It is hard to know who’s signings are who though. Gary Holts claim of having 3 targets for each position may have been true but as we were never going to be privileged to see the list then we have no idea of whether they were any good or achievable. Wilson may have been the best of a bad bunch. Still didn’t mean we should have signed him though. That’s one thing I worry about Sheerin though is that he was chosen because he will toe the party line. I remember in his first Falkirk TV interview that he seemed keen to mention the term ‘sleeping giant’ a couple of times and then that also became the headline in his interview with the Falkirk Herald. Found it odd at the time but turns out that’s the name of the Rawlins company so feel he might be getting played from the back a little by our masters of PR. Think the sleeping giant has unfortunately slipped in to a coma though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not “no consequences” football, and while Sheerin hardly needs to be told that, I think he is having serious issues in moving on from what he knows into managing/coaching a real life league side. Nothing wrong in a passing game as long as it has an end result. For that style of play to work you require movement and players comfortable in whatever position they find themselves on the park. We just do not have the players to do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Are we now suggesting we should ditch the passing game and resort back to hoofing it up the park? As good news re Morrison as could be expected I think. Hopefully December means the start of Dec and not by 31st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if Grainger is interim head coach by Christmas tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have always been in favour of the passing game in particular the 'Pass and Move Style' We require an end product as what we have at present is passing the ball about if front of the opposition who are happy to sit back and watch the pointlessness of it. Teams got to make runs into space for a pass, one two's, wall passes into the the last 3rd and get a shot on goal. That ain't happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is suggesting we ditch a passing game but as we seen with Yogi the passing is pretty on the eye but having 100+ passes in your own half = the square root of fuk all There is nothing wrong with mixing it up at times, see Kevin James v celtic and the rewards. We are simply on a hiding to nothing with two sitting mids as we were under Elvis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The passing game is very difficult to get success with against teams who flood the midfield and sit in though. In those cases you need to have more of a threat out wide to stretch them and open them up. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That time frame of back in December could mean he had a meniscal tear (torn cartilage in knee). Trim away torn cartilage and back playing 2-3 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was accounts for 19/20 so we reduced our losses from 800k to 300k before the £500k grant and the sale of Daniel MacKay. We will also get more cash for Ryan Christie leaving Celtic and merchandise sales have increased too. I may be wrong but I believe all Championship clubs got the £500k grant after they returned their 19/20 accounts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I believe all Championship clubs got the £500k grant after they returned their 19/20 accounts. It was but its extraordinarily late to be producing accounts for the year to May 2020. Those should have been lodged at Companies House by end of Feb 21 in normal circumstances and even with a Covid extension by end of May. It's now September! Still good progress for ICT which is before all those income sources you mention. That said, it's still a £300k loss and it's a bit like saying it's better to lose 3-2 than 7-0. It is but you still lose. I'm sure Inverness will show a profit for 20/21 but it will be interesting to see how much. The Christie sale won't show until 21/22. MacKay probably won't either as the actual sale will have been in June. The £500k will have been eaten into with testing and playing games with no crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
