foreverarover Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Agree however Ross maybe signed for us because mcglynn was here. He's maybe told his agent to find him a new club since mcglynn left. It's all the talk of one person at this stage though.It's also not beyond the realms of possibility that our squad had been largely together for a few years and built by mcglynn, so Murray wants to come in and make his own mark. He's chosen to move a few players on in order to do so. We still have a good core of players that have been with us for a few seasons now but Murray will ultimately be judged on results so let's let him build his squad and see the results before judging him. Maybe shock horror the folk Mcglynn had a love with in playing every week were actually pretty dire and played whist knowingly injured.

Citizen tests and all that shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was good, he was good, felt like it was only for a few games though, he was never really bad though, just a bit anonymous really 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be good for you, but can get a bit aggressive and headstrong. Nice presence in the midfield, if he gets playing time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent enough player, good technique and good presence. Didn't make a huge impact with us, though McGlynn often played him quite advanced and not sure that's his best position. Aggressive and strong in the tackle but also a massive walking temper tantrum. His attitude can and does let him down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Williamson is better than a lot of loanees we've had from Rangers but that isn't saying a lit. Had his best few games for us right at the end of the season when we had Spencer and Matthews/Stanton behind him. He's not a player any Rovers fan will look at and start greeting because he's not coming back, but most will be positive about his contribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked good in spells at the end of the season, but worries me that he's considered good enough to be an under-21 internationalist for Scotland. Highlights the problems with our talent pool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I'm not sure Williamson is quite ready to be a starter every week for a team looking at winning the league but he's definitely a useful squad player, even if it was difficult to tell what his best position was for us. He is good for a red card though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Williamson was impressive in the away game at Firhill and very impressive in the away game at Hamilton. Other than that, I thought his signing was a hindrance to the progress of Aaron Arnott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Or the OF bias.This is true. Kai Kennedy is absolutely dugmeat but continued to get call ups. He also gets rave reviews in the press despite being underwhelming for three loans spells in a row. He'll be bouncing about the lower leagues in a few years time getting gigs based on who he played for before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Listened to podcast with Murray on Graeme Spiers Patreon site, he mentions the squad is too big again. Also mentioned we need strikers, but didn't say anything about defence. Did imply the young guys would be going out on loan. Certainly got the impression he won't be signing players for the sake of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
