round the likes of mcgowan and telfer...remember there's the likes of muirhead and adeyemo,harry souttar and coote to come through...not all doom and gloom imho


although i'd say thanks for your service but bye to Dillon, Rankin, Paton and Erskine...we need more strength,pace and grit in there....not gonna win fuck all with decent pro's...you get away with one or two...not 5

would genuinely like to see two up top...i'm convinved Bilate and Anier would work...although Anier seems to be this seasons last seasons Erskine

 
I'd keep Paton but the others have ? Next them!

Think we have seen the last of not so Super Mario. By all accounts he's homesick and this mystery other hamstring injury is his angle to go back to Amsterdam ASAP.

There is still plenty of talent at the club. players like telfer connolly and spittal have to do a craig conway. Conway.  at  1st  he got absolute pelters from the experts in the GF .  He came back in his 2nd season looking like he had put on a stone in muscle and became an key member of the side. Some fans cant wait to write of a player.

My main worry next season is upfront.

Our only real goal threat (Ciftci) will more than likely be off and his replacements (Simon Murray,Jordan Moore,Ola Adeyemo) are either not ready yet or maybe never will be for this level.

Bilate for me is a write off.Another Sandaza (but at least Fran scored a good few before he started visiting his specialist in Spain once a month).

Henri Anier a strange one.Looked fucking class in that Motherwell highlights video.And was part of their team that finished 2nd.Big strong boy and has decentish pace.But has so far looked like he has the footballing brain of a Shala or Roy O'Donovan.Is he not fit?Confidence wrecked?or is McNamara just not playing him in his best position ?

Either way i feel we really need an out and out goalscorer for next term.Like an Adam Rooney type.

 

I heard he is absolutely wiped out with the training. I also spoke to an Arbroath fan who said he's lost loads of weight and is getting pushed off the ball too easily now. Hopefully Utd get him built up a bit.

Scott Fraser, Telfer, Connolly are the boys we need to build attacking side of the team around next season.

there's a thing...people say the training is pish, that rumours been going about for 18 month...players do fuck all....then we sign a player and all the same people say he's wiped oot, knackered with the training

I've never said the training was pish.

I reckon our problems are nothing to do with fitness levels tbh.

no you mate,have heard fae loads of people in the know, as far back as a couple of weeks after jmac took over that all they do is shooty in etc...shifty has to do extra in his own time....but we have players wiped oot...dinna get it

We tend to play better in the 2nd half imo.Infact the recent games at home v St.Johnstone and Partick where we were utter shite we only started to play at all fae about 75mins onwards.

Fitness isn't the issue i don't think.

Confidence or lack thereof is my main concern at the mo.

Unfortunately that comes from Management.

I don't just want to put the boot into Jackie,tbh i really like the guy and would love him to succeed with us more than most.

What do Jackson and Donnelly bring to the table i wonder?

Houston was a great Number 2 imo.

I heard Murray's training six times a week plus a game. That can't be right?

Yeah that'd be right.

2 sessions a day..3 times a week.

He trains twice a week with Arbroath plus all the times with United. Not sure how many days we train though.

Didn't know he also trained with Arbroath.

No wonder he's wiped oot.
 

Murray is fucking pish, he's no better than Jordan Moore and he's a blue nose cunt. Never going to cut it at this level. He's having a hard time in League 2 never mind the Prem.

Next season using what we have, I’d be happy to keep the following:
 
McCallum
 
McGowan
Morris
Fojut 
Dixon
 
Connolly
Telfer
Fraser
Coote
Dow
 
Muirhead
 
Subs:
 
McGovern
Spark
Souttar
Spittal
Petrie
Smith
Adeyemo

I think it’s safe to assume Rado, Butcher and Ciftci will be away. 
 

That's an awful young squad. There will be a few experienced pros bought.
 

Agree my team is inexperienced but we can't afford to being anyone in, were still in debt incredibly and even more incredible is that we're running at a loss.

Doubt we will get rid of Paton, Rankin, Erskine etc but that's what I'd go with.
