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 2 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...

Bairnardo Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Another fucking game scheduled for when I'm working tonight. We have to be ready for a bounce off these tonight. Don't be getting a shite result at home because we expected the same Insipid bunch to turn up as wev beaten twice already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with this and don't completely disagree with your assessment of Nesbitt either. I think both would be perfectly acceptable as squad players. Nesbitt in particular I think could give us a different dimension coming off the bench, however, as far as the first 11 is concerned, I feel that Lawal is a better option and that we need a completely different type of midfielder in there too. A box to box Vaulks type to do McGinn's running and allow Lawal to concentrate on supporting the strikers would be ideal. I think the main issue with either Nesbitt or Oliver comes when we need to depend on them as starters because for all their good points there are just as many drawbacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Just having a look at our upcoming fixtures and seems like we will have no home games for a 5 week period in the new year. Won’t be ideal for cashflow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agreed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Hetherington is just rotten and not a viable option in any side that wants to win the league. Oliver is a bit better than mcguffie but like him is no use when the going gets tough. Nesbitt is the best of last year's strugglers and in the right midfield I'm sure would be ok. We need someone to do McGinns dirty work and then I'd play lawal ahead of mcguffie or Oliver when fit and nesbitt. Mcguffie and hetherington shouldn't be anywhere near the side especially if Oliver is on the bench. No point having him and mcguffie as options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thinking has to be what gets the best out of what we have. That has to be 2 engine room players in the middle of the park signed in the transfer window. Let's be blunt FFC is seen as a side you can bully in the midfield and their right so address the issue and the benefits are obvious 1. Protects the defense but gives the likes of McCann the chance to overlap 2. Gets the best out of McGinn the most creative player on the books 3. Our lightweight forward players will be the same but with more chances created goals should come -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I don't mind Oliver but would happily drive Hetherington and McGuffie to their next clubs myself 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Wow. Just wow. The “assists” stats keeps on getting bandied about for a player who contributes as close to the square root of nowt as it’s possible to get. I take it seven or eight meaningful passes in 16 or 17 games by a full time pro against predominantly part time sides marks him out as a key component in our side. Top tip……ignore his one pass every second game, and watch his meaningful contribution (and by that, I don’t mean running around doing nothing) over 90 minutes and you might see why he needs to be jettisoned as soon as possible. I suppose it’s all about opinions, but I would be amazed if McGlynn doesn’t get rid of Nesbitt at the end of the season. I would have rated Telfer as a superior sand dancer type, and he hasn’t done much since leaving us, and Nesbitt will go the same way. As far as gauging a player’s worth, I think I am just fine. A far poorer team without Nesbitt? Deary me. So last season, where would we have finished without Nesbitt’s contribution? A key member of our Bermuda Triangle midfield both then and now.

By all accounts we have raised the cash to fill the hole for the season so 3/4 weeks without a game at home is irrelevant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
