Les Westander of County Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yes, Fergiewell will want to sustain the togetherness and mutual belief that (along with sufficient quality) has seen them win this difficult league. Still need a few new players with step up in quality - not easy to get at a non-budget-bursting price. We are joining a league with many richer clubs who will dominate the top 6 while we likely scrap endlessly with bottom 4 or 5 including the notorious red-and-white jobby that will not flush. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I've heard a few rumbles about us officially approaching Caley about Donaldson and Servette about Alex Schalk. Both are under contract so we'd need to be paying a fee for them- and Caley would not doubt take a hard line (and no wonder) over any fee. I'd rather we looked elsewhere- down south for the lower leagues would be possibly better value, unless we attempt to resign Jim Fenlon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Servette about to gain promotion back to the Swiss Super League, and Schalk starting (and scoring) regularly for them, you’d imagine that’s a no-go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so. Schalk was so hit and miss last time I'm unsure if he'd offer more than Mckay or Stewart, but he's Alex Schalk so I want to live the dream. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossCountyFan14 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Alex schalk would be quality but no chance he’s swapping Geneva for Dingwall. Heard the Donaldson Rumour too and would be happy with that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that's a Steven McGarry link. I know an Australian/English midfielder was due to sign for the reserves a while back, but things fell through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hats off to Kettlewell last night on Sportsound. He gets it, what a football club should be about. Our heart and soul has been ripped out and it is a fucking scandal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectacular miscalculation that will be regretted for a number of years.

No it wasn't, he used to have me raging every match for wasting possession so often... that I wasn't at the St Mirren game when it actually came off made me even more raging when he tried it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting read. The most interesting thing on that from my POV is the number of headed goals scored past Fox. Only three this season. It shows how well County have dominated their box and that has allowed Fox himself to focus on his own strengths. In the previous season, County had conceded five or six goals by the end of December '17 just by Marcus Fraser losing out in aerial duels at the far post, when he was playing centre-back. It's telling that Fraser has never played CB under SFSK, not even in a back three; even in a back three last season it was Naismith who tucked in and Fraser who played wing-back. I'm sure the consensus is that Fraser was a talented sweeper when he plays in the centre, but SFSK's strategy for the team to own their own box has paid off. The same personnel aren't going to be so successful in the top flight where strikers are typically so much more physically robust. I'd include the 'keeper in that, but I think Fox will remain first choice and an upgrade at centre-back is more likely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
