If you were to sign the likes of McAdams, Ledger or Jacobs from us then you'd be adding solid players who are better than what you have in their positions. They could be part of a team competing in the top half of the division if they aren't surrounded by shite. On the other hand, if he's looking at the likes of Salkeld, Sean McGinty and Kalvin Orsi, then you're signing players who are miles out of their depth at this level and we don't even want to keep for League One. I know Morton fans really aren’t fans of David Hopkin (understandably so) however am I right in saying one thing he is good at is having a good relationship with his players? So it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that they’d be interested in linking up with him again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochwood Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Ecrepont needed to go to a team where he would be playing and up to January had limited game time, the club should have moved him to another club or bring him back not learning anything at Albion Rovers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, plenty seem to adore him and talk about him being one of the best coaches they've ever worked with, so no doubt they'd happy to follow. There are a few who appear to despise him, right enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cameron love in is a very strange one for me, I honestly can't remember any of our fans wanting him playing at the time he was with us and granted he didn't get much of a chance, however the reality is that he showed very little for us, and Alloa, despite his few goals, still finished bottom and quite a bit adrift of an absolutely shocking league. Same can be said for lots of these Morton players we're supposedly being linked with and being honest I'd just as soon keep some of our own "duds" as opposed to signing new ones who actually failed even more than our own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidkennedyshand Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Heard an interview with Paul Caddis saying he wants to come back to Scotland. 33 years old but assume he'll get an Spl club. Think he was at Bradford with Hopkin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone be demanding he played when we had no idea what he was actually like as he barely played.... He then went to Alloa and it became clear he is far better than any of our other options. Your comment about Alloa only says more about his performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to realise he was injured and unable to play for over half his time on loan to us , don’t think we wanted to take the chance of extending his loan due to the injury , which possibly turned out to be wrong decision 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It obviously only really became an issue when it was evident how bad Dre Wright was. We obviously let Anderson and Cameron go and only brought one striker in too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree on these three and would throw in Lyon, Nesbitt (if McCowan goes) and Fjortoft (mentioned by D'Jaffo earlier) as well as players we should be looking at. I'm not saying we should sign everyone of the players mentioned before anybody misquotes me. Just out of interest Dunning, what's the general consensus on the 3 players I've quoted? I get the natural reaction is that they've been part of, let's be honest, a poor Morton team. For the better players in the squad it's not to say it'll define their careers elsewhere.

At Alloa he looked decent enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bringing in a forward was a major concern, there must have been someone out there that could have done a job , I think Wright was a knee jerk reaction by previous management but Hopkin did have time to rectify it but for some reason didn’t 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His career record is 1 in 3 which isn't bad but also not great given the levels, however I'd doubt he'd have score half of his Alloa haul playing for us given that we didn't create anything so would be hard to give a read across. Craig Moore way ahead of him in my opinion, any day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Unless i'm mistaken in location the piece of land we allegedly own at Heathfield has a planning application for a housing development. Wonder if Mr Smith has taken the land of LC and going to build Ashleigh houses on it. Also regarding us purchasing the car park off of Kirkwood, i wonder if that means he isn't going ahead with his housing development behind the railway end, surely wouldn't sell his share of the proposed through road to the houses if he was still going ahead with it Edited May 2, 2021 by rb123! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
