According to the moonhowler Adams! His wage demands would likely be very high anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molotov Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Disappointing result tonight but not unexpected. Our league season is never usually defined with games against the OF. I was more disappointed with the last home performance against Kilmarnock. Time to regroup and hopefully we can get another good run after the restart. A decent run in the Scottish cup would be ideal especially with some of the other top flight teams playing catch up with postponed league fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baccus and O'Hara were sorely missed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baccus yes, but we can’t really moan about O’Hara being missing when most of us have been saying he’s been honking for months anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo87 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Winter break come at a good time i think. need to regroup and get back to what we were doing well in the opening games of the season. I’m sure SR will have a couple of options lined up with some heading out the door. Our dealings / squad management has been excellent last couple of windows so no reason this one can’t be the same… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munoz Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Thought Elvis looked ok when he came on. Showed some nice touches and effort considering the scoreline and level of opposition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , not unexpected but what was unexpected and was a massive disappointment was the lack of organisation, effort & commitment plus individual lapses and the fact that we didn’t lay a glove on them ! They had 8 times more shots at goal than us … 8 fucking times !! . 75/25 Possession spilt I can get but not a single shot at goal against their 11 , 1 corner v their 12 is unacceptable.

However can’t really think of a harder way to make your debut! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieBud Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 If we can get 2 decent midfielders and a half reliable striker in, given the fixtures now until the break, I’d strongly fancy us to get top 6 and push for that 4th place, but we def need a couple out and couple in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac28 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Think the main issue is getting a few out the door. Might aswell send Stav home if hes never getting a game. I would try and sell Olusanya and Grieve and get Flynn to retire to go full time coach 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would try and sell Olusanya and Grieve and get Flynn to retire to go full time coach I understand where you are coming from but who is going to pay for Toyosi and why would Flynn agree? Would it free up significant funds? I also think it would be short sighted to lose Greive. He is young and has an eye for a goal. Early season he made good finishes, 1 or 2 were chopped off. We haven't exactly been creating loads of decent chances for our strikers anyway. I think Lewis contract likely nailed Stav for not remaining permanently but who knows. We do however need a stronger squad to push for 4th and avoid 6th, 7th or 8th though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I can only assume that Stav is not cutting the mustard in training or something, because any game time he’s had he’s looked one of the sharpest forwards we have. I just don’t get it otherwise. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest issue will be getting someone to pay for the players and will probably need to wait for end of season with Flynn but players need to go and i dont know who else we can afford to lose 2 minutes ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: I can only assume that Stav is not cutting the mustard in training or something, because any game time he’s had he’s looked one of the sharpest forwards we have.

Not 100% sure though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple important goals between them but not enough on a regular basis Edited January 3 by AussieBud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 To be fair we could bin all our forwards as not having the quality. However they are here because they are as good as we can get. Stav is a mystery. Looks the part but is not getting game time. Olusanya will never cut it at this level Ayunga is perhaps our best striker. Grieve bags of running and effort but not going to bag 10 goals a season. Mandron technically sound but poorer version of Ayunga. Jamieson young but yet to get up to speed. I struggle to see who we can move on. Olusanya perhaps. The rest of the team we pretty much need them all. Flynn is a bit part and not good enough but who would take him? We may get bids for Baccus so money may come in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
