Michael W Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Wedderburn's lack of pace is a total liability - it can ony be mitigated with a central midfield three so the other two can cover him. He might have ability, but we absolutely can't afford to carry that. Edited May 21, 2019 by Michael W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Delighted with that. Buchanan and Wedderburn did their best, they just weren’t good enough. Flanagan was the exact opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Happy with all three going. Buchanan was a good servant to be honest. We got him probably at the wrong end of his career. The other 2 didn’t make nearly enough impact as they probably should have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Nothing personal but thank f**k Flanagan is away for two reasons: 1) I couldn't be arsed watching his half-arsed attempts at regaining possession/marking a player. 2) He'd quickly have become a target for the boo-boys next season and that makes me cringe. Not fussed about Wedderburn but I might have kept a hold of Buchanan to bring on from the bench. I've seen how well he represented the club off the pitch too. Good guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a game and we've seen it all before. You seem very irked by me for some reason for pointing out Raith are a shambles. Strange man. Just commenting on the end to Stenhousemuir’s season mate. Didn’t your mum tell you not to talk to strange men? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Correct decision on all 3. Excellent and unexpected bonus with Flanagan, thought we’d be lumbered with him. He makes Chris Johnston look like Braveheart and is infuriatingly inconsistent. The good performances and moments became less and less as the season wore on. Wish Wedderburn and Buchanan all the best, can’t fault their effort. Wedderburn was good on the ball but painfully slow causing us to be overrun in there. Buchanan was much better since McGlynn came in. We got him a year too late but he definitely done himself justice this season unlike last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Days for Raith Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I’m all for it, in McGlynn we trust. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Correct decisions all round today. Wedderburn and Buchanan leave with best wishes. Surprised to see the axe fall upon all three to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) All for them leaving. Defence was always on the turn partly due to attackers waltzing past wedderburn so I'd much rather have Matthews there every week. Fingers crossed Nat's wages are diverted to signing Ross back up Buchanan has high wages allegedly so it was always on the cards that he'd leave at the end of his contract. A goal almost every 3 games isn't bad over 2 seasons in and out the team so he leaves only with thanks & best wishes from me Flanagan? Good riddance.

grumswall Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Happy enough with all three. Buchanan was apparently on a big wage so makes sense to move him on and I'd imagine it will have been the same with Nat. Going with the hybrid seems the logical thing to do. Hopefully we see a few new faces in the next couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Glad we’ve gone hybrid purely so fans of the yokel teams in our league can’t use their same predictable taunts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Glad its swift and decisions have been made, gives us the best chance to get who mcglynn wants as opposed to picking up what's left after weeks of dithering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) The decisions taken since Saturday have all been encouraging. Delighted with Flanagan going and I think the FT/PT hybrid is absolutely the right approach. I’m sure we’ll lose a couple of players we’d rather keep over the next few weeks but that’s the nature of football these days, especially if you don’t go up. I’ve got faith in McGlynn to build a squad that will make us competitive next season. Edited May 21, 2019 by roverthemoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
