BigAl Posted September 1 Report Posted September 1 It really never is too early and given it is 2nd September where I am, I'm kicking this one off right now. Take the chance to start moaning about what we are still missing post Summer 2025 window shutting. Wonder who the first concrete rumour will involveĀ Quote

It"s tradition mate and frankly I am knackered and heading to the land of slumber shortly and didn't want you nipping in ahead of meĀ 1 Quote
wee toon red Posted September 3 Report Posted September 3 The winter window has been shite so far, you'd think we'd have signed someone by now. Burrows and Gunn out. 3 Quote
OrlandoDon Posted Saturday at 20:59 Report Posted Saturday at 20:59 So Killieās Watson getting attention at the moment. Already out of our price range? What type of central midfielder is he?? Quote

He is one that I felt we let go too soon. Would it be worth bringing him back? Quote
Jute Posted Sunday at 07:30 Report Posted Sunday at 07:30 Goals again for Marshall (equaliser against Thistle for Arbroath) and Bavidage. Do we look to bring both back in January to bolster the squad.Ā Ā Think at a minimum we should be looking to extend Marshallās contract. Radio praised his performance again yesterday and as I have said before think there is definitely a premier league player in there. Quote

Radio praised his performance again yesterday and as I have said before think there is definitely a premier league player in there. Marshall looks like a really good footballer, but I think he might lack the physical attributes to make it. Hopefully not, but he seemed to lack the pace and athleticism, and there might be a limit to what we could get out of him in that regard. He reminded me a bit of someone like Nicky Low. Really good footballer, but just a touch below where we are. Similarly Bavidge didn't look like he would ever reach the required level physically either. Just lacking that yard of pace that would get him in front of strong defenders in the SPFL. Of course, both have got time on their side, and it was just my first impression. The problem that I see is that they'd both need a lot of work, and we don't seem to be willing to do that as a club. We never seem to manage the transition to first team effectively. Whilst there are plenty of games left until January, does anyone see Lobban getting good minutes rather than the twenty games he'd have got on loan? If we are to get Bavidge or Marshall back, do we think there'd be any plan for their integration? Quote

Anderson never really had the pace to make it for us, and I don't see that as having changed. He's probably just a little too similar to what we already have, and is also at his best in a front two. I think it'd have to be him or Nisbet for me, which is a choice we could probably have made in the summer, so I see no sense on dwelling on that now. I'd look elsewhere for someone that offers us something we don't already have, either pace or battering rammery. Quote

At the moment I would happily trade Yengi for Anderson.Ā I would also say he would offer us something we don't have, a pen box no 9 that can fins that half yard of space when teams are sitting in. I thought we were getting that with Nisbet but his game seems to have adapted a bit since his time at hibs.Ā Ā 1 Quote

I thought Jensen was fine at the weekend, but he's in one of the roles that requires a lot of effort in our system, so Lobban could easily have played the final twenty minutes in place of him.Ā Hopefully the new DOF will open up avenues for young players to make the first team more often, via a publicised strategy to ease pressure on the manager and player(s) 1 Quote

You might get to fifty percent of the roasters though, or the folk that sit next to them, who might tell them to shut it. I think the "three year project" line has helped Thelin until now, and if we can say that we're implementing a strategy to give X number of minutes to young players, then the fans will at least know the justification for playing a youth team player that might not otherwise be afforded game time.Ā 2 Quote
OrlandoDon Posted Tuesday at 22:08 Report Posted Tuesday at 22:08 Is lobban purely a right back or does he play multiple positions? Quote
Jute Posted Wednesday at 05:56 Report Posted Wednesday at 05:56 Played mainly at right back at Cove with a few games in right midfield.Ā Quote
