Fair enough , just posting what was sent to me. However, if the Dundee Courier is as reliable as the PDE ..... fwiw, IF it is permanent , i would think a player at Loys level would have a get out clause written in for possible relegation. IF its a loan deal, is it till season end with a view to a wee part -x for Mallan ? Who knows ? We`ll just have to wait & see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he gets a couple of days training in before Saturday. I`m not in favour of this turning up at the last minute and "yer in !" Unless of course your name is Esmael Goncalves .

Saints fan that works for BBC and usually spot on with all saints related news. I have no issues with Loy not being able to play in the Dundee game next week. The league is our main focus.

melmac Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Could be a good signing, how is he at centre half / left back / right back because that is where the issue really is (and defensive centre mid I should add). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Saints Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Good record in this division with Falkirk however the way we have been playing we could sign Aguero and still not get out of the mire as we simply do not make enough chances for strikers. It's not as if we have been missing loads, yes we haven't been scoring but I'm not sure that's down to the strikers to be honest. He may provide a better target of better link up play which might help but the lack of creativity from the midfield is glaring. As Sutton hinted at in his recent interview we would be better getting the ball wide and bombarding the box with crosses with 2 strikers like Sutton and Loy looking to get on the end of them.

santaponsasaint Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 it's alright signing Loy. But the supply to the strikers has been abysmal. Tells you how good a goalscorer Sutton to have scored 9 in all competitions. But good luck to Rory Loy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will mean we can play two up front and Sutton will have more chances created for him too. So often we seem to be punting the ball in to the box and nobody is there!

Saint Garf Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Quite happy with this. A goal every second game at this level, much better player than he was when we had him on loan as a kid, definitely improves our options up front. Assuming he plays at the weekend he'll be making his debut against a former club, visiting old stomping grounds often works well for strikers. Fingers crossed.

Against QoS we had 15 shots on goal and they had 8. Beat 3-0. Against Ayr we had 21 shots on goal (including a friggin missed penalty) and they had 8. 1-1 draw. I think we are creating chances but cannot put them away. The forward line is as culpable as the defence for the position we are in. Hopefully Loy can take advantage of the chances being made.and stick some away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mc Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yes as am down south these are the sort of sad things I look at for info as I don't get to games. Keep this number of shots up with decent goal scorer on the park and we'll get goals. Where is Captain Sensible these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
