Home one is nice, it’s more stand out yellow than the last few years and I quite like it, it’s clean. Away one is rotten 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are streets ahead of 2019/20 imo. I like the black one a lot in the flesh. The yellow one reminds me of my school team top with its shimmery sort of texture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Lynch was brought in by Alloa on the eve of last season as cover and played the first few games at CB when we were very short in defence. A pretty tough start for a youngster with very limited experience and he wasn't helped either by the fact that Neil Parry got injured too and we had a kid in goals. Lynch looked a bit raw which was understandable in the circumstances but strong in the air and solid enough, although maybe not as mobile as you'd like. When we got other players back he didn't really feature but he then reappeared at RB for a game at QoS later in the season when we had a number of players out. I wasn't expecting much as he'd looked very much like a stopper CB when he'd played but he actually did pretty well that day and had a couple of Shaun Rooney style powerful runs down the flank. Obviously he has moved about without playing a lot of first team football and I'd say that's what he really needs now. There are attributes there to work with and games and experience will hopefully see him develop and do well. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Regardless of individual people's opinions on the signings. Old/young/good/bad It's a great time to be alive! Imagine going into a preseason and potentially the league Cup with an actual fully signed team! For years we have scrambled about picking up the scraps then scraping through the season with a cobbled together team of square pegs in round holes! Faz clearly has a plan, whether that plan works time will tell, but what he has brought is positivity which is great, and it's clearly enough to sell the club to the players! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The signing of Paton suggests Geggan will be used at right back, which I suppose I'm okay with but I do worry about our pace back there with McGeever and Boyle not exactly Usain Bolt as well. Paton could be the perfect foil for McKee though, someone to break up play and give Joe the ball is how you get the best out of them. If the Gregor Buchanan chat has any substance then getting him, a goalkeeper and a couple of forward players in should be the order of the next few days. Great work from Faz and Frank today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrell i s building a good squad, really talented midfield there, if you can get a couple of strikers firing, too 4 could be a distinct possibility, Consistent goalscorer s in this league are very hard to find.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn’t agree more with that. Great to see a manager come in with a clear proactive approach. He obviously has good contacts in the game and knows the players at this level and what he wants to build his team. Being well prepared for the first set off league cup fixtures must be a first for many a season. Great to see the excitement building amongst the support as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely better than our 1988/89 home kit, for one, by a substantial margin. That kit was entirely in keeping with the Willie Cairns' and Pat Cairneys of this world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love if we stayed with it, with maybe small changes every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club’s intention is to go back to bespoke design for the season after this...to mark the 150 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
