Slipmat Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 If the squad is as it stands come Saturday afternoon (13 outfield players, 2 of whom are injured) then AJ can only make one outfield change during the match. The lack of signing activity could therefore be a cunning plan on AJ's behalf... he can continue with his "avoid making substitutions at all costs" philosophy simply by not having any subs to bring on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Do we have a starting 11. ThoughtsWe have 11 players, one fit centre half, one or two natural central midfielders. I’m still confident we’ll do business this week, if it was the week leading into the league I’d be more worried. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is they're glorified friendlies just now. Of course the BoD and fans will want us to progress but given it's a full month before the season has historically started I can appreciate why we don't have a full squad in place by now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is going to play in defence. What is AJ all about we are 4 days away from first game. We should have learned our lesson from last season. All the trialists that played are no longer training. We'll be waiting for the Euros to finish before picking up a couple of the stars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The romance of it all might tempt him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priti priti priti Patel Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 On the subject of the Euros, I noticed earlier that the current Denmark manager, Kasper Hjulmand, was assistant coach at Nordsjaelland when we played them in 2008. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the excuse for our poor league form in the first part of last season was that the team took time to gel, would it not be better to get as much of the team as possible in place for the start of the League Cup? That’s four games of gelling before the league starts rather than after. Apart from loan players who might not be available yet, I think it would make sense to have as full a squad as possible in place for Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Grimm Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Not yet! There was an update round about this time last year with all the reserve players that had signed up. I see a few have featured like Dunn in pre season and certainly to begin with it looks as though they will be regular members of the squad. Perhaps some of the trialists that have been on the bench are players more geared towards the reserve team aswell. On a seperate note does anyone know if we are continuing with the match programme this seasonCan see who played last night on the OS. Looks like Ryan Muir has signed from Livi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from loan players who might not be available yet, I think it would make sense to have as full a squad as possible in place for Saturday.That's where it's a 'tightrope' for us though. I expect AJ could quite easily get a squad together consisting of L1/L2 players who would jump at going FT. But then they would most likely be massively out of their depth (see the overwhelming opinion on Ally Roy). For him to get competitive Championship players he'll need to bide his time and see what the other clubs don't want. It's not a dig at the club or AJ, it's the reality of our situation. It's obviously a bad thing overall but the good thing is AJ having to look further afield for players which IMO I much prefer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Fitzpatrick wasn't (and never will be) good enough to start at Norwich, Maxwell was never getting ahead of their current LB and it was obvious why Robinson was loaned out! I get your point but I still think a lot of clubs will be deciding what they want done with their players at this stage. I certainly don't blame AJ for not having us up to pace yet (RJC, you can bookmark that). Duly bookmarked[emoji106][emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played around a dozen games for Gretna 2008 last season after Rangers released him in summer 2020. Whether or not he was on loan from Livingston to Gretna I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I've asked this in the Cup thread but I'll ask here too, has anyone due to attend Saturday's game received any report time, seating details, etc, by email from the club yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
