diegomarahenry Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Hopefully Pendlebury stays, him and Young would be a bearable midfield pairing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how anyone can think having a couple of days to find someone from scratch to replace what was easily our best fit central midfielder will be anything short of a complete stab in the dark. If he goes we are back down to probably no one who looks like they can actually hit a ball. McGeady probably can but he hasn’t shown it shooting wise yet. You can’t compare him to Young yet, and he hasn’t shown anything to suggest he is better than Paul Smith - never mind easily better. Logan Chalmers and Jamie Murphy can definitely “hit a ball.” As can Smith from set pieces. I don’t care if he is away, as discussed further up we need better and a different style of midfielder to complement young.

Summer 23: Mutch - looks ok, too early to tell Stanger - success Murphy - success Amartey - success Pendlebury - too early to say McGeady - success due to off field role Rose - too early to say Ahui - can't base things off 45 mins, but not promising Chalmers - success Young - too early to say Totals 28 total signings 13 successes 8 failures 7 unknown This is all just my opinion of course but make of it what you want Let me know if i've missed anyone or not counted things up properly Wasn't actually asking you to do it by the way, but fair play. Miss rate is def too high though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been my mindset as of late, and I feel all the better for it. For too many years I just automatically turn up on a Saturday regardless of how miserable it has been. A week or two, or a few, away from it is actually quite refreshing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a few misses on there that are a bit harsh. Ashford wasn’t great but he contributed positively in a lot of games over his 18 months. I’d put him firmly in the meh category. Bangala and Gondoh are the only ones who were clearly out their depth imo. Magure and McAlear were the biggest let downs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ashford did a job, of sorts, bit unfair to put him in the dud category completely. Wonder if Bullen is regretting letting him go now, thinking to himself could he do a job in midfield. Gondoh was a strange one, got less game time than Bangala but I refuse to believe he was actually worse than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gondoh was a strange one, got less game time than Bangala but I refuse to believe he was actually worse than him. I'll admit it's a bit harsh to divide everyone we've signed into 3 categories and some of my picks were maybe harsh, like with Ashford and Mullin signing permanently. Most of them are quite clear where they lie though, and it puts our success rate at just below 50%, and a failure rate at about just less than 1 in 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as this situation is not what the club needs now, if he has homesickness (which would be affecting his performances), or if something has gone on with his family then there's not much we can do about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
