Granny Danger Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Dundee Hibernian said: The only thing I've seen Csaba quoted as saying concerns the management team from last season, and their careless signing structure, including failure to properly evaluate the players brought in. He should have kept his mouth tightly shut on that one, if we are all being encouraged to start afresh. The ‘it wisnae meh fault’ defence. I’d like him to explain: Why he doesn’t leave players up when the opposition has a free kick/corner. Why he had Lyng in the squad ahead of Matty Smith. Why he brought Lyng on. Why he waited so long in games to make subbies then make the wrong subbies. Why go to two up front late on in games, look more dangerous, then revert to one up front the following game. Simple questions really. Edited June 19, 2018 by Granny Danger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi and St Mirren showed that last season. Quality wise most players and teams are all much of a muchness, and what we’ve signed I wouldn’t say is better than what we’ve had over the last two seasons. It’s all about what Csaba can get out of them and, based on what we saw last season, I’ve not got high hopes. Spot on. Sadly I have run out of greenies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 We've no idea how good half the signed players are, there could be some proper Lyngs, Zwicks and Taggarts in there. Actually very likely. Still two or three very solid signings away from challenging for promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely a decent thing to do. Also shows potential future players that they'll be thought of 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still two or three very solid signings away from challenging for promotion. Hmmm not sure I agree with the first part of your statement. All but 3 of the signings (and two of them are goalkeepers) have played multiple seasons in either the premiership or championship and therefore are somewhat known quantities, having had at least some success at their clubs. Whether or not they are any good for us is a different matter, but there at least appears to be some consideration and rationale behind the signings, which has not consistently been the case over the last few years. I wholeheartedly agree with the second part though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree with the second part though The bolded bit is more what I was getting at, that until we see even the fairly known quantities in tangerine we're not going to know if they have what it takes. A clearout and almost entire new starting lineup is definitely an exciting prospect, seeing new potential heroes. But I also get the fear that we'll be a month into the season wondering WTF we've done, again. Imagine a Lyng in goals, one at the back, one in midfield, and one up top, with two more waiting on the bench.

You just know these foreign keepers will be pish and we'll have Neil Alexander sitting on the bench, not registered as a player. I assume he has decided himself to give up playing, as he could have stayed at Livingston. Their fans seems very disappointed he has left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedLoon63 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Happy enough with those two signings. A striker, winger and 2 hard asf centre half’s and I’ll be happy with our signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black and White Tragic Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) I reckon Morris signing for you guys on Friday and Emil Lyng signing for us on Monday should see Halbeath Road thread reach DEFCON1. I recall comments on BBCRadio Scot on whether he'd actually seen a football before, so could be just right for completing the stealthy underdog side AJ is looking for. Falkirk fans will drop in to mock in their hundreds (sorry one's) and you folks will do the same. Looking forward to it.

Aye, I think the fact that most of them will have experience of the Championship will help. I'm certainly much more comfortable with the prospect of integrating Clark, Aird and Wardrop into the team than I would be if we were plucking randomly from the English lower leagues and abroad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will win the league by default with Dunfermline signing dross like Flood and Connolly and Falkirk's Glenn Hoddle-esque failed English player academy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
