Mulgrew doesn’t have the legs for midfield anymore.

But you wouldn’t expect a dedicated DM to have to cover huge amounts of ground.  Indeed it’s often a position where players with experienced players with good instincts but lacking fitness often play.

I see this Butcher/Fuchs thing a lot, and while I agree getting a CDM in the door would be no bad thing, we played a fair chunk of last season with neither of them available to us (Fuchs sold in January, Butcher either dropped, suspended or sent to Coventry)

Saw a stat towards the end of last season that we hadn't won a game without Butcher or Fuchs in the team all season.

He played DM against Hearts. Quite a few times last season too.

Dee fans barracking from the galleries knowing they're mid-table championship and they're generally only ever a couple years from another implosion is just my favourite thing about this clusterfuck.

Live for today you mad b*****ds 👍

ETA - Thank you

There lies a bigger problem.  If you bring in a new manager do you allow Watt and Mulgrew to remain at the club and just pretend it didn’t happen?  Neither player is as good as they appear to think they are.  Again though, it would take a fair bit of money to get them both out the door.

Exactly, this is determined by whether or not the rumours are true, you can't allow players to effectively police what they do on thr pitch or who the club employs. Most of the guys at our level will require jobs in thr real world when they retire and when they donthey are in for a hell of a shock! If they get away with it once, they'll do it again. As said all of this is if this is definitely true.

Mulgrew is decent, as is Watt, but you're correct that they, especially Watt, have a higher opinion of themselves tham those looking in do. In Watt's case you feel with more application he could be a fantastic player, rathen than an inconsistent very good player.

He gets caught on the ball, dithjers and holds into posession too much. He also started the game against Hearts at DM. It wasn't pretty.
