Not surprised after he seen us get pumped 6-0. Get the feeling that the wheels are coming off throughout the club. Any possible deals which appear to be close are not happening , yet in the past I'm sure they would have been sorted quickly . The lack of pace and width needs addressing immediately , even if that means selling some of our assets to provide funds for the right players to come in !

Goodwin said about 4 weeks ago now that he had hoped to have a wide player with pace in over the next few days that never happened, the whole kennedy saga just makes the club look very tinpot. Long season ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players who take ages to say no leave a bad smell. We have gone from being pretty good at bringing players in to pretty awful. The early window signings don't look as good as we had first hoped and the team looks some way short of being competitive in this season's very tough looking top flight.

Early signings looked decent. Still settling in. Games v Dundee and Hearts were tight. Pace at a price we can afford is hard to find. Not moving on McGrath or McArthy as was expected a couple of weeks ago might also have impacted on what we can afford to pay. Just my opinion.

Hope you are right bud 👍 I do think we can play better by having our best players play in position, namely McCarthy and McGrath. Tait is also struggling as is Kiltie. Hopefully the tinker man works some magic. Edited August 24, 2021 by magnus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Based on previous season we will have a few still to come in. I'm expecting two loanees and two out of contract players who have yet to find a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 It's been quiet since the Kennedy thing. I'm hoping we are back to our old ways of keeping quiet with transfer business, but I hope lots is going on in the back ground. If sticking to 352 we need a RWB with pace. We also need someone to play next to Power and get Kiltie out the starting lineup while McGrath is still here. We maybe need another forward who brings something that the likes of Main or Brophy don't have. Maybe someone with Pace too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF, I think that Dennis, while he's not that fast, offers cleverness of movement that is unrivalled in our squad. Just a shame he doesn't also have cleverness of not needlessly elbowing your opponent in the mush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do think that Dennis is a right time, right place kind of striker unfortunately the big punt and hopeful passing doesn't bring out the best in him at all. The elbowing whilst really stupid I can only assume would be sheer frustration after watching misfiring main. Alternatively Dennis has played non league in England where a bit more gets let go.

Doakes Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Bit of an out-there shout - but one player we should be keeping tabs on is Scott Williamson, Cambuslang Rangers 21 goals in his last 10 games Seen him play, really good player, only 20, with tremendous movement off the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Latest info from JJMcG, that we pulled out of the Kennedy deal, as the sheep moved the goalposts at the last minute. Kennedy was desperate to join us. Moves afoot to sign two other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
