Was it Setterington that scored? Went to the away tie and was a disappointed 12 year old on the way up the road. The longer that we stay in this shithole of a league, what we are inevitably going to see are more and more posts like these, reminiscing about the good old days - depressing as f*ck! Makes me think of the lyrics in the theme tune for "Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads": Oh what happened to you? Whatever happened to me? What became of the people we used to be? Tomorrow's almost over, today went by so fast It's the only thing to look forward to, the past Anyway, I was at the Gornik and Coventry games too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t they go and gubbRangers at Ibrox shortly afterwards? Lubanski was so far ahead of everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) 22 hours ago, latapythelegend said: Having 3 at the back really doesn't make a difference as to whether a formation is attacking or defensive. It is what it in front of them that matters For example: 3 at the back with one holding mid and 2 forward thinking/creative players = attacking 3 at the back with 2 sitting midfielders = defensive. The role of the wing back is typically the same regardless. Stats say otherwise currently, 111 games to score 9 goals previously, we did it in our last 3 games Edited January 20, 2022 by MrDust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be a real challenge to recruit players in this window outside 6 month loans given our manager is effectively on a 6 month trial. That’s not the managers fault btw, it was the approach the new board have taken - time will tell if it’s the right approach or not. Unless we bring in a quality spine to the team, we will probably just about avoid the relegation playoffs but I think talk of the promotion playoffs is premature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most players will sign a contract knowing there is a very good chance they’ll outlast the manager. Even if Rennie was on a 2 year deal, players would sign knowing that if things go wrong he could be out by the summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm desperate for us to sign someone but I'd much rather Rennie took his time because I'm fed up of us signing quantity over quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 We're not looking at an entire rebuild at the moment to be very competitive in this league. Airdrie weren't streets ahead on saturday and they're second top. 3 decent signings and we should be able to get results against anyone in league one . Fans are looking for something positive to invest in. Whether that's next year's season ticket or joining the supporters society they want to see something palpable from the new board and manager. If we just freewheel from now till may your not going to get much enthusiasm for either. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does then it's pretty much the same travelling time to cove as it is to falkirk, so can't see that being a factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amarillo Bairn Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 If we were in for Reynolds, which we don't know if we were apart from hearsay, we probably missed out because he might fancy playing in the Championship next season with Cove rather than slugging it out down here in league 1 with us, which is looking likely 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cove look odds on to win the league and bar a miracle, there’s no chance we’ll get automatic promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Likewise Gardyne, who's from Dundee and signed for Montrose. You'll find 95% of players in the Championship and League One sign for a club based on personal circumstances or knowing someone at the club who they class as a friend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerLeagueFC Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I question what happens if the Rennie experiment goes Pete Tong? Do we honestly think this board have a backup plan to this bubbling in the background? -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
