Like top players dinna aye mhak good coaches or managers - same for keepers. Leighton was a wonderful keeper but shit keeper coach I’m being a bit flippant, I even felt sorry for the guy for the level of abuse when he got with us. But by f**k did he annoy the hell out of me. It’s not his fault but the fact he was our keeper for so long was just a sad indictment of our standards then. I have no idea how good a coach he is tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren fans reckon he's very highly thought of as a coach. Let's be honest he hasn't done a bad job with Hladky or Alnwick. Is his Mrs not from Aberdeen aswell? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the last time I watched Alnwick play (cup tie at Hearts), he tried to do that thing that Langfield tried to do when he was with us (& invariably failed). He ran quickly to the edge of his box, & tried to take a quick kick with the outside of his foot, only to slice it miles from the intended target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Absolutely no idea how Langfield is as a coach, but if he comes back I’m more than happy to give him a chance. Craig Samson is there just now on a temporary basis, so he may get kept on, who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the ones the manager wants to cut loose there'll be some who, for a variety of reasons, want to move on. If we add the two groups together we may be looking at a pretty substantial clear out. Ferguson - surely will go Ramsey - will probably go Ramirez - man of many clubs, Glass probably the reason he's here Lewis - I doubt the keepers we're being linked with are coming here as back-up, he won't want to stay as a number 2, my guess is he goes JET - clearly out of favour, quite likely to go Ojo - I don't think he's Goodwin's type of player, decent technically but shirks responsibility Campbell - major disappointment at Kilmarnock, does he really have a future here? Kennedy - has largely been a disappointment Gallagher - disappointing to date and linked with Dundee Considine - can he bounce back from that injury at his age? - we may know the answer by the end of the season. McLennan - Can't remember when he last played well enough to justify selection Devlin - permanently injured Obviously I'm not saying all those guys will go but it's amazing how many players it's easy to imagine will either want to leave or we'd be reasonably happy to be rid of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iminavest Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Having a squad of decent players is fine but if they don't fit how the manager wants to play, it's somewhat pointless. It's no coincidence our best spell over the past 20 years has been with a core squad of 12-15 players who can all slot into a system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Gallagher is decent/good centre back. I think his recent interview shows he’s had his share o problems since signing - Goodwin will stick with him rest o this season - be very surprised if he’s nae here next season Edited March 28, 2022 by 72redz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher has had a bit of an upturn since JG arrived. He seems like the kind of no nonsense centre half he might like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was up to me, & in an ideal world I’d let these go (& I’m aware a good few have contracts) Lewis - gives me the fear now. Devlin - we’ve been more than generous. MacKenzie - loan him out. Campbell - not good enough. Ojo McGeouch. Can’t rely on his fitness JET. McLennan. Kennedy Jenks & Montgomery will return to their clubs Ferguson - will be sold. The time is right for both him & club (£££’s) Ramirez - think he’ll want to leave That’s 13 players & realistically I think 10 could be away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that players aren’t that daft. They know if there’s no contract talks been had by now, they’re asking their agents to look around for a possible new club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not now, but it nearly happened in January by all accounts. Which suggests both club and player were very close to the point of no return. However I also agree that the change of manager and a few reasonably decent performances may have changed perspectives. 22 minutes ago, DrewDon said: I get the feeling that Goodwin likes McLennan. So do I, but seeing how he's performed in matches my guess is that it must based on how he performs in training. Unless he starts playing a lot better in actual games I think Goodwin will get disillusioned sooner rather than later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
