AyrshireSheep Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Has anyone watched the Glass pre match press conference? He was asked about the squad and potential additions and he said "we're there". That has to be a major fucking worry surely? Link to comment

Get an injury to JET or Ramirez even for say 3-4 weeks and we are left with 1 fit, experienced striker and Michael Ruth? If we have aspirations of cup runs and going further in Europe the squad as it is won't cut it. Need a winger, CH and striker. Minimum. Link to comment

I think Jet and Hedges will play behind Ramirez and the full backs will be asked to provide the width. I'd be shocked if a centre back doesn't come in at some point though. Maybe another attacker. 1 Link to comment

It happened to us last year as well, you would think they would learn as well.watkins,hornby, lucky we had hendry and kamberi as back up and they were shite, also agree need 3 minimum in them positions you said to be able to kick on, looking at Celtic the now and it’s frustrating that we could overtake them as they are just pish and there confidence is gone already, 2016/17 team would get us into second easily in my opinion.shame old cormack didn’t through the kitchen sink at it. where abouts from Ayrshire are yae from?

Zeus Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Be arite. McGinn and McLennan can play up front if there are injuries. 1 Link to comment

Aye, it’s not been said what the formation has been in the two pre-season games. Presumably a back 4, but not obvious what’s been ahead of it. It looked like the 4 at the top end was JET Ferguson Hedges Ramirez But no-one knows really. I struggle to see how JET would be suitable for a place out wide as he’s not the most mobile & I doubt he’d track back much. Maybe he could play behind Ramirez & we play Hedges & A N OTHER out wide. 1 Link to comment

I thought it looked like it could be a 4321. Brown sitting between the centre backs when the full backs push forward like he did for Celtic latterly with Ojo and Ferguson the other two in midfield. We'll find out soon enough!! Link to comment

I'm surprised we haven't gone back in for Watkins. Or maybe we have and he's told us to poke it. There's a real lack of depth at both ends of the pitch. And a fucking abundance of players in the middle. From Beith but moved away to West Dunbartonshire a while ago. Link to comment

I didn't believe him when he said it because I don't think he believes it himself. We've got until the end of August and more players will come in and some will leave. This is the peril of playing in the preliminary rounds of european competition. You've also got to remember that it's not as straightforward as you want it to be in getting players in. Players have to want to come here in the first place. We're a bit short just now, but have time. I'll be pissed off if we're still running with this squad come the end of August. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 There is no way he's going to go with two strikers and its probably hard to imagine he's gonna go with 3-4 centre backs so there will definitely be signings there. It's the creative/winger player that we are all hoping for that might never materialise. Also if the final signings are likely to be completely shite then all the more reason to warm the fans up to have low expectations. Link to comment

There’s another 5 weeks of the transfer window to go, players will leave, injuries will occur and undoubtedly, more new players will come in. Ducked the Declan Gallagher question (is he suspended or not; if it’s the latter, why’s he nae playing in the practice games?) and shimmied past the Devlin question. Link to comment

He replied “Aye, he’s still here.” You’d have thought he’d have said “He’s still working with the physios and will join the 1st team group in 2 weeks.” Or whatever. Something weird going on there but then again, it’s been the case with Devlin for 3 years now. Was getting selected for international squads but left out of AFC squads under McInnes. You’d hope there isn’t something else more serious going on and the club are trying to do the right thing for the player, support him etc. But to not announce a player has signed a new contract is very very unusual Link to comment

Maybe he's on £400/week or something and the club and player are not considering this a 'signing' and its been lost in translation to Scott Burns? Link to comment

Redmist1903 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Something defo not right with the whole Devlin thing. We are maybe not paying him anything at all, just offering him the facilities and medical attention to see if he can get himself fit or if he has to give up the game due to a bad injury or something? Doesn't look like we have any expectation on him to get fit or be fit any time soon, just looks like we are being decent to the guy. Whatever, we need another decent CB in now, can't believe we've not signed one already, especially given we were pretty far down the road with Robertson months ago. Link to comment
