DLBud Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) With a few days left until the window closes I wonder if we're done or if there's a chance we look to bring anyone else in? IMO we're still short at right back (cover for Naismith) and centre back. Attacking central midfield is also a worry as, after a good start at Motherwell, McGinn and McLean have been pretty poor. Nobody really filling the void left by McGowan so far. A strong, dominant centre back is an absolute must on the evidence of the first few games of the season. I don't want to single anyone out but it is an obvious area that we need to strengthen if we don't want to end up scrapping at the bottom again this season. I wonder if there are plans afoot?

faraway saint Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Tc. Already has said that he won't be signing anymore players How many have we signed and is our squad larger/smaller than last season? It seems we've signed/borrowed quite a few.

FTOF Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 If TC has watched Marc McAusland's performances over the past few games and thinking "He'll do for me", then I fear his tenure will be ended at some point in the near future. I do try to be positive regarding Marc, but he's not improving and if anything he's getting worse. I feel sorry for him as his mistakes seem to be affecting his confidence. New CH Mr.Craig please.

The clamour to replace Cheesy goes on, meanwhile back at the ranch we've still to score a goal in the league. This despite dominating for most of 2 of the matches.

I agree Cheesy get's it in the neck at times but he also has to take responsibility if he fcuks up. The post you quoted is fairly balanced, not the usual hysterics from some lunatics.

Mid Calder Saint Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Gary Kenneth is now with Carnoustie trying to get fit and restore his love for football. He was obviously s talent and is now some way ready for Senior football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, back at the ranch, if you hadn't noticed, our current crop of forwards are mostly youngsters who are all new to regular SPFL football, as opposed to having 4 or 5 years experience at this level.............................. Also, I do agree that Kello hasn't been great, but I haven't had to put up with his gaffes for several years.

I've always felt that a lot of McAusland's "gaffes" were down to his attempts at passing the ball. If the manager just told him to blooter the ball in any general direction away from his own goal then things would be a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager just told him to blooter the ball in any general direction away from his own goal then things would be a lot better. He tried that at the Hamilton game and it ended up with him credited with an own goal I think his passing is one of his strong points now but his overall defending has got worse now I think a centre half has to come in for competition as well for decent cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I didn't want this to turn into a bashing McAusland thread when I started it. If we are going to play a back four then I believe we need another centre half to start every week. Who starts alongside him should be decided on merit. At this stage that would have to be Plummer IMO but that's only my opinion. Plummer and McAusland are not going to be a solid pairing. If Craig can't see that then we could be in for a bumpy ride.
