I think the prevailing view of some is that if Black can get properly fit (which he wasn't), him and McNab will be a formidable CM pairing, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KH4 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) I wish McNab had been able to go one step further and shine at League One level, although to go from Lowland League to League One is still an achievement in its own right. When you take into account his versatility and the type of player he is (someone else used the word "engine" which is spot on), a League One ready McNab would be a tremendous asset, and at 27 he's an impressive signing for Cowdenbeath. To be fair he's not stood out for me as being especially unsuited to League One, and I wouldn't put a significant amount of money on all of our new/future signings being better than him.

Seen glimmers of great play from him at times the last couple of seasons. Still a fair few bodies for tids to conjure up before the season starts as we are looking a bit threadbare to say the least! Sure there will be more to come, with consolidation in league 1 being the main aim! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree consolidating would be brilliant this season coming especially with all the changes , would bite your hand off for 7th place already , leagues gotta be between the full timers as this will probably be their last year staying full time for most if they stay here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomessi1984 Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Supporters invited in tomorrow to provide views on the conference league. Pretty clear which way the club will vote but good to see them engaging as always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great signing at Highland league level. Consistent if unspectacular but should stroll it for you at that level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Very quiet on the signings/rumours front since the last batch. Would be expecting a few more through the door near end of month I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage, with our squad still to be assembled by Bartley, I'd not be separating QOS from either Accies or Cove ... it would also be too simplistic and sheer folly to rule out Alloa from that group simply because they're not FT. Falkirk will be clear title favourites from the outset, no question there. Montrose, Kelty and Stirling ... I've no real knowledge, but I get the feeling they'll not be in trouble. Most likely to struggle will probably be Annan and maybe Edinburgh (lots going on behind the scenes there) but I expect the Dumfriesshire derbies to be tasty affairs and will no doubt cause Queens problems ... and of course we only ever beat Accies or Alloa when Halley's comet comes into view! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part time - last season we had some ‘Full Time’ players living In the town some signed and some on loan from England who done their own training a couple days a week but overall we are a completely part time footballing operation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope and think (despite it being so early in pre-season) you are right with this prediction. I think last year we showed that we were solid enough and we obviously had Carrick and others in the side who could bagged goals. We've added a bit more quality in Hilson and looking at the squad balance, I would expect another 1 maybe 2 to come in in the more attacking areas, so I think we will be ok this season, by and large. Darren Young has assembled a good squad, one that can hopefully be likened to Montrose when they came up.....maybe not in style, but in the way they've never really been in any danger of the drop (from memory) and have gradually built under a consistent manager. I would take that. PS - apologies for going off topic everyone Edited June 7, 2023 by BB_Bino 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halley's Comet pop around twice last season? Our bad record against Alloa is exaggerated. Given the relative size of both clubs and the fact that Alloa seem to absolutely steal results from us on a regular basis it's understandable but it's not actually as bad as everybody claims. They do very well at Palmerston where we've beaten them only once in our last 8 meetings (though we had won 6 in a row before that). Our record up there is decent actually. We've won 6 and drawn 4 of our last 14 games there. Our record at Hamilton on the other hand truly is atrocious. Against Accies themselves we've lost our last 10 visits, and won only once in our last 20 visits. Our home record isn't massively better. 3 wins in our last 16 home games v Accies. 51 minutes ago, 1320Lichtie said: Wouldn’t be too arsed about the level of FT player at clubs other than Falkirk.
