grumswall Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Strange Shankland was the same for Ayr & United v Queens too... Did you just double up on him aswell?Nisbet was our only threat that season (a good one at that) if you stopped him playing we really didn't offer much going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 In the first leg of the play off Nisbet missed a couple of great chances in the first half. The sort he'd been putting away with his eyes closed that season. The second leg he was completely shut out of the game though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 It shows how fucking awful much of that team was that we were nowhere near going up even with Nisbet in the team. Any credit Barry Smith gets for signing him is completey removed by the absolute nightmare he made if trying to assemble a squad that season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn’t for injuries when McGlynn took over what a squad that could’ve been Vaughan, nisbet, Armstrong and hendry going forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Aye I think duggan would have been a good signing if he had stayed fit. Showed in flashes he was a decent enough player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of players who either weren't of a good enough standard (Wedderburn, McGuffie, and rather disappointly, Crane), with poor attitudes (Flanagan, Barjonas) and inconsistent (Gillespie). It was unfortunate to lose Vaughan, Hendry and Armstrong throughout the season, but we'd still have probably missed out due to how awful that defence was. Arbroath had an utterly disgusting run of form during the first half of that season and we got no breaks. In the second half of the season we fell apart with some utterly comically bad results (in particular, Brechin away where Vaughan did his ACL again).

Broken Algorithms Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Vaughan did his ACL up in Forfar when we won at the death 2-1That was the 3rd time. I'm talking about the second time. Nisbet replaced him and scored that day (it was a week or two after Vaughan fired in his hattrick). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly, Mr Shankly Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 That was the 3rd time. I'm talking about the second time. Nisbet replaced him and scored that day (it was a week or two after Vaughan fired in his hattrick). Exactly a week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right in that there was a lot of dross in Smith's squad, but Barjonas and McGuffie were McGlynn signings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Was it Kevin Cuthbert who played Nisbet at right back? Halcyon days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 None of the loan players that Mcglynn brought in that season, Hendry excepted, looked up to it at all. In hindsight he isn't a "firefighting" manager, rather one that you need to let build a squad - as we saw the season past. However, for context, this is the team that started the first league game of that season away to Stranraer. Wright, Watson, Valentine, Murray, Benedictus, Gillespie, Buchanan, Matthews, Wedderburn, Nisbet, McKay. Subs, McGuff, Milne, Flanagan, Stevenson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
