minijc Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 How are you guys looking ahead of the new season? What would your best 11 be and the formation the manager is going with and who will be the key to your season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly? We look poor. Clearly a team in transition. I think ICTChris mentioned somewhere that we've signed about 10 new players so it's going to take a long time for them to bed in and under Robbo we've changed our formation as well from the 4-2-3-1 we have used for most of the last 5 years. So far we've typically lined up along these lines: Ridgers Seedorf Mckay Warren Calder Polworth Draper Vigurs Mulraney Baird Oakley Seedorf has looked the best signing by some distance so far whilst Baird and Oakley look like our most promising strike partnership. Most of the other signings have looked poor so far and there is still the potential for Draper to depart before the transfer window 'slams shut' which would be a big blow. Tremarco and Doran, probable first team selections, are both out until November apparently. Fon Williams and one other senior player have been told they are free to move on. Rumours are it is Raven who has been told he is free to leave. With all these changes I will be staggered if we get promoted. Realistically I think sneaking into the play offs in 4th place is our best bet but I would not be at all shocked to see us miss out altogether. We've had a shocking close season, just read the thread for the details, and it's hard to really give much of a f**k just now given everything that's going on. A really stunning decline from the heights of the 2014/15 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be signing Seedorf and Calder in January if that's the info you're looking for, and going by previous seasons.

Calder has been average at best so far. The only thing he has done of note is to attack a Forfar player which I missed sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Off Topic I know - But I'm totally surprised that Cathro, sacked this morning from Hearts, is already lined up for a job at Wolves and according to the Wolves site he was at their stadium yesterday in talks with the management team. Probably a decent GTF payoff from Hearts and then straight into a good paying job at Wolves, feckin shocking. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel for the guy because I'm pretty sure it's only a 16 year old kid trying to be some kind of information source on Twitter but he doesn't half chat some total pish and changes opinions on a whim when folk start challenging him. Seems to be a lot of disproportionate hate for him though. A big problem with him is he doesn't help himself. Constant outrages, takes any form of criticism with a heads gone word salads, blocks at a drop of a hat and seems to think any hooliganism is justified if said hooligans sing songs. I've no doubt he's a big fan, but needs to have a word with himself. Edited August 1, 2017 by Highland Capital 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 He blocked me. Then months later presumably unblocked me and requested to follow me again (my account was locked at the time), then removed his request and blocked me again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. We're far too mild-mannered and collegiate, and need more in-fighting. Look at Celtic: their supporters come to TCS and stab each other, and they always win the league. The guy from North Stand Rising and @Highland Capital should be madeto fight to the death in the centre circle before the Dundee Utd match, to inspire the players with their gladiatorial spirit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
