| 484. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 19:52 I think we have done some good business. A good mix of players and importantly with enthusiasm to play the game, with the right attitude. Players on the cusp of first team football, who want to play, and be given the opportunity to play will give a good positive vibe and build morale. We start with a clean slate this season and I think we have the makings of a good squad to be up there competing. The proof will be in the pudding. A big test tomorrow, but cometh the hour cometh the man. G Wardrope Reply |
| 485. Author: Berkey Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 20:03 Good to have the youngsters with some potential sign but the players will have us competing nearer the top have not arrived yet. This is quite a high level to be blooding youngsters, as we have seen time and time again. Here’s hoping these are a better class of raw youngster.

Author: red-star-par Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 20:07 Hunter78, Fri 11 Jul 18:41 Does anyone ever read the posts by Hunter78, and think to themselves, here is someone that is used to being on the gravy train under the old sponsors, doesn`t really even support the Pars, now the free hospitality has dried up, he`s just constantly looking to put the boot into anything the club does? Anyone? Or is it just me? Honestly, reading this forum would be soul destroying (if I actually was the sort of person that gave a hoot what total no marks on the internet have to say). Even signing two young players from Premiership clubs has folk frothing at the mouth that they aren`t good enough Reply |

Any optimism Pars fans may have about signing 3 highly regarded young players, to be brought on by one of the best management teams in Scotland, can be put to one side, while Berkey brings us all back down to Earth with a bump Reply |
| 490. Author: Hunter78 Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 20:18 red-star-par, Fri 11 Jul 20:07 Absolutely nothing to do with the old sponsors or club, I’ve had a ST since 1988 and have again, probably been to more games than you have! To suggest we’ve got a squad yet that’s even remotely as good as others is crazy. Read the comments on the young lad from Utd, nearly all fans say he was never going to play as miles off it. They better get 3/4 experienced players in either on loan or signed or it’ll be another long wretched season Reply |

Another 2 players who haven’t really played any senior men’s football. Let’s built a maybe team for 4 years from now, we used to be able to sign premier league players and players from bigger clubs with experience (Clark, Higgy, Cardle, Gibson etc). This is a mess. Does anyone ever read the posts by Hunter78, and think to themselves, here is someone that is used to being on the gravy train under the old sponsors, doesn`t really even support the Pars, now the free hospitality has dried up, he`s just constantly looking to put the boot into anything the club does?

Even signing two young players from Premiership clubs has folk frothing at the mouth that they aren`t good enough. The very millisecond I see a glaring grammatical or spelling error, I realise that its just a monkey bashing away at a keyboard, and softly chuckle to myself. I`m chuffed to bits with all the talented youngsters coming in. The Scottish Championship isn`t exactly a super high standard league, so if they`re good enough they`ll play. I have confidence that the manager will get us a decent goalkeeper and a bit of experience upfront. I can accept people`s frustration that not every exact piece is in place for the league cup, but our aim was always going to be 2nd after Hearts. We`re hopefully good enough to do that, and, we may have those signings in place after Hearts. It`s just unlucky that we play them first. Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan.

| 492. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 20:36 You`re entitled to your opinion buddy and have obviously seen many a high and low (we started following the club in the same year) but I can`t be getting on board with that level of negativity. We`ve signed bags of potential on permanent deals, good management team, new pitch, invested in data analysis and sports science backroom team, season tickets are up. Even relatively minor things like new catering on the horizon and alcohol trial. We`re on the up. Reply |

Author: alwaysaPar Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 23:11 Hunter78, Fri 11 Jul 20:18 I`ll think you`ll find most said he undoubtedly had talent but needed to change his attitude , not miles off it Frustrations in a young person can lead to annoyance and with a manager like Goodwin , that can be managed badly Hopefully Neil Lennon has the better credentials to work with him Reply |
| 495. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 23:29 Glad we have got more players in the door, the three of which are certainly rated with potential. Would like the train to keep on rolling though and to bring in 3-4 bigger names. Ones that will bring a more experienced and level head to the squad to compliment these guys. Positive moves today though and £100k on one of them is significant! Reply |
| 496. Author: neils Date: Fri 11th Jul 2025. 23:51 Really pleased so far, as the above post says, were definitely on the up-certainly in the right direction. The league cup? I`m happy for us to try out different things, even if it means we don`t do well, being ready for the league is key for me, and no, I`m not expecting us to charge at the top-just a season where we are pushing for a play off spot is great progress. As for previous experienced players we signed-well some of them were an absolute ball ache to have at the club, were done with grown men that haven`t organised their life properly -due diligence is more important, I don`t want guys phoning in sick then posting on Facebook from a foreign city, don`t want guys with terrible recreational habits (who only played well 1/10 games) and no disrupters just because they can`t keep up, and above all no player with constant `niggles` now we have proper analysis there`s no excuses. Record multiple sponsorships, a group of very promising young (fit) players signed, a new pitch, top management team, it seems Cook is doing fine. Reply |
| 497. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 12th Jul 2025. 10:12 We’re long overdue some gems from the amount of youngsters we’re had join up either on loan or permanently over the last few years and done precious little at this level, tbh we’re also due a good season from some of our most experienced players too. Still missing quality from midfield going forward which for me will be the difference between an improved season and a good season but Lenny defo looking to address this ie the attempt at getting Easton. Kearney looks a prospect and has played games so bodes well, the other 2 facing a big step up in level to the championship so may struggle, McLeod needs brought back down to earth attitude wise but Lenny will have done his homework.

| 499. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Sat 12th Jul 2025. 11:17 Berkey, Sat 12 Jul 10:12 Mullen has to go down as a success? The issue with loan deals, especially when you`re dipping into academy or development teams you`re rolling the dice. You`re hoping they can handle the to getting clattered or outplayed by some seasoned pro. Some make that jump, most don’t and that’s the problem reality of relying too heavily on loans at this level. I get the feeling Lennon’s very aware of that. He’s probably seen too many sides build their team around promising loanees who crumble when it gets tough. Just look at us last season. If you can get players in who actually suit your system and have something to prove, you’re in a far better position. If they kick on and you only have them for a season, so be it. If they’re that good and the right bid comes in we benefit either way. So far, the recruitment looks like it’s had a plan. Can’t ask for much more than that at this stage. I`d hold off. Judging them until they have actually paid c'mon the pars Reply |
| 500. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 12th Jul 2025. 11:56 I think with the younger players who spend many years in youth development, particularly at bigger clubs, the main aim I think would be to get regular 1st team football.They pretty much all say that. It`s obviously linked to their ambition to progress and play at the highest level possible. If you can offer that, you will attract that type of individual, and the type we want. Some players are of course just interested in being on the fringes, or see it out in reserve team football. If you are led by a management staff who have direction, clear goals and clear expectations of you and how you will play a part why wouldn`t you want to come to the club. I see NL as very transparent who will tell you how it is. I have heard players over the years saying they haven`t spoken to the manager for weeks etc How is that a way to manage anyone. All the players talk about what NL is asking them to do, or say that they have spoken to the manager before signing. That tells me the communication at the club is good, and the direction and expectations are clear. NL has a reputation as a manager who will develop players. A youth development policy is vital for a club like ours. It will be incremental steps to improvement for sure and it's will take time but build it and they will come as they say. There are always negatives or unintended consequences from that policy but the positives I think far outweigh that. The younger boys just need support and encouragement on the park, from the sidelines, and from the terraces. G Wardrope Post Edited (Sat 12 Jul 12:16) Reply |
