Marshmallo Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Plenty goals in Ireland and hasn't looked up to scratch in the top flight, but should be fine for the league we're in. Happy with this one but still feel we need width as a priority. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) ....but we have McManus as a foil to Sammon. We have Johnstone signed too. There are other glaring deficiencies in the squad that haven’t been addressed (again). DKD might have been enough to save McKinnon’s job. I am not sure this signing will. It kind of just makes McKinnon’s blind spot look all the more glaring. He has now painted himself into a very tight corner.

It kind of just makes McKinnon’s blind spot look all the more glaring. He has now painted himself into a very tight corner. Exactly my thoughts. He doesn't seem to realize that the build up play needs to be better to feed the strikers we have. Signing another striker won't all of a sudden help us create chances. McKinnon is a fucking diddy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 What sort of whelm should I be feeling right now? Over or under? So should we run?Mainly a link up striker, good with both feet and decent finisher. I'd expect a few goals from him with games in the championship never mind league one. Desperately needs time playing though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 We could sign ten strikers but it means feck all if u dont create any bloody chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I wouldn't be shocked if we see McManus pushed out wide now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 35 minutes ago, Widge said: Suspect he’ll score goals at that level to be honest. He’s not quick, he’s not great technically and he won’t do a lot of running. However he’s scored goals in the Champions League and Europa League group stages and seems to generally be a poacher with a knack of being in the right place. Unfortunately he never was with saints, but then we could never afford to carry two strikers one of which didn’t do a lot of running. Play him next to Connor Sammon and he’ll be decent id say. 22 minutes ago, nelsjfc said: Mainly a link up striker, good with both feet and decent finisher.

How is he with floaty crosses lobbed in from just inside the opposition's half? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottiBiabi Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This all but confirms Johnstone is a perma crock, stupid signing. Nowhere near up to standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Could do much worse than recently released Andy Stirling if you're needing width. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toon Saintee Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) MacMillan is short of the quality needed to play in the top league but is not a bad player at all and he certainly has an eye for goal...I reckon he could be a very good signing for you Edited September 4, 2019 by Lang Toon Saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDust Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 For a 30yr old, McMillan hasnt played a lot of football, There is a Dundalk have a vid with him as goal machine, 47 league starts and 51 goals is impressive but over 4 yr isn't Perhaps Ray has been reading here and seen someone posted that he could play 3-2-5 and we will still be clueless up top !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Cheers lads, we've been trying to punt him for the best part of a year. Strange player. Isnt quick, isnt strong, doesnt win headers, doesnt pass the ball particularly well, doesnt hit shots with much power, but doesnt place them well either. Hes just sort of there and sometimes happens to get on the end of something to knock it in. Best of luck to him, as he seems nice enough, but I suspect you'll be his last full time club before he returns to the Irish pub league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 This reeks of another guy who sees no game time. And of he does, Johnstone won't. One of them is an utterly pointless signing..... But which? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestfieldBairn Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Rather we signed Armstrong or DKD than DMcM. Don’t think it’s been our strikers that’s been the problem, more that we can’t get the ball to them as often as I’d like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champions Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 McKinnon is fucking clueless and so much for the "johnstone will be a fantastic player for us" chat. I've nothing against mcmillan, but I really dont see how he will fit into the team. To make a signing at this stage it should have been someone who will offer us something different to what we have, I just dont see this with McMillan. Armstrong, Stirling or DKD would have been far better imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The bottom line is this. DJ or this new guy won't score more than McManus or Sammon. That being the case, they won't get in the team. We know already those two will score if they get chances, so what exactly was the point in this unless Ray already knows DJ is not going to work out?Baffling stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
