NUMBER 7 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 56 minutes ago, PedroMoutinho said: Like the tens of thousands that were spent on an unfit and uninterested striker in January? Why was that money spent at all if there is now nothing in the pot to field a competitive team? You’re looking at at least 2 decent players who could’ve been signed this season instead. How often are you going to bang on about signing Griffiths, it was a gamble, a last throw of the dice, it didn’t work for numerous reasons, we move on. If we had Pie and Bovril in 1990 I’d guess you’d have been moaning about signing Simon Stainrod after seeing him in his first 2 or 3 games. We all know there’s no quick fix to moving forward again, but most of us are trying to show a bit patience in allowing the board and management make some improvements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, at the time in the position we were in taking a gamble on a player of Griffiths quality made sense to me and plenty of others on here seemed to agree at that time. Can understand why Rennie wanted him, in hindsight it didn’t pay off but that’s the nature of football. The wages he received (roughly 24k) over what was only a 4 month contract would have made very little difference to our budget in the grand scheme of things. Banging on about it is pointless , It’s a non issue for me. Edited June 30, 2022 by LatapyBairn. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he relying on Griffiths banging long rangers from near on the half way line every time he got the ball because it must have been his train of thought. Any striker coming in this season is going to have the exact same issue because we do not have the personnel to create enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Our midfield will get bodied again this season if it's the triumvirate of Nesbitt, McGuffie, Hetherington in the main. McGinn if he keeps healthy should help but I'm expecting much of the same shitebaggery as last season when they hit their stride or rather don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulioBairn Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Given the talk of limited budget and the fact McGlynn has favoured a 4-2-3-1 so far, the team below might not be a million miles away from how we start the season. Where do we think the following team would finish? PJ Williamson Henderson Donaldson Mackie McGinn Yeates/Hetherington Morrison Oliver McGuffie Cameron For me, an upgrade on Williamson, McGuffie and Hetherington (if we don’t sign Yeates) and signing someone like Henderson over Cameron gives us a chance. Surely that’s not inconceivable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely not but if we only managed another 1 or 2 signings before the start of next week I'd have him in there. He's very comfortable on the ball, would provide a bit of dig in there and keeps Hetherington nowhere near the team. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hetherington was on the whole an abomination last season but if, and I stress if, he regains some footballing ability I would have no problem with the manager playing him. As I posted a couple of weeks back new season new start and we really need at least a couple of last year’s failures to discover some form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
