There’s a grim 1-1 draw with Stranraer and a 4-0 humping off Livi sandwiched in there. It’s far too early to make confident predictions about this season, but I can’t agree with anyone trying to give the impression last season that the defence wasn’t a big problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to visualise the Great Arbroath Fiasco to concur with the above . We have concede zero goals in three and our best defender and organiser (arguably) is just getting started (Fjortoft) . Things have been upgraded in that department. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Folk can argue about McGinty and Baird but I think it's safe to say those two along with Fjortoft and Muirhead are pretty good options at championship level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re well covered in that department and Houston looked comfortable last night , maybe having Cammy in front of him gave him some confidence . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The team had shape and looked balanced. I agree that we need a bit more bite up front, and for injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird cost about a goal a game last season, maybe the pressure of having 4 players playing for his position has improved him or the other two are keeping him right. None of the defence have looked ropey in the slightest in any of the games so far. McGinty has been so far under the radar that Morton fans must be checking the lineups to see if he’s playing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 That’s just league games. There’s a grim 1-1 draw with Stranraer and a 4-0 humping off Livi sandwiched in there.

We were shite all over the pitch last season with the exception of the goalie. However if our defence wasn’t so anonymous then we’d probably have seen out more wins and draws instead of our routine capitulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Improved 100% at the back And the best defender played 20 minutes and looked class midfield very promising a real good mix add Kelly and this boy Mancini and there’s your class up front work in progress we have a good striker who has still to get fit can only get better After the very poor Morton quotes the boy SALKELD is a real find a managers dream and can play almost anywhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod1967 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Shouldn't have went overboard with the criticism at the start and equally can't get carried away now, but we are improving, looking solid and as everyone rightly has said add some quality bodies going forward and we'll be more than decent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If we don’t sell at least 12/1300 that is absolutely piss poor. Nice day, no football for over a year and an actual competitive game. Looks like another day of no signings, much more positivity recently but that is still pretty frustrating. Thankfully we’ve been better recently, as imagine the heads gone if we were going into our final league cup game in the exact same position we went into our first one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Maxwell was the one that looked most likely, at least taking people's comments about his dad's social media posts at face value. I still have no idea why people think that Burnley are going to part with the best two players in their touring squad either. And if Cammy Smith has his pick of clubs then it's a huge ask for him to go back to Ayr purely on the basis of goodwill. Couple that with there being no real _evidence_ of Kelly returning, that would give the last ten pages of speculation on here a grand total of 0/5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the "Athletic" just lifted it straight from the Rangers news, however personally I'm not too bothered about Maxwell anyway as we have plenty of cover there. I agree that getting those 2 Burnley lads would seem on the face of it a long shot, however surely that's the whole point of being a "partner club" ? On Cammy Smith, if we fail to bring in anyone else previously mentioned then we should have a huge budget still available which should be able to at least match Thistle or anyone else in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a wage structure though, so there will be a limit to what we can offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
