aftershocker Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Agreed - keep them all. And anyway, the stats would suggest its clearly the other end of the pitch where we require squad improvement. cant disagree that we need to try and conceded less goals, however, this IMHO is down to the style of football we play. We are set up as an attacking team.....other than Turner, we have no real holding midfielders.....Megginson and Kirkpatrick are both pretty attacking types of players it looks to me as though we're set up to try and score more than the opposition, and to be fair, its been pretty successful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 it looks to me as though we're set up to try and score more than the opposition, and to be fair, its been pretty successful I'd rather watch an open, attack minded Dumbarton team which regularly wins 4-3 (with the occasional heavy defeat) than one which grinds out boring 1-0 victories. I'm sure you agree by the tone and content of your post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you agree by the tone and content of your post. Completely agree. Also, the value of three points for a win, as opposed to playing with more caution and perhaps having to settle for a point shouldn't be underestimated. In any event, I don't think the current squad has the personnel that can get a lead and then shut up shop. It's a lot more fun watching a team that tries to outscore the opposition. Garry Fleming certainly isn't a player that I would want to see moving on. I think he has a combination and variety of attributes that aren't replicated by any other player in the current squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Surely we are the best value of pounds per goal in Scottish football? Undoubtedly the most exciting sons team in my lifetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I remember back when Gibson and McIvor were our strikers we finished 70 goals for and 70 against. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I remember when Kenny Wilson and Roy McCormack got 66 goals between them in all competitions! (Peter Coleman was third top scorer with 17!) I am very old of course! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I think we were all disappointed when craig brittain left, there are players like him who you can see still offer something when the manager doesnt. Then there are the lithgows who think they can do better but dont. I think fleming is at as high a level with us now as he ll ever reach. If we have a better option then he should be free to go with our thanks. I wont categorize the squad here but i reckon we could see 8 or 9 departures; both voluntary and forced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hope we get the home end full on Saturday after tonight's events in Kirkcaldy. Things have changed in a very big way since 3pm last Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This on top of missing Aberdeen due to a previously booked holiday. Why is life so harsh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowden til i die Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Actually, Flynn could be a shout as a player you are looking at. Lives in Glasgow, Murray may know from his time at Hibs, unbelievably fazed out by Nicholl. Would make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
