I’m not generally a pessimist about players we sign however I’m finding it very hard to get excited about the bunch we have signed up. Seems to be largely the same approach as we’ve taken over the past couple of years, being players that will “do a job” in League 1 i.e. were inconsistent in the Championship.
Going off what has been said above, I’d be surprised if McGuffie and Nesbit will be consistent performers for us and not just turn in 1 good game in 5, which we have had plenty of recently. Can probably add Telfer and to an extent Morrison to that bracket too, which leaves us with very little consistent creativity.
McKay and Hall at centre half isn’t particularly inspiring either. Hetherington is a good signing imo but not convinced by the rest. Obviously will give them a chance before I completely make my mind up however. And before anyone says it - obviously the signings we attract are a result of our current standing in the middle of League 1, but you would hope that wouldn’t mean we can’t push the boat out a bit and get in promising young players like McCann who have something to prove.

Kane O’Connor released by Brentford, any truth in him coming to us?

Is that the exact same team as Thursday? Ffs.

Any ITKs know of likely return dates for our injured players with the playoffs starting in under 2 weeks? I think if we roll out the following XI we’d genuinely have a shot of beating Cove and a championship side
Mutch
Hall - Durnan - Dixon
Neilson - Miller - Telfer - Kelly
Morrison
Keena - Sammon
Subs: Cantley, McClelland, Mercer, Gomis, Alston, Dowds, Fotheringham, Connolly, LavertyNo chance of 2 up top with Holt in charge.

How do the playoffs work in this league? Does 2nd play 2nd bottom in two legs and 3rd plays 4th in two legs then the winners of each play a one off final for promotion?
2nd bottom plays 4th over 2 legs, 2nd play 3rd over 2 legs, winners play over 2 legs

I feel so done with this team man.

It was Holt that was behind the 4-5-1 idea that we saw after the restart wasn’t it? So not surprised to see him start it up again.

Keena injured or just shite?

Why do I have an uncomfortable feeling that Holt's hands are all over this and a reason it has got even worse is the muddle between the three of them?
Totally agree, the thought of Holt being in the dugout gives me the absolute fear.

I’m actually up for a 3rd Cove goal to knock us off top. Can only laugh at this point.

Shockingly bad from M&M today. Set up with a ridiculous formation, didn’t change said formation until over an hour in when it was clear that it wasn’t working from about 5 minutes in, mental subs including taking off arguably our best player and to top it off sticking on Miller to presumably run around and kick people again. Inexcusable

Suppose the only positive we can take from this is that the cnut Griffiths didn’t score.

Get Francis, Sammon and Leitch off. Any time we come near to getting forward they lose it for us.

That was dreadful

My exact reaction. Why are they so opposed to trying Dowds and Keena together ffs?

Him and Dowds played well together in pre season and I don’t understand how we’ve not tried it from the start since Keena came back from injury
Aye, Keena looks crying out for a strike partner when playing alone, and Dowds was crying out for a different strike partner when playing alongside Sammon. Why have we not tried it yet?

I genuinely can't picture him on the field for us and I probably couldn't tell you who he was if i passed him in the street. A waste of a wage so its good to be rid of him. Astounded that he is moving up a level.
I’m not that surprised that he’s went up a level when you look at some of our rejects that play in a league above us. Just goes to show the poor standard of the Championship.

Looks like Todd is away to join Hopkin
Now confirmed. A bit of a surprise but not a disappointment.

Can’t help but laugh at that.

We planning to do anything other than try and punt it up the park and not even pass the first third?

Really hoping McClelland isn’t squad number 72 because of the Ranjurz. If so get that tae fk.

Think the difference is fitness levels already seems to be showing. Keena looking lively so far
