FREDDYFRY Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 As ever ultimately it’s what’s on the park that will determine whether folk turn up.. in the off chance we win first 3 game (yes I know!) then it would be interesting to see the crowd numbers and those on the fence might just come. As people are saying match day experience seems to be much better. Certainly be less freezing from October onwards. Also be nice to get it round NLC if we get decent crowds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeLad Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 We have been losing fans last few years because who wants to fork out for a ST and then travel round the country getting pumped and narrowly avoiding relegation every season, we won’t attract any new supporters anywhere we go until we start playing half decent football regularly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally anyone who is a genuine fan of the club. No matter how shit we are or how much the board piss me off with their small minded incompetence I buy my season ticket year in year out and go to as many games (work permitting etc) as I can get toAlso to add one, I'm from neither Cumbernauld or Rutherglen/Glasgow but still go. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It we can turn up to watch the debacle of the Bomber Brown through to Ferguson era then I’m sure we can get through this, at the end of the day it’s up to the supporters to ensure we survive because we don’t have any real investment on the horizon as far as I can see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Carrigan Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 What is everyone thinking re: signing requirements? I think a left back and a centre forward are essential. Rodden just looked too far behind against Hibs and Bonnyrigg, with very questionable decision making to boot. Saying that, Hendji looked fine but he wasn't really tested much against a very poor Morton side. Up top, I wasn't really impressed by Jordan Allan in any of the games. That's not to say he won't come good, but I think we need someone with a bit more presence up front to hold the ball in and set our midfield/wide forwards, especially in L1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with both of these as the key priority areas, would also maybe add another CB for a bit of depth and also gives us the option of a system with three CBs if we want at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) For me a LB too and a central midfield player to compliment Grant, if we are to assume he will start. We all know his strengths but similarly we also know that he will not create nor will he push the team on that valuable 30-40 yards that might create something. I hate to keep repeating it but we need creativity in the middle of the park. Would allow Cuddihy to be the “busy” player without trying to hard be creative which is not his game either. Can’t actually see where Gomis fits in now other than cover or as an effective sub to bring on to protect a lead if we are in that fortunate position in games.

SLClyde Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don’t think Rodden done much wrong against Bonnyrigg, he’s maybe lacking a bit of physicality if anything. If we can get better then we should do it though. Up front we need a target man style striker, we have a good few runners in that area but nobody like McGachie(not that I think he’s good but everything goes through him for Bonnyrigg), to hold it up and bring others into play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a left back and a centre forward are essential. What we need is what we had last year but dont have any more LB - Adam Livingstone CM - Aaron Splaine (who would work better with Grant/Cuddihy rather than Gomis/ANother) or someone creative like a Dylan Easton type CF - someone who can hold the ball up to let others into players as everyone we have up front is too lightweight. So a DGW (now know that isnt going to happen) so someone of the stature of Rob Jones but who can actually use their physical presence to hold the ball up. Reality is i dont think there will be any new signings as currently the squad is 21 which is really 2 or 3 too many so if anyone coming in will likely be on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don’t think there is any chance Danny will bring in another forward, I think he has set his stall on Allan being his ‘marquee’ forward player and that he and Cunningham would / will be the starting front 2. That said McDonald has given him a nice problem to think about. Of course this would not be m thinking, I’d definitely be looking at another body Although as I said earlier we 100% need another mid field player even at the expense of anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawfield shed boy Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) We have 21 players signed including two lads on Amateur terms... Fair chance or more thats our squad complete due to numbers and reasons above.. Last wage i assume was spent on keeping Cuddihy but do agree we seem to lack or or two or is that simply down to some unrecognisable players/signings.. Season starts at Dumfries n beyond...
