A.K. Barr Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Every day on here without fail the name Deri Corfe is mentioned by someone, for the love of fk can this man be forgotten and not mentioned, ever again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Some of the comments/opinions genuinely baffle me to the stage where I end up just laughing. There are hundreds of examples all over the footballing planet of managers / teams taking punts on youngsters from levels below and it not quite working out. Dylan seemingly had a lot of issues outside of football which prevented him training etc , you could argue we didn’t do enough due dilligence on him I suppose. Now playing at a level about 9 leagues below us. Kieran was a bit unlucky and think he should’ve been given more chances but not a championship level player , too much of a jump. The signings of Hetherington and Dow in Jan and in addition to Macintosh and slater we are getting back to what we really should be doing in terms of recruitment but that shouldn’t stop us taking a punt on a young lad with potential. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100 percent. On Hetherington I’ve got a feeling he’s maybe re signed for Alloa. Suppose we will find out more soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Slater and McIntosh very solid signings to kick off proceedings Current squad (guess) Gaston Little ToB Hamilton Jacobs Gold McKenna Stewart Dow Balde Slater Hilson McIntosh Definitely out the door - Shanks / Adarkwa / Komolafe / Olusanya / El Mhanni / Banks / Tait / Bitsindou / Gill Potentially away - Allan / Patterson That will be 11 out and 2 in. Looking forward to the rebuild done properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Haven't seen anything confirmed on Hilson either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Hilson I am just assuming, same with Scott Stewart On Bobby I didn’t mean to seem crass but now he’s done in the professional game I left him off. But yeah another jersey to fill. Really hope we actively pursue wingers this summer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally he would be third choice striker at best, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a bit surprized that you seem happy with McIntosh always looked as if he was going to do something when he was with us but by the time he tried to do it the chance was gone, was always quick & strong he may have improved since he left us but Cove supporters tended to be keen to dump him although that was before Rory left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot we paid a fee for him. Seems like a bit of a waste then. I would have McIntosh over Shanks every day of the week. McIntosh looked handy against us last year and going by highlights has changed a lot as a player. Saw him cutting in from the left doing a step over and scoring from outside the box against Morton, looked like a winger which you’d never believe from his time at us previously. Still a unit and pacey but seems to have come on as a player. Im not even so sure Shanks will do that well in League 2 goal scoring wise. He will run all day and put all the effort in and be a useful player but after seeing the number of goals Brechin put up this season I think being a goal scorer in the Highland League means very little in regards to Championship/ League 1 and League 2. Standard must be pretty terrible for 3/4 of that division if Brechin put up the numbers they did.
