JackD1908 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Good signing if it all goes through. Fought off competition from at least two other teams in our league I'm led to believe. That's the squad complete now for sure, 22 is bigger than we've had before but plenty of Pollok fans weren't happy with a smaller pool last season so no one can complain. Still have 1 or 2 out injured as well. Plenty if of strength in depth. Might have a few centre backs but at least two can play full back and two in Midfield.

You may be right, but it wouldn't surprise me that we move to 3 at the back in some games. That's how we set up on Saturday and also on occasion last season, but the difficulty last season is we didn't have the midfield players to protect the defence that you need in that system. Over the last few season Gallagher has played with injuries or been rushed back early due to lack of alternatives, so thankfully if he needs a rest we hopefully will now have a couple of strong options to bring in.

Assembled a very squad on paper the team to beat, Tony will have to earn his crust keeping them all happy, shouldn't be an issue early in the season but maybe nov/Dec like everyone else with big squads when games are called for 3 weeks and boys left out of team come next playable match tedddy's normally tossed oot. Good luck and look forward to the battles with you ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny131 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Anyone thinking a trend of better players are dropping to the juniors from lower end spfl as it's better wonga for Them? Or am I way off the mark here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rednblack Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Bar one player got to feel sorry for the boys in the pollok youth team with this transfer policy. Signing of mcgoldrick doesn't help the one boy who is getting a look in, the guy getting the big wages will always get picked when it's a straight choice and it does no youth player with potential any good just playing against lower junior sides with no disrespect to them.

rednblack Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Beith have a squad of 21 would be 22 of they resigned Tommy martin gone are the days of 17/18 man squads for top teams you need roughly 20 I agree i was laughing at the 5 defenders who can play centre back. They certainly not going to be naming any players this season on the bench who aren't even in the ground to save face to those who aren't at the game and only see team lines [emoji23].

They may not necessarily be on better wages but they have less costs, so the same is more if you see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean one that can score. tbf I've not seen enough of the new guys yet so Lafferty, Black or Lyden may be that guy ... but jury's out. We have enough midfielders - hopeful that Johnny Allan will be fit enough to make a difference ... Can see the need for a right back - unless Forsyth can play there Im not sure we have anyone who comfortably fits the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
