Off the top of my head, Boyle, Docherty, Fleming, Trouten and McLaughlin Yeah whilst we were in League 1. My point is that you normally get two or three guys that really stand out in that league and can make the step up but it’s never to us. Money obviously comes down to it but McInroy is the first in a long while that a player has been ripping it up in that league and we’ve came in and signed them. Brown seems to have a decent track record for goals in that league so hopefully it’s a goer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and then Clyde for 3 months the next season on loan from us. It was a somewhat tongue in cheek comment. Although I do think he might still be useful next year after a full pre-season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do think he might still be useful next year after a full pre-season. Meh, I’d maybe give him a shot in the league cup.Mathies comments about a smaller squad don’t make for great news for him. I’d imagine we’ll want a few guys to be able to play more than one position comfortably. Being a second or third choice right back and being unable to play anywhere else at this level might mean he’s moved on. I like him though. He showed more heart in the few games he played last season than some of the gutless c***s we’ve had recently. I just don’t know if he’s actually good enough for this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never seem to go for the outstanding players in League 1. This time then! Him and McInroy would be a very decent midfield duo. The latter is more of a match winner and can produce a moment of brilliance as you will fine well know. Brown does a bit more of the break-up of play but is effective going forward. We've signed feck all so far, not even a contract extension. Must still be celebrating the L1 title.

We’ve already got Andy Murdoch and Ben Dempsey signed up long term and they’re both very good at this level. Add to that young Paul Smith and Mikey Hewitt who’ll have a big part to play next season. Brown sounds like someone Bullen would want though. Experienced, runs about, good eye for a pass. I’ll be happy with one of Brown or McInroy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 System thinks Brown is superb. Not seen him play since he left us to know how accurate that is, mind you. Definitely looks like hes ready to step up a level though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think he’ll end up at Queens Park though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking that he shows similarities to Regan Hendry though. Theres often flaws where players who play the majority of games in a different position end up in the wrong section and score high. For examples wingers sometimes drop into the CM section and have huge scores for creative/attacking play. Its a bit shit and annoying but I don't know how to avoid it yet Howie maybe has similarly large scores to Brown as hes doing lots of defensive and possession work as a CB. Just checked and Howie scores high for possession/attacking stuff as a CB, so it'll be even higher as a CM due to positional quirks.

Mathie never actually said we’ll have a smaller squad than this season (it wasn’t particularly big this season anyway). He said we wouldn’t have a big squad. we currently have a squad of 20 (including 5 youth players who id expect to be loaned out. If Moffat and Adeloye re-sign then it takes us to 17 I’d expect us to add another 5 or 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you only really need one of them and concentrate the other funds elsewhere. McInroy will be in demand obviously. I'd like to see him at Cove but he'll want to stay FT and that will rule us out. Edited May 27, 2022 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know he is younger than both Hewitt and Houston so you never know. Certainly has the physical attributes from what I've seen - definitely in the "wouldn't write him off" category for me. All depends who else we sign and how pre season goes. Same applies to quite a lot of the squad just now tbf. Hopefully as a squad we have a good pre season and then the opening 2 Cup games have been kind to us - on paper the easiest side at home up first on a Saturday is a really big bonus IMO - need to be ready for that and win it 5-0 or something as we used to do under McCall.
