I can’t remember from when he was with you guys. just wondering if he has more tactical nous than hopkin? He's certainly a tactical dinosaur but it's hard to say whether he's better than Hopkin or not. With us he was not spectacularly bad (just hit a clear limit on his ability) but his record elsewhere is fairly grim. Duffy is in the box seat at the moment though and I'd be amazed if he didn't hang around to try and land the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t even remember what Duffy was like at Falkirk and Dundee but I remember him being an absolute disaster at Hibs. He seemed to job about for a bit before landing at yourselves and doing quite well although as you say he went as far as he could go. His stint at Dumbarton wasn’t pretty but Smith literally cannot afford to just hand him the reigns permanently without some sort of caretaker period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t a phantom mistake and there was no contact 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you despise Baird but he’s been fine so far this season. It wasn’t a penalty, as the highlights clearly showed. A still photo shows absolutely nothing. Baird was horrific last night though. 44 minutes ago, diegomarahenry said: If Smith has signed Hopkin and 4 coaches on a 2 year deal with no clauses, I guarantee Lachlan Cameron has given himself a hernia pissing himself laughing. That would be different levels of incompetent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A safe pair of hands. He’s been below average for a while now though. maybe Morton was the turning point. he’s the type of person you’d like to have behind a young manager. Moffat with Duffy as a coach/mentor. his association with Hopkins horrorball had binned that theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 He was a classy player and from what I've seen of Annan they like to play football. Not exactly been successful but has been there for a few years now. I’ve no idea what kind of budget he’s working with at Annan but I’d imagine the height of their ambitions are to stay in that league. He’s been there since 2017 and I think he’s had them in the play offs twice and they’re currently sitting 2nd just now. Every season they’ve done well they’ve lost their best players in the summer. Blair Henderson at Edinburgh, Aidan Smith went to Peterhead and then came back, Chris Johnston was another. I don’t think he’s the ideal choice right now but if we appointed someone short term until the summer and we stayed up then I’d be all for him coming in from the start of next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Bringing in someone who at least has some association with the club might not be the worst idea if Hopkin is punted, but we've just had that with Kerr so... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appointing someone like Murphy who, like Kerr, has history with the fans but also has the added bonus of having done reasonably well at a lower level might be okay. John Hughes is obviously another name that would get a lot of the fans back on side but I really wouldn’t be keen on keeping him on past the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he was succeeding McCall which was always going to be a tough act to follow. With Hopkin, not so much. Especially with how Hoppy is regarded atm by most fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
