BITS + PIECES

We were disappointed to hear that the KFCSA Player of the Year dance had to be cancelled this year. As a previous chairman I fully understand all the issues that make arranging it so difficult. It has to be booked at the start of the season however with the split in place it means the committee have to look at a date which is far earlier than is ideal. Hopefully the fixtures will be kinder to us next season and with a bit more publicity it will return to being sold out in a matter of days.

It was great to see the club getting Vassell and Wright signed up on two year deals even though we don’t know what league we will be playing in. Vassell has gradually improved his all round game with the glaring issue that he doesn’t score enough. He holds it up and links play well so with a decent scorer next to him, he could be useful next term.

I thought there may be a few teams in for Joe Wright so was surprised but pleased when I heard he had signed a deal. Hopefully this is the start of a far more stable ongoing plan because changing squads every year due to loan signings and short term deals is a contributory factor to our decline iin recent years.

Finally a wee moan relating to Callum Hendry who we chose not to re-sign and who is now banging goals in weekly at Salford. He got a raw deal from McInnes and even when he was selected it was to play out wide. Good luck to the big man down south but I can’t help feeling we shot ourselves in the foot.
