  1. Aye but we only played 22 league games that season.
  2. Penrice played just about every game in his last season with us.
  3. Sorry, I'm looking at this purely from a sales point of view. Regardless of your points if we can't push the fact those players were involved within our youth system then I'd have to put that down to very poor salesmanship
  4. Was the deal not conditional to Tiffoney signing for us? Could be we couldn't write sell ons into contract. One thing it's another feather in our bow re our youth set up. Good selling point for future recruits when you can mention the likes of Nisbet, Hendry & Penrice coming thru our system
  5. Giving players their "directory names" is fun. Little Ricky sounds like a cartoon character but using a bit of licence we could've had an Augustus Caesar. There's only One Armond but spare a thought for Willie Devine.
  6. 70k euros for us I hear. Gotta feeling these sort of payments can either trickle down and/or take ages. So unless our cash flow has improved remarkably probably no immediate help re signings.
  7. As long as Wilson doesn't refer to them as a pool of players. Be a bit insensitive, methinks.
  8. You make a good point but...... Six foot nothing, Eyes of blue Quite Big Lee Ashcroft is after you. .... just doesn't scan 🙂
  9. Even after putting aside the current state of the squad, it seems inconceivable that at any time in the first half of the season McBeth will start most games on the bench. Just as inconceivable playing a back four that the captain or the left sided O'Reilly would be dropped to accommodate Luke. Maybe we look too much into formation? If McBeth starts in defensive midfield and drops into the back line when defending it's not too much different from him starting in a back three and moving forward when we're attacking (as indeed he's done). Bit like wingbacks who'll make it a back five when called upon. It's still not ideal as I think McBeth is best when he picks the ball up from the back line and drives forward rather than collecting it further up the park, but needs be. Putting a positive spin on things a centreback pairing of Ashcroft & O'Reilly should be the least of our worries.
  10. Cammy Logan's 90 mins has looked good to me. Takes up interesting positions, most noticeably in attack where he often becomes a sort of inside right. Certainly never predictable as he can overlap down the right flank as well. Game took a turn for the best when McBeth moved into defensive midfield. We know he's not the answer there but it just highlights an obvious area where we're weak and vulnerable.

  12. https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/robert-reid/ So sad news. Lovely man, excellent company. Can't express in words strong enough my sadness at his passing.
  13. Maybe not that robust but Glenafton were more engaged than most senior club opposition we've often played in previous friendlies. The three trialists all played right back. Got a feeling the one who came on at half time might be familiar with a centreback role. The lad in the first half looked promising going forward.
  14. I think the three players* we have are more suited to wingback than fullback. The three centrebacks play well together. Obviously playing such a system doesn't favour wide attackers but there's ways round that. *our three listed fullbacks
  15. My guess as well. Scott Martin would probably have got the gig but Lee is an obvious choice as he's unlikely to be dropped.
