Chubbychops Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm sure it will become clear why he's signed. Bit surprised by the extreme negativity from the Morton fans about Scully. Seemed a decent keeper in his time here. Not brilliant but a decent shot stopper and I can't remember too many howlers in his 2 year with us. I will judge him on what he does here. Strikers next please Craw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 We need a 4th keeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 If they put Gill out on loan or Robinson leaves then it will make perfect sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Doesn't make sense if Gill goes out on loan. If the Modern Day Goalkeeper is away then maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 If Gill goes out on loan it'll still be viewed as a waste of money, surprised that Robinson isn't away already. Maybe have him playing his last game against Morton? Be interested in what Crawford says to. Justify the signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 If Gill is not deemed good enough just now then him going on loan and bringing in a competitive challenger to Robinson would make sense. I've heard from a few folk that Gill is not ready for first team football. All it takes is one injury to Robinson and we would be screwed if Gill's not up to it. I think Robinson could do with some serious competion anyway. Just as long as we have funds for a striker or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Our only January signing being a senior goalkeeper to come and sit on the bench would be peak Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Still a week to go. I would amazed if we don't see a striker come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Robert Thomson being mentioned? Injury prone but he's impressed against us in the past. Can't be too many players available at this time of the season, if he's ready to play he might be a shout up front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Aye. I'm sure there will be lots of moaning if we do sign him but beggars can't be choosers. He's a strong target man that can hold the ball up. He might do the donkey work for somebody like Faz to work off and maybe allow him to find more dangerous positions in the box.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Crawford confirming that Robinson is only part time with us and doesn’t train towards the start of the week. I didn’t know that, seems like a strange scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 If we're going to continue the hoofball it might as well be for someone that has a chance of getting it. I'm open to us trying anything or anyone at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 AJ was clearly happy with the modern day GKs arrangement. A new manager is appointed and thinks differently.Happens in every single workplace all over the country. Makes sense to me.There will be further signings tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 If you compare last January to this we added lots of players despite having guys already on bigger wages probably? Clark, Morris, McManus, you would think would be top end then we added an entire midfield in Craigen, Beadling, Vincent, Armstrong and Aird. Crawford needs the same backing, at least a creative or wide player who can compliment Higgy on the other side, one proper proven striker and a centre half. If possible get rid of five or six on loan or terminate contracts. I know it’s not easy but ffs we have four pretty useless left midfielders. Paton and Cardle are arguably better than the lot of them. What a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Quote On the subject of potential signings SC explained that the homework was being done and behind the scenes work was underway. “Obviously it is difficult to try and bring players in January. We do need to strengthen, we are not at the stage where we are at the stage where we can say anything in terms of bringing somebody in. All I can say is that we are working tirelessly behind the scenes to try and add to the team because the squad does need a bit of help. What stage are we at? We are not at the stage where we are at the stage where we can say anything? Cryptic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Craw does seem to take the long way round, when explaining himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mess.Aird was already with us - he signed just before the first game of the season (where he started at Livi, although he was hooked early as he was clearly unfit). Also think we'd be better off replacing Higgy rather than complimenting him. He's been poor for most of the season and that's when he isn't being sent off or fighting his own fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t like being entertained maybe Higgy is not your style of player? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he’s been poor but he’s the only decent creative player we have. He gets frustrated when he has to do it all himself our entire setup, squad, tactics is all wrong. Just an utterly shite season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
