It's lacking so much quality and depth it's scary. Considine - Don't like speaking bad of the lad but getting on a bit now and may not have the same quality. Gallagher - Good signing, solid. Gurr - Who the fuck even is he, played 36 competitive games and h's 25..... Devlin - Pointless even discussing his quality's he'll be injured by September. Cannot understand why he has a new deal, shocking. Ramsay - Seems a great prospect, 17 years old we can't be relying on him Mackenzie- Another young lad, 21, but should be starting to cement his place in the team Shambles man. Midfield and attacking positions pretty well covered, few dinosaurs in Mcginn and Hayes but still got the quality. Tough season ahead unless we sort out that defence. The only thing I’d take you up on… Devlin won’t be “injured by September”. For the simple reason the cunt won’t be fit by then. 2 1 Link to comment

Considine - As a left sided centre half, he’ll be decent enough. He showed not long ago for Scotland he had the quality to do a decent job. Probably not able to be the LWB role he was played in at times, but not likely to be there in Glass’s formation. Think he’ll be fine till the winter window at least. McCrorie whom you’ve not mentioned I would not be surprised if he grew into a role alongside Gallagher. Ramsay - were not relying on him, he is the 2nd / 3rd choice cover for RB and will get occasional opportunities. McKenzie - should be starting as our left back of choice. Adequate cover with Hayes able to slot in there if needed. The risk in defence is CH cover. We go into the match tomorrow without any recognised cover with Gallagher suspended. Sure he’ll be back for next week, but a signal that we will be stretched if we do pick up injuries / suspensions as we inevitably will do so. We can’t rely on Devlin. It’s why I think we will move nearer the end of the window (unless there is a youngster that could step in and cover) Link to comment

As I said, I think McInnes would have been given 18 months to 2 years. At that point, sevco were still operating on a relative shoestring compared to Celtic so I really cannot believe that DM would have won them a trophy. That they started to make inroads on Celtic and eventually overtake them under Gerrard I still think was more down to Celtic appointing Lennon on the cheap, who truly is a buffoon., rather than any great genius on Gerrard's part Link to comment

ullevi Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Don’t mind Hunter but he does go on a bit and tends to just go off on tangents. Overall it was a good podcast though and enjoyed it, the 3 lads seem to speak a fair bit of sense, they will need to cut it down a bit of doing it every week as 3 hours was a long listen. 1 Link to comment
afc1903mad Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I see Tyler Mykyta and Kevin Hanratty have been shipped out to Formatine on loan. Maybe not ready yet to push on into the first team, but will be a good experience for them and also free up a space in the squad to take in another player Link to comment

The door was left ajar (personally I feel deliberately) and they cantered through it. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I was saying a couple of times on here this summer it would be great if Glass could bring even one of Ojo, McGeouch, McLennan and Kennedy back to life. Those four being the four I deemed to be the deadwood in the squad (i'll not mention Devlin as he's not registered yet). I'm not counting any chickens but it doesn't look like we'll be paying Ojo up his contract (or subsidising a loan for McLennan) in the next couple of weeks anyway. Link to comment
ClayholeRed Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Last night was brilliant and I feel a lot more confident now of a good season ahead even if one swallow doesn't make a summer. It wasn't like we were playing a minnow from a really poor league. Still think we need a couple of players in yet if we are hoping to play to that standard on a regular basis. Honestly been buzzing all day about how good we played. Wasn't fully convinced Glass can deliver the football he has been talking about - perhaps he can. Its a start anyway! Link to comment
Tord31 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 A big difference last night compared to the tail end of last season was cutting out the tippy tappy football in our own half. Is that going to be a permanent change or just tactics relating to this game? Link to comment

Sydney_Red Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Way too much chat pre season about the age of our squad. That scared me as well, but many would suggest that certain footballers are in the prime of their career at 30 plus. I think we’ve got a better blend of experience and fitness then I thought we did 3 weeks ago. Link to comment
True_Don Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Still need another striker on the books and a centre half (unless Devlin proves his fitness but taking a risk there). Link to comment

Granted it was a last minute winner into the Beach End gleefully lapped up by a delirious wee muttonhumper. ? Link to comment

You not remember Joe Lewis fannying around with the ball 2 yards out trying to pass to people within the six yard box. That happened. Hopefully its consigned to the bin Link to comment
