Grant228 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 He might go back to Livi. I don't buy that McPake is forced to play a 433. IMO a 532 and a 442 suit our players far, far better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It's his prefered formation I think. Seemingly he played it a lot at Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Some great defensive stats there. I'm still unsold on Breen but those numbers are good. Having a consistent back 4 and goalie surely contributes to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Most of my predictions look a shambles but on the P&B 500 prediction thingy I tipped Pars to concede the fewest goals in Scotland this year. Going well so far. Incredible signing getting Benedictus. You can see the guys around/behind/beside him have grown so much in confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertson would be a good signing - he was certainly very highly regarded a couple of years ago. Was on loan at Cove last season, but no idea how He got on. Hopefully someone who was there can confirm the context of this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant228 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The signing of Finlay Robertson just strikes me as McPake signing someone because they might be available, rather than because there's an actual gap in the squad that needs filled. We are absolutely crying out for someone that can play wide with a bit of pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another comment I picked up on , was that McPake prefers his full backs getting forward rather than wide players. I genuinely don't think we'll sign any wide players now.

Is it not a youth player he’s referring to as opposed to a new signing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forzapars Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Finlay Robertson is not signing. The reference to him was just a mention given to young players he’s given debuts to etc. The thing about full backs - that was in reply to what his system is providing on the park. Mentioned how Josh Edwards is allowed to bomb up the wing whilst Comrie sits back to do more defensive work. There was a deal in place late last week for a player to come on loan but it didn’t go through then. The deal is apparently still there to be had though. This was when the reference to McMullan came in as McPake said this loan signing could “give McMullan a good race”. McPake is confident the squad will be bulked up by the end of the window and said the board have backed every player he’s gone to them with, just some haven’t managed to get over the line. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Just over a week until the window closes - either our squad is going to be well short or we'll be doing a fair whack of business. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still get domestic loans until the end of September, I think(?). So top flight clubs can complete squads by the end of the window, then we can take players on the fringes of their team once they’ve done that. Obviously still hoping for at least a couple of signings in the next week too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsdaft Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Thought it was a good evening and that McPake and Cook spoke really well in particular. Dorrans in final stage rehab at the moment for his ankle injury so should be back in contention very soon with Paul Allan likely to be out for another 2-4 weeks yet. As mentioned above, looks like we had a deal all but done for another player last week but there was a last minute change of mind from said player on Friday. The deal is still "on the table" however and the club are hopeful the player will still sign but he sounds like a bit of a coup for a League One side was he to sign, judging by the manager's comments. Worth noting our attendances this season have again been confirmed as being tickets sold as opposed to physical bums on seats as this is now the "standard practice" for reporting crowd figures. Nothing really further significant of note came out, that we didn't already know, other than the fact that Cook confirmed we are not still paying-off any of the previous management teams. He said he couldn't comment on it originally and then when asked for a simple "yes" or "no" said "no". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think who this might be but hopefully it still works out. I can't think why Alfredo Morelos wouldn't want to join on loan, bridies are great! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
