mychurch Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I would be surprised if Sheridan goes. While he should not be starting games, he does have the ability to come on give defenders problems. With 3 forward players having left the squad, we need 1 or 2 quality replacements. I know a lot of people are wanting new defenders and midfielders, but a Peter McDonald style finisher, who puts away some of the chances we create, has to be the priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s not one of our players I’d be gutted to see go, like Cammy Fraser, Tosh McKinlay, Tommy Coyne, Keith Wright, Billy Dodds, Neil McCann, Gary Harkins or Greg Stewart (accept Cammy but I know I’m a bit irrational with him). There’s no special players in our squad, nobody seems irreplaceable. Any one of them could go and I wouldn’t give a shit, the closest being nae neck, he at least tries to be entertaining. Probably McCowan, and he can't even get a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment seems to be a bit of a concern under Bowyer. I appreciate it is a new market for him but French seems the only regular and Robinson seemed a pler when available. Any reason not much happening yet at the top of the road? Thank you. My opinion it’s a combination of realising it’s a harder job to convince players from down South to cross the border and a lack of support from the people at the top.

I guess there will be an element of McPake's squad taking up wages and squad places. So may need a few bodies out the door? I see McGinn left, anyone else left apart from the recalls of the temporary signings? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be worth having a look at Ruari Paton at QOTS. Seems to fit that mould. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we were trying to get at least 3 out of the door before the end of the last window; Byrne, McGinn and another I can't remember off the top of my head. I'd be worried if we haven't added anyone in to the squad whilst a couple more departures but I'm trusting that there will actually be signings brought in! If there is an outside chance that we may get Robinson back then I'd be delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D TOTAL Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 In some cases departures are just as important as recruiting, if that’s the focus them fair enough but at least dip into the loan market, got to be someone out their that’s getting little to no game time or a promising youngster that’s just needing a chance to prove his worth? im going out on a limb and saying no one will come in and that he’s happy enough with his squad till end of season where next season budgets can be addressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Bowyer saying we'd agreed a deal with a striker from down South at the weekend. The club and the agent of the striker both thought it was the best deal for the guy but he pulled out at the last second wanting to see if he could get another club down South. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Bowyer on Coulson: "He’s been with us for a few days. Scott Paterson knows him from his time at Cowdenbeath. He’s a young lad who has come in and trained with us. He has looked OK but that’s where we are at the moment with it. What sometimes happens in January is some clubs who try to help out players get sorted with a new club. Sometimes you get a player given a free transfer in January to get his career going. At this moment, there might be another one coming in on a trial basis. But we are probably looking for a more permanent fixture if I’m being brutally honest.” Basically, Coulson is just here as a favour and being looked at for the development team but nothing major in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a particular surprise about Coulson. The lad is pretty much untested at this level and didn't really get a sniff in a team where Aiden Connolly is the only winger who has had consistent game time. Coulson needs first time games and if he's not getting them with us there's pretty much no chance he's moving upwards to get them. I'd suspect he'll find a league 2 or lowland league team who'll give him a deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wouldn’t surprise me if that was Tomi Adeloye. He seemed to suffer from home sickness when he was up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pens_Dark Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Club decided that the cost of switching on the USH wasn't worth the game it was accommodating. In that case just fucking forfeit the match and move on to more important things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We released Derik Osei yesterday and Luke Strachan has gone out on loan. Can't imagine Osei was on much but his salary along with McGinn's would hopefull;y allow us to bring someone in (providing we can get someone to come) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
