The Moonster Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Faz is either an idiot or utterly delusional. Either way I give him 5 games before he's down the job centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I give him 5 games before he's down the job centre. Both, I reckon. When you’re coming out with stuff like “double figures for the past 4 seasons” and “we’ll be challenging for the title with the players we’re signing” you really have to back it up. I reckon he’ll start distancing us from being title challengers pretty early on. Could see him also repeating the “you need players that know this league” line as an excuse for signing mediocrity. I wouldn’t fancy the board to sack him at any point this season, though. Edited June 4, 2022 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I see we’re already getting some of the “we’re in L2, who do you expect us to be signing?” chat on social media. Maybe some players that would be capable of getting us out of it (at the right end). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Oh, we’ve got another one on Twitter saying how great a job the board are doing! Honestly, the IQ of some of our fans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can forget that - notice was recently placed on Companies House that World Player Pool Limited is about to be struck off. And I wouldn't expect to see Mr Kristoffersen at The Rock any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarko_son Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I'm kind of fearing that our next signing will be a striker described as having physical presence, good in the air and on the deck with a keen eye for goal and we'll end up with Robert Jones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone bring themselves to imagine what the starting 11 is going to look like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Is it just me or does Farrell look pissed off in that interview? Must be reading P&B again. Hiya Stevie. Please resign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 As BBPF said, really weird that we seem to use FB above all other social media. Absolutely nobody uses it anymore. Then again, I suppose that is who this board and ownership appeal to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone bring themselves to imagine what the starting 11 is going to look like? I've been doodling this out over the last few days, and I reckon, if everyone was fit and I was picking the team, it would look something like this. Brett Long Aron Lynas Ryan McGeever Martin McNiff Gregg Wylde Kalvin Orsi Joe McKee Stuart Carswell Callum Wilson Ally Love Ross MacLean Subs: Lynch, Buchanan, Blair, D.Wilson. We really, really need a few natural options up top. I like Love and MacLean as players, but neither are out and out forwards. And neither is Orsi, who has looked far more effective out wide. We need a left-back too, I'm not sure Wylde is an outright LB (more a wing-back) and I don't think Faz sees him as a full-back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a left-back too, I'm not sure Wylde is an outright LB (more a wing-back) and I don't think Faz sees him as a full-back. Feels like we’re clearly strongest in Midfield and the Goalkeeper. We could potentially be decent at centre half, if McGeever is still the same player and Buchanan became the player he was in his first spell (IMO he needs Mr Burns to tell him to get rid of those side burns). Interesting you’ve gone for McNiff over him! A Championship Carsy showing up wouldn’t hurt either, but maybe if we pair him with someone creative that will help. As pointed out, Hutton, Wedderburn and Paton didn’t help him. Full back and striker the obvious weak spots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Also, does Farrell’s interview mean we’ll be operating with a squad of 17?! Maybe we’ll be relying on the exciting new youth setup, beyond that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember Tom Brown also being brilliant in LMA 2003. Which again maybe highlights some issues in accuracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
