I did notice a few weeks ago he was trending on Twitter after he cost them a goal and a win. Certainly not liked by some of the Leyton Orient fans. At least he will get a winners medal and go back to Rotherham. www.youtube.com/@DerekTaylor84 Edited April 30, 2023 by derektaylor84 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I think McCart was a decent player who was made to look better than his level by the players and system we had around him. He was the weakest defensively out of the 3 centrebacks and his main selling point was being left footed. I really liked the guy as a defender, but no surprise he’s struggling at a higher level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he can play League 2 but his confidence is probably shot and he was very ropey when not in form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 McCart moving from us to the Championship felt weird, but Rotherham had CBs playing a similar way so guess it was an educated punt for them. He was never strong or fast so England was always likley to gobble him up, i guess. Last season probably showed up some mental weaknesses too. He'll be back up here at Aberdeen/Hearts/Hibs one day and be fine, i reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Speaking of McCart, when you look at how consistent the selection of our back three was from January 2021 up to Kerr leaving in September 2022, then look how many players have played there since, it’s no huge surprise how we’ve conceded more readily, and players haven’t looked nearly as good. Since September 2021: Gordon, McCart, Rooney, Ambrose, Brown, Mueller, Dendoncker, Cleary, Mahon, Booth ?, Mitchell, Considine, McGowan It takes time for a defence to gel, and I don’t think Callum ever gave it a chance following Kerr’s departure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the only real issue has been RCB. LCB was McCart, and since he left its consistently been Considine, while Gordon has consistently been CB throughout. If the Cleary situation hadnt happened he'd probably have still been first choice and that wouldve been 12 months of him being a regular. In terms of rebuilding the backline it wouldve timed up well to have Cleary settling in while McCart/Gordon were here, then having Gordon/Cleary settled when Considine came in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any indication at all around who the new owners actually are? Haven't heard a single thing about them other than what the club said, which in a way is impressive job by the club keeping it all under wraps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a name but my guess is it’s probably someone jumping to conclusions or making things up, so i’d prefer not to fuel anything by saying it publicly. I have to stress that I’m in no way ITK on Saints compared to many others online, which is why I think it won’t have any substance to it, as it would have been in the mainstream media by now if true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I'm always worried about the overseas owner as more often than not in Scotland it's not gone particularly well. Likewise in the lower Leagues in England. Although I imagine there is people out there who know and if they had some concerns about them then they'd be leaking info regarding those concerns? Would love to know who they are. If/when we're confirmed secure we may see an announcement at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
