I've seen a few fans from clubs at this level say they hope they're after Turner but as you said I thought the expectation was he'd jump up a level. Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up at a club near the bottom end. Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at St Mirren. St Mirren or St Johnstone I reckon, his dad played for the buddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Replacing Hendry will be a big job for the Staff as he was clearly a class above this league, interesting to see who John McGlynn has on his Radar. After this season and how we’ve played I’ve got full confidence in the Gaffer and Smudger to find adequate replacements for any we lose. Thought Mendy looked good last night but I think he’ll be released as it’s only one game and he’s not done enough for an extension. Wish the guy all the best if he’s away, maybe a League 1 or 2 team will take a punt on him, Kelty might even be a decent shout. ETA delighted Lewis Vaughan has made it to the end of the season without a major injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Daniel Armstrong likely to be offered a new contract? He’s an Ayr boy and a player I’ve always liked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine he will have been but it hasn't been publicly stated. He's a very frustrating player as on his day he's unplayable but he's also very inconsistent. I'd be happy to have him here next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t you see we’re ripping the pish out of Falkirk here? Doubt Armstrong would go to Ayr. But stranger things have happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, I’m not sure replacing Hendry will be the chore we anticipate. Hendry was a player who was all over, tracing back, pushing forward, distributing, etc, and much of our style was built around his all-around presence. Assuming JMcG likes the 4-4-2 with a diamond middle, we can fill an AM and DM role with Tait as the AM and a new signing as the DM (or, I know, fire suit on, using someone like King). We wouldn’t be as silky, but would certainly do just fine with Spencer and Matthews as the RM and LM, and by distributing the attack through a couple of players versus more of the current focus on Hendry, we might have more success. We’ve already moved to (hopefully) shore up the defense, and if the thoughts that we might re-sign Musonda are correct, I think we’re nearly finished there…pending KMac signing full-time. If we add Armstrong back in, we have cover at LB and L/RM, so a CM/AM/DM or two would be useful, depending on how our MA’s are developing. That would leave the attack to be finished, and we have Vaughan and Keatings already, Armstrong would also cover a wing, and getting someone like Ross would be excellent. Ugwu might be nice to keep around as an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Post-match against Alloa he said he absolutely loves it at Rovers and that we've got an excellent group of players here. I'd expect he'll pen a new deal soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he's playing championship football. He's young enough to progress and I'd be happy to see that happen at us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks Park Kdy Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The one thing I like about Armstrong is that he never hides regardless of how well he is playing, he never stops. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Is this MS gadgie not the same wee baw sack that used to pretend to be a Rovers fan on here by the name of Messi Scott? His patter is identical. It is. He came back under a new name with the same initials as his previous incarnation. I would never have guessed it was the same person from that Thankfully he talks as much shite the second time around so it wasn't hard to figure out it was him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suppose if he’s got enough time to to deliberately watch a whole game back just to get a snapshot of Ross Matthews on his arse, he has enough time to create multiple accounts on here..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I hear there are quite a few clubs sniffing around Tait and Armstrong. Armstrong has history of course, but Tait is under contract AFAIK. In my opinion, neither is as good as they think they are and both would benefit and develop enormously under the current management. Unless a Fulham type club is interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to see both stay and develop with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 The problem with having a good season in this league is that your best players, particularly if they are out of contract, get picked off. Ayr found this to their cost a couple of seasons ago as well. Tait is at least under contract so we can sit in for a fee there if there's string enough interest and it's not his boyhood club wanting to sign him. It's good that most the squad is under contract, albeit there are a few that aren't and some of them will get better offers. Let's see what comes up and we can deal with it when/if it happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Was thinking this morning that this is probably the first time since 1994-95 and 1995-96 that we have had successive feel good seasons. Have I missed any out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
