grumswall Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well, a 3rd place finish in the Championship after coming up from League 1. Best finish for 10 years. Not to be sniffed at.Played some fantastic football on the way as well. Successful first season back in the championship regardless of what happens now.If we go up fantastic, if not still a good season. What will be interesting is how do we replace certain players depending on where we end up.Still 6 games to go hopefully so let's not be too negative tonight. A poor week doesn't take away from a good season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Also, McGlynn knows. He’s signed Berra (aye, I know, but that St Johnstone boy, Anderson was supposedly done too) and the boy from Clyde. He must think they’re the answer. One more? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already got McKay and Benedictus playing there too. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Davo gets an extension too for no obvious reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me either but Shirley even McGlynn is getting pissed off with all the red cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay, Bene, Berra and Lang for next year, launch Davo and find a new young CB to develop, someone like Musonda...ideally, exactly like Musonda, as in re-sign him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Is there any team, maybe apart from Hamilton Accies that gets a worse deal from referees than we do? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have McKay, Bene, Berra, Lang and Musonda, I don't see a spot for him. If Frankie leaves, Mendy would be a possible fifth CB, but I'd like to have seen him played more this spring to see if it's rust or pure lack of ability. He's cetainly capable at League One or Two level, and probably in the lower half of the Championship, but thats no longer our goal. Now, if we talk about converting Nando from CB, I'm all ears and willing to listen...but his day is probably done here. If Kelty make League Two, hes a stick-on for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing against the lad, he took a leap of faith (as did John) but it was obvious from the start that it wasn't to be. To give the guy a two year contract has to be put down as a blunder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the contract was a failure. But without those reaches, we don’t get Musonda, Duku and Ugwu...and, let’s face it, those paid off. A question, would JMcG have perhaps offered Musonda two years if Mendy hadn’t flopped so badly? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, and that’s potentially hurt us even more, unfortunately. I suspect, at the level we wish to achieve, you have to reach and risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 Don’t buy that Mendy is definitely good enough for league 1, or even league 2 to be honest. Not sure what that’s based on. He had 6 months playing for a marauding Kelty side who barely did a lick of defending and has spent every waking minute on the pitch for us looking woefully out of his depth. It’s just something you’ve made up in your head, Tx. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duku and Ugwu haven't been abject failures, and the 8 league goals between them are welcome but I would take issue with the idea they "paid off" Really, only Musonda has looked the part of the guys we brought up from England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Yeah, I can see why Duku and Ugwu gave been jobbing around the English non leagues to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Well folks, 3rd in the league after promotion, and playing the sexiest football in the league - it’s been a great season regardless of what’s on the horizon in the weeks to come. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 The trouble with Mendy, as far as I can make out is his inability to read a game. He'd be a decent enough defender if he had some positional sense but alas it's been shown to be lacking too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typicalrovers Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Getting pumped out the playoffs by the Pars would take the edge off a good season for me.Messiah or not I am not looking forward to him tinkering with a winning team for the bigger games and making an arse of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
