Overall, pretty happy with the new signings, especially Long seems to be a good bit of business. Time for Rico Q to do the decent thing and follow Long back to the Rock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 A bit surprised Stanger has full-time offers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico was fine but he wasn't all that great. I think having had Boyle/Wylde/Muir this season may have tinted opinions and we maybe feel he was better than he actually was. Bit of a liability defensively. Looked decent going forward but I'm not sure he ever actually created goals with it. I'd have given Muir a chance because although he is raw, he is young and could have been a fairly cheap option who I feel could have developed into a decent player, especially with the drop down. That being said, I'd hope we find someone more proven at this level or the league above as our first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played under Aitken and Faz and Stranraer and I'm sure he's big pals with Frank McKeown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Sparky but the season just ended absolutely convinced me that my long-held view on players returning to former clubs was spot-on. Time for Managers and assistants to make new pals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. It very rarely works out well second time around. Especially when the players in question have hardly been setting the fire alight in recent years... A la, Buchanan, Boyle, Geggan... no more, please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Sparky is physically finished. He was a good player for us and I've got fond memories of him. I'm not a fan of bringing back former players as they usually fail to deliver, particularly several years down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 It would be very disappointing if the manager hadn’t learnt from Boyle and Geggan last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Unless he’s signed for someone else, which I haven’t heard, I think there’s a good chance we’ll see Tommy Muir added to the squad this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd genuinely add Buchanan into that list. He has had a terrible season. A few okay games here and there don't mask how bad he has been, for me. Can't imagine he's on the lowest wage and I'm sure we could get much better in for the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine he’ll be our highest earner. Maybe people will disagree with me here, but I think the season expectations (from the board to Farrell) have absolutely got to be set at win the league. Obviously that’s not what I think we will come anywhere near to doing, but given Farrell was allowed to stay on (and will be backed with a more-than-decent budget again), there should be big pressure on him from the board to deliver that.

The Moonster Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Faz suggesting some of our two year deals may be on the move. I'd take a guess at messrs McKee and Lynch being at the top of that particular list. On the Sparky suggestion, I think it would be pretty mental to move Boyle into a coaching role and replace him with another aging left back who has seen his best days, surely if any lessons were learned last year its that full back was a major issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I see that Albion have released nathan Flannigan? There's a player there who knows the leagues well and tbh could be operating at a higher level than us...a good signing there if we had the savy to try get him early. only 25 too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Young Sons Membership is a great idea, certainly with what it includes with matchday team announcements, playing at the stadium, etc etc I don't know how many YOUNGSONS there are but dare I say this is an attempt to combat the potential drop in season ticket revenue from those attempting to withhold their funds. Personally...I will still not be renewing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
