Can't say I remember much about him from our games. Decent player? He’s tidy enough on the ball, works hard and has decent enough pace. I agree he occasionally holds it too long and his big issue is his final product. I’ll go against the grain here and say it wouldn’t surprise me if he does fine, especially on a tight pitch.

Works hard is being very kind I think, the amount of times he got knocked off the ball because he’s 4 foot 8 and 6 stone then made no attempt to get it back was frightening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to opposition managers calling him a thug next season now he plays for big bad morton along with the rest of our midgets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Gorgeous George Oakley cancels out the height considering he’s about 6 foot 5, however if he’s anything like he was with us he’ll be more interested in wrestling opposition centre halves than actually playing football 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have a knack for getting the best out of these players on their last chance at full time football in Scotland with a point to prove so hoping Boyd is the same. 1 goal in 41 games, enjoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Baird was released by one of the worst full time teams in Scotland and scored 7 goals. George Oakley scored over 23% of his career total goals in 13 games for us last season. Wee Boydy will be the league top scorer next season mark my words. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched 'wee Boydy' in the pre-match shooting drills for most of last season's home matches I can assure you he will not be troubling the top scorers charts next or any season ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Absolutely no reason Boyd can't do a turn for Morton. He was mince for us but we've had plenty of jobbers come to Inverness and put in a good shift before earning a decent move from one or two solid seasons. Donaldson, Chalmers, White, Rooney and so on spring to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are both one of the worst full time clubs in the country based on wages offered who for years have been in the same market for the dregs of full time football players hanging on to their last hopes before going part time, especially at the point you released him. When you're released by Ayr or Morton for not being good enough then there's not really much lower to go, I'm shocked that this is a surprise to you, so for Baird to score the amount of goals he scored and be arguably our player of the year is testament to just how obvious it is that Boyd is going to break all Scottish football goalscoring records next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Need to trust the manager on this one then by the sounds of it. As port ton said imrie has a good track record of getting a tune out of players written off by other teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Baird, he wasn't actually released. He was offered a new deal, however I think it was more of a you're going to be 3rd/4th choice wages rather than starting. Same went with Muirhead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who'll not only sign players who've run out of full-time Championship options after playing for two of Morton, Ayr & Raith and being mediocre at best, but will give them a massive increase in wages while they're at it. Tremendous stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 The Lafferty deal isn't happening now apparently and we have an English striker on trial. No name given yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Apparently we are set to sign Celtic B player Adam Brooks, possibly today. 0.92 goals per 90 in the Lowland League last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
