thedandydon Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great signing for us. If it keeps Considine away from that area of the park it can only be a good thing. Thats three decent signings, addressing the positions weve all been screaming out for Brown to sort out. Time will tell if theyll make a difference, however on the the face of it our first choice 11 looks as good as anybody's outwith the Tims. Link to comment
afc_blockhead Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Brilliant Signing! A possible starting 11 now of : BrownJack Anderson Considine NaysmithPawlett Rae Milsom Hayes Vernon Mcginn Not bad at all Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Brilliant Signing! A possible starting 11 now of : BrownJack Anderson Considine NaysmithPawlett Rae Milsom Hayes Vernon Mcginn Not bad at all Aye its nice having something resembling a squad as personally I'd play Osbourne instead of Pawlett this Saturday but could easy adopt that team or an even more attacking with Fallon in too the following week.

Tord31 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Would just like another centre back potentially now but thats something we can potentially hold off for a few weeks to see how we go. Think an extra centre back and an extra striker might be nice to haves but may depend on loaning out 1 or 2 of the first team pool. Link to comment

The Highland Don Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Great signing and hopefully a fantastic mentor for young Clark Robertson. Few more signings and we've got ourselves one of the best squads in the league. Link to comment
Chrisyboy81 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm very happy with our signings thus far. In an ideal world we could get Reynolds, a striker and perhaps another winger. Obviously that can't happen so it'll come down to injuries as our first 11 isn't too bad. If we get Reynolds I'll be over the moon. Link to comment
K-9 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Would imagine Osbourne and Maggenis would provide further central defensive cover. Ace.Reckon we will see fair bit of Gavin Rae at centre half if any injuries. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Just watched Naysmith's press conference. He certainly talks a good game. I'm very pleased with this signing. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Reckon we will see fair bit of Gavin Rae at centre half if any injuries. May well get shifted there during matches but be surprised if he starts any game there. Still fully expect us to sign another defender. If Brown has spent all his money he'll look to move someone out over the next four weeks Link to comment
Ke1t Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Really Scottish fitba doesn't even need midfielders. If you can get 4 defenders who can punt a ball the length of the pitch then you can play with 6 forwards. 1 Link to comment
essex don Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Pa Broon has done a decent job this summer, am looking forward to a top 4 finish at least Link to comment
caledonia Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Gary Naysmith is a Good signingJust would like to see a striker now (hope Mackie hanging about does not become permanent) Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Gary Naysmith is the natural successor to the Mo Chalali song Link to comment

I'm sure he meant Gary Gary, Gary Gary Gary Gary, Gary Gary Gary Gary, Gary Gary Gary Gary Chalali its rhymes, ken. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Good signing and good to see we have been creative about the nature contract - something we have so often lacked. I'd feel much happier with another CB in but I think given the financial situation we have to be careful we don't overspend here. If we could somehow get Clark and Fallon out then bring in a CB and another attacker or winger I'd be absolutely over the moon but I can't see it happening. Link to comment
muttonhumper Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Good player, hopefully all turns out well as his injury problems are a concern. I don't suppose we'd be in a position to sign him if he didn't have those problems tho'... Link to comment
MichtyMeMin Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 In all honesty, with competition for CH slot in the likes of Gary Caldwell, it doesn't seem that impossible to me. In fact if Kenneth just becomes just a little bit more shit he will be in with a chance of ousting CaldwellWhy do we always have donkeys playing CH for Scotland? Lets get someone in there that's comfortable with the ball at their feet and doesn't start to shit themselves every time it comes near them!!!! Link to comment
Stoney Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Excellent signing for us, Teams will no longer have a free reign over our left side. Desperate for cover at centre back, still not sure why Mccardle wasnt kept. Right midfield is still going - between jack / osbourne / magennis / pawlett and clark theres not much quality there! (Jack obviously not suited to position but will play there at some point) Link to comment

barassie_afc Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 correct our team 1-11 looks bloody good right now and i also think this will be a big season for Magennis he has incredible physical attributes and lets be honest, you dont need much else in the SPL right now! unfortunately he has the footballing ability of douglas bader Link to comment

Jury very much out on Pawlett and Fraser for me, both should be doing much better than they are! If Mcginn was signed as a right winger - fair enough, but that would still leave us one short up front unless falon is going to make a remarkable improvement on last season Would prefer just keeping hayes on the left, offers us a lot down that side - also stops opposing right backs (our main problem last season) Have a free run down the left. Said last week that its an indictment on brown that we have lost 10 players but have still improved the team Link to comment
Stoney Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 what the hell more can fraser have done you absolute clown?! If he isnt good enough to get in this team then i would hazard a guess at a lot fucking more than he has been You absolute clown, Link to comment

Stoney Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Pawlett needs to get going this season. and I agree he needs to be doing better but think you are harsh on Fraser Pawlett needs to stay fit, he seems to have lost a yard of pace too! Fraser is struggling badly even at reserve level he isnt a stand out! Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 are you "bleezin'"? what are you basing that on, bearing in mind it is in STARK contract to how he's actually doing? Don't think I've ever seen Fraser play. Don't watch reserve games either. What's his best attributes? Link to comment
swifty Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Pawlett needs to stay fit, he seems to have lost a yard of pace too! Fraser is struggling badly even at reserve level he isnt a stand out! I'll hazard a guess that you don't take in many u19 games (there's no reserve league these days FYI) then. Fraser regularly impresses, weighing in with plenty of assists. To say he is struggling badly is utter garbage. If he's given some game time in the first team this season I think he can do well, I'd say he has more potential than Pawlett but only time will tell.

Said last week that its an indictment on brown that we have lost 10 players but have still improved the team Surely he's gotta play on the left, I hate it when left/righted foot players on their wrong side. There job should be to get to the by line and whip in a cross and very few can swing in decent crosses with their weak foot they all end up cutting back onto their strong foot which disna work in my opinion. We have vernon up front a striker who can thrive on crosses so if we can get good balls in from both sides I believe vernon will have a good scoring season Link to comment
