Excellent. Likes to get in the faces of the wider squad if you include partners. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 9 out, 9 in. Out: Aarons (loan cancelled), Moult (loan cancelled), Fox, Penney (end of loan), Johansen, Connelly (loan), Speirs (loan), Maguire (loan), Shields (loan) = 9 In: Blaney, Crankshaw (loan), Mandron (immediately injured), Danzaki, Aitchison, Furlong (loan), Obika (loan), Casey, Butcher = 9 Can't really argue that Hammell hasn't been backed like. Tbh, looking at that squad it should be an absolutely fine mid-table team. It's on Hammell and Kerr now. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloontang Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I seem to remember him absolutely going right through David Turnbull (as a Sellick player) and got a three match ban for it. When interviewed he refused to apologise and said he won't be changing his style. Deffo the type we need atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallus Numpty Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Ah, fitba'. This time yesterday all the chat is about going down with a whimper, one signing later we're all looking forward to the next game to see who gets lamped first. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Like others, I remember Butcher being a right dirty b*****d which is good. Now let's hope Sean Goss is never seen again the usuless p***k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Well Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Butcher by name and hopefully by nature. Chop them up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny arab Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 As long as you keep him away from the wags then Butcher will be a good signing. Will get stuck in in the middle of the park and bring some organisation and leadership in there and can also do a very capable job at centre half, exactly the type of player Utd are missing just now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I still have questions. Specifically about left back and centre back not to mention our continued reliance on Ricki fucking Lamie but there are bodies there at least. I'm still heavy sceptical about Hammell and especially Kerr as coaches but tbf, I didn't doubt that we were looking to address those areas my issue was that as of Tuesday night we'd failed to address them. I get that January's a tough window at the best of times and it's compounded by our situation and I imagine these deals would have been agreed in principle before the window closed but deals fall over - I'm sure many did for us while the window was open. It's maybe mitigating but that doesn't really help us when we're finishing a game on Wednesday night with 1 (ONE) fit senior CB on our books with the window having SLAMMED shut.

Richie Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 (edited) The tactics board Capt Oats displayed certainly shows a bit more balance. Goss may be technically good, but to me seems to need far to much time on the ball and is largely anonymous/ineffective in games. As people have said - A ghost. Slattery obv off form, but drops deep to get the ball and wins a fair amount of free kicks. Tries the killer ball alot, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, so hopefully Buthcer will help in that respect in terms ball recovery/retention. Danzaki looks to have decent movement and pace, so again players finding pockets in final 3rd something we've been crying out for.

RandomGuy. Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Casey Spoiler US 2nd tier apparently around Championship/Irish league level. I told this it was a step up from Bohemians. Think aerial figures decline, while possession stuff increases, due to the change in style between leagues. US league is a lot less direct than Ireland from what little I've seen. Kind of hard to know how he'll be. Irish league feels a better benchmark but its also from years ago. In other words, f**k knows. Butcher Spoiler Butcher a middling CM just having a poor season? Lower than you expect ground scores likely because he gives away a lot of fouls. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Just to check this from the close of the summer window: Ojala - Blaney in Aarons (loan cancelled) - Crankshaw in Moult (loan cancelled) - Mandron (immediately injured) in - Obika in Fox - N/A Penney (end of loan) - Furlong in Johansen - Casey in Connelly (loan) - N/A Speirs (loan) - N/A Maguire (loan) - Butcher in Shields (loan) - Danzaki in It really only leave Aitchison as an additional incoming that's not been like for like. Our first team squad (including 3 long term injured players plus Morris) comes in at 27 players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
