Guest Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Strikes me we are now properly planning as a football club again. Manager who knows how he wants to play. He knows what type of player he wants and doesn’t just sign anyone unless he really wants them. While we clearly still have financial challenges it seems the management of the club is starting to give the manager the stability to do his job properly. If we can keep on the Fifers coat tails till we have the two games against them I think yesterday could have been quite a significant day.

Hope so, because ultimately we will be in won or bust territory in the games against them. I don't think there will be an issue with staying there or thereabouts, but they aren't going to hand it to us. You have to imagine that they might yet give us the two points required that puts it into "its at least in our own hands" territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Very excited about the Meekison deal. McGlynn has done well it seems to bring him in, especially considering it seems United fans wanted him in and around their staring XI 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC Bairdy played under McGlynn at Raith(?), so suits his type of forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkirkfan1985 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Hopefully a few weeks from now our new number 9 will have scored a few goals and all fans can spell his name correctly 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shortcoming he has are more than superceded by his ball carrying and ability to beat a man, his clever feet in tight situations and his threat in front of goal. Regardless of Nesbitts form and Meekisons potential, I'd still be willing to hear arguments that Lawal is the best of the 3 of them if its a choice of those three for the one role. Il be disappointed in McGlynn if the intention here is that Lawal us surplus, but I seriously doubt that it is. That boy is a bona fide game changer. They don't come along often. Between Lawal, Nesbitt, and Meekison, they’ll need to compete for the number 10 jersey. Whoever’s on form will play. Exactly the competition McGlynn wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was just 5 loans in at the one time? I've actually miscounted right enough as the two signings yesterday take us up to 5 so by my reckoning we don't have anymore left. You can yes, and teams do regularly. In the Romanov days Hearts had about a dozen players on loan from Kaunas. There is a proposal floating about since pre-Covid to limit international loans in number per club but it hasn't gone through yet. There's currently no limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as per the twitter spat regarding the term loans, cross border loans are actually temporary transfers so no limits. There are limits along the lines quoted for domestic loans/ temporary transfers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairn in Exile Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Is there anybody else like me thinking that maybe we should have put off signing Allan until Sunday? You know, have the deal all set up, just the signature on the dotted line required, but leaving him at Clyde on the chance that he is able to score a couple and maybe take 2 or 3 points off our Friends across the Forth? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 3 hours ago, Bairnardo said: Aye maybe. I have always had the impression McGlynn is a fa of Sean Mackie. I felt like McCann really had to work to displace him and at the early stages was always convinced McGlynn wanted Mackie in there. If he ever gets fit, we may well end the season with Donaldson & Watson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
