I didn’t think asking fans of a club the names of players at said club would cause this much hassle, TBH. These guys just signed for the under-20s last week and due to our lack of players found themselves on the bench, sorry it upset you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least we can use the money on bringing players in or do up the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Be great if we got something akin to what Spurs gave us for Steven Ferguson, do up the stadium and strengthen the team! Interesting reading on our website from the Q&A session, Still looking to bring in 3 players, hope it's forwards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AberhillEnd Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Well that was painful afternoon watching the results coming in , as i said before though we shouldn't be judging ourselves on the games v Pars & county but on Alloa & Buckie. Only hope the young lads didn't get confidence dented too much. Onwards to next week and Elgin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djm Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just back home from the game. I thought the lads did reasonably well considering they were playing a team 3 divisions above EF, who are full time and have a great set up in Dingwall. Ross County's forward line was exceptional - power and pace and well supported from the midfield areas. The EF defence struggled against it but never gave in. It was a game that realistically EF were never going to take anything from but the idiot in the EF end calling for Crawford to get sacked needs to have a word with himself. I have watched all the games this season and have attended a fair amount of training sessions but I think Crawford will do OK this season as I can see an improvement each game. I'm not an EF fan/supporter but my son is one of the U20's who has been involved in the first team squad this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon_The_Fife Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I think it’s clear to see that this season is going to be yet another struggle. The squad on paper doesn’t look much better than last season and unless we can bring in some quality loan signings I fear we could be sleepwalking to the Lowland League.I’m all for giving young players an opportunity but they need help too. With the poor recruitment this summer, I think Crawford might already be under a bit of pressure if we start the season slowly bearing in mind we have other relegation candidates in Elgin and Albion Rovers within the first 3 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you honestly expect us to be able to compete with a top 6 premiership side that gets £100ks thrown at them each season ? I think it's clear to see from the 2 games against equally matched opposition that we should be able to hold our own this season without threatening the top places while our younger players gain valuable experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so disagree. Compete is one thing, no shots on goal, 7-0 nil drubbing that could easily of been 10+ is another thing. Today we had clips of our win up at Dundee Utd, we also could of easily beat Ross County when we played up there around that time,a premier league team. We also beat Hearts a premier league team and others in leagues above us. The hard reality is we had a similar budget then and we are so under performing now under the same budget. Crawford is not good enough. He has cleansed the dressing room of the old guard, who we got frustrated at them not making the play- offs in league 1. ( King Kev scores a wonder goal vs Hibs and again today- no one will tell me he is not better than we have).Just returned from Dingwall, probably over depressed but overriding feeling is” How we have fallen. So far?”. Who is to blame? Yes our shareholding doesnt help but Directors are inevitably responsible here. They have been guardians over our demise! Good people, but sorry that is irrelevant. Surely time for them to step aside for others with Fresh ideas to come forward. If not I fear our decline will be terminal. As I said long journey but We are so bad….. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the above comments.Football managers are judged on results. I have not seen any improvement in results or performance since Mr Crawford came in.I was at Dingwall the last time we played them not that long ago and that mature squad could compete this squad doesn’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far?”. When you look at it logically plenty of people seen this demise coming as early as the start of last season, if not the end of the previous season. Some have jumped ship, some have moved sideways and others have stayed hidden in the shadows. This team is an injury crisis away from being in real serious trouble. Unfortunately these young players don’t have the luxury of time to gain valuable playing experience. If they don’t hit the ground running straight away in the league then any confidence will quickly evaporate and people will feel the pressure. Clubs should always have ‘if’ ‘then’ plans in place, so hopefully obvious lessons will have been learned from last season by all involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win? No. Compete? Yes. We shouldn’t be getting humiliated by a mid ranked Premier League side. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he has never played for a club further south than Brechin and has never entertained an offer from a club in the central belt before. There is absolutely nothing wrong with suggesting transfer targets or even asking if he’d be interested, but there is a little bit more to it than a player becoming available let’s make an offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
