reading the Scunthorpe forum they seem dissatisfied with Wilcox would be terrible for Taylor to sign for a club and the manager gets the boot.. Shoulda stayed here mate!

its not really paper thin.. we had a man sent off.. but yes we need some extra faces.. and to cut out the fouls

thx for getting that up so fast just in from work... Stunning display!

Oft calm down there mate... trying to bring a bit of lightheartedness to this increasingly sad thread

Im going to get a Tshirt that says LB CB Striker.. hear it so often its starting to plague my dreams too!

Its still a positive sign to have them as cover on the bench

If we are going to be bringing through Youth players next year which i would be very pleased about can someone who knows better than me give us a quick overview of who they think will be making the step up?

People discussing how the board have not lived up to their promises is hardly an embarrassment mate.. Neither is people discussing their concerns about the lack of cover in the team or questioning Archies methods of trialing players for important postions.. Calling posters an embarrassment just because some of us raise doubts about this transfer window.. why not discuss instead of just trolling?

Not a stupid comment at all mate! and quite a few posters on here are saying that this is the exact way that we should be making our signings seeing what we can grab in the last week...

Really feel that relying on the fact we got Higgy pretty much last minute last season.. Isn't a sound way to go about recruiting players and tbh will barely inspire the good players we have to sign on again when their contracts are up.. Maybe Orville the Duck will find himself at a loose end?

Really love how when someone points out we have been a bit slow with our signings this summer.. Immediately labeled pant pishers.. Brilliant counter point Garscube.. Just brilliant!

Trotter your not allowed to question Archies ability in any way other wise you get shouted down!

well didnt he get branded selfish and lazy at some point? (Think maybe by Levein who is a prick anyway) My concern is he might see himself as bigger than our team.. which is very much not a part of the way our team plays

you must be talking 2005-07??.. how is that relevant just now? Mcfadden.. meh if he accepts a reasonable wage we would be silly to say no..Only downside i can see would be his ego and him fitting into the team.. If he is willing to accept he isn't the "star" player and work with the team then hell yes take him!

Would be a terrific signing for us! Hopefully ATS moving onto a bigger league signals that we are willing to work with people to give them chance at bettering their career. Can only be good for us!

Can we lock this stupidity thread please

The reference to pant wetting is a bit insulting tbh.. Surely on a forum we are allowed to discuss our thoughts? Im sure Archie had targets lined up.. What im also pretty sure of now is that he only got Stevenson out of his original pick and now we are sifting through whatever else is available. Being an Archie supporter i have confidence that he will get in the faces that we need.. Though i am a bit irked that having known ATS was off he didn't have a solid plan for our LB spot.. and im sure many people feel the same.

underwhelmed is putting it nicely..

Looks like the strip i made for my team in sensible soccer when i was 7!

Quite true but leaving it so late does make me think Archie hasn't secured the targets he wanted and is now looking at back up prospects

To be fair its a good point about ATS.. we have known for ages that he was going.. we should have had a list of prospective replacements sorted out before the end of the season.. Maybe a sign of our lack of scouting?

God the Amphetameanies.. went to see them open the stage at T in the Park in like 1997 if memory serves

2nd season i will be happy if we avoid the playoff spot.. 3rd season is where we build to go higher

Not one of the doom and gloom club.. but im a bit a touch worried we haven't been a bit more active in the market so far.. I was hanging on for start of July.. going on the training camp though with only 1 new face confirmed when we have serious spots in the team that need to be filled.. Please give me reassurance that all will be well

I'm happy Archie hasn't rushed anything this year tbh. Think he's learned from past mistakes and is taking his time. Shame about Taylor but im positive Archie has alternatives we can look to!
