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? Fourth at the very best. Morrison is a liability and liable to spit the dummy, McGuffie and Hetherington Oliver I think is one of those that will be a meh player, Williamson is just not the answer at right back he's very poor. I assume you mean Innes Cameron up front, won't get double figures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. If Hetherington's a starter we're going to be in trouble, even against Stranraer all he was good for was giving away cheap fouls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I included Innes Cameron as he’s the only name that’s really been mentioned but as I said I’d much rather sign Henderson or someone. Seems we are on a similar page in regards to Williamson, Hetherington, McGuffie… What I would say is that 4 good additions turns that team into genuine contenders. Do we stick or twist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd like to twist more it's the stick that's the problem. They won't be budged. And that ultimately will be why despite any slight improvement I think we will be in league 1 again next season come the end game. And it's something we can ill afford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 McGlynn has more or less confirmed that further recruitment is at best a couple and then some loan(s) As many have said we’re desperately short up front and from the Stranraer report, our second 45 was business as usual - shite. I seriously question if McGlynn can get a song out of the usual named culprits, therefore unless he can identify at least one box to box midfielder, and two decent CFs it’s going to be the same shitefest. Only real hope is that the bods statement on the budget is hopefully being played down, and if we can reach anywhere near the numbers (2300) from last season, McGlynn gets an additional one or two heads in. Here’s bloody hoping……… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 We need bodies in. Surely the club knows that and the noises are just trying to manage expectation a bit. The other side is that even if there is money there, getting the right sort of quality in given our position won’t be easy. We are miles off it currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect to see at least 4 new faces arrive. Obviously the quality of those additions will be key but 4 good signings puts us in the mix IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 McGlynn knows what we need & I have every faith he’ll be bringing in 4/5 more players by hook or by crook. A couple will leave too I think by mutual consent or on loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Myles Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Mcglynn was very happy with the budget he's been given. A couple more signings and a few loans will make all the difference . To get a decent goalscorer or two in it's going to have to be loan deals these days. Still loads of time yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Aye, it's been a quiet spell of late but I expect Yeats to be signed, another 1 maybe 2 on top and at least 2 loans which we all know tend to come later. No cause for panic yet. Regardless of the balance of permanent/loan, I'd imagine one way or another there will hopefully be 5 new faces in. That will completely chance the face of the team and make or break us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
