We probably need 8 new faces just to get close to where Airdrie are at this point in time. They might have 'done a Falkirk' by putting an unknown entity in the dugout. Hopefully this will bite them on the arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPar Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 For all the talk about signings, I would not mind seeing an outgoing or seven. McGlynn has inherited pretty much the worst squad in the club's 146-year history. Performed for a month, sacked it off for the other eight. A disgraceful bunch. Getting them out the door is going to be a hell of a challenge, in some cases mission impossible. Compare it to McKinnon. Within weeks of his appointment, some of the worst of Hartley and Mitch's mad mental summer had been paid off and sent packing. And by the following close season, all eighteen of the ton of dross signed that summer had gone, giving McKinnon pretty much a clean slate to build his own squad. McGlynn will be afforded no such resource or luxury due to the contractual and financial situation. I did think we might have been further on in terms of squad construction, given how early our season finished and the appointment of the new management team was made. But that was on the (forlorn) hope that some of last season's lot would have buggered off. Hasn't happened. McGlynn has strengthened the defensive spine of the team. McGinn could be a decent signing and might also provide a bit of the leadership which we've lacked for years. But as it stands, there's still no drive or mobility in the middle of the park and nothing in the final third - perhaps an on-form Morrison apart - that would give any opposition defence cause for concern. Loads of room for improvement, but the manager, if one hand tied behind his back would be an overstatement, is severely restricted by what he has inherited. A pity, as give him the resource and freedom of his predecessors, and I'd back him all day long against the likes of McPake or the rookies that Airdrie and QOS are going with in the dug-out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Ken squad numbers mean f**k all usually, but Hetherington, Nesbitt and McGuffie retaining 8, 10 and 11 gives me a wee bit of the fear x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Mcglynn fucking loves squad numbers tbh - I would assume that's where he sees them playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 None of them deserve to be at the club never mind starters after their shitebaggery last season. McGlynn has obviously come in and given everyone a clean slate but I'm still hopeful he jettisons a few of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Myles Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I'm hoping mcglynn will get a lot more out of some of these players. He's managed to turn Brad Spencer into a footballer so anything is surely possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counted 19 bodies, some of which were youngsters, 2 goalkeepers in Martin & Morrison and a few other unfamiliar faces. Given we're supposed to have 20 signed players that means a fair few of them were missing today which is positive. Obviously could just be injured but I'd rather think positively. On the negative front Mckay, Hetherington and Seb Ross were visible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mccall normally has his way with sevco loans but he's also stuck on a midfield duo of Docherty & Bannigan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
