Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 So I've heard that Cole Stockton is been discussed as a possible January signing. Currently at Morecambe, not had a great season so far but scored a healthy amount last season, out of contract soon, or so I'm lead to believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, that's not strictly true. Prior to his taking the huff this season he'd scored 41 goals in 99 games over the 20/21 and 21/22 seasons. 26 goals in 50 games last season had his stock pretty high but it seems no one was up for paying the fee Morecambe were looking for. Those two seasons definitely stand out as being an exception for him though. The story is being reported by Alan Nixon so you can take as much or little of a pinch of salt with that as you want. We've been quoted as also having an interest in bringing him in on a PCA. https://insidefutbol.com/2022/12/19/ross-county-make-bid-for-motherwell-and-forest-green-rovers-target/587859/ We were the Scottish club quoted as having an interest in the story that ran on December 11th re: Forest Green so there’s been a bit of chat about him on our thread https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/league-one-club-rivalling-scottish-premiership-outfit-for-morecambe-talisman/ Edited December 20, 2022 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will obviously back him if he were to sign, but not expecting fireworks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I see MacKinnon and Wright have been recalled early from their loan spell at Montrose. They both got good game time there so are they back for the squad or maybe a loan out to a Championship team? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensible Soccer🏴 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Laidlaw has signed a new contract until 2026. A good move imo, he's not perfect but he's also far better than many give him credit for too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
central staggie Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Fair to say he hasn't been as good as he was last season, but it goes without saying that if we do manage to haul ourselves out of the shitshow we're in at the moment - and that's a big if - he'll play a huge part. Pretty pleased to see him stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rcfc fan Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Pretty happy to see laidlaw stay on , as above he’s not perfect and can have the odd blooper but generally he is decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 3½ year contract for a player at our level - that's bold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the phrase is “damned by faint praise”. A 3 1/2 year contract for a keeper that is “generally decent” doesn’t fill me with hope for an improved squad. As you say he is generally decent, but his distribution isn’t great. In a team that’s scoring loads of goals it is probably liveable, but unfortunately that’s not where we are. It smacks to me of preparation for the Championship and a hope that we can bounce back as before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say it smacks of a return to the championship as Laidlaw never played for us in the championship , there’s nothing to say we won’t bring in another keeper in those 3.5 years as top choice or to fight with Laidlaw for the position 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re anticipating relegation you need to ensure a core of your squad stay to give you a base to build on. Players out of contract at the end of a season when a team’s relegated tend to look to stay in the top league. Would Laidlaw sign a one year deal while we’re bottom of the league? Probably less likely, so you offer him a better deal than you would do if you’re confident of staying up and looking to improve the squad. As it was said, he is generally decent. Enough for the Championship, but imo not great for the top league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
