I assume Jack Walker must be going out on loan going by this deal? I think it’s blatantly obvious Ferguson doesn’t rate many of the players Ross Jack recommends to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peechy Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Haven’t a clue what’s been happening but think it’s not been going well even before Big Dunc arrived 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Ferguson wont sign a striker as it'll then push Ferguson Jr further down the order - right now he is only behind Billy & Brooks (should also add in Cairns TBF) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) And Brooks seems to be played as a left midfielder clearing the way for Ferguson Jnr to bang in the goals to fire us to League 1 glory!* (*may not be true) Edited August 29 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) While I do think we have some youth players that should be given a shot I sometimes get the impression some of our fans think every single player is good enough to be playing at this level. Bray, Strachan, Macleod, Mackay, Cairns and Nicholson have all impressed when playing and should be getting more minutes imo but the rest haven’t really shown they are ready. They have been pumped by Brora and Nairn already this season which proves this. Edited August 29 by PB1994 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bray is the real hope that could be in the team for the next few seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we were left with the CBs gilmour billy and brooks as the quality more experienced players. Now what positions are left from that were still very weak at? I'd say that's where the recruitment should have been prioritized. Except I'd say it hasn't been done. And Duncan has just brought in players to replace those better young players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyMelon Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Connall Ewan was excellent for us last season. Was a standout from early on and he looked assured in senior football. Very good signing for you guys. With a bit of luck, it’ll take you less time to remember how to spell his first name than it took me. Not sure I ever had it correct with confidence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Ferguson Jnr is not very good at football. Edited August 29 by ICTChris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 11 minutes ago, ICTChris said: Ferguson Jnr is a really weird looking guy. He is really tall and quite big but also looks really weak. He has big legs but tiny thin arms. Unsettling vibes. I noticed that. He also appears rather odd when warming up. The young lads all seem to warm up together, and even when he gets involved, it doesn’t look like he’s particularly friendly with any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to be a bit more careful recently after someone said most of them do on a podcast, especially the younger ones. They’re professionals at the end of the day, and they’ll be aware the club isn’t doing well. You have to take the abuse with the praise, and if they’re going out their way to read a football forum, then they can only blame themselves really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criticising play is fair game but middle aged men calling out a 21 year old for being really weird looking is a bit off imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair enough. As I don’t really get offended by anything I usually think anything is fair game. Perhaps his son is blameless but due to our relegation and the Kelty fiasco there is understandably a lot of animosity towards Ferguson, and his son being signed while we were short of money despite failing at Forfar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 I criticise Ferguson Jr because he’s absolutely fucking shite at football. I suppose it’s kind of not his fault, his idiot father is playing him several levels of football above his ability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Yogi Hughes was an odd looking bloke, but a decent manager. A guid honest odd looking bloke. Cameron Ferguson is a shit at football odd looking giant. If he could score goals in the North Caley I’d be amazed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not his fault, but at the end of the day, he’s an adult on a contract being paid by the club we go and pay to watch. So he gets slated by me, the same way I slated Brad McKay or Nathan Austin. Shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
