CoveRangers1922 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Unprecedented times and January is always a hard time to strengthen, however, I think Cove haven't utilised the window as much as we could. I would rate us a C or D. We haven't lost anyone except Graham and Semple going back to their parent clubs. Neither set the heather alight. I thought there could be some interest in Mitch but thankful he says with us. Realistically it would take a high flying full time team for him to move, probably an SPL side or move down south. I'm convinced he could cut it in the SPL. He's certainly far superior to Bruce Anderson who went on loan to Hamilton. Likes of Ross County losing Ross Stewart, I wonder if they considered Mitch. Loan signings of Connor Smith and Cammy Logan. Not inspirational by any means. The former has some talent according to the Arbroath and Hearts fans. We needed a creative midfield akin to Declan Glass: is he it not sure but must be better than Semple and Seb Ross who haven't shone. The latter is a right back which we need but he isn't seasoned enough in my eyes. We really needed a proven centre back, a winger as Leighton McIntosh has been very poor and a striker. I thought we or another club would go for Kane Hester. Edited February 5, 2021 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we or another club would go for Kane Hester. Megginson's an interesting one - he doesn't seem bothered by the step up in divisions so could look to cut it at a higher level but where's the question. Clearly money talks but you wonder if he's carved out a piece for himself in the north and may be playing in the same division as ICT and potentially County fairly soon. Could be fairly easy to hold on to him but also a success every window you do. Believe Hester's on a deal until 2023 so might take a relative wedge to shift him. What a pairing that would be though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Given loans were about the only option for most if not alI now i'm not sure about ours. 3 kids, two who have featured in the first team for Dundee Utd. They should play but given the rough n tumble of league 1 and our management team's record for sticking with the tried n tested failures I wouldn't be so sure they will get enough game time. Flip side being we badly needed another decent striker, back up keeper and attacking midfielder which we might well have got had the season not stopped. Bit meh really I'm not sure we signed what we really needed but time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 We've ended up adding numbers largely. McCall has added the 3 players from the Lowland League players who bring experience but the manager alluded to them not playing week in week out. Added a striker in Maciver, no idea what he'll bring to the table. Not done much, certainly on a first team level. 17 year old right back from Rangers. Zero first team experience. Overall the return of Chris Erskine will be welcomed on an emotional level and I think he could have some impact at this level. Geggan and Bell bring experience and hopefully can be used to see out games or get players going from the off. Definitely a sub par window but that is largely down to the postponement of the league and targets going elsewhere. Talk of a player down south who may be available but not heard much since McCall mentioned it on Saturday. So we've added numbers just down to McCall to see if he can make sum greater than the individual parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
