Peil Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 24 minutes ago, Richey Edwards said: Unfortunately Maguire has to go down as one of the most disappointing signings I can remember. I expected him to be a good signing but he looks finished now. Aye, likewise. I watched him a lot at Sunderland and while a couple of years had passed I hadn't expected him to regress so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for me it's 6 players required. 6 players isn't going to be enough I'm afraid. I think we're all in agreement that we currently have 6 starters in Albinson, Musonda, McGinty , Murdoch, Dempsey and Dipo (who is likely to leave). So presuming he does leave that means we need 6 players to come in and be staters. Relying on every one of those 6 being successes is a bit naive so we're probably looking at needing around 10 players imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to use coaching to get improved performances from the existing squad and add wisely in a few positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our hands are possibly tied due to handing two year deals to the likes of Bangala, JML, Ashford etc who haven't worked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected him to be a good signing but he looks finished now. There's only one player in recent years that I can think of, who was over thirty and played for Ayr that I thought was absolutely brilliant. He's away managing Annan nowadays. He Looked Good and Tried hard. Maguire is at the end of his career and his spell at Ayr shows that he truly only showed up for the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
