ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Why we assuming Ritchie is gods gift he played with Cumbernauld colts and is 19[emoji23] most people on here where preaching experience >Kerr/McKay...Him and McKay are literally our only centre mids so currently yes of course he makes the team, I would expect other arrivals to compete for that position before the start of the season in October. We have no idea how good Ritchie is but he's came through a decent academy at Hearts, McCann and MacDonald were in similar positions when they signed in that they came through Premiership academies and hadn't played any senior football. It would be overly optimistic to claim Ritchie will do as well as them when I don't know anything about the lad but there's no reason why he can't do well. I don't expect him to be in the team when we start playing competitive games but don't write him off before he's had a chance to even train with the squad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Jack Leitch has left Peterhead. Seems to have done really well for them and could be a decent signing if he returned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As before I rarely see "returners" positively ( except Coyle) but watching Leitch in the Peterhead games last season , its a no from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Diamond Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I didn't rate him when he was at Airdrie and i wasn't that impressed with him at Peterhead so it's a no from me ,but i would give it another week and i think we'll be impressed with our new signings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leitch did well when Peterhead won league 2, struggled with ourselves and Peterhead in league 1. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Stirling or Queens Park.... More new signings without being overly critical of recruitment at the moment, the signings so far have not been overly impressive... I still think we need at least 3 players for the starting 11, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tory Boy Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Although on paper its a squad of 21 a few of them are young players you wouldn't expect to be getting much game time. I wouldn't be surprised if at least couple of them were sent out on loan for a bit of experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love your defence. I think at this point in order to field a team of 11 we’d have to stick a goalie outfield. Anyway, just wondering if there’s been any real insight into Robert yet? Are you lot training? Not sure how hybrid teams work re: furlough etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how hybrid teams work re: furlough etcMidfield still needs work as McKay and Ritchie are in there as the only options rather than as the best options. Can't imagine us fans will know much about Robert's ability until the pre-season friendlies and that's if the club have sorted out the plans to stream live games by then. The club recently announced that the squad would begin training on the 15th of August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm really enjoying these type of signings. No idea if they're any good but much more interesting than signing someone from another League One team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr November Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 So far this summer we've signed players from Stranraer, Truro City, Hearts, St. Johnstone, Montpellier and SC Dnipro 1. Certainly a much more diverse list than usual... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any jobs going in a foreign country for me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
