The Marly Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Ideally you'd have another CB and wide player, I think. We might get away with such a small squad but you're putting yourself at the mercy of luck with a small squad.Is young Denham out on loan or still at the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a young CB we signed from Celtic who's been training with the first team too, and I've completely forgotten his name now (it's not Duffy, he's younger). Guess they're maybe deserving of a squad role and we just don't know it yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have moved on to a lesser target if the player himself only wants one year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I suppose the smaller squad means that if we do have a covid outbreak we'll need relatively few cases to get a postponement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Although I'm all aboard the Melamed hype train I'd have been very wary of giving a guy you've only seen in videos more than a one year contract. If he does well then obviously try and sign him up for longer and quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on the assumption that someone at the club has borrowed Random's wyscout login and has access to lots of video and data - hopefully more comprehensive than the stuff us commoners have. Even from the highlights it looks like some clubs in that league play on plastic, so at least the Killi, Livi and Hamilton won't be too much of a surprise. At least not because of the football pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 15 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: They get exemptions as they're not meant to have any close contact with anyone apart from opposition players on the pitch, and are in and out of the country fairly sharp. And they're playing Scotland, so that's not going to be an issue either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I've let a lot of the coronavirus stuff breeze over me and certainly have had no interest on speculating on rules and regulations that I'm not following so where are we standing regards this match tomorrow with the news that Odsonne Edouard has tested positive? Will the squad have been tested (and have results) between Sunday and tomorrow evening? If not, surely there are implications regards the match, having seen the Forfar game called off tonight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 The way our season is going, our squad will be forced into isolation and we’ll forfeit our games against Kelty and Brechin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like clubs are testing on the Monday after a game to avoid mid-week disruption. Hamilton had players test positive (announced in media on Wed 16th September) after playing Livingston on Saturday, and the report said Livingston players had already had the all clear. Would guess thats a league wide thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Expecting a first start for Bryson tonight. Also likely a chance for Rooney to play in his more natural position after failing to impress in a back three. Can see Hendry coming back in after the shift May put in on Sunday as well. Is there a chance we could revert to a back 4 again tonight too? We SHOULD have more of the ball with Kelty sitting deep at times removing the additional central defender for another forward down the middle makes some sense to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't go in any game expecting an easy game. They're no doubt above their level with some decent players who have played and done relatively well at a higher level. While they've brought in the likes of Higginbotham alongside the likes of Tidser & Scobbie they've also spent the summer bringing in 5 players from the likes of Peterhead, Brechin & BSC Glasgow who I admittedly don't know that much about but have no doubt they're decent players we have no excuse if we do not win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this will not be easy. They're well funded and well organised, it's a plastic pitch. But it should be nothing more than a good test. It will be interesting to see what the players and managerial response is to the way the season has gone so far. Also first away game since the season opener that I'm particularly bothered about missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
