Kmcalpin Posted May 6, 2024 Report Share Posted May 6, 2024 Just now, thewelllfan said: Seen a list of players out of contract this summer across the league and their some very good players for a club like us available on Frees. Obviously Bruce Anderson would be great and we should be in for him but I think Kettlewell would probably make Joel Nouble a 10-15 goal a season Striker. Ross Callachan and Simon Murray of Ross County Anderson is off to Killie. Wages would be an issue for us, if Ross County want to keep players. I've no opinion on Murray but Callachan is a bit of a headless chicken going by his spells at Kirkcaldy, Edinburgh and Perth. I watched him a fair bit whilst he was at Starks Park and he always worked damned hard but didn't actually do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelllfan Posted May 6, 2024 Report Share Posted May 6, 2024 Taking the teams below us is normally how we stay up. This season our 2 best players were Spittal and Bair who we got off county and st Johnstone Just now, steelboy said: That's a horrorshow of a list. Take four players from the teams below and you are only headed in one direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson is a solid player imo works very hard ends up on good positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technique wise I'd agree, but I think Davor coming into the team has really allowed Miller and Spittal to play a bit more because he screens the defence far better than the three of them do together. He doesn't do anything that dazzles but he does a really good job of the stuff that's underappreciated. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you want to full-on SK, playing in a 3-1-3-1-2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderwell Posted May 6, 2024 Report Share Posted May 6, 2024 10 hours ago, wellfan said: It could also be argued that our defensive coaching needs to be addressed. The staff have got something out of our attacking plays via coaching Bair, whereas our defensive plays are pathetic and predictable. For example, we have a dedicated goalkeeping coach and an analyst who seems to have spent a lot of time with Bair on attacking improvements, so why not a defensive coach (maybe we do?), particularly given it's been our Achilles heel? Behind the scenes, technical tweaks can be the difference between a bang-average team like ours finishing top or bottom six. We quite simply cannot afford to concede as many cheap goals as we do on an ongoing basis. That's a decent and frustrating point of this season. It was interesting to watch the analysis of getting the best out of Bair. We will never ever get to see the follow your man at corners clips on the socials!

Stevie73 Posted May 6, 2024 Report Share Posted May 6, 2024 Heard the two boys from Raith have signed, I work with their scout, says both are decent in championship, but thinks they will struggle in the Premier. The joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That turned out no too shabby for them. Dylan Easton is 30 and was playing in the Lowland League not long ago. If he can cut it in the Premiership it'll be a bigger shock than Bair. Given that we already have three midfielders who range from poor to hopeless in Davor, Paton and Halliday it looks like it will be a problem area again. I get the feeling that because Kettlewell never played in the top division he's in denial about levels of quality required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
