StuartA Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 The likes of McKenna, Shanley and Agyeman, even Ross, won’t be starters unless there’s injuries so I don’t feel the need to judge them too harshly based on limited minutes in pre-season. Remember last season when McGlynn furrowed some brows for mixing the team up a bit, famously at Edinburgh, telling us that he had to keep the squad engaged and fresh. Then when the injuries and suspensions did pile up, he was proven right, Mackie being the standout example. And that was with a squad more or less the same size as he has now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 1 hour ago, BPM said: Maybe he had to get shot of Allan because we had overspent? Hopefully Jamie Swinney’s Falkirk Daft podcast will clear up some of the issues. I’m not really sure how a manager can ‘overspend’ unless you know something we don’t. Surely he is given a budget by the board and it is then up to him how he spends it? I’d imagine any decision to go above the original budget (i.e to bring in another signing or offer a player more money) would need to be discussed and approved by the board. Surely it’s not just a case of McGlynn spending as he likes- it certainly doesn’t sound like that from his interviews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 29 minutes ago, Blame Me said: Former Championship POTY and top-scorer is about as marquee as we could get - so far. He was a part time player from Arbroath who was out of contract. I think “marquee signing” is a bit flowery. He’s a signing brought in to strengthen the group who hasn’t had much time to show us what he can do so far. That’s it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTFY C'mon, changing half the team at once was ridiculous, a gross error. Could have ruined our invincibles season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he says he has no more money to spend and gets rid of Allan it tells me he had to get shot to get back into line. It looks pretty obvious to me.

18BAIRN76 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 It’s still July and McKenna has had a collective 58 minutes of football across four substitute appearances. Absolutely wild to be forming opinions on him now. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBairn Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Think it’s worth noting the players were playing with confidence yesterday and looked to be enjoying it. They were trying flicks and backheels and looked to entertain the fans and put on a show. Great stuff. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can just about forgive McGlynn for Edinburgh City for brining Dylan Tait to the club, what a fantastic signing. How he couldn't force his way into a misfiring Hibs team is beyond me, the guy has it all. Get him on a McLean-esque 7 year deal and count the money when he eventually moves on. He is still only 22. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had it so good recently I think some of our supporters have seriously lost the plot.

Shodwall cat Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 2 hours ago, Russ said: Aye I don't think you can count Flynn as he was nowhere even close to the first team when he moved to Liverpool. First one that came to my mind was Tam McManus. 5 unremarkable sub appearances in the 06-07 season but was great for us in our first season down in the 10-11 season I'm sure he got around 8 goals in 16 games maybe? Mark twaddle was the opposite as was Blair Alston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be because we are playing so well that people are just looking for something to complain about. Judging McKenna so early on and against such a small amount of game time is wild imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenna will be used to a much different formation at Arbroath so will need time to learn how his new team mates perform. The rest of the team know exactly what to expect from their team mates and McKenna has the experience to adapt. Will be used a lot this season i think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
