fifer Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I have got a feeling it will be difficult to replace the positive influence that Docherty has had on our squad, and I think that is probably why EF wanted to keep him (although I doubt if we were willing to match the 2 year deal offered to him by Forfar). I will always be grateful to him for winning the ball in the dying minutes against Raith and having the courage to put the ball in for Agnew to layoff to Dunsmore. A lot of players in that position would have played it safe and settled for the draw. Oh and if he scores a penalty against us next season some of our supporters will go into meltdown.

I seen duggan in dumfries on saturday (queens end of course) and looked a much better player than he was with us. More than happy if he came back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) So Duggan, Higgins, Murdoch and Burns we're all interested in. Would take them all, not a big fan of Higgins but I'm probably being too harsh given it wasn't just him underperforming the latter half of the season. If we sign those lot, I make it probably one centre half and a right back (Watson?), and Darren might be happy with the squad. I'd prefer another winger personally but can't have it all!

Kev can play there but not a whole game, Tonks was played wide left at the end of last season which was an experiment I hope to never see again, Dunsmore but only if we sign a right back...

Apparently was fantastic for Annan over the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably are being a bit harsh regarding Higgins, he was fine without being outstanding, I think adequate would describe him best and if he can rid himself of his one brainfart per game ratio then he would probably be fine/good!!!Duggan will need to be given the wire-brush and Dettol treatment and promise to score in every game against Raith for me to like him as much as I did previously!!![emoji6]Can't claim to know too much about Burns but another wide man couldn't hurt but the potential signing of Murdoch could be a game changer, he was originally brought in to be out "Destroyer" in the middle of the park, a job he is more than capable off but due to injuries to himself and others ended up playing at RB, he could be the player we have been missing in the middle of the park since, ohhhhh I dunno, Johnny Allison??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently was fantastic for Annan over the season Haha if anyone wants a player like that we will need to get the sponsorships up and the season tickets bought, get another 100 season tickets snapped up and I’m sure Darren will get the funds to boost the team. Not a clue what he will be on but it will surely be a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly glad I have nothing to do with it as I would be losing it seeing how much some of these guys are asking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuggfifer Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 He stays right across from k park. Maybe a coaching role involved aswell?If you'd watched the interview with David Proctor at half time on one of the Alba playoff games, you would realise why Odea has gone there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
