I'd have taken that risk instead of signing Wilson maybe but we're down to our last chance when it comes to strikers. We can't afford to take that size of a risk if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intelligent mind would think lottery and given the background Thursday/Friday for a decision, given our governing body it could be Saturday or Sunday tho Miller will be aok league one level, he excelled himself pre covid that some suggested he would do similar league up, still has it in his locker to do it league one for me Asking twice about Fotheringham. Is it so boring in Canada ? To me he's done. His effort against Hamilton summed him up. Far too slow now and he was never exactly quick. Our lack of legs in the middle of the park has been a major problem in the last two seasons and that's been because of playing guys like him in there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that when everyone is fit and we get (when?!) a few new faces in, that Miller will effectively be a utility backup player for RB, CB or CM. If he's considered a main starter in our best XI then we're in trouble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If the new Supporters Association starts up next month, do you think the board will be waiting to see the uptake on that before we see any more faces? Window closes the end of August and it doesn’t seem like they want to put any extra money in at the moment judging on recent signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's positive on the ball and generally will have a go at his man but he never really had any end product with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am becoming as repetitive as Hope Street Walker on here with me continually saying that we won't be signing anybody else, we're going to work with what we've got. If, however, I am proven wrong and we are going to be signing a striker, it needs to be done now and not at the end of August. Just as a reminder, our August fixtures are: Cove (A) Peterhead (H) Airdrie (A) Clyde (H) Q P (H) If we have nobody to score goals we could be well off the pace by the start of September. We need a marquee signing now (well, what passes as a marquee signing at our level anyway). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 12 hours ago, ebobsboy said: Blame superscout Holt. The person I feel sorry for the most is Sheerin. He's a dead man walking if it goes pear shaped and yet the poor b*****d hasn't really done that much wrong so far, he certainly comes across well and has us at least trying to play football. Badly let down by Holts recruitment policy. Although Wilson is a dropped bollock that can only be attributed in no small part to Sheerin. After the starts to the last few seasons there is precious little patience or good will about. Unfairly if we start badly Sheerin will be blamed when its clearly not his side. Players are not stupid and potential signings will be put off by the distinct possibility of a clusterfuck after the first 10 games. If ever we needed a good start to the season its this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60`s bairn Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A couple of "One offs" for me. The only time I`ve seen us win at Ibrox & Pittodrie, (although we`ve come close at both venues on a few occasions.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they don’t want to spend any more at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have another player who seems of similar skills, and suited to a CM/DM role, wondering if that is him likely going out on loan because Kia fills the same shaky boxes or not. You lot saw plenty of him, to your disappointment, so it seemed a fertile ground to seek further info from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shay Logan should be a solid signing for us and can undoubtedly still play Championship. He's still got pace and good work-rate. He'll strengthen our defence. Jevan is relatively unknown to me. Not sure how much he'll play or what kind of defender he truly is. Next up a striker, hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan at RB means Scott Ross can come back into the centre and play alongside Strachan. Feel much better about this already. Jevan will be backup I think but like I said never seen him play. How did he look on trial? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would've carved you open time and again if we actually passed it about. We've got the players to do it. He's decent in the air but shaky when players run at him. Prone to silly mistakes when playing out from the back. Almost gifted Duku a goal in the first half and then gave away a pen at the end. Thought Vigurs and Fyvie carved ICT open to be honest and they controlled the midfield with Scully. Admittedly Dodds didn't get his midfield tactics right and Caley weren't playing anywhere near their best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
