Walking Down The Halbeath Road

Aye, would like to see a couple signings this week.  I'm sure there's loads going on in the background and it's a harder sell playing in league 1 now but a bit of progress with squad building would be welcome. Wide players and centre back is particularly threadbare.

Centre mid has got to be addressed. Be as well playing with traffic cones if it is going to be Chalmers and Dorrans.

Kits to be released this week. Away kit is apparently maroon.

If it is like a throwback to our original kit, then that would be nice.

Centre mid doesn't look great but we have quite a few CMs

Chalmers, Dorrans, Todd, Allan and Hamilton.

Hamilton sounds like a good addition and I'm not adverse to Dorrans having a full pre-season under McPake. The others however, I just don't rate. Todd is a worker but he doesn't have the touch or guile to play midfield, Allan is tidy enough but very lightweight and wants too much time on the ball. Chalmers is just a lazy shite and can GTF.

We certainly could do with a more attack minded CM but not sure if it will happen unless we offload some of the names above, either on loan or out the door..

Noticed there’s another interview with McPake on the official site. He mentions Shields is currently doing 2 jobs - leading the academy and “also helping me at the minute” - strong suggestion that Shields won’t be involved with the first team, once the management team is finalised.

We've had bespoke home and away kits for the past 4 seasons as well, so safe to assume they'll be bespoke, and not tatty Sunday league shirts from a catalogue.

Totally died a death on the transfer front. Not even any rumours going about. Seems other teams are in the same boat apart from QOS. 

 

I’m sure there’ll be work being done. I’m quite happy there’s no rumours, pen gif isn’t as fun when you’ve known who it’s going to be for a week.

mind when we were all hoping for a new signing, we put out an excited ITS HAPPENING tweet and then announced Ross Graham.

I think I’m prepared to wait 

In fairness, he's had a terrific career so far apart from his spell at EEP. We just suck the joy and talent out of players.

We're not going to sign anyone exciting and anyway, it's still almost three weeks until our first "competitive" game.

And then went on to get nominated for young player of the year in the top flight. 

He was unbelievably shit at us, make no mistake.

Adam will win this league on his own if there's even an ounce of truth in that. Will need to deploy a 3 man midfield for him though.

Did McPake use a 4312 while at Dundee? 

 

We've currently got absolutely f**k all in the way of wide midfielders, and all our strikers work better in a 2.
