Williamson cannot defend. Going forward he can be good but it's just not worth having him in the side for long aimless runs up the wing.

Perhaps we have signed him as a winger *shrugs*

Whilst Ntambwe was obviously a proper jobber, we still need to sign that type of CM again - a ballwinner in the middle of the park, which none of Bannigan, Slater, Harkins or Gordon are. Not having one continually left our defence exposed last year.

If, as it looks, Caldwell is looking for a left back maybe Penrice is being lined up for defensive midfield role.

Caldwell having previously said he doesn't think its his best position, this is highly likely. It's not like we are short of centre mids who can't tackle.

I think Penrice would probably be a better CM than LB, but even if he does end up as a midfielder, he still wouldn’t address the ballwinner issue, as he’s not that type of player either.

Ryan's a great lad, good honest guy but he's a poor player. I hope the fresh start works for him and he gets some form back, however he's been rotten since his two bad injuries (understandable). Only time he really had an impact over the last while was if we were playing lower league opposition or were 3/4 goals up.

Hope Williamson does well, only seems to play well with Higgy in front of him and even then it's been a poor season for him. Do you play a 5 at the back because playing him in a 4 will be a disaster for your defence, but he would be an attacking threat playing wing back. Give him confidence and he'll get up the park maybe you'll improve his delivery and will be an exciting player for you. If he makes a mistake then pray noone goes bat shit mental at him because he will go into hiding.

Sounds like a lesser version of O’Donnell when he was with us, in many respects. Good attacking option with confidence issues. Hopefully this move is what he needs to kick on.

Edit: Also, expected Gordon to sign on again. Happy enough with that. Reckon Cardle will too but have my doubts about Spittal.

Can only presume Caldwell watched a Ryan Williamson highlights reel and failed to notice it was from about 4 years and two leg breaks ago against a bunch of part  timers. Hope he does well though! 

Aye never really worked out for Ryan in the end. Craigen shoehorned into right back was more solid defensively. Reckon he’ll kick in for Thistle though.

Brief points and I was up the back so some things were difficult to hear so might be subject to a small alteration or two

 

 Jelly Britton was asked why Doolan couldnt have been given another job at the club. Doolan stated he wanted to be a full time footballer and that he couldnt do coaching when he was at another club .

“I judged Erskine from Oct to Dec and Doolan from Oct to May and they just didnt do enough, I stand or fall by these decisions” Gary Caldwell

Very happy with budget. Unbelievably we only spent 1/3rd of the allocated January budget despite paying loads of players off.

Hopes to have another 3/4 in for start of pre season over and above Williamson and Gordon

Delay in training ground but will still go ahead

O’Ware will be fit for start of the season

Snedders will start as No 1 next season

No reserve league team next season. They will play Glasgow Cup games and friendlies.

Coulibaly constantly late for training, didnt attend functions, didnt train well. Manager lost patience with him

 

Personally thought Caldwell came across really well and have renewed enthusiasm for next season
