply has to be a lot better, if he isn't you can see him being punted on loan in January. Keena is no use if he's going to be injured ala Connolly last season. He can finish he's showed in glimpses but we can't afford him sitting in the stand. Going to be a slog again I fear, with the same issues that never get addressed. And if the next four or five signings are just jersey filler trialists/or untested loan kids with little first team experience... I want Sheerin to succeed but he must see that this squad is nowhere near ready/good enough, if he listens to Holt he'd be aswell packing it in tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm quite interested to see how Morrison fits in this season. If the fullbacks are expected to provide most of the width I wonder if we will see him starting upfront or as an unorthodox 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutch Williamson Mckay Dixon Mccann Telfer Hetherington Ross Morrison New Mcguffie I do want another centre midfielder to come in, one with a bit of energy and power but this would still be an improvement on last season's starting line up. We've also got to remember the majority of our issue's last season were because M&M were playing hoofball. I don't expect that to be Sheerin's style which should make a massive difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you ask neither gave me the ndaba tip. They also think we've signed a complete pile of dross this season apart from McCann but we'll just need to wait and see what happens. Were Nesbitt and Mcguffie actually rated at Morton, or was it a case of we can't afford to offer you anything/ out of contract/ your shite please leave. McCann and Williamson should be the two best signings so far. The rest are just a bit meh. It would be typical of us to go and sign another raft of players who are mostly garbage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly don't have a clue what they are like which is why you asking if they were rated so how can you say they are 'meh' when you haven't even seen a minute of them playing for us? You waiting on us signing Edouard and Morelos? Edited June 30, 2021 by FFC 1876 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erty13 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Normally the squad numbers are a good indication of the starting line up. Nesbitt has the number 10 shirt, so I think you can expect him to be one of the starting 11.

Normally I'd agree with you but Nesbitt was basically signed before Sheerin was in the door like quite a few others so I don't think squad numbers will mean much this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
