North British Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 So by the time we play St Mirren on Saturday the transfer window will have been open for just over three weeks, I had hoped that we would have had most of our dealings completed by now in order to give the new guys a hit out against St Mirren , before the more serious business of Dunfermline, Accies and QoS come along . Alas we seem to be in a bit of a jam again . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but most Morton fans would rate their gran higher than McGinty and Baird would definitely be rated streets ahead of the other two. Fjortoft was one of those players that seemed to get rated higher and higher the longer he didn't play, largely by the fact he wasn't McGinty and McGinty was playing. The original point about Fjortoft being the better one on paper doesn't stack up though. A stream of managers have all now had McGinty ahead of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hopkin and McElhone tooForgot about the PE teacher. Hopkin played him regularly with us, no? Well in the games between Fjortoft coming back to fitness and Hopkin getting sacked he was played. I don’t particularly rate Fjortoft but I truly fail to see how he’s a worse option than McGinty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm86 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 McGinty’s been captain at most clubs he’s played for. He’s clearly got leadership qualities. He’s generally very good in the air, but he seems to mentally switch off several times a game. Plus he’s very one footed. It’s not just one foot being stronger than the other. It’s the right foot being virtually non-existent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being paid to recruit, whereas Hopkin didn't have them at their disposal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazka6 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) On the backroom front I don’t recall the club mentioning ANY expected changes there, but it keeps being raised? Are we just assuming new manager = new coaches? Edited January 18, 2022 by bazka6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting or hoping they make an arse of it but I'm not building my hopes up that they will solve all or even partially. McCall was able to tempt good players to Ayr, we have struggled since he left, It could be where we train, or the money we offer but we have struggled to pick up decent players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 So that's us linked with a defender and knowingly after a midfielder but no sounds about a striker. We badly need one to replace Afalobi and who can be relied upon to step up when Adeloye has off days. Whats the name of that Burnley striker everyone was going mental over in the summer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
