  1. I think McGregor will come good when he gets some game time under his belt, remember how we were raving about him in his first season? Him and Cheesy at the back, I unfortunately think our captain is done. Our main problem this season is a goalkeeper! You can forgive one or two mistakes a season but from the pre season he's had to having an absolute shocker yesterday we can't keep him for the year I don't see him being safe at all.

  2. Maybe McShane was injured last season but he only got 4 starts for Accies and scored 1 goal.

    Reilly's season wasn't a great deal better thats why I'm reserving judgement on that decision to this season. If McShane bangs in the goals this season then I'll be disppointed we let him go.

  3. Have to say I was sceptical that we kept Reilly over McShane after the later seemed to do so well on his loan spell at Hamilton and I think it will be this season that will tell if it was the right decision. Both were out for the vast majority of last season but McShane has shown he can score goals. I think left wing is going to be problem area for this season as we try to get the right mix of players that can slot into either ST, LM or CM. Time will tell but agreed Reilly has had a good pre season.

  4. St Mirren circling Danny Grainger

    St Mirren have an eye on former Hearts defender Danny Grainger, after he was released from the club earlier this year. Grainger is back to full fitness after a spell of injury, and Saints boss Danny Lennon looks set to make his move. (Daily Express).

    .....in The Scotsman gossip round-up this morning.

    Could be a shout would be a bit worried about the number of different injuries he's had though but at this point I'm thinking getting a left back in is desperate! I'm sure we don't have many other options of quality left backs to bring in.

  5. I thought he looked pretty close to being able to make the step up.

    I've already posted elsewhere this morning that I wouldn't have a problem seeing him starting games on the basis that we've got experienced cover at right back. The only way these lads will proress is if there are given a chance, and it looked to me that Naismith is ready for his.

    he made a couple slack passes and din't look comfortable on the ball, he didn't do anything that would make me think he's ready to play SPL football at 19 so no way I would want him as a starting centre back next season, I thought the same about Cheesy at that age as well though and think going to Queen of the South changed him into a player. I think another loan deal would be best for naismith and a couple the other young lads.

  6. What did Naismith do wrong on Saturday?

    I didn't say any of them did anything wrong and of course he was out of position but would you say he's SPL ready for next season? I've seen him play a good few times and I don't think he's ready to step up. Like I said though I don't agree with anyone hammering into them the young players just don't seem (yet) to posses SPL quality. We need to be looking at a couple new players.

  7. I have to say even though i don't agree with hammering the young lads at the club the reality is they don't really seem to be very good. Compared to the promising youngsters we've seen in the past they just seem to lack confidence and really uncomfortable on the ball. One of the major concerns for me for next season though is how uncomfortable Cornell looked on the ball, McAusland and Van Zanten don't really like the short pass out from goal and I just didn't like the start of the link up play coming out from the goalkeeper. Van and Cheesy have their good points as defenders but playing the ball to their feet from goal isn't one of them.

  8. I don't think it lacks ambition, if he's guaranteed first team football at Dumbarton we can't give him that and who's to say after one or two years at that level he won't get picked up by a bigger team. With our budget next year he may be kept instead of loaned out and might find himself more often than not on the bench behind Vanzy and if Barron is back fit.

  9. Don't see what all the fuss is about, the squad that saw us finish 2nd bottom in the league has been deemed as not good enough and as a result most of the players responsible for this are being punted. If we still haven't added quality by the start of August by all means feel free to moisten ones pants.

    I need to agree, I think it was pretty clear Sammy and McGowan would go and a long shot that we would keep any of the loan lads. Anyone else leaving I don't see as a major concern and we should be positive that some big players for us this season have signed back up. I would of maybe offered Carey a new deal but can see why Danny hasn't the rest is no great loss. Major rebuild and lets see.

  10. I would not worry. There will be a number of good keepers looking for a club in the summer. There will be a few new names next season within the entire team. I would like to judge young Adam and hope Danny gives him a game now that the season has ended for us and we are unlikely to achieve a higher position.

    Robertson as well, want to see if he's ready for the first team.

  11. The keeper position is our biggest worry next season, I've never really rated Sammy in the same breath as Money, Ludo, Combe, Gallacher who we've had whilest growing up. They are keeper that have won us games and made spectacular saves, I don't think Sammy is in that group and I hope we bring in someone with a bit of experience who can be up there.
