PauloPerth Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 16 minutes ago, Kyle said: I'd agree with this. The only concern for me is the cover in the wing back positions if Davidson does go with his 5-2-3 formation. It's at this point I wish Drey Wright was still around as I liked the look of him in that role - was always a willing running, was defence defensively and he always managed to pin the full backs in their own half. If only Richard Foster hadn't burned his bridges quite so spectacularly as he's probably the kind of player who'd be a decent back up on both sides. It'll be interesting to see who Davidson targets. He'll have watched a lot of English football so I would expect him to be more inclined than Wright would have been to use that market. I agree though - we need at least one winger and a midfielder. If the Jamie Reid rumour is true, another attacker might be on the cards too even if we don't get him. Completely agree about Drey, I was a bit more disappointed than most on here seemed to be that he didn't re-sign. I get the point about his lack of assists and goals, but his pace and energy were brilliant for a wide midfielder, or wing back as you say. He worked back well defensively too. It's as much the fact that it's a position we now have to fill with an unknown when we knew he would do a job. Still, his choice I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 That’s Middlesbrough officially hired Neil Warnock as manager. The dream is over. Pretty raging if I’m honest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract at Torquay has expired and he refused a new one, so presumably he's no longer eligible for furlough payments. Possibly clutching at straws, but there may be one or two decent English lower league players keen to get earning a wage and playing again sooner rather than later that we can snap up. It may be that the lower leagues down south have already announced an August start date as well and I've missed it, but I couldn't find anything about it.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marly Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Tommy Wright would be a disaster. He suited St Johnstone and their team of sluggers, but would be terrible anywhere else[emoji28][emoji28] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Have to say I've been fairly amused by the reaction of a fair few Utd fans. Kidding themselves that Tommy Wright wouldn't be about the best appointment a club like that could dream of. Just look at the list of abject figures they've had over the past 30 years. It does seem as though a lot of their support are still stuck in the 1980's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) The hope is Schools can go back in Scotland from 11th Aug without the requirement to social distance as long as the virus continues as it currently is in Scotland. Hopefully means there's hope for us getting bums on seats at games around then as well!

Radford Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Glad we've got someone to work with the forwards at the club as have long felt that was an issue with the coaching structure. Whilst the manager having a grasp on the club is a bonus, it's not really a requirement for a coach, so simply hope MacLean is the best man for the job. Change of title for Cleland interesting I suppose and he's back to working with the 18s. Thought they might have asked Liam Craig to step in there, although I suppose he still might be involved. Not sure what the likelihood of the younger teams having fixtures any time soon is. Don't know enough about Alan Maybury to comment on his departure but important that the manager feels he has the right people around him. I'm sure with the experience he's picked up at Saints, on top of his time elsewhere, he'll find something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty parents have voiced concerns about his style of management and how he speaks to their boys. There were a few, most notably J on WAP, that were adamant he would be punted soon enough and it would be to Saints benefit, all of their sons have now left Saints.

RandomGuy. Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Am I allowed to say, with the caveat the tone of this post is inevitably going to make it seem like I'm saying something I'm not, that it's quite nice to be moving away from TW? I dont mean I'm glad hes gone, or that I prefer what we have to what he gave us, just that its nice to have the refreshing feeling of having the excitement of trying to work out how everything is going to work and what effect the new manager and coaching set up will have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bose Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 11 hours ago, RandomGuy. said: In other news, some random Torquay fan is claiming we've signed Jamie Reid. 25yo striker/winger who scored 18 in 32 games in the Conference last season, and scored 32 goals the season before in the English 6th tier. Linked with Huddersfield Town in January. As I say, boy saying it is just a random Torquay fan, but their manager is quoted as saying he turned down a new contract there to "take a bit of a risk".
