Nelson Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Dipo was the worst thing to happen to us. Validated the idea that there really is top quality at a level where there is clearly none. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazka6 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Sadly we now have a long list of these lucky bag signings, no wonder we’re jaded with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great signing a big name like Chris Maguire but we all know how that turned out, don't we? Everyone is going to give them a chance, but given our summer success with these type of signings some concern is completely valid. Ultimately we are still in a relegation battle, and needed some quality in certain positions. I’m assuming we’ll get a full back in soon too. Maybe we will be going with two up front, and won’t be getting that attacking midfielder in though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only saw him twice this season but he's the most noticeably bad opponent player I've seen Morton come up against this season. Future generations will tell their grandkids about how bad his debut vs us was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the players folk are fucked off about, its the process, of the players brought in during the summer, Rose, Ahui, Senga, Young, Pendlebury and Amartey have all either been poor or left, Young only played well in the last 5 games. The players with a reputation in Scotland have been far and above the players sourced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately we are still in a relegation battle, and needed some quality in certain positions. I’m assuming we’ll get a full back in soon too. Maybe we will be going with two up front, and won’t be getting that attacking midfielder in though. We need quality and experience and we keep taking random punts on players with no first team experience and no proven track record of performing at our level. Brown has made a positive first impression, but there is still a sense that something is wrong with the management structure at the club. Bullen was hopeless, but there’s no doubt he was badly let down by some hideous recruitment. Has anything changed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It’s almost as if Browns used his contacts for McHugh and Mathie has said right let’s try one of our darts from down there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January is a month that frustrates all as you very rarely get exactly what you need. The big question marks for me is have we brought in players that are better than what we have. I’m confident with Sanders. I think McHugh is very different from Young and I think with Willoughby it’ll all come down to how he starts. He clearly need a bit of confidence so a good start on Saturday could get him up and running. All we’re looking for is enough to tide us over to the summer. I’m confident enough that the change in manager will play a far bigger role in that than who we sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Past it Scottish (or Scottish Irish) has beens, English loans and NL jobbers seems to have been our MO since Glendinning took over. We're lucky if 2 out of 8 are considered a success 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullen chose and had final say on who we signed so you can’t say he was let down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
