BB_Bino Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Sounds like Berwick are going through what we went through with Stuart McLaren, good luck lads but sadly, I suspect history may repeat itself and it’s only going to end 1 way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I see Aloulou being referred to as Tunisian, but he has caps for Scotland in Futsal? Would be the first Tunisian player for the club, surely. Surprised we're not seeing patter for loaning a futsal player rather than a traditional footballer.

Fergie1 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hopefully can bring the promise that got him a move to Alloa! I think as much as we have been leaking goals we are crying out for attacking options. Granted we are conceding goals at an alarming rate but when the relentless pressure our defence is under is scary hopefully better attacking options can reduce that constant threat.

Redcar Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 Still a chance in this window to get the defensive options in. I'm told the boss is working his socks off to try and make that happen. Maybe 2 or 3 to leave too if they want to play football between now and May. Still think Harvey is the right man for this job even if he has made a few early mistakes. Hope he can get the signings he needs and can get some confidence in the team. Big freeze this weekend might just help that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berwick-the-unbeatable Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Can you actually imagine releasing a player (who is your top scorer and only capable player on the ball) so he can join a divisional rival on a free, having (I'm pretty sure) paid money to get him, even after the club he's gone to today received a fee for one of their players. Disruptive or not, that is fucking hilariously shambolic. What the f**k are they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coogs Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 No new arrivals expected either. Lovely deadline day this. If they cling on this season in guessing it's start from scratch next year with a brand new side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcar Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Willis off to Peterhead, Murrell off to the nearest pub. Willis started the season well but has been crap and increasingly frustrated since coming back from injury. One of the highest paid in the squad, I think, and I'd be happy enough if we'd signed someone further back with that money. Seems though that we will sign nobody and that is seriously piss poor. How we will fail to concede 100 goals is not immediately obvious. On the other hand, I'd have paid Murrell's bus fare to pretty well anywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Potato Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Loan deals can still be done next month. Willis had the heart the size of a pea and was nearly sacked earlier in the season. Good when it suits him but not one we need right now. Lewy Barr a much better player and Knox can play that role. He’ll get a few splinters sitting on the bench at Peterhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DutchBorderer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Think I would have liked seeing George Newell come to Shielfield, but hopefully Aloulou can come up in a big way. Wish Murrell the best, had a relatively long stay at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 http://berwickrangers.com/managers-statement/ Quote We made attractive offers to two experienced defenders who chose to join League One Clubs. I am not panicked by not bringing in another defender because I have faith in who we have at the club. I appreciate the statement as a whole, but it's a bit odd to say there's no panick in terms of defence when two substantial offers were made for defenders. Regardless, I back the manager, the squad, and the club. That, coincidentally, is also about the only thing we can do as fans right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much what it boils down. Well-intended I'm sure, but that statement has done absolutely nothing to relieve me of my concerns (I won't go into the reasons for the sake of preventing this post from becoming a definition of hypocrisy) nor the opinion that last night we made the latest in a seemingly never-ending series of blindingly obvious blunders. Nevertheless, we're stuck with what we've got perhaps plus the 1-2 more we'll likely bring in during this month. Moaning isn't gonna change it so we may as well cross our fingers and hope that between Willo swording Albion and Phillips banging in 15 own goals, we'll finish above em.

Somehow NO i don't appreciate their is no panic JH reckon defence is no reason to panic ?? we are shipping goals like its going out of fashion Happy with midfield ?? How can you when they are virtually non existent Answer Strikers chuck a load of them on the park and hopefully we'll score more than we ship !! That's quite an ask The beginning of the season, I laid out the Berwick season. First few games crap, manager sacked/resigned delete as appropriate, new manager comes in players get worse.... fear ye not winter transfer window we'll get that undiscovered star. but don't worry he hasn't had his chance to get the team he wants. into spring the club is clinging on to league status by the skin of their teeth. crossing in May usual safe last game in April !! Again fear ye not..... Manager gets rid of dead wood, and gets the players he wants. for cup games, get tanked out of the cups! Start at the top and read again. There will come a time when it'll be 10th and bye bye league. So far we've been lucky but for how much longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crafty Dafty Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Harvey is out of his depth and it’s all about him and his fat ego!! The players at his last club were delighted when he left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
