squeezeboxson Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 11 hours ago, Brian Carrigan said: You would be highly wrong. The whole team was built around Easton playing in the hole behind the striker. We were looking sharp and pretty ruthless. When he got injured, Ferguson had no plan B and we had no one good enough to fill the gap. The drop off was more than noticeable. The injury genuinely took the wind out the entire club. Long story short we only won one game between the middle of November and the end of March (1 win in 18 in the league) and needed to controversially sign Mr. D. Goodwillie to keep us up. I just don't buy that Dylan Easton was the difference between Clyde finishing 9th (I checked ) or 1st Best part time team in the country... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thank you for your input, person who didn't attend any of those games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoveRangers1922 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Cove sign from Ross County, their previous captain Iain Vigurs (33) and Ross Draper (32). Both were released at the end of the season. Both 3 year deals. I thought 2 year would have been sufficient! Vigurs is a central midfielder and 6ft 5 Draper can play that position and as a CB. Decent signings and will add experience and aggression; certainly from Vigurs. I wouldn't say this was the area we desperately needed strengthening and worry slightly how they will fit into the side. I guess our midfield will line up like; Masson Fyvie Vigurs Yule Would leave Scully, Draper, Leitch as midfielders on the bench. A striker and our recruitment is finished and we will have a stronger and more rounded squad than last year.

Cove looking very strong, especially if they add another striker to compete with McAllister to partner Meggingson. Hard to see past you boys as favourite's for the league.

The Moonster Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Shree year deals! Hartley absolutely chucking them around. Two great signings for League 1 though, going to be an interesting battle at the top this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vigurs although aging will be a good addition to play alongside Fyvie in the middle of the park as long as he keeps his aggression under control. According to the County fans Draper is more a CM than a CB and they aren't overly taken with him. Interesting to see how he will cope in L1. He might start on the bench. A striker and play 4-4-2 and we will have a decent starting XI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy if you ask me as not all of them will work out; lucky if half of them work out. Vigurs seems the more capable player than Draper but we'll see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Incredibly strong signings from Cove and a statement of their intent, but three year deals to players their age seems a bit mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 A three year deal for Draper is absolute insanity. He's barely played the last couple of seasons at Ross County because of near constant injury problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea if Hartley is planning on using him as a CB or CM. Needs to be the former to fit into the team in my opinion. Hopefully can stay fit and dropping down 2 divisions benefits him.

Vigurs will be a classy signing for you although he may well infuriate with his lack of application at times. Still can play a sumptuous through ball and pick out a team mate with ease. I completely forgot we face off against each other in the League Cup group stages (again) so it will be interesting to see how the ex County boys all do against each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ever got up to the Championship I reckon we'd be hybrid until we manage to stabilise ourselves but the end goal would be to go full time. That could be long time off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract length was the clincher and I'm guessing proximity to his home city played a part too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
