"If I'd gone in there and they were high fiving each other I'd be worried" - MB discussing the players after drawing with Alloa. The same man who was content with a 1-0 defeat the week earlier The Gibson comment is just silly. Need beater players for sure and to be more more attack minded. We are in it with mB until summer but if we don’t get 4th he needs to go. It’s not fun watching us just now. Boring triangles and a long punt. Players have to step up too. They were hopeless yesterday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 8 hours ago, SUPERSOUTH said: Listening to Marvin's interview sounds like he is hoping for Reilly an Cochrane back in for next weeks game, and unlikely we will see any new signings any time soon... Need to get players out the door first.... Yip, It's looking like no real activity during this window. I can't say I blame the board here for restricting any. Given Bartley's recruitment thus far, why trust him to do more of it? I think this season is once more being quietly written off. The run in December virtually ensured safety, so it's again a question of sitting tight until the next go, hopefully under someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenacres Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) 23 minutes ago, QoS99 said: Who? Not a chance anyone would take any of our squad on loan so no new signing . The board have done the right thing why let Marvin add more to a very poor squad . The squad is far to big already. I would be amazed if anyone takes Walker or Hutchinson who is a good example.of Marv poor management why the hell give him a 2 year deal he offers nothing .

bod Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I kind of felt for Hutchinson yesterday with the lack of service but he doesn't help himself with his lack of movement. Also on a number of occasions his second touch was a tackle. That said I didn't like to hear the booing when he came off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm guessing Irving is one as well. If he can't break into this first team then he'll do well to be at Annan next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchinson does put the effort in but he really is a very poor nothing to do with lack of service. Usually a player has something that he is good at but he has nothing really the blame is all Marvs what he seen in him I have no idea and to give him a 2 year deal is very poor management Will be amazed if any club takes him on loan . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's depressing that moves to Annan are essentially sideways in nature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we chose to stay full-time though, I don't see that we can keep citing budget as much of an excuse. Not down here anyway. Budget wasn't my main point, although as I also implied there are ways to use a budget wisely and ways not to as we have sadly demonstrated this season. My main point (poorly made) was the observation that for the past few seasons we've elected to recruit from "the bargain basement player market" which has ensured our downwards direction of travel. A club with ambition in the professional leagues just doesn't do this. My observation being that this philosophy is reflective of the BOD's objectives ... financial prudence as a priority above all else. Hence our current establishment as a Tier 3 club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I wasn't meaning that you were particularly using it as an excuse, although I can see why it might have looked as if I was. I pretty much agree with you and wouldn't even be especially critical of a board that puts prudence first. I just think that all that considered, we certainly shouldn't be more impoverished than the likes of Alloa and Montrose, yet we're performing as if we are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Raggett has surely got to be packed off somewhere. Quite possibly the most pointless signing in the history of the club. Edited January 14 by Slipmat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS99 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) I’ve never understood the last few seasons recruitment with squads of 25+, I think it makes a lot more sense to run with a much smaller squad of 16/17 senior players (like Morton do) and the rest from our academy. That is surely a better way to manage our finances so we are in the market for a better player. Having said that, with this seasons injuries we would have struggled for a full squad most weeks.

Nothing wrong with financial prudence, you'd expect that from a BOD as custodians of the club ... but there's a balance with ambition to be struck, and at our level it's a difficult balance to strike so I don't envy their task. I just see little evidence of any ambition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly the most pointless signing in the history of the club. Udoka Chima says hi. Incidentally, I work with a Worthing FC season ticket holder. Chima rocked up at them in early December, picked up a hamstring injury in training, and then left a month later without having made an appearance. He’s not changed, then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
