spot on Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Having read both candidates opening statements I’d have to say that Dorothy Wilson is well ahead at this stage Her statement is well written and precise and clear in what she wants to do and what she bring to the table where as Steven Grahams looks like a first year essay - I’m a Rovers fan and have been for ages, we should all do the same thing etc etc , not sure what he is bringing to the table 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 A crude and objective way of looking at it, perhaps, but if we were to offer Mcglynn a new deal today, the club would be proactively extending the contract of a manager who has overseen a run of 1 win in 13 games. Not saying its right or wrong, but I don't think that's something that will have happened very often.Conversely, we'd lose the man who took us on a 15 game unbeaten run and who had us second top on January 2nd. Make no bones about it, its been a horrendous period coupled with our worst bit of PR we could've ever done but I don't think it's disingenuous to suggest we could've had at least 3 wins out of that period (2 versus Caley and 1 vs QOTS at home) had our luck been a bit more kind. I've cooled on McGlynn a lot, but I think Arbroath show there's a lot to be gained from retaining what you've got rather than going on with a full rebuild. If he gets a new deal, the first order is business has to be getting Poplatnik on a pre-contract. When we had 11 players on the pitch on Saturday, he was running the show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question with Poplatnik is whether this is a recent up turn in form or if we just needed to play him consistently for a few games to start to see it. If it's the latter then that's a question McGlynn needs to answer. At the start of the season, him and Vaughan looked like a pretty complimentary partnership tbh, I wouldn't mind keeping him. We also somehow need to get Brad Spencer signed up again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Suspect Tumilty will be away and we'll only hold onto Spencer if his spell out has made him less conspicuous. If holding onto Poplatnik is an option we should take it - I'm slightly concerned about McGlynn's recent ability to pick a forward (and no, not talking about the obvious f**k up).... take Gozie Ugwu, a lot of us thought he'd shown "enough" and he's turned in a reasonable enough season for Morton. He likely wouldn't be a star performer every week but I definitely think he'd have been a positive addition to the squad this year. Instead, McGlynn went with a whole forward line re-build, when a bit more time making sure the midfield linkage/no 10 position was well taken care of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Musonda has just been called up to the Zambia squad. Leaves us awfy short at centre half if Berra isnt fit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Hahaha! f**k sake! That's quality for Frankie but deary me, it never just rains, eh? We'll almost certainly be without five of the players who started against Caley Thistle, not to mention the manager, and that was a team that was already injury hit! Unless there's a free agent found down the back of a sofa somewhere, we'll be starting the game with our only fit goalkeeper and our only four available senior defenders. We'll have an apprentice left back on the bench. Brilliant stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Oh my sides. Our season is like a fucking storyline in Striker. Right down to the badly rendered CGI. Farcical. Thompson will get injured and we'll end up chucking Dario in goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 We're also just assuming Dave McKay will be available. He didn't make the bench on Saturday and there were two empty slots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appeal the Bene decision (with zero chance of success) and phone in a bomb threat on the day of the appeal to try and keep him available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Might as well just stage a covid outbreak. No-one will question it. As it is we would only need a couple of players out with covid and we wouldn't have enough to play the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 McGlynn's hearing for his red card isn't until 14 April, so presumably he'll still be available for Saturday and for the Challenge Cup final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 We can assume McKay had the illness, and should be recovered for Saturday…should… Thats Tumilty/McKay/Mackie/Dick as the starting four across the back. The only reserve defender is Young, a LB. Bow’s condition is unknown, so who will be the backup keeper? Matthews and Stanton are emergency defenders since they often play DM, and perhaps Connolly as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
