He seems to have been pish everywhere he's played recently. Didn't exactly set Dens Park alight with his contribution. Guys like Moult and McHugh managed to perform in our weaker teams.

Well-Made Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I think that the wry smile was because he has got his pacy front man in... he's just ad to wait for him to cut down on his other role.... I can exclusively reveal that I believe it to be, after hearing from my sister's, mother's, brother's only nephew that it is Usain Bolt,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postiejim Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Early days but after today's debacle the ? has to be asked. Have we put together another squad of odds and sods ? I'm starting tae get the fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm not even close to that feeling. I don't think the squad has even been finished getting built yet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Today was a disastrous day at the office. Sometimes you learn more in defeat than you do in winning . We're still work in progress and the league cup midweek endeavours do have an impact . Just ask Neil McConnell. We do need a couple of players in and I'm sure that'll be happening soon.

gee Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I've been impressed by some of St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Dundee and Thistle's signings this window. Still hopeful we have a credible addition coming in an offensive position... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 The Accies team looks solid compared to the other relegation contenders. After watching the game today you have to ask are we too inexperienced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 The Accies team looks solid compared to the other relegation contenders. After watching the game today you have to ask are we too inexperienced? WTF, even by your standards that is utter bollocks, the average age of the team may be low but most if not all of those guys have played hundreds of games at whatever level they were at before they came to Fir park. If by inexperienced you mean they are not diving cheating b**st**ds like some of the Accies team i.e. Imrie and try to play football then yes we are inexperienced, but i know what style of Football i would want to watch.

Lobey_Dosser Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 There is a naivety about the team with some of our most experienced players - Moult, Carson and McHugh - making very poor decisions that have thrown away the last 2 games. Hopefully just a blip that we'll learn from quickly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 There is a naivety about the team with some of our most experienced players - Moult, Carson and McHugh - making very poor decisions that have thrown away the last 2 games. Hopefully just a blip that we'll learn from quickly. There's a naivety about the team full stop. More excusably in younger players certainly. As was said earlier, St Johnstone, by comparison, are a streetwise team and yes, unpalatable or not, that did involve conning the referee yesterday. In terms of football alone, our younger lads must learn for example Kipre should have launched the ball out of the park before Carson picked the ball up. "Streetwiseness" is also a quality some managers actively seek and encourage in players. Two players who come to mind were Eoin Jess and Scott Booth at Aberdeen. Even as teenagers they knew all the dodges, cons and tricks. Dundee United were also very good at coaching this aspect of the game. With some players, rashness is just part of their make up and thats a fact of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dossertillidie Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 In terms of players being added up top, if things were to remain the same what would you buy to compliment what we have at the moment I.e., small and tricky forward like McDonald Strong centre forward type like higdon Fast player to run off a centre forward type? Interested to know what people or more specifically who folk would go for? The way I see it is we have Bowman- typical old fashioned centre forward type Fisher/tanner- appear to be reasonable link up players Moult- has a bit of both about him Intrigued as to who we could go for that would compliment any of the above up front Either way another forward/winger and defender in my opinion is crucial for the season ahead. Can only see 1 maybe 2 out of that coming in tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only see 1 maybe 2 out of that coming in tho Priority for me is finding a striker with genuine quality. Whether he's good at linking up the play or threatening with his pace, we can adjust our style accordingly. The important thing is that we find a striker who puts defences on the backfoot and offers a bit of composure in front of goal. Find that player and he'll compliment Moult and Fisher well. If the departure of Bowman can help finance such a move then so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 As the squad currently stands I think our likely finishing position is bottom six but safe. We have some interesting options in every position, but I don't think we have the defensive options to put a run of good league results together. A lot can happen in the next 2 and a bit weeks, and I think we'll lose at least one for our better players, but here's hoping it isn't Cadden, as I think if we can keep him and add the fabled pacy striker then we have a chance to do a little better than expected. However, I dont think that signing the one defender is going to change much, as nothing I have seen so far suggests there's many clean sheets in our future.

Haggischomper Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think the pacy striker might just be a recycled big German centre half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
