He deserves his chance at a higher level. He's been excellent the last couple of seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, always good to see players getting another chance - he started well when he came on loan to us but was pretty average for the rest of his time, albeit in a team pretty low on confidence. The past few years at this level has really seen him grow and he is well worthy of a move to a higher level. Big boots to fill however, Orr and Collins will be big losses. Does the club have a big budget because of the cup run? I know that from the shires experience big teams at home in a cup doesn't necessarily mean a big pay day due to extra stewarding and police costs etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they made money last season but in the current situation I'd be very surprised if it was used on signing players. The joys of football at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born To Run Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 There are two ways to look at this. We've got a tremendous base with strength in nets, at the back and an ever-improving midfield. Assuming big Paolo returns, we only need a couple of strikers with pace. We get the recruitment right and there's no reason why we can't challenge again - at worst, I still expect us to be a capable top half side. I've got faith in Swifty and his contacts tbh! He brought in Collins under the noses of many and look how well that turned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know we've lacked options down that left side and although we've been extremely lucky that Jamie Mills has stayed clear of injury, if we're to continue to compete at the top end of the league we need options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifty would have known there was a possibility he would lose all three (Collins, Orr and Grehan). He's done better than most managers with his pick ups over the years. I think it might be harder now though with the West of Scotland joining the pyramid as he had previously plucked a few lads from the West juniors i.e Thomas Collins, Jamie Hamiltion etc and Covid-19 wouldn't have helped matters. Still reckon BSC will be a top team in the league but it's going to be tougher with Kelty and Bonnyrigg seemingly settled minus a few signings yet to come.

Last season we shared New Tinto with Dumbarton, I think Scotstoun and Toll Cross have also been used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
