There was high hopes for him a couple of years ago but looks like he's not going to cut it. Not shite but believe he may have had a bit of an attitude problem at Forfar that did not especially endear him to other players / management from what I heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wonder what goes through these laddies heids sometimes? I know playing for us isn't glamorous but it's an opportunity for him to go and show what he can do and get a great bit of experience, even if he wasn't playing in a great side. He only had to look at Jack MacKenzie for an example of what a loan spell can bring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes me think it's nonsense, we surely wouldn't be throwing money at somebody who is potentially looking at a lengthy ban? He's also signed a long term deal at Elgin so they'd be wanting some decent cash for him too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwh Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 These are two massive games coming up. 2 wins will probably have us sitting in the play offs but 2 losses and we could be cut adrift at the bottom. Huge 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them other than Hanratty and possibly Ferguson (depending on which club was right with the length in their announcement) were due to finish this month anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RateofKnots Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Cautiously optimistic that McKinnon might lead forfar to the giddy heights of 8th by the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gaffers post match interview confirming Darren Whyte has a hamstring tear, so need him. The rest can head back and I’d be happy for Hussain to leave too.

Fine to have around at League 2. He was good in midfield yesterday, that was some pass he made that put Armour in that was on the highlights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_titz Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 armour has looked a bit better under McKinnon too. Not great but a bit more about him. Aitken just isn’t the answer unfortunately hopefully Keatings can get a run in the team or a loan signing in the mould of Johnny Russell would do for a few month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon From Outta Toon Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Bit disappointed with Hanratty returning, he looked lively & showed potential in games. Didn’t get given enough chances in my opinion, he was limited minutes coming on from the bench. Ferguson probably a level too far for him, potential is there but just not good enough yet for league two. Can see him being released by Hearts at the end of the season. Dailly as well a bit disappointed he’s returned to St Johnstone, thought he’d been decent when he’d played & he’s the better of the options we have to cover Darren Whyte’s absence. Moreland the less said about him the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafc1885 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The only one I’d have kept is Dailly as he hasn’t looked too bad since McKinnon came in and was improving. I honestly can’t remember anything Moreland did on the pitch at all. Hanratty hasn’t been great but he got the Mark Gallagher treatment from Irvine which meant he’s been bench warming for most of the season. He did show flashes of what he could do but not enough. Ferguson hasn’t been great either, he looks like he can play better but only has one goal to show for it. Staying It does worry me that they haven’t yet mentioned Docherty as I hoped he would also be sent back to Edinburgh. I get that people think he would be useful but I don’t share that feeling. He’s been more of a cause of problems than solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Wasn't Moreland purely signed on loan as Nditi was suspended and Abed was injured leaving no RBs at the club? It was never envisioned he'd make a mark at Station Park. Ferguson, definitely not ready for L2, see if he can get some form back in the lowland league for Hearts B. As people have said, Hanratty was the best loan signing but clearly had attitude problems so understandable why the club would happily send him back. Bobby Dailly was okay, not amazing, but was helpful considering Whyte is out for the long-term (again! Poor guy can't get a consistent run of games). He reminds me of Sam Fisher. Never looked amazing at Forfar but will likely carve out a good career for himself. When we got Docherty on loan I was very disappointed, but his advantage is the fact he can play CB, LB, CM and probably RB. Making him a very useful player to sit on the bench and cover for injuries. If he returns to Edinburgh I won't be disappointed, nor will I be angry if his loan continues. In Ray's interview he hoped two more players will have joined before Saturday, I assume it'll be a CB and then probably an attacking midfielder, effectively a backup to Slater or a striker to replace Matty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used our interest as a bargaining chip to get an improved offer from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
