    Murray had the same situation initially at Airdrie, when Stuart Millar came in as DOF, Millar was in charge of signings when we got Thomas Robert, Harlain Mbayo and Eoighan Stokes(sic). It wasn't really working and you could tell either Murray wasn't trusted or frustrated wannabe DOF, when Millar went, Murray went from strength to strength and got us to the playoffs final, maybe it is just coincidence though..

    Good post, a lot of square pegs and round holes, I did take a bit of heart when Mochrie and Reid came on, didn't turn the game but showed we can play on the front foot and give a couple of defenders something to do, Gallagher who we tipped to go on loan is now the beating heart of the team and dictating play, big issue I have a with the midfield is him quite rightly and Agyemang want to play deep, Agyemang is decent enough ( I think) But not as good as he thinks he is, we are playing one midfielder too many and it shows with lack of options and space, cannot see Rhys changing system for anybody though. Which could and is becoming an issue... Last week of the window and what do we still need, a wide player, a striker, ?? Next home game is Falkirk who will be wanting revenge big time, hopefully we have our act together then, 1500 there yesterday. Already the loyal Airdrie support are slightly on the wane.

    Any chance of posting this on the Airdrie thread as well......

    Pretty workmanlike performance today, deserved the 3 points against a toothless and every other phrase you can think of Airdrie.... Personally think you had a couple of extra gears if you needed them..

    And don't let any c**t put blockers in your way, everybody should be encouraging this.....

    Where do you start, you try and fix one glaring flaw on the squad and then more appear seemingly every week... The 2 goals were horrendous. McGrattan caught out, Graham slipping one nil, 2nd is even worse a poor cross to nobody somehow being parries into the path of Rudden, what was Johnston playing at, Wright to me is a better option.... The 2 newbies did ok, Graham looks very leggy and will get cruelly exposed in this league if he gets no full back cover, which he won't with the system Rhys is playing... Hancock is another player who to me has been playing through a knock.. Tough times just mix not right in midfield and the quality Wilson trying his best up top and could easily have had 2 goals today.. Any word on AWilson and McMaster who was really struggling with a leg brace on...

    He needs to play a system that fits his players at his disposal, If Rhys plays he dictates the tempo, nobody else can do it, Wilson is wasted in this team at present, Personally I would get Reid on, if you don't put on a 2 Nd striker at this stage, give the lad a chance ffs

    Same, Good informative read, looking forward to future issues.. PS. I hope ALL supporters get behind this, as all these publications take a helluva lot of time and effort to produce with no financial gain... Well done...

    Remember McMaster missed a chunk of preseason with a knee injury, since he came back to me he has struggled in most games, that's him out don't know if it's the same injury or not..

    Delighted to get the lad in, hopefully he can get registered on time, it looks him and Sam Graham will be our CB partnership for the foreseeable future who could have guessed that 2 weeks ago... The loan market must be so frustrating for managers it looks to have a bit of spinning plates about it, The lad Graham from Dundee was nearly a done deal going by many on here, that never happened and we picked up Luke, who we have been trying to get for a fortnight he says... Was Luke the loanee from down south that was touted about 3 weeks ago...... Also according to a Morton fan on the Raith thread, they thought they had Lewis Jamieson on a done deal on Tuesday, apparently ourselves and Raith were also interested,, he picked Raith....

    A lot of clubs still have plenty of loan slots available, we have 2, Loan window closes at end of Sept, We have a few squad issues that need addressed, and cannot see how we can fill them with the loan market, with us spunking 2 loans on Goalkeepers , Aiken and Terrell , you could argue and say the loan market which we normally excel in has been inconsistent at best so far... The lad Graham from Dundee is linked hopefully signs, if he does so, We have one left and surely that has to kept up our sleeve for any emergencies that may arise at end of sept...

    Possibly a day for Rhys to put his principals to one side, playing out from your goal line is HIGH RISK at best of times, with bodies short and a dip in confidence, play percentage football at the back, get Rudden offside and lef our playmakers play in their half, if we don't and give QP easy possession in our half, it could be a long afternoon again..
  13. Passionate
    Rock, You still confident of this loanee defender coming in, just noticed the injury list and it's not great, Aidan hasn't made it, surely we cannot go into an important league game with full backs covering CH again even with Graham playing..
  14. Passionate
    Confirmed on the OS , Wilson is out, along with McCabe and his dodgy calf, with McMaster, Watson, Reid and McGregor out also ... Not great, could really do with another defender in.. or I don't see why ATS cannot step up to the plate, they will only play Rudden up top anyway.
  15. Passionate
    Yes, will score plenty goals if you play him as a striker, if you play him right side, he will struggle and have a bit of an attitude, I would take him back in a minute.

    Potter and Cameron until end of the season
  17. Passionate
    Agree going forward he is excellent, tactically he has been pinned back the last 2 games due to personnel issues and us being a shambles, Wouldn't like to.see him go, but out of contract probably at end of season, that will keep all bids low unfortunately...

    100k and a snapped off hand
  19. Passionate
    Ok didn't realise that, you hear all sorts of rumours that most are BS.. If Hancock and McMaster could be away before the window shuts, would you play them in a crucial league game risking injury etc..putting potential lucrative sales in jeopardy.. McMaster has been off it all season anyway, maybe his head has been turned already..
  20. Passionate
    Let's be honest if we get 100k offer for Hancock we will take it gladly, let's not be daft, We have a replacement for Hancock the highly rated Cammy Bruce, who hasn't really impressed so far, although we have played him everywhere bar left back.. If McMaster goes we have cover in Aiken, Terrell and the man who should play every week IMO Rhys McCabe.... Interesting 10 days ahead,
  21. Passionate
    Thanks for update, where do you think Rhys sees Watson this season, I think he is still our best option at RB and gives us physicality and knows how to defend ... Can you see any departures that could weaken the team before window shuts..
  22. Passionate
    Do you rate Reid then on What you have seen so far... opinion.... I will be diplomatic and say Rhys realises he is short in forward areas and is looking to improve his options...... That statement means the same as my previous post does it not..... Reid signed for the club under a fanfare of praise from Rhys, but his stats and comments from previous loan clubs suggest otherwise, He may well turn out to be the new Jim LISTER, i very much doubt it though......
  23. Passionate
    It seems to me Rhys has already made up his mind on Reid, now he needs to source a better option, because it is obvious their was no back up plan for Todorov, Forward areas are woefully short and a fit McGregor is not the answer either....

    I am putting money on a Championship Royal Rumble with the winner getting Innes Cameron on loan from Killie....

    Rocky, You called the signing of Big Sam, unlucky that we couldn't register him in time, You heard anything about how long Aidan will be out, More players to come you reckon .
