If we're needing another centre mid brought in then we're not going to get many better options than him who can come in and hit the ground running. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is good enough then why would having played for Ayr be a reason to avoid them? Plenty of players have come back to the club and done us a turn. I remember a few people being against Moffat and Geggan returning but look how they did. Unless Murdoch is injured I really don’t see a demand for another midfielder. I’d much rather spend the last of our budget on a defender but if Bullen thinks a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 is the way forward then so be it. If there’s anyone able to come in and score a handful of important goals then it would be him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do feel McInroy would be a good signing if it were to happen, I can't help but feel you're right with this. We desperately need a LB. I think we constantly look vulnerable on the left side of the defence (unless we're playing Cove), and teams seem to deliberately target high balls over the top on that side, because Reading gets caught under it every fucking time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say something nice about Paddy I think part of that tactic is because he actually leads (before the last round of fixtures at least) the league in interceptions. The other side is that if the ball goes over his head he is minging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick young Fraser up beside him in a 442 . I'd also g8ne Daire a run on the left . I don't have the prize money to hand but I doubt that there is a difference of £150,000 between going out in round 6 compared to round 5. £150,000 will be more likely the total compared to (guess) £75/80,000 in the last round. It's still good money but it's not as drastic as losing £150,000 entirely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The delta would get us a player or two for next season.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirepud Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Loan market open until end of February. Pump Elgin, get a good draw that brings in some decent cash then get some of it spent loaning in some competent defenders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With our style of play we're always going to concede goals, that's the trade off with scoring so many I'm afraid and in all fairness our defence has been pretty solid apart from the odd game, hence we're still 2nd in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ability doesn't come into it, he isn’t actually needed. We've got an abundance of midfielders. Even if Murdoch were injured (hopefully speculation), is he the right replacement? I'm not convinced. It's also not comparable to Moffat or Geggan at all. There was a need for both of them as we were building the 2017/18 squad in the summer and had just gone full time. I can't imagine any fan questioned bringing in either of them in at the time. Both having won League One and playing Championship football. If they did they had taken leave of their senses. No signing is a sure thing but that double signing of Moffat & Geggan was as close to a no brainer as you could get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't' include any gate money earned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 If Murdoch is injured for longer then I think McInroy is the perfect replacement. He can cover the deeper role, while still providing a goal threat but can also play the more attacking role while interchanging with Dempsey of McAvoy is unavailable. If everyone is fit he could fill in at left back - I have no idea how he performs there but surely can’t be any worse than Paddy… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No signing is a sure thing but that double signing of Moffat & Geggan was as close to a no brainer as you could get. But if he wasn’t any good in his last spell then he wouldn’t be linked either. It’s a convenient move to make for a couple of reasons. Bullen sees a need for another midfielder now. There’s maybe a potential there to negotiate his release from Kilmarnock and get him next season. If we needed a midfielder and he hadn’t played for us last season I still think we’d be trying to sign him. Maybe we’ll just sign him to play left back anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
