Energetic/physical,something we do lack,....but then you realise he's struggled at Wycombe Anthony Stewart was a stand out for Wycombe. It's a very high standard, and we should be looking to pick up their scraps. They're up there with Morecambe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was a toss up between this bloke and recalling Richardson, but richardson’s car broke down. Inspiring loanee!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Mattie Pollock being considered according to Scott Burns. What might make it tricky is he actually started for Watford on Sunday and won rave reviews for his performance, so maybe the manager down there will have a change of heart.

Has been injured all season, and is now being loaned out by a League One team essentially to get him fit. I don't think that's the type of player we're looking for at the moment unless they really add something to the team. Already heard enough about Gueye's fitness issues.

Robson/our recruitment team must be watching the wrong team. We don't need defenders. The Celtic games aside, we have conceded 23 goals in 18 games but in those same 18 games we have scored just 22. We need people to create and score goals. The defence and goalie ain't really that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence and goalie ain't really that bad. It's just with the injuries to Gartenmann and Rubi. Personally I'd be comfortable with MacDonald and Milne as cover. However, someone like Kerr would make sense on loan until the summer to give us time to weigh up our options. He's a known quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Robson going, it might be worth holding onto him. It's a big might, he's been poor for longer than he's been good and I'm not sure he's a luxury we can afford, and not sure he's the type of guy we need in the battle we face until the end of the season. Anyway, the timing is an absolute disaster for sacking the manager. Last day of the fucking window when we desperately need at least one player and when at least one might be leaving. Either keep him another day and pretend he's got the job until summer and sign a player (the recruitment team do the majority of the work there anyway, and any new manager will need players), or ditch him before the window opens. This is another window where we've allowed ourselves to get behind again. You can't afford to miss any. The new manager is now already on a handicap. It's fucking disastrous. How the fuck Cormack can't learn these basic things after so many attempts is unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Given the day I assume we bit the bullet and didn’t bring anyone else in?? disgraceful if that’s the case and no more wide players. Or is it save the pennies for the new gaffer in summer? seems like we’ve spent money on some real shit in the last couple of windows, Richardson, morris, gueye, hope the new guy has some eye for talent.

RicoS321 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 A disgraceful window like, and shows that nobody at the club has learned anything. The whole point in our supposed recruitment setup is that much/most of the responsibility is taken away from the manager. The idea being that we have a large degree (as much as you can have in the transfer market) of certainty over signings, regardless of who the manager is. The window is about keeping things ticking over, getting rid of a few players and experimenting with new ones. January doesn't have to be a big one, but two players in would have been the minimum I'd have expected regardless of the manager. By not getting a winger, we've completely limited the options of the new manager, and by not keeping things ticking over, it's basically like being one or two short already in the summer. As we've seen since McInnes left, that makes the new manager a window behind at the outset, but we won't give him a window leeway to get it right (I'm not necessarily saying that the others should have got another window, just that they were very hard done by). The last three summers have seen a 10+ turnover over players because of this. We have a slightly more settled team this season, but we're probably still going to be looking at 8+ signings, which means at least 12 in to get 8 worthwhile players. That includes the likely loss of Miovski and Duk (or Duk just continuing to be like having a player missing). Players who won't, or shouldn't, be here next season: Roos Gartenmann (he might sign) MacDonald McGarry Morris Barron Besuijen Richardson Gueye Miovski Duk Phillips That's anything from 8-12 above that will be leaving. Anything between 3-5 of those who'd start. That's a massive turnover, and if you're looking at that as a person coming in, you'd probably pass. Of course, the board will tell us that they'll back the manager, but that's utterly meaningless unless it occurs over at least two windows, as the margin for error in the transfer window is huge and largely has nothing to do with the manager. Unless that manager has strong experience of Scottish football, and bringing players into our game, it's unlikely that they'll get higher than 50% success rate. That's why I thought we had the model that transcended the manager and our recruitment team could ably tide things over where the manager was on a shoogly peg. Just one first team recruit (a fucking winger for fuck sake!) could have saved the manager a world of hassle in the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it appears I misread the BBC article yesterday! I did wonder why we were still being linked with Kerr. Personally, I think a January window should remain in January.

Jute Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Looks like club are still looking to bring in a centre half due to injuries to Gartenmann and Rubi. Would like to think we are bringing in a winger but not sure we will. As Rico says recruitment team should mean having no manager in place should not prevent the club getting players in today.
