Connell should never have been signed, its all very well having the odd good game but no consistency and not a Championship player. Big John I get the feeling is the same. Lewis is a great player but not a number 9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as easy as that though is it. Numerous times yesterday in the second half, our left back was being doubled up on because no midfielder was tracking back to help him, he couldn't just go "tackle" because he would lose regardless. Our whole game yesterday was just off, at every position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Regarding McNulty, there has to be a damn good reason hes still out of contract, given Arbroath, and a few others are crying out for a striker and we signed The Helicopter over him so something must be wrong with him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I just wish we would start playing with two up front & a higher press. Other teams can come at us without any pressure & generally outscore us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk claiming we should get rid of Connell and bring him need to come along and join us in the real world. Has it not occurred to anyone that Connell is in all likelihood not being paid very much by us? That switch alone would probably cost the club an extra £15k+ a month. Not in any way, shape or form a realistic option. I’ve not read anything other than the posts on this page about the game, nor the other thread, but it’s the same knee jerk stuff after a defeat, although this obviously wasn’t ideal. Up until the game on Saturday, I think we had the joint best defensive record in the league. You don’t get to that after a third of the season whilst “needing an experienced head”. We were very clearly doing something right. We had a bad game. Move on, keep doing what we were doing prior to that - not losing very many goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt McNulty was in anything near 5k a week at Utd. Also he's apparently been training with Arbroath, not sure for fitness or with a view to signing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 He will have been on a very decent wage at Reading, and each of his loan clubs will have been paying a chunk of that to take him. He’s been on loan five times since 2019 and scored 15 goals in 80 games since. That’s not exactly scintillating form. He didn’t look very good for Dundee Utd. He’s not the silver bullet some seem to think he is. I think he’d do alright, but he isn’t a realistic target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were top of the form table before the game against Dundee. It's the tightest league in years but some folk are absolutely desperate to get into the hysterics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heid_The_Baw Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Saturday 2nd half was so bad it felt like McGrymm was in the dug out again. First time I have left at 70 minutes! Utterly woeful. Hopefully we use it as a catalyst to sort out the cracks that are merely papered over. January Murrays urgency is getting in a striker. Gullan is not cutting it. Vaughan is far from match sharpness. The big Faroese lad is awful. Connell flatters to deceive and I canny even remember the other lads name...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Gullan we have barely seen because of the hammy, Vaughan is working up to fitness, Little John is impossible to honestly evaluate because of lack of time, Connell actually does a lot of hard work and helps us, McBride is like Little John in that we don’t/can’t know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Loving the references to "the Faroese guy" John Frederiksen. Its not exactly the hardest name for English speakers to recall or pronounce, is it? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Brechin fan reporting they expect Arnott’s loan will probably end in January. He hasn’t won a starting role for the last several weeks and is only getting on for the last 10-15 minutes most weeks. Seems he isn’t performing up there.
