Unfortunately most fans don’t realise these are the kind of going rates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - NPL is not a good level. It's alright saying an overweight Griffiths couldn't cut it across there but fairly certain he was playing in the A league. If Wilson is playing at a lot lower level then he might actually resemble a footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGlynn and the hierarchy are serious about getting out this shiter of a league, I’d be hoping that every avenue is explored with players that can make a difference. Sibbs may be untouchable but if there’s a chance you never know…..maybe you’re happy to piss around this league for another season, if we can bridge a gap of 400K, a deal with the likes of Sibbs can’t be discounted. If the guys in charge have serious ambitions of getting out this league, it’s guys like Sibbald will make a difference. The league we are is and our player churn over the last few years does not help. The quality needed will have better and more reliable offers out there and that is how it is no amount of wishful thinking will change it. Best way to go is a few loan deals that hopefully gets us over the line and out of the league. Once that is achieved the squad needs dumped with a few exceptions as just not good enough to stay up as the Dundee game proved the current lot won't cut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the point I was making is that we need to somehow get two/three players in that are better than what we’ve got. No easy task in January but sometimes managers can get lucky. Sibbs was used as an example only, as believe his playing time has been limited, and maybe worth an ask. Its not stopped the club paying ridiculously high wages to the likes of Griffiths last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Wilson is going to a higher level than Griffiths was at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not stopped the club paying ridiculously high wages to the likes of Griffiths last season. Right Back and 2 engine room players in the middle of the park are desperately needed. It's obvious that the opposition see Falkirk as a soft touch and get stuck in at the start on our midfield. Will get the best out of McGinn to create chances for the forwards while protecting a defense that sadly always have a silly goal to lose at any time. So if a team in a higher division have suitable players requiring 1st team games in a competitive league then if McGlynn is doing his joub has them lined up for signing next week. We will soon know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Freemason Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I don’t think we necessarily need “better” than what we already have, I think we need different. I think a midfielder(s) with more of a physical presence who better fits into whatever McGlynn’s midfield plan is……..that’s what we need. We don’t need better sand dancers…..we need less of them, A right back would of course, be nice to have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, Morrison, Nesbitt, McGuffie and Kennedy are the same style of player although some are better than others. Lawal is different, as is Henderson if selected to play in midfield. I’d like to see us add a midfielder who gives more of a physical presence. If we can only bring one in that would be my preference, I’d love another right back and striker but I don’t see us having the coin for that.

I’d imagine he’s not been involved in first team squads as he’s been playing with the under 18s but I think they have a break in games so was on the bench on Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
