Housecaptain Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 A Championship league opener against one of the Dundee teams would be a good money spinner on the day we unfurl the League 1 winners flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After opening day last season, we'll be watching that scoreline with interest... hoping against hope the Arabs or Dees don't rip you a new one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 In the 4 home games against the Dundee teams alone I reckon there'll be 14,000 through the gates. That's phenomenal for us. Add in the extra league money we will receive and the visits from Partick and Dunfermline then next season should be some boost financially. If we could get a good cup draw too then we are laughing. Hopefully we can get some good players in through the door to help us out on the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To survive this league and avoid a “Brechin “ we are going to have to show a lot of ambition. There are probably 2 or 3 teams we need to target for points in order to survive. It’s a very different landscape. We know that Dick is the maestro of derby matches so maybe we can upset the neighbours too! Exciting times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The AGM next week is going to be very interesting.

It’s a very different landscape. We know that Dick is the maestro of derby matches so maybe we can upset the neighbours too! Exciting times.You will quite comfortably avoid a Brechin. The players you already have signed up are lightyears apart from the jobbers Brechin signed up for the Championship. Quality additions will absolutely be required to survive but with Dundee Utd staying down you Campbell should have a fair whack of cash to play with. Three or four good loan additions are a must IMO but you have a decent core of a squad there. Weirdly enough I have a sneaky feeling Campbell might get found out a bit in the Championship with one of the weaker squads. I do hope he proves me wrong as I have had a massive soft spot for him since his Stone Cold incident at Somerset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the problem is there's no real quality part time players that stand out as guys we could sign. Austin was potentially one but he's a no go now. Definitely the forward areas we need to improve in, confident of our defence and keeper being up to scratch but in the final third Bobby aside (who I'm sure will do well again he's already out training) we are struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 League cup draw: Hibs, Alloa, Stirling Albion, Arbroath, Stenny. Pffft. Still, a chance of getting to the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The problem with Spence is he has lost a yard of pace, playing against us for years I always found him as a playing on the shoulder of defenders type striker who was dangerous in behind and can stretch defences, he doesn’t have that anymore therefore not really much to do with fitness. He would have to really hit the ground running in pre season or face being a bit part player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afc_36_0 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Worrying that a 26 year old is loosing a yard of pace already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Spence was always just a poacher for me. Never thought he was ever pacey. Confidence and a bit of luck in the right team then it will all fall together for him I'm guessing. Hasn't fitted in or got that with us so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexico Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Happy to be proved wrong but he’s just pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It may be that it’s just sharpness he is missing then, his record would suggest that he’s not pish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
