WIth both S'OD and young Max Jonhstone - who 's a damn fine prospect I don't see the need. Good chance SOD could be away don’t know anything about that but with Max Johnston we’ve very much been trying to put him in the shop window.

Busta Nut Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I always assumed we signed SOD to sell him after the euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I assume that the club thinks S'OD will be off soon and that Max Johnston isn't quite ready yet. That then begs the question, where is Liam Grimshaw in the pecking order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me grimshaw just isn't good enough,that would be a big step backwards if he was to get back in at right back.im sure there will be interest in o'donnell,there will be teams in england that will think they can pick him up for a relatively small fee,as busta said a couple of posts up maybe the plan has always been to sell him on after the euros.i hope any speculation on o'donnell doesn't rumble on though,the last thing we need is anymore disruption especially giving the state of our squad at the minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job his previous bosses didn’t think along the same lines. Not advocating he should be ahead in any pecking order, but, we lost an energy in the team with him being unavailable - that was never replicated, despite the Mark O’Hara fans trying to say otherwise. That energy forced the team up the pitch allowing others to do their thing elsewhere. Kid has bigger problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I’m ok with Grimshaw in the team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Again, while O'Donnell had a decent Euros and is a good full back at SPFL level, I'm not sure his form with us will mean a stampede of clubs looking to sign him. Celtic is a possibility, would Aberdeen , Hibs or Hearts be willing to pay a fee, even if it was set relatively low. I could be proved wrong, of course. Cadden attracted interest from down south and O'Donnell is a better player than him but there is a marked age difference there. Time will tell, I guess..

siebsbarmyarmy Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Anyone else looking at that squad and thinking next season is going to be a long long season. I know we are due a few more players but the quality will need to improve before I get any more confident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re certainly light in both midfield and defence in my view, however the squad we have now won’t be the one we start the season with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Do squad numbers give any indication of expected starting places anymore? Just wondering if missing 1 and 9 have been offered to existing players or left for new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 2 months until the transfer window closes (and then there are free agents after that). Bit early to be panicking, but that's how it goes on here. Be even worse after a couple of games in the League Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both lads to be honest. 100% agree on what Grimmy brings to the team in that respect. Been saying the same myself for a while - all the way back to the cup finals season. When he's on point and driving us forward from right back it's great and opens up a lot. I do like O'Hara when he's on song and played correctly too. The latter being the most important point. Robinson, for me, shifted him about to much as some sort of Donnelly V2 in his own eyes. But I don't see him as someone who drives us forward like Grimmy does at his best - which it kind of, I think, looks like your suggesting other have said.

I’d say with the exception of Tony Watt (32) that the numbers 1-11 (excluding 10) would be GA’s starting 11. Although I’m surprised the big lad Shields wasn’t offered the number 9 jersey.
