auld reekie saint Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Talented player, but I'd imagine he'd be at the top of our wage structure. I'm still too short-sighted to see how both he and McLean fit into an attacking picture, and too conservative to gloss over his minor injuries, which have already kept him out of a few games. Add to that the fact that we have O'Halloran, Kane and potentially Graham to fit in there. I like McFadden, but the romantic in me - and the one seeking best value - would choose McLean over him. And I'd concentrate on getting a good young right back who could challenge Mackay for that spot. Our back four is creaking. Yes but I reckon they could go on "creaking" for a while yet. Certainly hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiginasaintsstrip Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yes but I reckon they could go on "creaking" for a while yet. Certainly hope so. Certainly hope so but MacKay and Wright are at the twilight of their careers and Ando is only just about to hit 30 so the defence is certainly going to need an addition soon.

I think this is the end of Wright, tbh, but then again we have Scobbie to replace him. Andersons still got four or five years left, while Mackay could extend his by a year or two by moving inside, in which case Miller would probably be good enough to come in at right back. I agree we need at least on defender in for next year, but its not desperately required that they're instantly good enough, a Mark Durnan figure would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergiefootball Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Gary Miller will be moved on if TW wants to bring anyone else in,,,,we have plenty of cover in defence with scobbie coming back both him and ando can play right back,cuptie will be here for a while yet,not so sure about wright though as these injections take their toll if overdone,may get one more season out of him.

So you think we can go through a whole season with 5 defenders 2 of whom are reaching the end of their careers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 So you think we can go through a whole season with 5 defenders 2 of whom are reaching the end of their careers. Not to mention that leaves ZERO cover at right back if we let Gary Miller go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranmere Saintee Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Wright has just turned 35 & Mackay will be 35 by the start of next season, neither can be expected to keep producing the goods week in , week out at this level and replacements will be needed soon.

fergiefootball Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Cant see any new signings..both mackay and frazer are playing well,cant see some1 coming in to warm the bench.yes replacements will be needed soon but not just yet and not in this window.

craiginasaintsstrip Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 gary Miller is awful awful may be a bit harsh but i think it's fair to say that he's a very athletic and physically fit lad, just not much of a footballer.

Totally agree. Though I've thought for a couple of years that this should/could be Fraz' last year and he just keeps doing the business. Guess time will tell but it would definitely be wise to start looking longer term. Tranmere Saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Gary Miller has played some excellent games for us. A valuable squad player IMO. We dont really have another reliable RB should MacKay be injured or suspended. To let him go would leave us with no cover for a key position surely? We have Wright, Ando, Scobbie and MacKay (and Miller as a last resort) who can play CH and BEaston, Scobbie and (at a push) MacKay who can play LB. Ando is awful at RB. We need to keep Miller.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Gareth's been at Brechin and Montrose but he's injured just now. Rated highly when at Montrose. Scored a few classic CH goals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
