reborn saint Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I thought the lad Kelly looked decent in the first half. He was keen to push forward. The issue was McGinn and Harkins didnt know who was meant to be playing left mid (or who was meant to mark their right back). Cornell wasnt comfortable with Lennons pass-it-out-at-all-costs tactics - which is a lot of p*sh. I was delighted with Naismiths no nonscence approach. Teale was our best player. Our first goal was superb. I also enjoyed Harkins odd flash of skill. If we are not signing anymore players I'd play Naismith and Goodwin in central defence... Erm....no matter how you see it signings need to be made?....And there will be at least 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're not signing any more players it's a total joke and none of us should pay our hard earned cash to a club who would be taking us all for a bunch of mugs.

pappas cheese Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 If that is the case then I'd gladly welcome the new signings. Preferably no midfielders... The current squad is clearly too thin, lacks forwards and experience in defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Zo Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Supermac will be delighted. Nearly 50 pages! We need more signings, there is no question about that and I am sure Danny will make the required signings before the window closes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football works both ways not one way in favour of the board! It is poor that there's been a lack of investment in the squad. This is a bit off topic, but how can Hibs stump up a 200k bid for a player and we are scrambling about to get numbers to fill the bench? I know they are a bigger club and I'm not suggesting we start forking out silly sums of money, but surely we can get more experienced players in.

Big Yards Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 These days I think it probably does work in favour of the Board. It won't work in the boards favour when they've only got 1500 fans at the games and can't pay the players wages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldorf34 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Ifear we have left it too late ,panic is setting in,we will get dross at this stage of the season too little ,too late but even new players will not help if the tactics are crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearing when we have three more pre-season friendlies, 5 weeks until deadline day and with the club saying that they hope to have at least one signing In place for tomorrow. That's also not including the Newcastle players rumoured to be on their way, something that Newton and Dummy's agent alluded to on twitter. However, you may be right about tactics!

Ayrshire Saints Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Judith advised there was a flash flood warning today for the West of Scotland - who would have thought the lovely Ms Ralston had been following this thread never mind reading B&WA in general. FFS chaps get a grip - we lost a pre season match essentially a fitness exercise. There will be new faces you know that, I know that and so too does Danny so why all the knicker wetting ?

Hitcher Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Some of the posts on this thread talking about the board are utterly hilarious. Do some people actually believe the reason for the small number of signings thus far is that Mr Gilmour & Co are planning to use the transfer budget to buy themselves new ivory back scratchers?

Football works both ways not one way in favour of the board! Aye that will help Danny and the club by withdrawing much needed resources. Being a fan means supporting your team through thick and thin. What would you think if we all refused to pay our hard earned cash and we went belly up? We are not being taken for a bunch of mugs. The club have limited finances and made it clear that we would not go down the route of overspending and bringing us to the brink where we were before SG came on board. This is a tough time for virtually all clubs in Scotland and the aim should be to ensure we have a club in existence and not going through what other clubs have recently had to do. Why don't you wait until our full squad is known and rid yourself of the ridiculous statement of withdrawing your money. That, of course, is your choice and you are free to stay away from the club if you feel that staying away will help us bring on board more players. Btw, most of the the SPL clubs have brought in journeymen and not one of them I would consider a class - other than perhaps McFadden at Murderwell who took a pay cut. Name me one other 'big' signing made by any of the SPL clubs? I think we will be fine when a few loan deals are concluded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell signed McManus, who has Scotland caps and has played at a high level. Hibs appear willing to pay 200k for a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
