Kempes Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, TxRover said: No, yes. In the Championship (and League one and Two) the suspension level is 6 yellows within 18 team matches, then it moves to 12 yellows within 36. So Paton wouldn’t be suspended, as he got the sixth yellow in the twentieth match. I think this is the post that convinced Callum to finally put pen to paper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Davidson all but confirmed at this point. He probably wouldn't have been my first choice given some of the other names we've been linked to, but I think with the right backing from the club he could be exactly the sort of guy we need. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf I don’t think we’ve got endless funds when required but I do think there’s going to be more money available over the next 12-18 months based on the Davidson appointment. A guy who had won the double with St Johnstone and had supposedly turned down the opportunity to go and manage Dundee in the summer ? I doubt he’d be attracted to the worst team in the championship with limited funds without assurances that he could enhance the squad. He’s got a reputation to rebuild. Not saying we’ll go mental but I think we might be less rigid than we have been the last 12 months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can return Robson to his late 2022 form and get a tune out of Charlie Fox and/or Will Tizzard, ideally bringing in an experienced CB to play between them and a striker able to stretch defences and to assist Paton, I'll be happy although I'll temper that with wondering who, if we do get another striker in, would be likely to miss out; assuming Thomas will play, would it likely be Turner? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be similar to when we had Ray McKinnon and he'll sign all his pals and well go back to Jobber FC but the slightly better version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you base it off us, you'll be signing ~10 players this window, 8 will be on 2 or more year deals, and 2 will be successes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wEEgIE bOrEd Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Davidson does have a pretty spectacular record when it comes to managing a team at a mostly-empty Hampden. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a striker comes in, and I hope he does, I would assume a 3-5-2 formation or perhaps 5-3-2. Either way I don't see where Thomas fits in. An experienced CB is essential to release Thomson to midfield. By the looks of Charlie Fox on Saturday he won't be back soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be amazed if its not 5-2-3/3-4-3 for the first handful of games. With wingers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QP's in my DNA Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 With all the opinions given so far in favour of and against, Davidson. I'd like to point out that the last manager we got on the rebound from the Perth Saints, was none other than Billy Stark. For me the Stark days were our finest, and all done with no transfer budget. If Davidson can improve us on the field as Billy did, that'll do me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Spider Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I like Davidson and I think this is probably the best we could have hoped for given our circumstances. My only worry is his record in the transfer market especially as we don't currently have the firewall of a DoF. I just hope their average age isn't 34. I assume Hepburn will be off back to Bayern, what a washout that was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first senior football in his career and we've been largely gash. New manager in who gets a bit of confidence back in the squad and I'm sure he can make an impact. Only concern would be if we start playing hoof-ball, then Bayern might pull the plug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's some agreement with Bayern about where he plays I'd also like to see, if we're going to be playing with two forwards, Hepburn given a shot up front. He's got pace, skills and a shot on him and it's not like we currently have many other options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't even been on the bench in either game so far in January. I have a feeling he was sent back as soon as we entered 2024 to make room for some new faces to come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Anyone we were going to get was either going to have some sort of damage on their CV or have no experience. Stark isn’t highly thought of at Saints and Coyle had a disaster at County before joining us. Both great Queen’s Park managers. You wonder where Davidson might have ended up if he’d walked away from Saints after that double cup win? Surely enough for a gig in the English championship at that point. Never understood why he stayed on after that. The only way was down. Happy enough and obviously wish him all the very best. Keep us up and see what the summer brings is the immediate task. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
