Only made the bench for the midweek cup game and had half an hour. So not far fetched that he’ll be going somewhere on loan, it’s just whether or not it would be far fetched to be going to us.

If we see ourselves as a big club then our expectations have to match that, we are being described as a yo yo club ffs. Anyone who says that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. We may have gone down twice, but on neither occasion did we win the least points after all the games were played, which is usually the prerequisite for automatic relegation. I wonder sometimes if anyone outside our support ever noticed that our fans took our medicine without complaint in 2013-14, and yet were (and are) utterly furious with what was done to us in 2020. Perhaps the two situations were significantly different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, good to see. I think having two weeks till the next game and only Gordon and Smith away on international duty should make a big difference when it comes to the Hibs game. Get some bounce games to get people up to speed and it will all be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the 3rd choice keeper isnt part of the 1 or 2. I think we still need a striker but he has said he isn't bringing players in that aren't better than what we have. For me, it would be difficult to get someone better than Boyce, which makes me think that is not the position we are looking at. Ideally we could get rid of Roberts and Popescu. At best I can see them leaving on loan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the 3 out are you including youngsters going out on loan? Of the first team squad we would clearly let Robert's and Popescu go. There seems to be a feeling we'd let Henderson go out on loan. Given how thin our squad is and that he is out of contract for the season, I actually think it would be better for us (but possibly not him) to keep him in the squad. Walker is the other one that seems to be a question mark, although again I'd probably rather keep him this season. Any other first team players we would consider losing?

David McCaig Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Just now, johnking123 said: Maybe he is just trying to be nice and not tell the press that Stewart is shite. I agree, how bad would you have to be, to be 3rd choice to Stewart... Even Pereira would be offended. As I've said before Stewart's one job is to sit on the bench and hope Gordon doesn't get an in match injury or sent off. In the event of Gordon being out for anything more than a game we would sign another keeper. Sadly last season showed you can't even trust Stewart to play against Brora, but then signing up to understudy Craig Gordon is accepting you will basically never play for the duration of your contract.

Wonder if we'll get some signing news to go along with it? I suspect maybe some outgoings, but any incomings will be 31st. Reasoning being a combination of bank holiday and as you say the ownership transfer. Unless you count Devlin, I have a feeling he’s all signed and registration lodged so likely to maybe even be announced today (officially) if not tomorrow.

He's also only just turned 19, unlike Baningime, so might be seen as having more chance of being a future first-teamer. Also started for them in the League Cup last week.
