The fact he was continually given game time doesn't mean we should lower our expectations and accept journeymen who failed at our rivals. Which rival team did Petravicius fail at before us?

Winning by Name Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Here's radical! Let's go get Stephen Dobbie and we will at least get some goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 35 and a brief look at his career stats suggests that he is only a prolific goal scorer for QoS. Not sure if he is quite what we should be looking for, though he will probably score against us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Loss of Dunne for at least 3 months is a big blow. His electric pace got us out of trouble on many occasions last season. Interesting to see if we can stick with a back three in his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Taylor-Sinclair can supposedly play on the left, so this will be the first test of the depth we have added to the squad this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I, but there's a difference between playing left back and playing the left side of a back 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 You've also got Donnelly available with McHugh shifting over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 The loss of Dunne's pace at the back is going to be the biggest blow to our starting XI. Whilst there can be questions asked of his other attributes, no one in our league can do him for pace or strength for that matter judging by his improved physique.

He did fall over like Bambi on ice when somebody ran at him on Tuesday. Hopefully that was a one-off loss of balance! Certainly he seemed to do well enough at left back for Thistle.

Clackscat Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Seems like the 'depth' of our squad is going to get a severe test at Hibs game with Campbell and Maguire suspended, Bowman a doubt, Hartley still feeling his way back, and Tanner and Dunne out injured.

Whether that's the 1st September or the 30th, just need to wait and see. Unfortunately, and this will apply to Dunne as well, I suspect that similar to Hartley that it's going to Tanner a good while before he's back at anything like 100%...

Lobey_Dosser Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Not one of our youngsters has made the bench in the last 3 cup games. Our transfer policy this summer surely can’t sit well with all at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I rate bigi very highly but if robbo doesn’t fancy him then don’t waste his time and wages on someone we don’t need, especially when we have players like Turnbull, Brown etc. All in the reserves for his position. Same with the strikers if a acceptable bid came in for bowman I’d take it frees up debts, wages that we don’t need plus I’m not so sure he is a player that will carry us this season as much as I do like him. You also have young James Scott who has a bright future and played well in pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 The improving 12-16 is one of the daftest things i've heard considering how poorly we played for long spells last season. Robinson hasn't adressed our lack of creativity in the final third and we don't look any better off on the left hand side. With the young players Robinson will no doubt say they're not ready than admit he's wasted the club's money padding out the squad unneccesarily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted July 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Not one of our youngsters has made the bench in the last 3 cup games. Our transfer policy this summer surely can’t sit well with all at the club. Time will tell.There was an argument that this might be a make or break for Frear what with him going into his last year. It's started well but if that doesn't continue you've potentially Hastie ready to challenge for that place with a year/eighteen months more first team experience behind him than what he might have had by staying put. Perhaps the same applies with MacLean, particularly if Cadden goes. Turnbull likewise if Bigi were to go too.You might be right Lobey but at the moment the theory of a group of 18-20 with some youngsters on the fringes of that group and others gaining experience elsewhere ready to step in, or at least move up the pecking order when others move on is a reasonable balancing act.Whether those on the fringes or out on loan are of higher quality than those further up the pecking order currently though is another argument!

gee Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Thinking the squad has been put together with cover for likes of Carson, Cadden and Bowman and we’re planning that decent bids will come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have young James Scott who has a bright future and played well in pre-season. If we're selling a striker, make it Main... But in general, I agree. We have players in the squad that Robinson clearly doesn't want. When Bigirimana had his squad number shifted, that was all the clue you needed. We had Grimshaw, Rodriguez and Bigirimana on the bench yesterday. And McHugh playing at centre half. How many injuries would it have taken for Bigirimana to get on the park? If Cadden, Campbell and Rose had all gone off injured, I suspect we'd have seen Grimshaw, Rodriguez and Donnelly coming on with McHugh going into midfield. I'm not one who is suggesting Bigirimana is the answer to all our problems. What I would say is that if he's so far out of the picture that he's realistically 7th in line for 3 midfield spots, then it's maybe best for him and for us that he moves on...

Yet again yesterday, I thought he was absolutely honking. He has been absolute murder since the Scottish Cup semi-final and is going backwards at a rate of knots. He only scored yesterday cause the ball hit him in the face without him knowing too much about it. His shots from a good position all ended up high wide and handsome.
