A centre back with experience and physicality would be my choice. According to a recent IM interview, we have until the end of February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma Power Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Given some of the dire forecasts that were in the press a few weeks back, I'll also be quite happy if we close this January window without any of our regular first-team players leaving on the last day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that too. Get out of it with our skin and badly tattered reputation intact. See if we can't get through to the end of the season as a championship club, hold on to those put of contract we want to keep and see if this new investment materialises. Would count as success in my book. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 22 hours ago, Scottydog said: Nail on head! Nolan has little to no composure, when he receives a pass I don't know who is the most worried, him or us in the stands. True he does win some headers but is generally too lightweight in the challenge and is easily manoeuvred off the ball, he lacks the physical attributes and often resorts to a one or two handed shove on an opponent. He's extremely one footed too, seems the left foot is only for standing on as he clearly doesn't trust it with the ball. At least twice on Saturday he ran around the ball rather than use his weaker foot. If we aren't bringing in another CH I'd rather we deployed Dick alongside Lang and used Ngwenya at LB, not that I'm a huge fan of the Aberdeen loanee either. That’s a weirdly strong set of opinions to hold on a player who has been by and large absolutely fine every time I’ve seen him. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect with Nolan, the issue is the strongest impression folk have of him is the first one. Since then he's been mostly fine. Competent without being dominant. Hasn't shat the bed but you wouldn't look at the guy and say, he's indispensable (on quality terms, as one of only two specialist senior CBs he obviously is pretty much the 2nd name on the team sheet). If O'Riordan was still around we'd no doubt have a back line with Lang and O'Riordan in the centre. I dont think he's as one footed as Scotty Dog says, but he is a bit handsy in the challenge. He mostly gets away with it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I've seen many a poorer centre half than Nolan don the Rovers jersey. He's still relatively young too, I think there's the makings of a decent centre half there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostZapper Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 (edited) Club have just put out a statement that Fredreiksen has been released - mutual agreement. Maybe freeing up wages for a signing? Murray clearly didnt fancy him Edited January 31, 2023 by GhostZapper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Ultimately he was pish. Hopefully that frees up room for one more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Its the right thing to do imo. He's not shown enough to merit a starting spot and clearly wasn't doing enough in training to change that. It was worth an attempt, but it's better for both parties if he can try elsewhere. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scored the same amount as Kyle connell in open play but in fairness connell scored a couple of good goals on Saturday for EK, looked confident and composed compared to when he was with us , still young though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 That's the third striker in the last 9 months that we have punted before their contract is up. For the best. It is clear that his prospects here were very limited. I am a bit surprised we have managed to mutual consent him, as I can't imagine he will have many alternative offers in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbykdy Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This has to go down as an ultimately expensive fuckup by whoever scouted him, however I also get the impression Murray didn't like him much by the way he readily savaged him in public after Cove. If that is the case I hope it isn't just simply a case of that as if there is a player in there then it is Murray's duty to help him show it. Time will tell I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
