If we are hanging our hopes on Graham Carey then we are more f****d than I thought we were. He’ll score the odd goal and have the odd fancy flick but his lack of work ethic, lack of positional sense and lack of perseverance will cost us many more points than his flicks and tricks will win us. A lot of collum inches have been used talking this guy up and we've seen little evidence where it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted July 10, 2023 Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 When you can't sign the players you want, the fall back is to say the players you have are like new signings if you move them slightly on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you try to build the confidence of the players who were chucked under a bus by our previous manager by playing in ridiculous positions which did not suit their skillset. Is Carey fantastic, no but when played in his more natural position during the last few games, he looked immediately better PSJ.84, templeofsaints, Stumpy1949 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey's highly unlikely to be going anywhere so I'm happy to give him a clean slate and see how he does under a new manager in a new system. Of course he was poor last season but so were pretty much all of them. For me, Carey was just one of many potentially good players who quickly started to look distinctly rubbish after a few weeks under Davidson. Our previous manager brought out the worst in a lot of our players but we have to hope Macca can bring out the best in them. We've seen players transform under different coaching methods before, so hopefully that'll happen again. I don't think Macca's doing anything wrong in publicly talking up his players. Of course he has to try to build their confidence this summer. They'll all need that after the last year or two. And Carey could very easily be one of the ones who needs it most. taylorboy69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 From last night it seems that we're very close to getting one new signing done. This week hopefully. MacLean wants players that are young and energetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat McGroin Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 A RUMOUR!! Dimitar Mitov is about to transfer to the elite Scottish St. Johnstone, Gong.bg has learned. The former Cambridge United goalkeeper is expected to undergo a medical and sign a contract with the Saints on Wednesday. The 26-year-old Bulgarian guard left the Abbey Stadium as a free agent and was the subject of huge interest from clubs from the English Championship and League 1, and even received an offer from his native efbet League. However, St Johnstone's offer has prevailed, giving Mitov the position of almost certain number 1 under the frame for the new season in the Premier League. The Scots have been impressed by his consistent performances at the Cambridge goal and believe that in him they see the perfect "wall" in the clashes against the giants Celtic and Rangers, as well as in the fight for participation in European club tournaments. Dimitar Mitov made 165 appearances for his former club, being named as the 2021/22 Player of the Season and named in the Football Association Cup's ideal team in the same campaign after an outstanding performance against Newcastle with 10 saves and a clean sheet. In the past season, Mitov was seriously responsible for the dramatic survival of Cambridge in League 1, secured only in the last round.

Linky Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Would be an excellent signing. Player of the Season at a good level, and still to reach peak age for 'keepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Needing a few players in. No strikers if Stevie gets an injury. McPherson isn't good enough I'm afraid bench warmer at best. Need a centre half, midfielder,two attacking midfielders/wingers , Striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one we have starting is 22 and has only played 2 games in the top flight, whilst the keeper on the bench is only 16. Even if Jack Wills hadn’t broken his leg I’d still say it’s pretty high up the list of priorities. Edited July 12, 2023 by PSJ.84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pezza70 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 If we do sign him that’s a great signing as we can’t have a 16 year old as no 2. Let’s hope he doesn’t have any injuries to fail the medical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
