FREDDYFRY Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Docherty is nowhere near as bad as some are saying. When he got himself fit after initial shaky spell he was actually one of our most consistent players. Some fans seem to have a downer on him as he was signed along with a raft of poor players which I think tarred him with that brush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 To be fair, there's a lot worse you could have signed from Clyde. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde85 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 He made probably the worst debut I’ve ever seen for us gave away a goal, a pen then was subbed off at half time. I suppose he did get better as the season went on but always looked overweight to me and wasn’t sad to see him released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance, Looks a poor signing ? After a nightmare start Sparky ended up being one of our better performers last season, albeit in a very poor team. I'd have kept him for his experience if I'm honest, and I think because of that he'll be a good signing for Edinburgh. Knows how to play a level above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His debut was actually Stranraer but aye he was abysmal against Killie. 80 year old Chris Burke was absolutely gliding past him. Should be a decent enough addition for Edinburgh though for reasons already stated by others. I'm interested to see where you intend to use him as I noticed you already have 2 LB's. Seemed to play centre mid a lot for Annan before we signed him but we only ever used him at LB. Edited June 20 by CM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to play centre mid a lot for Annan before we signed him but we only ever used him at LB. We seeemed to settle on a back 3 at the end of last season and assume we'll start the same way again. Our captain (Robbie Macintyre) plays LCB and one of our best players (Calum Crane) plays LWB so probably experienced cover I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine it'll be well received but the club only have themselves to blame. I genuinely don't think the owner really cares to be honest. Jim's update was very, very Corporate heavy, which shows where the board/ownerships priority lies. Our core support, although steadily growing, is probably too small to make any impact on their thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying they'd change anything, they did after all exist purely as a social club for many years when the original Edinburgh City folded. But there's clearly a demand for the football club, and I wonder if they'll look to relaunch it themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Meadowbank opening on the 19th of July - we're due to play Arbroath on the 16th at home. Easter Rd maybe? Hibs aren't playing until the next day. We've also got Cowdenbeath on 'opening night' but not sure how feasible that will be unless we're allowed in early. The lack of the additional stand and no word on whether we're allowed standing isn't exactly filling me with hope and optimism for the move 'home'. In fairness to the club I don't think they are due much of the blame on this part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the actions of the club show they're not interested in the current fanbase and invested totally in attracting new supporters. It won't work with daft name changes and branding but marketing types never seem to understand that part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
