roverthemoon Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Decent appointment. Leaving aside the Hibs game which will be his first match, we've got Queens, Dumbarton, St Mirren, Ayr next. How we perform in those four games will define our season. Pick up 8+ points and we will be safe. Continue to struggle as we are and we'll be in for a nervy end to the season. Hopefully Hughes can get us moving again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 My Livi supporting mate (Hi Gareth) has just told me that Hughes and Bobby Barr don't get on. They had an on-pitch argument and he never played under him again. Hopefully they can both over look that cause Barr is an excellent player on his day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 20 minutes ago, Raithie said: To be fair there's a team in us somewhere. Just needs the right person to pick them back up and go from there. We've shown in the odd game here and there we can be decent if we want to be and I think on paper our team is not overly bad. If Hughes is appointed and keeps us up that's all we can ask for. I'd not be overly against him staying for next season if he can do well in the next couple of months. But yes survival is key. I'm intrigued to see how it all pans out. For all my criticisms of Hughes I can't argue with the job he did at Inverness. I do wish he was a bit more adaptable with his style of play however and I didn't like his continual fawning over most things Celtic (he talked about feeling immense pride at seeing Ryan Christie in a Celtic top) and some of the mince he comes out with is laughable but I don't bear him any (major) grudges so I'll be keeping an eye out for Rovers results to see if he can turn things around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that when Barr got punted to East Fife and then signed for Brechin? Edited February 10, 2017 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his Wiki page, that seems to be the case. Given that Barr is on a two year deal I really hope this isn't too much of an issue.

Beachbum Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I've criticised the board, and in particular Eric Drysdale, a lot recently but fair play to them over this appointment. We couldn't have hoped for anyone better to dig us out of this mess - in fact it could have been a whole lot worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Can't moan about that. Proven manager. First game against his old club as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 From our extended stay in the seaside league, which was purely for research purposes, McKinnon's Brechin team really stood out as a mob that was punching above its weight. I can't say Darren Young and his Albion team grabbed me in the same way. In the games at East End they defended ferociously, with midfielders really getting stuck in. No question about them being fit and organised. McKinnon's team had us chasing shadows. Good point about The Young : McKinnon comparison. Albion knocked us out of cup (one of our worst ever results given the upside in next round) but to be fair there was nothing about their tactics or style of play that led me to believe that Darren Young was destined for bigger things.Every man behind the ball , admittedly chasing every lost cause but no visible quality. We should have been good enough but weren't - credit to Young and Albion but I was pleased that we didn't go for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. I'm sure it was McKinnon he put it down to. Certainly he doesn't strike me as that kind of player now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Sandy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Can only be pleased with Hughes' appointment, a proven Manager and one who, I am sure, will get the best from what we have in players. Gaun yersel' Yogi !! Onwards and, hopefully, upwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Proud eh ma boaysh. I can only hope this is a disaster of Kenny Shiels levels rather than an uplifting Ian Murray esque appointment. It looks more like the latter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
