I know how to score goals..... Why not sign me?! Does Lafferty & Cummings come with the ability to control an aimless punt up the park, turn and beat a man and finish the ball... that’s what we are currently expecting our strikers to do. We need to start playing some football, ideally getting the ball into wide areas and getting some proper service into the strikers.

Keena sems to be one of the few plaers in the squad that always looks to get a strike at goal. Zanatta has got to be in contention too, much more effective out wide that Walker or Clare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henroddy Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 With some hopefully decent players arriving in this transfer window do you see any players moving out?

Victorian Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 We'll be trying to agree mutually agreed contract terminations to keep the lid on the wage bill and hopefully free up another wage... but a few players' agents will be after pay-offs because they'll see a club who have been spending before the wages have been freed up. It might take a bit of sorting out. We'll probably see a couple leaving to become free agents at the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem last season, one of a few problems, was a lot of younger or more inexperienced at this level players, like Mulraney, had to carry the team with the more experienced players injured so much. This season, touch wood, we have the experience to balance the youth. Walker, Damour, Whelan, Naismith all bring a lot of experience to the midfield that should take some of the pressure off the younger lads.

Nothing against Henderson but it sucked the remaining life out of the crowd and gave County a boost in one move. We do still lack some impact bench players. I wonder if Uche should take that role. He'd more likely to get the crowd on their feet and worry the opposition when coming of the bench than anyone else we've got in reserve.

Henderson did fine when he came on he got on the ball , moved it about , ran with it a few times , prob had as many touches as anyone second half and was out on the chalk on the left a lot of the time. Fair play giving him a go he’s been doing well for the reserves by all accounts. Morrison hasn’t really done much , Cochrane has done nothing recently , Hickey has been good , Irving struggled in chances last year - he’s looked far better and more composed this.

Aye, all these signings with EPL and English Championship experience have me worried about Levein’s ability to spot a player! We now have a very good squad, assembled almost entirely by Levein. Time to deliver. If Zanatta was all that, better teams than Raith and Alloa would have taken him on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s true, straight from the horses mouth. Brandon isn’t a great player and someone I wouldn’t lose sleep over leaving. It’s a strange situation tho, as he himself (Brandon) preferred not go out on loan in January when it was offered, which lead to arguments with Levein by the way, but now he’s asking to leave and being told no.
