LegendofCoop 17,288 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 With today's two signings, our squads average age is now: 25.I can't remember a time in our recent history when our average age was so low. Obviously the squad is untested yet, and we don't really know what it is capable of, but I think that stat alone....considering how much first team experience these players have, is really refreshing. Perhaps we will also sign a couple of more players...so this may also come down a fraction again!Bell: 28Foderingham: 24Zliukas: 31Wilson: 23Kiernan: 24McGregor: 29Tavernier: 23Wallace: 27Halliday: 23Law: 27Crawford: 22Murdoch: 20Templeton: 26Aird: 20Shiels: 30Miller: 36Clark: 24McKay: 20Waghorn: 25 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,288 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 of course, now watch Eustace sign and totally fuck it all up!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,288 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Add hardie into that and it comes down again Hardie & Walsh would bring it down mate, but I just took names from the first team squad as shown on the official site.

LegendofCoop 17,288 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 McGregor is 29........I had no fucking idea Thought he was a lot younger.Templeton is the one that shocked me the most. I thought he was older than that. If anyone had asked, I'd have said 29 or 30. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwallowsHisOwnSpunk 7,798 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Zaliukas, Shiels, Law, Bell & McGregor should all be gone in the next few seasons so that brings the age dramatically down.Add in Ryan Sinnamon, Luca Gasparotto, Tom Walsh, Callum Gallagher & Ryan Hardie and the real average age is right down.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 think back to the hibs 3-1 loss at ibrox last season, i posted up both starting 11's and the average age, hibs was around the 25 mark, ours was a month or two off 30some change Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 More importantly, IMO, all the new signings sound like they have old heads. What we lacked most last season was mental fortitude. It looks like we have addressed this. It's a young team, but it's not a raw team. There's lots of experience in there despite the average age.

There's been a big demand for exactly this type of squad....so hopefully they can deliver the goods. There's a lot of experience from the English championship in there too, which is a great league.I'm pretty sure I said on here at some point last season that McGregor will come good for us in a couple of years Still time yet mate!

juve78 7 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Add hardie into that and it comes down again Take Miller out off there and it will come down further Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears&Reds 460 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 You think its young now, wait till next season and the likes of Miller and co are gone, it will be down closer to 22-23 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amato 3,016 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Glad to see the average age come down so much. Surprised nobody is bandying around the phrase "young and hungry" to describe our signings, it's been seriously under used... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchy 1,200 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Get Miller out! Totally forgot about him. Wonder if he'll encourage the young guys, or just moan like a spoilt prima donna when he fucks up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 imagine we took this mindset back in division 3instead flops like cribari, black, kyle and sandaza were getting games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Have you listed Davie Weir in there??? He would get a game ahead of zaliukas or gasporatto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
