Scotland u21s?

Our squad is relatively small, and as said above three signings will only see the squad size increase by one from a week ago. Moult and Hammell were probably relatively well paid, so their wages combined maybe lets us get in more than two players. I dont see us getting through January without a bid coming in for someone through. Were also not getting through the season without more injuries.

Do the boys have coachng qualifications? Is familiarity with the club and the respect from everyone who works there not a plus when hiring someone? Are promotions not a thing in other lines of work?

Looking at past stats isnt always helpful when were signing guys from other leagues/levels, especially younger players. Mains record is very similar to Ojamaas before he joined us (there is only one goal between the two over their whole careers to date) but we know how good a player Henrik was for us. On the flip side, you have bowman who scored a fair few before joining us and hasnt been prolific. We also have fisher who looked great against us (as did Kemas and Tarrant in years gone by) but hasnt been good for us. Is fisher the last known player that weve signed? These are the kind of signings we make now, and we just need to hope the Moults and Kipres outweigh the Fletchers and Blyths The manager sees something in this guy, and were going to have to see him in a game or two before passing judgement.

Either Curtis Main has broken the club website, or Trump doesnt want America to know about the dossers latest signing.

Heres a YouTube of him scoring goals (hartleys is better)

Maybe were going to go down the baraclough route and sign a bunch of them. He is statistically a better manager, so we should probably follow his methods.

I guess my autocorrect didnt like the special characters, Ill leave it in, at 63 he might just be streetwise enough for our league.

Deivydas Matulevičius (Ma-Choo-Le-Vee-Chis) Hes 63 so would go with my prediction that wed sign someone big.

Mains agent did a good job of his Wikipedia page According to Mowbray, Main "came here on trial and trained with the youth team and you could see the power and speed he's got. His finishing with both feet is breathtaking at times. Whether the ball drops to his right foot or left foot, he doesn't hesitate. ... Physicality isn't going to be an issue for Curtis throughout his career. He's a boy who spends a lot of time looking after his physique and he's very, very strong."

In January were limited to players who have been let go for nothing, or those we can get for a very small fee. Then we also have to persuade them to come here. Our options in January are a reclamation project type, where the player has dropped the divisions or is out of favour, but has something there that we think we can bring out. Or a lower league or younger player with potential that we can get for a small fee. In the summer we have a far better chance of getting someone more established as more players will be out of contract. Regardless off the above, it is going to be rare that we bring in anyone whos the finished article, or even close, and theres always going to be the risk of a Blyth or a fletcher. Hartley seems to be the closest to a finished article that we have managed to bring in in a while, and for that one I think weve capitalized on a weird situation with blackpool.

Flow tweeted about trying to get something over the line today, so whether that happens or not, it looks like we wont be hanging about.

Always thought we were quick to bin bara.

Lasley is a stick-on to be our next manager, whenever that time comes.

Do we have he kind of money to buy players from these teams? Id like the approach if we did start bringing in players from Scottish teams, but unless they are guys not getting games, or maybe out of contract players signing pre-contracts, Im not sure how were going to pull that off.

Woooo, skippy comeback! Assuming its the promotion playoff places

Not sure why we would bring in a left back. Dunne is clearly first choice, with Hammell behind him, possibly Plummer and then livingstone in the u20s, and tait who can fill in on the left. On the right it seems we have tait and cadden. If we return to the back 3, we could probably do better than frear at left wing back.

We definitely need cover for right back, so Id expect us to bring in a right sided version of dunne - i.e. can play center back or right back. I doubt well bring in another central midfielder unless we unexpectedly lose someone. We have more numbers there than any other position, with mchugh, campbell, rose, grimshaw and bigi for central positions and cadden, frear and tanner for attacking/wide positions. Maybe a right sided winger? Id agree with two forwards being needed, Fisher and bowman are at best bench players for any other team in our division.

For a guy who says he doesnt like to single out players in public, he sure likes to single out players in public

We all like passion and fighting for the jersey, and we all hate dougie imrie, but that was stupid and a deserved red card.

In robbos Interview he bemoaned having to change how we play, and that weve had to use perceived ball players so that really points to bigi, as theres no one in that team who is perceive as a ball player otherwise.

Who can we realistically move out, and how? Fisher and bigi are on two year deals, so for them to go we need to persuade someone to take them and pay the same or more than we are in wages. The fringe players who are on 1 year deals are probably on next to nothing, so would probably be easier to move on, but wouldnt free up much wages if we did.

Maybe we can replace him with coyle. The run is terrible, with a couple of key injuries hardly helping. Weve found out what our fringe players are made of and know we have to bring in at least one forward and a defender. Was Martin foyle responsible for finding Moult and heneghan? Or was that the previous guy? I really dont want us to be that team that fires a manager a season, and I think it will take a few games after the break before the panic button is pushed. If were going to put this bad run on the manager, then he must also get credit for the great run before it. We do need ditch the complacency though and stop pointing to bad luck, ref decisions, and individual errors.

He might come out and give everyone a wave, but no chance of him being risked.

The recruitment done over the summer was praised, and I think overall there are some positives, but if you look at it more closely Id say that Carson and hartley, with maybe Kipre are the good signings, and the rest are pretty average or lived up to their status as backup. So I think that means if we want 3 good players in January, we need to sign 13
