With all due respect the vast majority of the starting 11 is made up of Mcglynn’s signings. The exceptions to that are right back (admittedly a big issue), McCann (who I don’t think anyone would advocate dropping) and where McGlynn has actively chosen to play one of the ‘shite’ over his signings (e.g. Nesbitt rather than Lawal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously been in discussion with the board over January moves or he wouldn't be looking at options but who knows whether he needs to move players on or not to facilitate that. If he does I'm sure he realises that to have a chance of pushing the pars we need players in badly and will have to make some tough decisions on who is told they can move on. Sometimes you have to move on one of your better players to improve the side. I wonder if Morrison would have a few suitors. He has scored a few worldies which would perhaps sway someone else to take a chance on him. I understand we tried to sign Morrison for a fee last January but Falkirk said no to the deal mate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listened to McGlynn's pre QoS interview he explained why Lawal hasn't been playing. So you'd be happy if we bin the squad and start again then because that's what you seem to be suggesting? That's worked really well over the past few seasons, hasn't it?! I'm saying that a few better additions than the McKay's, Williamson's and Nesbitt's (none of whom are McGlynn's signings) of this world would make a big difference to us. A proper RB, a box to box midfielder and a striker of quality would make all the difference IMO. They would compliment the guys that McGlynn has already brought in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves a stray pass. Nesbitt's going to have to be the 10 with Lawal out and Gary Oliver being gash.

The last game we played 6 were mcglynn signings and 5 carried over from last season and we got pumped. The more players from last season in the side the worse we get which is no surprise. Should be a maximum of two at any time if you ask me if you want any kind of a half decent performance 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) McCann is the only one of last season’s crew who is 100% worthy of the jersey. Other than him, the nearest is probably Morrison. Beyond that, then there is no-one from last season (other than McKay for obvious reasons) that should anywhere near TFS next season. I remain convinced that we do not make real progress until McGuffie and Nesbitt are gone. Those two are founder members of the 21/22 failure club, and are still plying the self same nonsense this season. I would be amazed if McGlynn doesn’t seek to sideline both asap. Doing that in January could well transform us imho.…….and just to echo other views on Wilson…….good luck to the lad. He is blameless in all of this. That he was signed at all was purely down to Holt and/or Sheerin……they are the two who determined him good enough, and it’s no surprise that neither of them are in decision making roles any longer. Sadly, FFC paid the price for giving them the chance to demonstrate how woeful they really were. At least Sheerin had the integrity to publically accept he wasn’t up to it.

knee jerk reaction Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 If we look to bring anyone in during the window then it has to be a decent natural attacking right back. Attacking full backs on both sides would help our forward/s out and support Morrison. Lawal out is a big loss, I think everyone, including McGlynn eventually, could see he's a class act 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn in Exile Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I have to say that I'm not getting the optimism on here regarding the upcoming January transfer window and bringing in a couple of game changers. We were all doom and gloom the last few January windows with everybody saying that because of contract situations you can never get anyone decent in. Take the last January window: ATS, Paul Watson, Jaze Kabia, Keaghan Jacobs. Leigh Griffiths was the exception but sadly he turned out to be a total dud. I hope I'm wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Not been on here for a few weeks but good to see that a few still think the player with the most assists in the league, and the 2nd most in the country, is shite and should be punted. If you can’t see that we would be a far, far poorer team without Nesbitt in it, despite his flaws and lack of goals himself, then genuinely don’t think football is for you.

Russ Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Also must be in the minority that quite likes Gary Oliver. He shouldn’t be starting every game but there’s definitely a place for him in our midfield. Progresses the ball very well and very good at keeping hold of the ball. If we can get a better option in then sound but if not I think rotating him, Hetherington and Yeats depending on who we’re playing and what kind of player we need in there is absolutely fine. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 So the first of two critical games that will shape our season for me. Regardless of what the transfer/loan window brings (unless McGlynn pulls a couple of rabbits) we must get six points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
