rb123! Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 IMO i still think it wouldn't be bad to have at least one cash turnstile available for home and away fans to use. Not as if the rest of the club is run on a cashless basis so wouldn't see it being too much of an inconvenience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that's okay then, clearly the club hadn't considered it from that point of view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I do get why he's saying the majority of this group are in there very early 20s and have potential to kick on if it's the case that we keep the majority of the squad and manage to sign the loan guys full time as long as the new signings are top quality I have no issue Smith and Mathie obviously have a plan and we are not going to be throwing stupid money just to get into the prem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 We have 2 right backs signed up in McCallister and Houston. On this seasons form they aren’t good enough. Do we sign a third? We have no left backs signed, potentially Maxwell and Reading. Would we need a third? The centre half’s, if Baird and Fjortoft are happy to take their chances and sit on the bench for a year, then they maybe aren’t the right kind of player we need. That’s just the defence where you could argue we need change and there probably won’t be any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need around 3 new defenders next season , I just can’t see Fjortoft or Baird being here next year 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Out of this seasons squad of signed players (not including loans) I don't think Fjortoft, Baird, Miller, McAllister or O'Connor will be with us come the first game. I'd definitely try keep O'Connor though and I reckon they'll allow McAllister to go, he's just not up to this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 In midfield we already have Ghondo, Smith, Hewitt and McKenzie signed up, the plan is probably Maxwell, O'connor, McInroy, Murdoch and Dempsey all to stay I would like to see another proper pacy winger added, up front we have got Ashford and Bryden and hopefully Tomi I'm sure we would be looking to add another out and out striker if all those are signed back on and we did major surgery to the back line I would be happy, let's be honest at this stage we are not going to win the league the aim is top 5 and challenging for play offs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Apologies if someone has already done an overview of the squad, but this is what I reckon we have so far... Spoiler Under Contract for 22/23 Goalkeepers Aidan McAdams Defenders Sean McGinty Jordon Houston Finn Ecrepont Nick McAllister Kinlay Bilham* Alex Jeanes* Midfielders Ryan Gondoh Mark McKenize Paul Smith Mikey Hewitt Forwards Fraser Bryden Sam Ashford Michael Moffat (not likely to feature much but will be registered as player according to Bullen) Out of Contract Charlie Albinson Paddy Reading Aaron Muirhead Jack Baird Markus Fjortoft Andy Murdoch Alex Kenyon Daire O'Connor Tomi Adeloye Loans Ending James Maxwell Kerr McInroy Ben Demspey Blaine Rowe *U18s players 13 (14 if you included Moff) are signed up for next year, but I can see Gondoh (going by gametime) and McAllister being allowed to leave, so that takes it down to 11 (again, including a couple of youth players) Out of the out of contract players I'd like to keep Murdoch, Adeloye and O'Connor. Albinson isn't a bad keeper at all, and not against him staying, but I'd hope that it'll be someone who can really challenge McAdams as I think he's been making a few mistakes recently. Loanees I'd like to see us try to sign permanently would be McIrony, Dempsey and Maxwell. Realistically that means out of this years squad of 27 or so, that's possibly around 15/16 senior players staying.

D'Jaffo Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 I think it’s fair enough that we keep the core of the squad together given that the core is actually pretty decent I.e McInroy, Murdoch, Dempsey, Adeloye and Reading. People will say that this squad needs gutted because we finished 8th but I would argue it’s far more important that Bullen now actually fields his best side and we get rid of the deadwood like Baird, Fjortoft etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 It all depends on who exactly stays and who leaves, if the ones we lose are McInroy, Adeloye, Murdoch, Dempsey, Maxwell and Reading then we're in serious trouble as the rest are all either squad types, young guys coming through or simply not good enough. Given that we now have this international licence then I'm expecting / hoping for a wee surprise signing or two but the bottom line is that we need to improve the squad on what was here last year and get a reliable / quality nucleus of 6 or 7 guys plus at least one or two "old heads", otherwise it will be another long season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrfix Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Tbh I think that there is an argument on keeping a good core of the squad together. There is obvious deadwood which needs binned. Baird, Fjortof for two. However when McCall got us promoted he kept the squad together with a few additions and we came out the traps like a bullet and only started faltering in the latter part of the season. I think Arbroath did something similar this season. We do need some changes especially in defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 With all this talk about contanuity and keeping the core players together makes me quietly confident that we have had positive discussions with the guys we are Allington agreement with we want to keep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I'm feeling pretty positive about next season I have to admit, absolute polar opposite to this time last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
