Spring Onion Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Since there was extra money dripping down from the top league did this mean we got extra funds to buy/pay more quality players or did it mean that championship clubs just payed more for the same pool of players? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Charlie Exley came on and played in front of Marshall in a left midfield role v Livi. He is a full back though. Dean Watson came on late in that game. Cant recall where he played but he is relatively small with blonde hair. If he played out right he was out of position but then so was Exley so he may have done.Cheers. The Exley didn't have much of the ball but looked ok I thought. The boy I was talking about did indeed have blond hair so I'm thinking it may be him. Looked very lightweight but that's one game so obviously can't right the boy off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 9 hours ago, Mr X said: We definitely need a centre back tomorrow but could go into Saturdays game without another striker. Clearly we need one to replace Fergusson, Im not sure I see us signing another wide player, though. Stirling, Todd, Murray and Dykes can all play there along with a few who could fill in if necessary. Will there be match previews on the website again this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dykes is wasted out wide and IMO Murrays not good enough. I agree Dykes is wasted wide, all I meant was he could cover there if required. Stirling has played most of pre-season and has number 7 so that would suggest he's in the plans 38 minutes ago, Doonhamer doon south said: Will there be match previews on the website again this season? No plans to do anything different to last season. The media officer is currently on holiday so there will be less going on until they are back.

JessieField Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I know it's the "old style" penalty format in the World Cup, so does that mean penalty shoot outs in the Betfred Cup will be the same? Remember last season there was "dubiety" about whether penalties would be taken "tennis style" with the first penalty followed by 2 from the other team. Has that experiment been scrapped? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dykes is wasted out wide and IMO Murrays not good enough. Like you I hope Stirling gets a chance this season but it's a two way thing. The gaffer has to give him a run of games to prove himself, not chop and change, and Stirling has to work hard and perove he deserves the chance. 11 hours ago, Steeplechat said: Not an easy job for the gaffer due to the lack of funds. Don’t make our centenary season one to forget Billy I don't get the thinking that because it's our Centenary season that something special should happen regarding the first team or extra money should be put in to make an extra effort to try for promotion. For me it's going to be another season where we firstly consolidate our position in the division with an outside chance of making the play-offs. I don't think we should splash cash we don't have just because of the Centenary thing. 11 hours ago, weeredbook said: He wants out . 10 hours ago, SUPERSOUTH said: Who Billy or the Gaffer?? Probably both of them. Naysmith obviously wants a job where he's not hampered by a small budget, and this job is now viewed as a stopgap and stepping stone to bigger jobs. Rumours that the Chairman wants out have been going around for a couple of seasons now. I don't think he planned to stay in office as long as he has but getting someone else in seems to be the problem.

They could accept a fan representative onto the board and one of the other directors could become chairman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doonhamer doon south Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The team looks better now. The three signings have helped fill the gaps and I hope they can hit the ground running and give us a competitive start to the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flash Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I remember there was doubt over the date Kane and Kerr were going back to St.Johnstone. Sheffield Utd OS confirms Semple is here until 7 January. https://www.sufc.co.uk/news/2018/july/young-duo-loaned-out/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I had hoped we would also confirm Michael Doyle as a signing as well. By all accounts he did well as a trialist. He may of course have other options to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Pleased with that. Hopefully Doyle is next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
