I’d say that would be more of a sacking offence than sensible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown twice this season that he he's adept at sending teams on a downward trajectory, and hopeless at setting up a defence. He absolutely would have had butcher in midfield and Lamie in a back four. Yep- His record at St Mirren was completely average. Aberdeen, average then shambolic. Dundee United, shambolic. I honestly think the only reason he’s landed decent jobs is because he has a nice beard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in Motherwell Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I occasionally see him on the school run, he is particularly well groomed. I mean, it's *a* positive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I'm actually getting the fear retrospectively about Goodwin being offered our job when we were in the grubber after the Raith game. His patter recently, bemoaning the shite goals Utd were losing as if it was someone else's fault/responsibility and clearly unable to make it better was a carbon copy of what Hammell was saying in December/January. Our long stay in the league is a result of some luck and circumstances of course but mostly about making good decisions to undo mistakes/fix things when they inevitably get broken - and this season is a perfect example. If we had appointed Goodwin I'm as sure as I can be that we'd at best be where County are now (as I think Utd were in trouble regardless and it would have been a toss up between the two of us for bottom spot). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise Holloway. He seems to have previous with Van Veen and can just see the scenario where he comes in, they have a fall out, and the outrageous run Kev went on never happens. Butterfly effect stuff but shows how knife edge our season was considering both him and Goodwin seemed to be considered at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 There’s the bold Riku giving his POTY award in English in the wee video. Puts to bed any notion of Stevie Hammell conducting the numerous zoom calls and whatsapp conversations in fluent Japanese. I really want him to be good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RostokMcSpoons Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Just watched the player vote video too. Props to KVV for giving his vote to Calum Butcher and underlining the big change he's made to our defence Props also to the couple who didn't vote for KVV, they must have balanced the chuckle factor with the idea the big mad Dutch bloke will be after them, and been particularly brave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly been glued to the BBC website giving Sean Goss 10 out of 10's because of his ability to cover every blade of grass 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only one freed so far I'd be remotely eager to take is Omeonga from Livingston and even then I'm not convinced I'm not massively overestimating him by mistake. There's no doubt a handful of others who could do a job as squad players but we seem well stocked in that regard already... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
