Cardle is Magic Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Great for club finances but pretty much guaranteed the end of our League Cup run. Think we’ve managed to get three OF away games after reaching knockout stages. Last time we got battered at Ibrox I was standing in queue for ticket when 2nd goal went in and just said f**k it and went back to the pub. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Heard they barely scraped a win today while we won comfortably this weekend. Shouldn’t be too difficult. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Courier linking us with Graham Dorrans. Also confirms the Rhys Breen deal is done just waiting on his isolation period finishing following return from USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I read somewhere he was at the game yesterday so assume that isolation is done, hopefully gets announced today/tomorrow and get him settled in with the squad ahead of the league starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 His isolation period finished Friday. Will be announced officially today - everything has been sorted out between us and Rangers. Dorrans is an interesting one. Didn't think he looked too hot for Dundee tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If we’d signed Billy King and played him against Stenny then Nat, King and Cole would all have been on the pitch on Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'd be willing to give Dorrans a chance. Similar to when we got Whittaker, best days are certainly behind him but he could add to what is a very youthful midfield. Might not have the legs but I'm sure will still be technically a very sound footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Cornholio Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 when i see this Dorrans link i cant get Dean Shiels out of my head, hopefully works out better than that did if he does sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Would be happy with Dorrans. A different option and would add a lot of experience to the midfield, when he plays. Think Grant would be more sensible than Crawford was with Whittaker and play him when needed, rather than squeezing him into the team whenever he can.Defence has looked shaky, hopefully Breen adding competition will help out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At their best Dorran's was comfortably better than Shiels. Also, AJ weirdly signed Shiels as a CM when he had always played as a wide player/winger/forward before that. Dorran's is a CM and will play there if he signs. He'll also have legs of Cole/Thomas/Pybus/Allan around him. When we signed Shiels he had Michael Paton and big Nat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I rated Shiels quite highly when he was with us. He was less effective during the second half of the season but then again the majority of the squad were like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Fine with Dorrans as long as we’re not splashing the cash on an older guy whose best years are behind him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously his best days are behind him or he wouldn't be near the Scottish Championship and obviously he'll be one of, if not, the highest earner for you lot. As is, he looked half arsed for us at times, but his quality was evident. Would have liked to have signed him on again even though we have an absolutely stacked midfield. Very much was a defensive player for us. Took the ball from centre defence and kept the ball ticking along nicely without creating too much. The type that does a job very effectively but isn't flashy and doesn't win the ball back. Something every team needs but not what you're wanting from such a name as Graham Dorrans when you know what he used to be able to do which leads to some of the support liking him and the other half thinking he's a waste of a wage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Think Peter Grant does want a player to play at the base of the midfield and take the ball off the back four so it makes sense from that point. Not sure if he's got a decent plan B if that doesn't work mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much as Dorans has been described above, takes the ball off the back 4, keeps the ball moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to say vs Stenny as game had petered out by time he came on but against Dumbarton he was base of midfield, sometimes collecting the ball directly from Mehmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
