So that’s Leigh and (thank fuck) Gallagher returned to their parent clubs. Surprised we didn’t keep Leigh, but guess that can only mean one thing. Hayes.

 

Released frank and seb ross, and obviously Rogers. Number of other youth a development squad released. Club still holding talks with Cerny. Would like to keep him as more than solid back up for lewis

Happy with Leigh, anything that gives Hayes more freedom to roam is good in my eyes.  January is an odd one though

Depth chart following summer moves so far that I shamelessly nicked from elsewhere.

Gary Woods (ex County, Hamilton) in as short term cover for Cerny who is apparenlty injured

Still time for someone to sign Curtis Main?

Good luck to him, he definitely needs game time. Although I'm not sure Ayr is a great move for him. I can't think of a single player that has moved there and come back a success.

I remember seeing some Ayr fans saying they were pleased to see the back of McKenna as they thought he was a bomb scare...

Funny, I was going to post something similar. McKenna had an indifferent time at Ayr and look what happened, hope all works out for Anderson!!

Anderson scores on his debut for Ayr. Virtanen starts for Arbroath.

Well done lad. Hope he does well, but I jut can't see him coming back here and holding down a position unfortunately.

Also, is it just me, or can you not access the goalscorers or any match reports for the league cup on the BBC?

That on your phone? I've had that issue on the app constantly.

I could not get it last night on my phone. Not tried this morning.

I noticed that as well last night Rico.

Never had that issue before

Just checked and still doesn't show on phone 

I was on my laptop. I just didn't think that they had any detail at all on the BBC website. When you go into Scottish football home page, it was just the Scotland game. Going on now, I noticed that you can now get to the Scottish League Cup page from a link under the article about Hamilton getting beaten. I didn't spot it. I find the BBC pages really unintuitive. Especially now that they've replaced the Scottish Premier League page with linked images only instead of having the league table and so on. I'll just have to go to the Scottish Football home page now I suppose, which is fine, but obviously at the moment it's riddled with the Scotland game stuff (which is also fine). My original point about the league cup stands though, there's nowhere on the BBC website showing the scorers and only one article covering the results from last night. You can't click on any game in the link below to see a report or even scorers. That's fairly tragic.

BBC League Cup coverage

Hoban signed for the rest of the season.

Hoban deal extended

Good to hear, but a bit disappointed to be honest. Hoped for at least two years but I suppose if he stays fit he sees himself playing at a higher level.

That was my thoughts on it as well. He is to good a defender for this level.

Should have signed a two year and got us a fee in the summer for looking after him. Obviously, if he was shite, we'd have hooked him.

It should have been at least 2 with a release clause. All that means is Hoban could leave for a fee than free, why wouldn't Hoban do that?? I doubt we have looked for millions.....although that would be preferable. Then again, does Hoban worry that nobody will pay a fee for someone with his injury past?

Happy enough with the deal. He’s a class act, no doubt about it but the club have to be cautious. Given how the club stuck by him during his rehab, I’d hope he’d repay that if it works out for him (and us).

I think we should just enjoy having a fit Tommie playing for us whilst it lasts.

I guess that these short term deals suit both parties at present.

Not beyond the realms of possibility that he might sign a further extension in a few months time though.

Just leaving this here:

Devlin injured again and out for 3 months. Another player injured at our state of the art training facility.
