Limits his club's options to selling him to us or losing him for free in a few months. If it's the latter then maybe an EPL loan to tide us over. My gut feeling is we'll have moved onto someone else by this time next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think today demonstrated why we need another forward in. The last half hour would have been the perfect moment to bring off Boyce and send on the lad from Korea or someone else to keep up the pressure on the hibs defence. The depth of the squad still needs work. Shankland and Boyce were good today but both were struggling as the second half wore on and there wasn't another good option on the bench to keep stetching hibs and providing a target for our defence and midfield to aim for.

Yes, we do need another strong forward. I do understand the dilemma that Savage/Neilson are under - wait and possibly get a better player but not have the forward for early games. Also take chance of missing out on players while waiting for the better player. It is a bit of a gamble but we can't continue to wait. If we don't sign another forward this week, Savage and Neilson will have failed in my opinion, to equip us for Europe and early league games.

Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Ok. Tin hat on. Not a disaster today but disappointing but seeing us in two competitive games now makes some things clearer than they were in pre-season. My first point is - I am happy with our signings. All of them look as if they will contribute positively to the team. That being said I have a couple of main concerns. First - is anyone that we have signed this season a higher quality than we could have signed last season? This season was supposed to be a crank up in the quality of targets we could go for - is that evident from the signings we have made so far. I would say it isn’t. Second. Apparently the really quality becomes available at the end of the window. Is it really? Dropping the bullshit bravado we have as fans wouldnt we have been pretty chuffed with the the North Macedonian lad at Aberdeen. I would have. What about Levitt? Even that ***** Boyle. Truth is you can get quality and top signings early or before the league starts but two years in a row now we haven’t - ok Beni came in one day before our league start I’ll give people that. There are two or three rabbits we need out of hats before the end of the window. And let’s be honest we need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 We definitely still need players in, because a long season lies ahead. But today we had the players to see that game through and didn’t choose the right ones to come on or off at the right times. So, even if we do sign more players, that may not necessarily change. But we need to remember that was only our 2nd competitive game of the season, the players were knackered because of that and Hibs understandably were fitter having played more games. So, we’ll have plenty of times this season with so many games where we’ll have players starting to tire, and we need to be able to trust what’s on the bench. Not do things like leave Boyce on because Grant wasn’t playing great, when he was clearly done, or when you do have to take Boyce off you don’t need to bring on an ageing utility man to shore things up when you should be looking to regain possession and counter. Personally, I think Neilson had other choices today and chose wrongly, but his choices were limited. He needs more options, therefore we need more signings. Still, should’ve been a win today regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I don’t think it is - my point is we could have got decent quality that was a proper upgrade on last season in by now as other teams have. Valid discussion point, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year, people seem to overestimate how much business usually gets done by game one or two of the season. Celtic were a shambles this time last year (we aren't) but they signed Jota and Carter-Vickers on the last day of the window and they made all the difference.

Fair assessment there. 👍 Despite only having played 2 competitive matches, we're in a decent position. Hopefully Robbie & his coaches are re-assessing what attributes the team still needs to improve on, and can focus the recruitment on getting those now. Still plenty to be positive about.
