Fuctifano Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I wonder if Caldwell felt he went OTT after the Morton game and is trying a one man good cop bad cop approach, knowing that he's got to keep the players onside, even the ones he doesn't want for another 5 games (max). On that note, I wonder now we're in the championship and staking our hopes (rightly or wrongly) on January window turnaround, whether we'll find the cost of running the USH prohibitive this season? Particularly for any December home games... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnoc Moire Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I was at the game - outstanding we were not! We were marginally less dreadful than Falkirk in my opinion .... BUT a point to stop the rot is certainly preferable to 8 consecutive defeats.This and the Scotland game in the evening made it my chirpiest weekend for long enough (I obviously do not lead an exciting life) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Did we not agree last season that Miles Storey is NOT a winger? He's not much of a footballer but he does have pace so could be employed as an Isaac English type striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 What is the point of Miles Storey? Still think getting him and Conor Sammon on the last day of last season's transfer window had the feel of Archie wanting only one of them. And then having to take the two of them because of the way the negotiations went. Archie hadn't a clue how to integrate Dools, Sammon and Storey into anything consistent, meaningful or effective last season. The obvious interpretation, I will leave to the reader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't sign Storey and Sammon on the last day of the window. We signed them both on Friday 11th August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 At that stage? Quite a lot. Probably better to focus on the back to back pant-shittings vs Dundee and Accies or the utterly abject 0-1 vs a Motherwell side with nothing to play for other than not getting injured for the cup final in our last home game, or indeed the playoffs themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Max Melbourne away. OK, he was shite but it seems strange to do it now leaving us with only Penrice as left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Wouldn’t be surprised if there was a Ross County type January clear out. Can’t see Scobbie or Jefferies (if is still alive) extending. Storer will be away. I’d be trying to bin Storey, Elliott, Bell, Mutumbo, Ntambwe, Lennox and Keown if possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 You could make a case for pretty much everyone to be moved on during the January window bar Fitzpatrick, and probably Sneddon and Penrice on account of their relative youth. The first season after we got promoted we shifted on about 6 or 7 guys in the transfer window including a couple we'd only signed that summer who had been hopeless (John Baird and Mark Kerr), this has to be similar. The 3 remaining on loan can go, including Gordon, not much point in him being here to be fit come March / April time unless we're paying zero of his wages. Only Bell, O'Ware, McGinty, Penrice and Fitzpatrick are contracted beyond the end of the season so I think we'd struggle to get rid of Bell and we'll probably have to sign around 4 defenders so I'd keep Keown until the end of the season so we don't have to sign a 5th. Agree with everyone else on the exit list if we can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
