I see that Morehomes were due to pay us £300,000 in April. Maybe the club should call up the security that was granted in their favour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he knows this. Would like to see it put to him. Edited May 19, 2023 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) We didn't take a single point when going behind in the second half of the season (8 games, 0 points). That's pretty damning. We need to find another way to play or a plan B. With our style of play, if we go behind, its essentially game over*. *I know we did come back a few times in the first half of the season, but that was before teams seemed to have sussed us out.

He'll do well there I’m not sure I’d be overly excited about that one personally. He’s been kicking about the West of Scotland league for about 3 or 4 seasons now and I’m not entirely sure how successful his last spell was in the SPFL. I always thought he was technically a very good player for us so he may well be a success but who knows. He never looked the fittest and I’m not sure his time with Darvel will have helped in that regard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 After the 2013/14 season, where we finished fifth in the Championship and played some sensational stuff, I fully expected Jordan Kirkpatrick to go on to become an established full-time player. He really was excellent that year, and is probably overlooked in favour of guys like Andy Graham, Paul McGinn, Chris Turner and Garry Fleming when we think back to that campaign. But he was one of our standout players. He kept Scott Agnew out the team for large periods, and that's something nobody else could manage. But after injury he never seemed to be able to recapture that form. In fact, other than a superb season at Alloa a few years later, his whole senior career has been a bit hit and miss. He didn't make any impact at St Mirren, didn't recapture his Alloa form from his first spell when he returned there and - iirc - was a big disappointment at Forfar. Add that to his two fairly underwhelming seasons with us in 14/15 and 15/16. There's no doubting he's technically a superb player. But I'm not sure I'd have been bashing his door down to get him back. Especially after a few years pissing about at a level well beneath him. Fair play to Gary Naysmith if he can get a tune out of him like Ian Murray and Jack Ross could. If he can do that then he'll have a hell of a player on his hands. But I'm not sure he'll manage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFCTTFM Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) I've been wondering who those 2 pre-contract signings are meant to be... has anyone even heard a rumour? I remember Sean Crighton getting mentioned not too long ago but nothing other than that. Edited May 19, 2023 by DFCTTFM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll do well there Yeah, if that's the kind of signings they are making I won't be too concerned about Stenny. He has bags of ability and technically very good but he kept ending up in the bottom 2 divisions throughout his career. Not sure if he just lost confidence, fitness/injuries being an issue or if his attitude wasn't the best. Possibly a combination of the three... But he just was nowhere near consistent enough and everywhere he went he started well and faltered away to nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can probably expect about half a dozen clubs across Leagues One and Two to be interested in him, most of which will be offering him more. Also, I believe Orsi is his cousin so maybe his decision could also be a factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine a team like Stirling, Alloa or Kelty would be a much more appealing option and the likes of Carlo and Kalvin will both probably be seeking out a team like that in the next few weeks. ETA: I wouldn't have been surprised if he had agreed to sign on the basis that we were playing in League 1 rather than League 2.

However he chased the money going do Darvel and now that projects gone tits up. he’s obviously not deemed ‘good enough’ for the Kennedy/ferry circus at EK so I don’t think we’ve missed one there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Taranbino Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I think he was playing amateur last season after being punted at Darvel. Big experienced centre half that knows the club well. Solid signing -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordyBrow Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I wonder how long it is until Faz uses the line “we were knocked out of the playoffs by the eventual winners” as if we didn’t capitulate in a horrifying fashion for the second time this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
