Guest Peter LaFleur Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I have high levels of fear that Wilson will be next to sign now after his hat-trick against giants Irvine Meadows. His signing after a guy who couldn't get a game for Cove would be completely underwhelming. He may of course prove me wrong and do well for the club but absolutely nothing to get excited about to go and pay the season ticket money. The centre midfield looks absolutely howling as well with Gary Miller still in there as back up. Hopefully I'm knicker wetting but with 2 weeks to go before the league cup games kick off I'm petrified for the season to come.

There's only one Medda in Irvine, thankfully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Holt should now be judged on the players who have come in. Let’s face it they are by and large the dregs from last season plus his signings. If they are duds Sheerin is on a hiding to nothing. If we are stinking this season I hope the fans point the finger in Holt’s direction not Sheerin. We don’t even look short we are short in the four most important parts of the pitch. Goalkeeper, CH, CM and upfront. How one more signing and 3 loans are going to fix it I am not convinced. We will end up having to get 3/4 out on loan to other club as there is nowhere near enough quality in that squad Edited June 27, 2021 by Back Post Misses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of good loan signings after the break could have made all the difference last season but he's defending signing players with 0 experience because they played in "75% of games", aye but they were (Neilson aside) nowhere close to what was needed.The board and Holt have effectively backed themselves to sort the club out and should be judged accordingly. Right now the squad on paper doesn't look a real level above last year's 5th place team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have agreed to the conditions attached, i.e. working with a squad of 18 signed players + loans. During the Q & A he kept blowing smoke up Holt's arse about what a wonderful job he (Holt) had done in getting all the new signings lined up but how also he (Sheerin) had input there as well. Sheerin will be equally culpable in my opinion if it all goes tits up. I'm beginning to wonder if Danny Grainger might have been the best choice as Head Coach, everybody seems to be raving about his performance at Workington Reds. But Holt is still a waste of skin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ‘satisfied’ with the defence and wide areas but at the moment Cove have a far better midfield pairing and strike force. Our spine of the team is our weakest point… again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Holt doesn't have a good track record when it come to loan signings so not holding out for any outstanding players coming in. 5th place here we come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 3/4 loans which could be a centre back, a centre mid, a winger and a striker. Again I'm very hopeful that due to Sheerin having worked in the 20's for years he's identified quite a few players to come in and improve us as well as themselves. As a side note I noticed the Aberdeen u20's just scudded the Dundee United u20's the other week. Dundee United team included Neilson and Fotheringham. Not much to take from results in those youth games but interesting none the less. I'm waiting until we see what striker they bring in before wetting my knickers but equally I'm disappointed we don't seem to have addressed the legs in the middle of the park. Hopefully Hetherington and Keena aren't out for long and I'm also hoping Telfer will be a starter in that 3 in midfield as he makes us tick. Sheerin could plan on having the three in the middle play as two sitters with one playing in the hole when we're attacking, kind of like what Scotland have been doing with the three in the middle, as we certainly have enough players to play in the 10 position. Ross looks to be a midfielder who's relatively non existent throughout the game but he'll make runs in beyond the front three to give us another option which to be fair we never had any of last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevilc Bairn Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Here are a few photos from Irvine Meadow facebook. Mostly of their players but a few of Falkirk.

Number 9 looks like a poundland version of Ollie Mcburnie and it's not Wilson. Wilson is later on in the photo's and is number 14. Going by the photo's as well it's definitely him that's got himself a hatrick as they have one of him tapping it home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Jaime Wilson and John Robertson. 2 lads who’d be absolutely pissing themselves if they got a full time deal with us. Glad we’ve got 50k a year man to help identify these lads. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
