Ruchillnomore Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 When reality smacks you in the face you sort of wake up and assess where you are and right now if you are totally honest these signings regardless of time you want to give them are not inspiring belief in promotion or worse still keeping you away from the bottom of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garscube Road End Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Ayr fans on P&B saying we had a bid for Shankland rejected. Some saying it matched the bid made by Fylde, which was 150k. I'd be astonished if we offered that kind of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watties wallies Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 so that's it the last big moment this is the pool of players that will have us fighting for promotion to the premier league mid table at best this year if we are lucky and no i'm not being pessimistic just being realistic however onwards and upwards we are thistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense why offer them the same as a bid they have already turned down- I would have thought would have been better to offer an extra £30 grand on top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robphil Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I actually feel embarrassed for the manager. How can he justify his recruitment policy, if 'policy' is the right word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 A fit Quitongo could be a great player for us, but again another player with fitness doubts. My concern is the team is pretty unbalanced both in experience, recent play time and positional 3 goalkeepers which is good 1 RB - only Elliot, No cover 2 LB both very young 3 CB (Now Tam OWare is out) 1 is a kid and on loan, we will get suspensions in this area DM - Bannigan & Brice aren’t fit and between them have barely played a handful of games in last 2 seasons MF- Loads in here especially attacking options CF - Doolan, we have no cover here We have several players who have barely played in last year, or were too young to have broken through at there teams. With the history of injuries and lack of any 1st team game time from majority of squad, Archie’s taking a huge gamble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loan deal as opposed to a signing will free some dosh for bringinging in a defender. Called that one brilliantly, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Jumping to the side for a moment. We've a super duper training complex on the horizon and a now well established youth academy so with that in mind I hope we won't ever again be hearing statements like Partick Thistle have reached an agreement with Greenock Morton regarding compensation .

Would also be pointless offering a sum that’s already been rejected. If that sort of money was available I think we would have had another defender before now.

MonehJags Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I didnt know it was Archies remit to sign players for the wheelchair team. Is Jai fit an ready to go? Even Archie must be looking at this pool of players and be wondering what the **** have I done here. Its as if he has been diverted down a one way road and desperately just adding players in the hope that somehow something is going to happen. With the players we have you would think we would try and keep the ball away from our third, forget trying to defend and just out score the other team. We do the opposite and have two sitting players and create hee haw. I dont know what to is going to happen tomorrow but I expect to see a few goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Jag Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yes, Archie, what we really need for our defence is a loan signing from same division rivals in the position we are best covered for at the back. The mind ******* boggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
