GableEnder21 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Could well be too late, but unless we have an adequate replacement in our sights, we may have to bring in a couple of players in order to find someone that may replace anything Dowds gives the team, even then its a gamble. With that in mind, shouldn't we look to double what Anton is on, that and his other job must be at least a match to any full time club could offer. If its not about money, but the chance to go full-time, then good luck to the guy, he's worked hard & deserves it & if it is to Falkirk, I think that's the right move for him at this stage. The lad from Queens Park that guys were suggesting as a replacement is away to Livvy, what about Webster at Motrose?Webby recently signed a new two contract with the Mo [emoji16][emoji2960] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of his new contract I think it will be 8 years he will have been with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking around the leagues there is a mass shortage of strikers doing the rounds who can actually get double figures, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 My thoughts entirely. Normally I'd be against upsetting wage structures etc, but his goals/workrate could prove vital thus season. Boats maybe already sailled though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthefife Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 This will probably get laughed and scoffed at but here goes. Now with the imminent departure of Dowds, I really hope the club addresses the distinct lacking of players with any presence/height within the squad. Only Dunlop springs to mind who could be considered tall-ish. Reckon we must have one of the shortest squads in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Marrs? Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 All the more reason to break the bank to get him to stay, call it a height-related bonus! Unless we've a gem lined up, this could come back to haunt us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe we will eventually sign Lewis Allan (did we not loose out to him when he signed for the Rovers?) & Joao Victoria that always hunts us remember that home game v Albion where it was 4-3 and he looked on fire that day and so frighting maybe we will sign those two that’s left the rovers along the road who knows but one thing for certains if Tonks is joining the Bairns as folk says on here then you think we have some sort people lined up to replace a striker for striker like...i guess we just have to see what happens I take it. anyways any news on a left back we’re after?

Life on Marrs? Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) We're limiting our options just looking at lower league journey men. I'd prefer someone who's been released from a Premiership/Championship side, a youngster with a point to prove, such as a Dunsmore or a Deuchar. Calum Hendry has been released by St Johnstone, he'd been some signing. May convince a youngster from a Fife, Tayside, Central, or Lothian club to drop to part-time.

Tbf- one of the strengths of our management team is their signing record whilst being here- it has been excellent and we don’t know whether they are just looking at lower leagues. We have a very strong and consistent squad that requires a few quality additions only- they will know what those are and be searching within our budget constraints. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Yeah, definitely. The recruitment in recent years has been excellent. I think we are all just realising how difficult it'll be to replace Anton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effc loyal Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Not really any strikers with any decent goal rates kicking about the lower leagues at the moment is there?? Or certainly none we could afford to get unfortunately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
