Mr.Blue Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 21 minutes ago, Ferguson said: Imrie's whole recruitment strategy since coming in has been to sign players who've got talent there but have lost their way a bit, Muirhead, Crawford, Quitongo etc. were all shot of confidence and out of options when they came in and would now get into most teams in the league. That's just the way we have to operate with our budget constraints. I can accept that we're always going to end up with a few duds shopping in that market but Imrie really has to try something else, Power and Gillespie aren't up to it and we seen in the second half on Saturday that we have the players available to leave them out now. Boyd and Bearne are 2 that I'd like to see us persist with also, both have shown flashes of being capable of playing their part but have some work to do before they're up to scratch. Disagree with your point re Gillespie. He's still got something to add to the team. When he's on it no one else in the squad can get the ball down and make us play the way he does. He needs an energetic and mobile midfield partner in there and Power isn't that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, but since his injury last season how often has he been on it? For me he gives the ball away far too much and every week midfielders are ghosting by him, Reece Lyon didn't have much of a job getting the better of him on more than one occasion on Saturday, which is a worry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an excellent assist on the first game of the season against Ayr. Has been poor since. Still has contributed more from that alone than the other summer signing ringers combined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Harkness out long term and likely to go back to Rangers without playing a game. The most sensible choice here would be to persist with Baird and French as a centre back partnership who've made us much more solid and make do with Wilson at right back until O'Connor is fit again, but I fear this means we're going to see Broadfoot in the team again every week with French going to right back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I would agree about Gillespie, but he's certainly not up to speed at the moment. The goal we conceded on Saturday is a good example of that (his booking not long after a similar late challenge is another) - both he and Power were painfully off the pace. They would be a cracking midfield pair if they were properly match fit for this level, but neither seem to be right now. I don't think the issue with Gillespie is going to be solved as easily as changing who he's in midfield with - he's had injury issues this season just isn't looking like the player we know he can be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paisley Ton Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Well having considered the weather situation the SPL have called Saturdays game off. Fair play. Sadly they will probably rearrange for a Champions League Tuesday/Wednesday night so fecking up our attendance expectations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy boo Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I've not been this far down on the forum for a couple of years and not been following your results and certainly haven't missed the usual suspect posters.
