Agreed here, I think stanway has a lot of potential but personally think his performances in the league cup games were slightly overrated by a lot of fans. I thought personally against Falkirk and united he looked a little bit out of his depths at times in all honesty. Lyon on the other hand I think has serious talent. He finds brilliant pockets is space and is a very positive and creative footballer from what I’ve seen so far. Can chip in with a goal and assist by the looks of it. I would like to see him given a good chance this season to become hopefully our next best asset since fitzy first time around. A loan for stanway for another year might be best should squad size allow. Everyone is mentioning Mackenzie as cover at full back and wide which I think is unfortunate for him slightly, I think his best position is in midfield and I think given the choice himself he would likely ideally feature in a more out and out midfield role, oppose to a winger or full back. Such is the circumstances of this season upcoming though that looks to be his role and I just hope it won’t stop his progression somewhat. He’s is a capable full back regardless due to his attitude. Finally, would also agree re Alston signing in some above posts. This 100% says to me Robinson is going to be out for a while and this is a cover signing knowing he’s going to be crocked for the opening weeks/months of the season.

Albert's Ghost Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Kerr McInroy coming on loan, according to P&B (Scott Burns in the Record apparently). Impressed me when playing for Ayr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 McInroy seems a decent player. With Bannigan, Alston, Williamson, Robison and McInroy competing for 2 maximum 3 starting slots it poses an a question over who should start. Part of me wonders if we are going to change formation and play a proper 4-3-3 with a switch at some points to 4-4-2 rather than last seasons 4-2-3-1 that became a 4-2-4. With those 4 available I can't see Stanway or Lyon getting much playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 I see one of the PTFC Trust members of the Club Board has resigned. This continues the transition back to a more normal Board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 Ideally, the new players and the established ones will gel quickly. It would be great if it happens fast (on Saturday, for example!), but if not, then we need to give them some slack until it all starts to come together. Let's remember that last season, things weren't all rosy throughout the season, until we managed to scrape into the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted August 2, 2023 Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 We seem to have an awful lot of midfielders and a shortage of defenders. I hope we are going to get that rebalanced soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Hopefully Kerr can give us enough dig in midfield. He's not noted as an out and out ball winner but he's a classy left sided player who nonetheless won't shy away from a tackle. Reckon he'll be a regular starter and I can't see any further centre mids joining us now. Just a tad concerned we'll be a bit too lightweight thru midfield. The upside being we should be good on the ball and creative enough. Feel the defensive quality of whoever we play as centrebacks will be crucial.

jagfox Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 Good bit of business that. Has certainly played RB too. Another one or two in and we are good to go, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Looks a good young player. Quick on the ball and brings height to the squad. Ideally it would've been better if Lewis had been left sided but they're thin on the ground at centreback. Feel we now have to address left back cover as a priority. Funds permitting of course.

Lenziejag Posted August 3, 2023 Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 The squad is coming together now. Could probably still do with another defender to cover lwb, a hard tackling midfielder and a Tiffoney replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think the midfield muscle spot will be addressed as we've already seven (including Robinson?) central midfielders. Not ideal admittedly.
