Andriy_Parmolenko Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I feel for any manager at our level struggling to get folk signing. It’s clearly been a massive problem for a lot of Scottish teams in this window, not just us. I somehow doubt that if we’d had someone else at the reigns our window would have been any better. I’m still hopeful we can get 2 or 3 names to paper at least before the window ends but to an extent we’ll just have to wait our turn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I comically detest Joe Chalmers, let's not go too far; Pybus was kinda shite too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be totally honest, if Dan Pybus was still here he wouldn't be challenging Chris Hamilton for the DM position. Will never fault DP's effort but he wasn't a great footballer, he won POTY as he became a bit of a cult hero with the YT because his name had the word bus in it and there wasn't another person who had done anything of note. Now would I sooner have Pybus as part of the squad than Chalmers? Probably. That being said, neither had the full package. Pybus didn't have much technical ability, whereas Chalmers is okay on the ball, just a bit of a sh*tebag about it. Chalmers doesn't have the effort and fight, whereas Pybus would at least try and get stuck in and run around. Maybe we could melt them down and create a decent all round midfielder, Dan Chalmers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he hasn't found a new club yet should tell you all you need to know, especially considering some of the utter shite getting offered deals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Scored a great goal at Palmerston. sadly, it was the only game that Chalmers and Dorrans also looked decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Thought Thomas won POTY? Pybus got the coaches' player of the year. Wouldn't take him back, although would prefer him over Chalmers. Hope Chalmers is seething about being called pish and in response bangs in a couple of screamers on Saturday after putting in a magical MOTM performance where he runs the game and had Alloa players bemused, and that he furiously runs towards the NW giving it the 'shhhhh!' after each goal. Would also accept the 'hand cupping ears' gesture as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 [emoji23] This is preposterous but also 100% true. The fact he hasn't found a new club yet should tell you all you need to know, especially considering some of the utter shite getting offered deals.Because he is indeed shite. And when folk look by the 'running around a lot' and look at what he actually brings to the side, it's very little. I wonder if he'll badmouth you when he gets a new club as well [emoji57] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I liked pybus, but he was helped by the fact he has some fight in him when large parts of our squad didn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBadgers Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 As much as i dont rate Chalmers, Polworth's inability to complete a single pass made him stand out to me as my least favourite at the tale end of last season. So i can at least put one person below Chalmers..Pybus better than both, but he wasnt as good as ...... McCabe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbychops Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Pybus wasn't shite. He was good at nicking the ball off folk and keeping it simple. Not a flair player but a decent defensive midfielder. I would kept him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Pybus was incredibly average. Didn't really add anything. Nothing terrible, but nothing good. Just..there. He's no miss (except when certain other midfielders have to play...). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
