D'Jaffo Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Was hoping that would be a position we’d upgrade in the summer tbh but there is possibly some potential to be unlocked there. Hoping we can hear about Maxwell next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Yeah I'm fine with this, actually keep forgetting he is only 21 so hopefully an 18 month deal will be good time frame to see if he is going to make the grade. He needs to get himself a good pre season and get fit though- has looked basically knackered since the long summer break after the first lockdown! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Glad Houston has re-signed we need Muirhead in central defence not in midfield or right back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will need to kick on again or shouldn’t be a starter. Yes, I'd agree. In horsey terms he was a promising 2 year old but doesn't seem to have trained on, I just hope he can rebuild his career as a good handicapper as opposed to ending up in class 6 sellers..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne's man Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Not being negative on the Houston signing on, that's good for him, new manager with experience with under 23s might push him on. Isn't that bad a player tbf. I am a bit 'Meh' with the lack of signings so far though. It's gotten that bad, I'm looking at silly potential signings like Joe Mckee and actually attempting to justify it in my head 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Someone maybe wants to tell B&W TV that Houston is staying. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Any news on Bully's backroom team? I still think we need a clean break where the backroom team is concerned. Its frantic at the minute, there is a lot to get done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BukyOHare Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 47 minutes ago, Skyline Drifter said: Possibly true, though Jones had already been on the bench for Middlesbrough's first team (I've still absolutely no idea how we managed to persuade them to send him here, he should have been playing at a much higher level) and Mebude was very highly regarded. Breen less so having spent most of the 1st half of the season sitting on Thistle's bench. They were never the less quality players. For every Stephen Kelly there's an Afolabi and Bruce Anderson. That's the risk of loan signings. Rarely can you predict how they'll turn out, that you got 3 successes out of 3 in the one January window isn't a blueprint to follow. The quality signings spoken about on here I feel is the permanent signing of established Championship players or certainly younger players with upside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I hope we announce some more positive stuff tomorrow. Watson signing or Maxwell staying or something else would be decent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 That's good enough business, was showing real promise under Kerr before covid hit so just need to try and get him back to those levels now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about Scott McKenna and Kevin Nisbet the other day. You'd have never guessed from their loan spells with us that within a few years they would be regular members of the Scotland squad - and playing at a major international tournament. On that evidence alone, I expect Afolabi to be banging them in for an English Championship team in a couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, same . Had Chalmers at Left back as well and he was amazing. Won the league no bother Never lost a game. Though it's very unlike real life, In real life Chalmers looks out of place and McKee isn't getting approached by premier League sides as a key target 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North British Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Good news for Jordan Houston , glad he’s staying for another 18 months . I believe the boy has had a pretty rough time of the pitch , which may have impacted his form recently . Hopefully Bully can get him back on track , the next couple of seasons are crucial for Jordon .. I have a feeling he’ll come out the other side a quality full back . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
