That's got to count for something Yeah it will I suppose, look I want him to succeed, I thought he was a good choice but he is too laid back for me, I listened to the K107 show today and the guys where saying his first win of the season last year was after 5 games and he usually has a better second half of the season, he also changed 15 players at airdrie last season but it’s all very well saying players are coming but folk will only put up with that for so long we need action, being pessimistic I think there is no Raith tv interview today because he doesn’t want asked about it again, I would love nothing more than for us to win tomorrow so a few on here can say GIRUY to me, i just can’t see it thou Edited July 23, 2022 by Been going too long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 How is he a failure in the transfer market? We've brought in the league 1 player of the year, a league 1 captain who had been consistently linked with moves to other full time teams, a right back to replace Tumilty who we had no chance of keeping, and renewed Spencer's deal? The transfer market for this summer is rigid as f**k. As mentioned a few pages back, we've got all our high earners tied up at the moment (and one player who is apparently on a four figure sum who we never should have brought in). It's a question of finding who we can bring in to supplement things for now. Ideally, we'd have extra centre halves tied up under deals but is there's very few in the Scottish market who look decent. Even then Scott Brown has been absolutely fine at centre half. The one goal we've conceded from open play was one where he wasn't involved in the play (and even then, the referee was absolute dugmeat and ignored a bodycheck on Stanton). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has strengthened the one area we had a lot of players in and neglected the obvious holes we have so far, Scott brown is wasted at centre half for me, it’s just been a very frustrating window so far and we have 2 young lads on the bench who will be totally out there depth in the championship ( mahady and Masson) young very raw, coulson not sure tbh and 2 who look like can do something in games in Mitchell and arnott, that is far from ideal and it’s his job to address it and so far we have nothing , Berra/ gullan gets injured tomorrow and we are fecked for cove , yes we have 4 out injured but we aren’t going to have them for a while Edited July 23, 2022 by Been going too long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's brought in players for an area of the team we didn't really need. One of Brown or Easton would be more than sufficient. I've said it before but I seriously doubt Easton is good enough for the championship. He'll be a regular but only because he's Murray's favourite. Meanwhile, he's failed to address the key weakness areas in the squad. I would say that unless he can turn things around miraculously in the next week, that's failure. I don't see how anyone can use the example of signing Millen in Murray's favour. The guy is hopeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t always do one when there is a midweek game. Makes sense. Can't have you guys going down there today when you'll need to be back tomorrow morning to cover the new signings before the bus leaves for Aberdeen... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn't signed Easton and Brown, the midfield would be Stanton and Arnott with no cover until September at the earliest. It might not have been the absolute weakest part of the team but I disagree that it didn't need addressed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got to count for something[emoji1]Without losing a single game as well [emoji849]However, people will still continue to wet the bed over the fact that we don’t have every single player through the door with over 5 weeks of the window to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope they are asked after we are beaten by a few tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beginning to think you’d hate to see us being successful in the top flight, as you’d have nothing to moan about tbh. How can anyone who’s seen Millen play in 3 competitive games recently in a defence who have conceded a grand total of 1 goal(in which he played no part in whatsoever) in over 270 minutes of competitive football and already have the opinion that he’s ‘hopeless’?It’s absolutely mind boggling. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s absolutely mind boggling. Let's see how he gets on tomorrow, and against any full time team for that matter. I think he'll be exposed defensively and he offers virtually nothing going forward. I was actually lucky enough to see us being successful in the top flight. It was great, even if it was all too shortlived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 If we don't sign Brown, we've got one centre half at the moment. If we don't sign Easton, we're severely limited in our creative side and we're scoring less against Peterhead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
