Radford Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 52 minutes ago, tree house tam said: Sure, it looks like a panic signing but let's not condemn everyone involved just yet lads. I suppose the question will be if he turns out to be good (which is obviously what everyone hopes) is it because of great scouting and research, or has he got lucky with a panic signing? You get away with signings like Mitov and Jephcott if they don't work out because they make so much sense on paper. If too many Olufunwas don't work out, you have a problem in terms of trusting your recruitment. As I said before, I don't like loans but a bad loan is better than a bad two-yearer. I've stuck up for MacLean and the process this summer but if he panics this week, I'll be so disappointed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wright recommended the Norn Irish signing, so it’d be contacts as opposed to scouting imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know any factual info but he's been semi involved at Charlton by the looks of it. Came off the bench against Aberdeen at the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive not watched it, and won't, but he wasnt great at interviews last season even while we were on the 3 wins/1 loss in 6 run. I think hes just awkward on camera. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've actually paid attention to him so maybe just more of a shock to me. I can see how he'd be unsuccessful in persuading players to sign for you based on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye hes always a bit shifty/nervous looking in them, and looks like hes unsure of his words when hes not. Jamie Murphy was the same with his interviews, looked like he was about to burst into tears. We've signed 2 players ahead of EFL clubs this season, i dont think hes putting people off signing for us. The overall state of the club over the past few years + cut wage budget this season is more of an influence on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 He’s much better in them now than he was as a player. Some of those used to be genuinely uncomfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a bit monotone all of the time tbh in interviews. It's one of things I don't think is a big worry. The likes of Jack Ross talk brilliantly in interviews and we know that doesn't mean much when it comes to on the pitch He speaks a bit better in person away from the cameras. For me I can clearly see how in his head he wants to play offensively anyway. Whether or not he can get them to play that way or whether the players are good enough to play that way is are different questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Don’t see much wrong with the interview tbh! He’s not going to rant and rave or get over excited in a press interview ffs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 Maybe it's just because I've had to listen to Davidson for the better part of 3 years but I didn't think that was a bad interview. We can't all be natural public speakers but think he got his points across well enough 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Yeah his interviews are absolutely fine and we know that he commanded a lot of respect in the dressing room as a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
