accies1874 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Played a few times for us, reminded me very much of the guy Ben Stirling who was most recently at Hamilton Jesus, unlucky then lads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for Dumbarton last season and is still considered a professional footballer. That's all the evidence that's required as the rest of their squad moves onto the clubs that straddle the fine line between semi-pro and amateur like Ardeer, Gartcairn and Clyde. He also won their Players' Player of the Year I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zicoromaines Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Where is Lewis Strapp expected to be playing next season? (Team that is, before someone says full back) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we get another season out of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of B A R P Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Happy to trust Imrie's judgement on Pignatiello: he clearly knows him pretty well and has an eye on versatility in a small-ish squad. Would be good, though, to get confirmation either way on the players who've been offered extensions or are still talking (in the case of Hamilton, Strapp, Wilson, and Ugwu, preferably confirmation that they're staying). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Strapp dependent, that's probably our first choice back four in place now? Strapp/New - O'Connor - Baird - Pignatiello Then cover from Lithgow and Hynes as it stands, with McLean a maybe. Reilly going elsewhere is disappointing and watching him every week we saw what he brought in his all round play and movement beyond goals, but he's still been a regular in a team who haven't scored enough with only five goals himself. I'd have liked to have him back, but like everyone else in the front three it's realistic to find an upgrade, if difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madton Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I wonder if he will continue with a 3 at the back or at least use it on occasion next season. I'd be surprised if Lithgow isn't playing most weeks. Even with his lack of pace, he is still a good, experienced defender at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morton Supporter Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Aye I would be surprised if we don’t continue with a back 5 next year, as Imrie only seemed to end games with 4 at the back when a defender had to be sacrificed for a more attacking player by substitution when we were after a goal. Saying that, I would like to see us revert to a back 4, with that extra player going into midfield - I felt our three defeats to end the season were directly caused by that (too few men to pick up loose balls and build play from there, particularly when apparently had to be Ian Wilson who has all the dynamism of a corpse). I like to think Strapp might want to give it one more season at Morton, to see if we can make a promotion bid for the first time in his time with us given a full year under Imrie. But I’m sure he’ll be away sadly. Not fussed about overly fussed about anyone else leaving, apart from Jack Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if did continue with a back 5 since Imrie has stated he would rather play with a 4. Based on the players we've brought in so far I'd assume that's what he's going for, 3 new signings, all defenders and all faster than what they're replacing (McEntee excepted). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon eh Ton Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 After those daft rumours about Imrie going to Hamilton, it's good to see him committing to the club by promptly starting to build his own squad (rather than, say, holding off to see where he ends up). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
