YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I don't think Halliday is going to do btw. He's obviously only played in fits and starts and might be better after a full pre-season but it seems unlikely at his age. Hopefully we can get shot of him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A squad player at best, Kettlewell will make him useful but has contributed little to date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarrely he looked fine - perhaps due to low expectations - when he arrived having not played for ages. No doubt he's struggled since. I actually wonder if he's not fully fit since that injury kept him out but with Slattery and Paton knackered there's no one else. If that's the case I hope we're now letting him recover properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I think we should probably lose that PCA we have with Halliday. I don't think he's particularly bad, but I feel the money would be better spent elsewhere. The only advantage that I could see with him is to add veteran presence for the weans, and cover us if we extend Slattery We should also tell Blackburn that Gent was in the same box as hallidays PCA that we lost, and the fact that he looks like our now signing, Jorge Jent, is just a coincidence. I think people shit talking Spittal are telling themselves stories. He still works his ass off, and stuff just wasn't coming off for him today. He should still be our poty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 All in all, weird season, ended up roughly where we're meant to be, somehow. Scored a million goals, scored some belters, conceded nothing but horrors. Scottish cup a disaster, league cup a disappointment. Still quite like this team? Also can we stop hooking Davor as a standard option, we go to pieces every fucking time. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting the same feeling about Davor tbh. His passes always seem awkward for the receiver or get blocked. He’s not good enough on the ball. His off the ball stuff is good though obviously. Has anyone worked out how many home games etc we’re due post split yet? Edited April 13 by Gianfranco 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with keeping "out of possession Davor" on for the full 95, but subbing "Davor with the ball" as early as possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camer0n_mcd Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Should be Livi/St J at Fir Park then Hibs, Aberdeen and Ross County away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could lose to Rangers tomorrow, we could win our next one, and they could still overhaul us. I'm not losing any sleep over that possibility. Not yet, anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to be right up beside Bair with Spittal in the 10 role behind them. We are taking any Vale goal scoring threat right out the team essentially playing as a second right back. I mean Vale would have buried that Shaw chance that’s for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help but think that we'd score a few more if Vale was in the box and running on to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 A guy behind me hit out with "too late, Stuart" when Miller went off for Shaw which I imagine is a fairly niche opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, given Kettlewell spoke about us being understaffed way back when he got the gig (and we haven't really added to that since) Halliday feels like an absolute stick on to get added to the coaching staff alongside Foster etc while we keep him around as a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a coach at Broomhill isnt he? Fairly sure hes also one of the (many) footballers who has a "pro academy" on the go too, which I believe requires badges of a certain level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 In summer my view for the season was survive comfortably, even if in 10th, gut the squad, pay the credit card (several managers and January 2023) and start again from even in 24/25. We'll get that so box ticked, no complaints. Where the frustration comes in is with Aberdeen and Hibs imploding, there are two utter shiters in the top six and one will get Europe. Had we shot ourselves in the foot just a little less we'd have been right in that mix. But c'est la vie. For all our improvements and 'likeable' aspects, we're clearly limited as anything. Davor has just been discussed while Bair is only marginally better than when we signed him in situations where he can't run in behind. There's then the defence. And goalkeeper. And the manager. Who has some major pluses but is the equivalent of a raw teenage player - you can see why he might make it and equally why he might not. Nonetheless, starting from zero is a much stronger position for 24/25 than our last two seasons. We finally have a CEO and we're finally sorting the strategic direction. As always, there are weaknesses and threats on the horizon but for the first time in over two years the strengths and opportunities are probably greater...it's time to be cautiously optimistic imho. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
