nelsjfc Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Are we seeing a settled and effective core unit forming before our eyes or are we seeing cracks being papered over? Not suggesting football fans are prone to knee jerk reactions but I'm uncomfortable with the positivity after yesterday's game. For me it's cautious optimism. The biggest positive was the idea that guys like McCann, Duffy and Gordon might be up to playing regularly at this level. Patience will be needed with all three - and we saw that a couple of times with Gordon and McCann - but there's the possibility they can at least do a job and just maybe actually improve the side. There is plenty still to keep the pessimists awake. Depending on what happens with Foster we may only have 6 first team defenders and 4 of them are exclusively centre halves of which one of whom Wright doesn't want and another looked very shaky in his debut. In addition, there is only 2 first team strikers. We've already seen the effect an injury crisis can have. It maybe that something all clubs around us have at times to a degree. We ran with 6 defenders in spells 2014-2016 but had more flexibility with guys like MacKay, Miller and Scobbie. It certainly feels this season we lack depth though. I've never been as worried as some were and I think a month or so will tell us where we are. I suggested a few weeks ago that we are potentially a few signings from a really decent side and an injury crisis away from a relegation battle and I still think that's where we are. A decent striker (ideally two), another central midfielder and and at least one more body at the back and I think we might be set for a top six battle if the younger players continue performances like Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directors are mixing with them but Stevie Brown is not there. As the open forum gets under way the doors burst open and in walks the chairman. He gives his apologies for being late and then announces a special guest will be at the meeting. In walks Mr May and a beaming Tommy Wright waving the signed contract. Deal done and what a PR coup by the Chairman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Brown will confiscate phones at the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the second thing I've seen linking him with Killie. If hes gone we need full back cover, badly.

Kyle Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) So confirmation that Foster is out and May deal is back on (probably). I’d take that as a trade off, tbh. Mr Angry strikes again by the looks of things. He needs to go to anger management. Edited August 25, 2019 by Kyle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Foster is a massive fud. No loss. Thank f*ck Comrie is gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
