Ethan's street's ahead of Seb, as was shown in the cup game against us last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that at the end of the season, out of Telfer, McGuffie, Nesbitt and Morrison that Telfer is the one I would have kept. He was out of contract though and easy to get rid of. Out of the four, for me he was the best player and would have really benefited a Stephen McGinn type in there with him.

Can only assume McGlynn thought he could make better use of his wage, as Telfer was our best player last season so it was a strange one letting him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Get it with Telfer, a very decent player and should have used that skill every Saturday, however couldn’t be half arsed most games, goodbye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioBairn Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I didn’t mind Telfer but rewarding anyone of our squad with a new contract would’ve been fucking baffling. The ones that remain are just lucky Holt was just as bad at his job as they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that his head dropped in a lot of games but he was usually here, there and everywhere trying to make things happen and covering for others. If he had some better players alongside him he'd have been very effective IMO. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just a victim of Holts piss poor recruitment and the fact we have so many absolute duffers on longer contracts. I suppose it’s all about opinions though. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my stats , I’m not that much of a geek. That came from our coaching staff at one of the pub tour events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Telfer was a good player for us but his ability was probably amplified given the utter dross he had to play alongside in his 3 years here. Shat out of the odd 50/50 tackle but again not helped by the fact that the other players who were meant to be doing the dirty side of the game couldn't even do that. Dont agree that he 'hid' at any point in games either, a loss but not irreplaceable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Myles Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Telfer had the talent to easily be one of the best players in this league but only managed to hit the heights once in a blue moon unfortunately. Didn't help him having to play alongside the likes of hetherington and miller but I still feel he has the talent to be able to run midfields at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Would be surprised if Telfer doesn't end up back in the Championship next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Telfer should’ve had his contact ripped up after that shitebag display at home to Raith. Getting himself needlessly sent off for being a massive shitebag.Good riddance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 When you look at some of the shite still under contract Charlie Telfer is better than a lot of them. However he was also an underachiever, sometimes you just need to totally clear the decks. At least if he decides to chuck it at some point he's got a career ahead of him, pretty sure I read somewhere he's got a law degree. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Telfer is better than some of those still under contract at the club. However, like them, he ultimately isn't good enough for what we need. Both can be true. He showed sparks of being a really talented player, but it was all too infrequent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Caractacus Potts Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Think McGinn is a great signing. Would rather get in quality like that and have tireless workers surrounding them than a team of players who think their League One superstars. Won’t know how things pan out till we see the team play but more positive that McGlynn knows what we need to escape this league than any of the last lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 There’s no doubt that Telfer was easily our most talent player last season however for me he didn’t show his ability often enough - a guy with that level of ability should have stood out in the 3rd Division in every game. Granted, Holt’s terrible recruitment and Sheerin and Rennie’s garbage tactics won’t have helped him but I wanted to see him grab control of games more. Would he have benefitted from playing with McGinn who would likely have been on his wavelength ability wise - probably however we just need to trust McGlynn who didn’t see him as part of his plans and let the manager build his own team. Am I excited about next season ? Not quite yet but I’m closer to being excited than I have been in 3 or 4 years (I never bought into all the bullshit around ‘Don’ Hartley) so that must be a good thing ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
