Was there not a bit of chat about a League One club down south (maybe Crewe?) being after Lamie last year when he wasn’t performing anywhere near the level he’s been at in the last 6 months? Also wouldn’t be overly surprised to see Lamie (and Donnelly) rock up at St Mirren, especially with McCarthy knocking back a contract extension there today. Given Lamie's form playing for Robinson after he signed and Robinson's quotes about players he'd signed in that window just before he resigned it'd be a surprise if he was interested IMO. I could be wrong though (obvs). Edited May 17, 2022 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m forgetting how bad Lamie was under Robbo, and Robbo’s admission he’d mad an arse of that window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To cut up the pitch carefully, ready for distribution would have taken too long and bolloxed up the very tight timescale they are dealing with. So they thought of it, and threw the idea out as unworkable in reality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Also who gives a f**k it's grass. Who cares whether big Sol is any good btw, he's a big ride as are all the people on his Instagram so keep him for ten years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does kind of feel like a natural time to part ways, but if he does hang around I’d prefer to see him in that centre back role and absolutely nowhere near the midfield. He’s too slow on the ball to play in the middle of the park but performed pretty well against Hearts and County in the back 3. If he stays, and GA does fancy him as a CB, we’d be pretty stacked in a position I was hoping we could improve on during the summer, even more so if Lamie hangs around as well. If we want to consolidate our points tally and league position next season then the whole defence needs looked at. Only a few got pass marks and wafer thin passes at that. If Alexander retains Donnelly as part of a central midfield trio then I guess things are more dire for finding talent than we imagine and for me would reek of lack of ambition to better ourselves. Guys like Sol (while so so pretty), should be considered late shoring up subs and injury cover based on what we've seen. SOD needs a back 5 to get anything near an average score and while Bevis has improved he still has a bomb scare or two in his locker. Happy for Lamiesque redemption arcs but they are by no means guaranteed. There is a reason we shipped 61 goals last year. Every bit of our defence needs an injection of quality. None of us want to be spitting blood for being papped out of the ECL earlier than we should have, especially when it's so financially valuable. Whither McMahon and Flao see legs in shelling out £9k a week (£350k + £100k saving for O'Hara I suspect) on 3 quality defenders to get another £350k UEFA round in the bag I dunno. I suppose you also get their services for the long league and 2x cup campaigns. Winning two rounds against Northern Irish part timers earn you as much as a Hampden Cup final, £1m. I get salary does not always equate to quality (Hibs + Aberdeen) but at least we'd be looking in a more desirable pool with the benchmark you would expect as a higher level. There has to be some benefit back to the general level of the team from our league finish, Euro qualification and expected prize money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I would bin Donnelly but I wouldn't be gutted if he stays. He's clearly ok and versatile but he's equally clearly a fitness liability and, I suspect, not cheap given we renewed him in his one-off purple patch. So all things being equal I'd roll the dice. Defence wise I'd be discretely inquiring with Ojala if he fancies a deal to return to Finland/the glue factory. I think SSJ showed enough to December to suggest he can do, Lamie and Mugabi also but they're all what I'd call the second CB. Play any of them beside a peak Ojala - or a Hartley, Aldred, Teale, Newman etc - leader of men type first pick and I think we'd have a solid centre. But pairing any two of the three together, while it might get you through a game, doesn't work for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in Motherwell Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Donnelly is basically the football equivalent of this gif. In fact, this could apply to quite a few of the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Kind of related to the impending SQUAD UPDATE. I posted this the other week but here it is now the season's finished. The squad ordered by minutes played. The signing of Liam Shaw was a strange one. Came with a good pedigree and I was impressed whenever I saw (admittedly a very limited sample size) but he played less than O'Connor and only slightly more than Robbie Crawford (who I'd just about managed to forget). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Donnelly reminds me of Carl McHugh a wee bit as he’s not really got an outstanding position. He’s alright at both defence and midfield. Good luck in India Liam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I'm for Donnelly joining the paneer connection, he'd enjoy battering folk in that league.I'm hoping we can sign an absolute tank to look after Slattery, he needs protected, people keep knocking him over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
