The Marly Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Ric said: It's a shame for MacPherson. It was becoming clear he wasn't going to progress into a great player but he seemed to have all the attributes to be an average lower Premiership or upper Championship one. I'm sure I wasn't the only St Mirren fan to look at the move and think, if given the right position and directions, the change of club might see him become a decent addition. Not a replacement for outgoing players, but certainly not a bad addition to the squad. It seems, however, either through his own mistakes or through Davidson's use of him, it's all gone a bit Pete Tong. He's Championship level. Lower Championship level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he was a world beater, but going on the reports from your support it seems he's regressed badly for whatever reason. Shame for the boy, but I'll not lie; as much as I'd be slightly disappointed if he had gone to you and been a star, I'll not shed many tears about him not improving your team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably a player that would look good in a good team where he'd get more time on the ball. There is clearly some tallent in there, but we just don't get to see it. I think for him, a move abroad would suit his game better. The irony is that he'd probably do a job for us if we went down to the championship, however, like Crawford, he will never be a player Saints fans will take to. General problem the season is that our midfield has absolutely zero grit and not willing to put enough effort in. Concerned at the lack of 'firm' rumours or signings given Saturday is first day we can get them in. What I don't want (but suspect is what we will get) is back end of window signings. We need 3-4 players in and with a couple of weeks training under the belt before the first game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is clearly some tallent in there, but we just don't get to see it. I think this as well. If he’d joined us at the end of last January and played occasional matches and been brought off the bench, he would have been playing in a confident, successful side and probably looked far better. Instead he’s been brought into a struggling team well into the season and been asked to perform a certain role in a side that looks an incoherent mess a lot of the time. His lack of work rate, particularly being lazy when an opponent first runs off him presumably hoping it comes to nothing has not helped his cause at all. Possibly he’s struggling for match fitness and sharpness? He hasn’t started many matches to be fair. There was a game (possibly first half v Livi) where I thought he looked very good, spraying passes around and looking like one of our more creative midfielders, and he also started brightly in a draw with hearts and win at Tannadice, but each time he faded badly as our midfield was dominated by the opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown effectively gambled that by not depending inntbe Dummer and only loosing 2 players wouldn't have had quite the negative impact that it has. Your right it wasn't baffling to Brown just to everyone else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidSJFC01 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 If Hasseilbank’s post is actually cryptic, and he does sign for us… it really makes me question the new Head of Recruitment. In what seemed like a good appointment for the club and one that would help us modernise… we’re still signing ex players, players that Callum knows and players that Gary Rowett knows Surely, just surely… in a window where more funds are getting freed up, we’d have better plans in place than an ex player from 6 ish years ago who’s been a free agent since the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleary has been a target for months, before we were in such a mess and the chairman spoke about backing the manager in this window. If our other signings are Wighton, Crawford and Hasseilbank… are you happy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
