Yes he was absolutely terrible with us, I’m not arguing that. But he is still one of Fleetwood’s best players and has captained them before. That’s a better level than any other right back still playing we have had in the last few years (apart from Johnstone who I put as left back).
Out of players still playing, who would make it in the best eleven for players to have played for us? I’d go with:
Zander Clark
Shaun Rooney
Jason Kerr
Kevin Holt
Max Johnstone
Dom Thomas
David Norman Jr
Ian Wilson
Issiah Jones
Nicky Clark
Lyndon Dykes
That team would comfortably survive in the premiership surely.
Botterill, Brydon, Cochrane, Minmaugh, Gibson and Reilly (squad player).
Connelly has the ability to be a very good Championship player but he doesn’t seem to show it (also gets injured fairly frequently) and Houston would both be maybes for me. Bin the rest though.
I think Bartley will only have 2/3 games before he could be shown the door at this rate. Losing 7 out of 11 league games as a full time team in this league is beyond embarrassing. Maybe it’s time for McCall!
From Dumfries and was a Queens fan as a boy. Plus the fact he lives in the West End of Glasgow and we train in Hamilton, so possibly he could be interested. It’s a completely hypothetical situation because Bartley won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
I think I liked him more than most. Was class at bringing the ball out from the back and felt we got the best out of him with an aggressive centre half beside him (O’ Connor). I’d have still taken him back 100%
Hope to see a team of - Botterill, Houston, Ambrose, McLelland, Church, Cochrane, Minmaugh, Connelly, Gibson, McKechnie, Reilly.
Don’t want too see Todd, Logan or McKay after last weeks performance.
