Ayr23 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Aye that’s a tough one to take. Loved watching him play. Had that bit of flair you don’t really see at our level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I'm guessing they received a bid for him. Forest Green Rovers seemed to be the name mentioned who was interested in signing Chalmers. Stinking timing for us though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzar Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Does losing Chalmers mean we're now in the market for a replacement though - hope so but finding someone of his quality will be a stretch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 JML will hopefully turn it on against Arbroath again… Its unfortunate that Chalmers is the exact kind of midfielder you want in a wind assisted half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll definitely need another body in. Doubt they’ll prove to be on the same level as Chalmers but we don’t necessarily need them to be as good as him to finish in the playoffs, especially if O’Connor is staying. Just a steady option to contribute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Didnt think Chalmers would be away, and certainly not it being announced on a match day. Gutted 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lot also said that shit about Baird. Gillespie. Etc. Most of us had similar reaction about Roy. In Dougie we trust though. At least you lot will sign someone now. 1 out, 1 in.

diegomarahenry Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Mixed feelings about Chalmers, an exciting player to watch but didn't have much output in the grand scheme of things, he has also played during our rotten spell and didn't lift things. We definitely missed him when he was out though as he often broke quickly up the park. I'd expect that we wouldn't sign a direct replacement, maybe bring someone in as cover for other areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've probably got steady, really need something above the norm, but your right very hard to get 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted I missed his assist/bit of skill against Raith for our 1st goal due to being loaded with a chest infection. Think Mullin is a better fit for our style at the moment and I'd be very pleased if we got him on a permanent transfer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had an annoying habit of taking the ball on runs to nowhere when he should have looked for a pass. That aside, decent player and absolutely shite timing for him to be recalled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to the wee ned, when you actually look at his signings is there anyone you’d say is below a 6/10? We’ll definitely sign someone. Whether they are any good is another thing. The good thing about Chalmers was that he knew this level and his game suited it. He wasn’t consistently brilliant but he was very capable of doing one or two things in a game that would likely result in a goal. He’s not as involved as the likes of Mullin but still a huge loss for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted Therein lies the risk of having loanees in the first team. Look at Abroath last season for an even crueler example. I always feel it's a big risk for a team to get loanees from the league above, excepting from the old firm who don't give a shit about 80% of the players on their books. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabia, despite ticking all the boxes and looking a decent choice, is probably the weakest of his signings to date (and he wasn't that bad). Still sent packing for not hitting the required high standards. Everyone else (ringer sub keeper excluded for being a box ticking ringer) has been spot on. Wild if he can keep up that hit rate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
