AberhillEnd Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 2 hours ago, WhoAmI said: This is the second week of training on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays!! I think that the under 20’s train at same times ( probably gonna need some of them to bolster the squad!!!!!!! Got to be one of the worst close season for signings in a long time. As for the season ticket prices, so much for donations, “go fund me” page etc as regards to loyalty and so on as we get hit with probably the highest prices in this division and higher than some in the divisions above. The higher ST price is certainly not reflected in the player signings although it probably will be in the attendance figures.?????? Was reported that Crawford had his budget before season tickets went on sale. They probably base it on last season's figures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did our under 20s players finish in their league ? I think they finished mid-table. Are you going to make a point ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 League positions at youth level are of no relevance whatsoever. For several seasons running, Celtic won the reserves / under 20 league then would free almost the entire squad immediately after. At the time Crawford himself, along with Colin Cameron, Jason Dair and others came through the ranks at the Rovers, I don't recall our reserve team being particularly prolific in terms of winning leagues and cups (except the Fife Cup at the old Bayview at the start of 92/93 when it was held over a weekend). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambuslang Fifer Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 do we have anyone left from the u20s anyways? That’s cammy Dow away to crossgates on a permanent deal. I was hoping he would be use as back up, maybe he wanted game time. i can recall the u20s finishing 11th but the likes of mckenzie is away to St. Andrews I herd also. Surely they’ll be more signings to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about him tbh Jack Healy came back from loan to East Stirling in transfer window and Adam Mansouri replaced him there. Prior to that he was with under20’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are just pointless questions. You are saying nothing.

Doubt if they would be ready to are the step up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I am trying to make is we need more experienced players as well some younger ones.Not a team filled with under 20 players we don’t know will be good enough to make the step up . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we do have Fleming, Murdoch, Slattery, Mercer, Millar, McManus, Trouten, Shepherd. Plenty of experience their but yeah, a few more wouldn't go amiss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have experienced players. Any new signings are unlikely to be inexperienced youngsters. Any U20s in the squad will be there because the manager feels they are good enough. We are nowhere near having “ a team filled with u20 players” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mention 8 players who have experience, Murdoch, McManus and Trouten missed large parts of last season through injury so that makes it 5 experience players if they are not fully injury free yet and any further injuries or suspensions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I think Healy and Walls could do a job for us next season. I'm not saying that we can build a team around them, but please settle down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if their were any signings lined up.He replied that players were still under contract at that point.I then said I hope your looking at players for the midfield.I was then told their were good players in the under 20s that could play there.My feeling at that point was we were not going to be making many signings ,but that’s only my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
