Henderson scored well for Alloa. Can’t believe he’s still at Hearts at 22. Would imagine they’d prefer a Championship club to loan him to. Again imagine Hamilton would be Championship at the lowest. Know nothing about Jamieson. Be interesting to see who else out there is still available on a free. Likes of Telfer and Mutch still without a club at this stage, as examples. I wonder if the Fifers might take a punt on Mutch. He’s not great but still better than Mehmet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day, there's not many teams left with just the one first team goalkeeper up here. Bit of a fall from grace given just a few years ago there were rumours of Swansea scouts coming to watch him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I got slated for having the cheek to say I didn't rate Mutch,he was ok and nothing more.He will make a back up keeper at best. We have had worse and we have had better keepers,it was the correct decision to release him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely and although prone to great shot stopping, his awareness around the box was poor which includes set pieces. Also heard he was one of the highest earners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross B Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I wonder how many of our signings were identified by the scout that's working for us (his name escapes me) and how many are McGlynn's. I would find it hard to believe that some suitable strikers have not been identified by a scout working for us since the start of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing for sure, the club has acted far more professionally for keeping transfers/identifying players very private, unlike the previous incumbents. Although it pisses most of us off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would find it hard to believe that some suitable strikers have not been identified by a scout working for us since the start of the year. Identifying is the easy bit though I'd say. Getting them to sign for a league one side that's been a shambles for the past few seasons is the difficult bit. I've no doubt that we will be in negotiations for a few but when it comes to loans I reckon it'll be after the league cup.before you start to see top flight clubs finalising their squads . Many are still getting players in and will.want to have new signings confirmed before moving others on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jamieson was on loan at Caley and Clyde last season and I can't recall him scoring many goals. Although he possibly may have scored for Clyde against us not that it's any great shock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Quote I would leave that thought well alone. His performance as a manager and a Sporting Director is now pretty much set in stone. Nothing whatsoever to be gained by anyone hounding him for trying to earn a living (especially when it’s not as a pro football coach/manager/DoF). Leave it be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How very sensible of you and normally I would agree but after all the damage he caused and his arrogant way of justifying means I have very little sympathy for him.he probably got a cut of his sons severance pay that he would have helped negotiate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had worse and we have had better keepers,it was the correct decision to release him. I can still remember commenting how he was a mistake/goal every other game after him throwing the ball in the net verse Arbroath. He couldn’t keep his concentration and unfortunately if you are consistent at that you are not going to go any further. I hoped he would get that out his system as he gained more experience, wasn’t to be. Edited July 19, 2022 by Sarcastic Bairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggerG Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Mutch was good with the ball at his feet, but not nearly as good as he thought he was! His performances were summed up in a pre-season game (I think) when he miscontrolled the ball while trying to do something clever with it then conceded a penalty when he brought down the attacker that took it off his toe. He then, of course, promptly saved the kick! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
