Adarkwa on the latest S&W podcast said that he’d loved coming here, moving up here and being able to get away from it all and focussing on himself getting to the gym and doing extra sessions etc. Understand point in regards to other things and agree but I think it would just help to make the market of guys available to us much bigger. And aye Ford, Bakare, Corfe and Fosu total waste of time but Oakley, Adarkwa, El Mhanni and Banks especially it’s been worthwhile. There's no denying it allows us to access players we couldn't have previously but so far, the experiment has been a net negative, IMO. The way I see it, would we have been worse off (either on or off the pitch) if we used these resources to recruit other part-timers from the SPFL? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea on the last part though, being up in this league for 4 years now it’s hard to know what’s out there part time wise. Think there’ll definitely be guys out there as we have shown with Hetherington, Balde and Dow but it’s whether or not we are able to or in the position to go and get them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what Barry Sellars was brought in for. I think actually viewing players rather than a selectively edited youtube video from the Uzbeki league might reap better rewards. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was terrific on his debut against Dundee but has been average at best since then. He looked good in some early games, but a bit lightweight in others. I think the problem is that after Dick got a team that worked, the shape didnt really allow for Linn or el Mhanni, thus limiting his fame time. I'd have no problems wirh him being given a new deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did i really get to you, telling you there was dressing room unrest, and it appears to have been true I havent went quiet at all, ive posted about 15 times in my life. All i ever stated was that the signings at the start of the season (. Noubles mates ) were not good enough, most have since left. 4-5 folks who had signed new deals for this season, would ask to be released ( that happened ) And that the dressing room unrest was there, which has been evident given the shocking performances ( this happened ) Truth hurts eh If that makes me a roaster/poster, while you sit their with your funny old haircut, and high cholesterol wondering why our team has turned to shit, and are boasting now that we have clawed our way to 8th, id suggest you take a look in the mirror Please don't stay away so long in future, honestly everyone loves a conspiracy theorist, delusional, feckwit.

Hetherington is still full time at Falkirk. Balde was full time at Hibs before he came to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balde was full time at Hibs before he came to us. Good point. Suppose you completely forget the fact that full time players could also be interested in part time contracts. If Partick Thistle get promoted would hopefully have a chance of getting Dowds back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add komolafe and fosu to that, the latter seemed to get a contract because of 1 good strike v montrose in a friendly which is now obvious it was a total fluke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
