Glennon was decent enough and Schmeichel and Krul were top class as was Mallo. Even Lambers done a good job. Only poor ones were Higgins who was diabolical and Bobby. I am not counting loan keepers,i actually felt sorry for Lambers as he was treated poorly by Yogi.When we got Kasper we actually asked to get Joe Hart but they offered Kasper instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but not sure of the point then as surely all that matters is having a good keeper between the sticks whether on loan or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are talking about poor loan keepers you forgot about Butter Flinders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeh, good shout. Can’t work out who was worse between him and Higgins. Having mentioned Lambers too. I wasn’t aware of a fall out with him but seem to remember talks of Glennon being treated pretty harshly for an error against Dunfermline. Had been fairly solid for us bar that, if I remember correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Bairn Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Our keepers range from Willie Wigham to Leo Fasan. All the rest somewhere in the middle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just have to be players of the right quality The right qualities. We have had plenty with quality (relatively) in their feet, but zero in their attitude and desire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sore point when I entered his name as Whigham (correctly) in a book article, and some proof reader changed it Wigham, and I got pelters for it. Watson, Rennie Whigham Parks and Marshall were all great for us down the years. Edited March 22, 2022 by Duncan Freemason 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you got the editor telt so they could bollock the proof reader. As someone who has proofread a few books, that is a horror show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorted out the spine of the side which is exactly what we needed to do. Ambrose was solid at the back and the midfield won its battles comfortably. The top of the championship is opening up nice for Kilmarnock, it’s no coincidence they went for a guy like McInnes……. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen and Hibs both have done that recently and it's done absolutely nothing for them. Edited March 23, 2022 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Every Aberdeen fan I know wanted McInnes out. Always told them he was a good manager and they'd end up bottom 6 without him. They might still get there but have definitely gone backwards since he left anyway. He's hardly setting the heather alight at Killie but still getting the job done. Most experienced managers that are out of work at the moment are that way for a reason, but less of a gamble than yet another rookie imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combination of factors but primarily results/fan’s expectations are normally the catalyst for BODs to bin managers.

Can think of a club not to far away from us…… I know but at least replace them with someone with a decent track record . I mean glass and Maloney have done absolutely nothing managerially. Too many coaches getting jobs at the top before they've cut their teeth in the lower leagues if you ask me. It works every now and again but very rarely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works every now and again but very rarely. Seen an article about T Wright, didn’t realise he was at ST J for nearly seven seasons. Done exceptionally well and would probably still been at STJ had they not sold his two best players from under his nose, just an example how things can change very quickly for even the experienced guys. Take another example what’s currently going on at Dundee, utter desperation by the BOD to stay in the SPL, sack the manager after he managed I think two/three wins and bring in a guy who’s best mates with Strachan. Who’d be a football manager 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
