Rcfc fan Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I don’t really know why but I am buzzing about this , must be the fact all our fans can unite again and hopefully he can bring us back some memories like he did before (cup final, promotion and top 6 finish) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern was the mess of a squad he left behind the last time with some of the worst players I’ve ever laid my eyes upon, but happy to see him to come back the more I’ve thought about it with the success he brought to the club.

However he seems to have taken in some decent players for Morecambe, imagine we will see a good bit of movement in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hope his time down south has taught him better man management skills than punching his players... Starting to get the impression that MacGregor isn't a very good judge of character...Oh well, it's his toy, he can do what he wants with it I suppose. Genuinely think he's a better shout than any of the other realistic prospects mentioned. Who would be better ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty-RCFC Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Given that their is now a recruitment team in place at the club, I don’t think Adams will be dealing with the recruitment side of things anywhere near as much as he was in his previous tenures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would be better ? Someone who hasn't punched one of the members of the playing staff in the dressing room? Because punching Higgins really does standout in my memory as much as the Scottish Cup Final or the Championship winning season. I dunno. I honestly have no idea, Rhys McCabe at Airdrie seems to be doing well but I don't follow the Championship closely enough to really go to stump for him. I'm not totally down on it, I said in the other thread that Adams was manager for some of my best memories of watching County. But by the same token it didn't end well the 2nd time round & I don't just mean on the field. It's not so much that I'm disappointed or can spit off 5 guys I'd have picked before Adams, I genuinely just don't really know how I feel about it, because it was very much out of left-field. Suppose Malky was out of left-field too. There's things for & against it, hopefully George was a big source of the disharmony last time round, hopefully going back does work out, but I don't really think there's any harm in noting the reasons to be cautious. Still looking forward to getting my arse up to Dingwall on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Tibbs Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) How did Yann Songo'o and Jordan Slew do last time? I'll be amazed if he doesn't bring them up the road. Edited November 20, 2023 by Terry_Tibbs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slew, had everything to be a top quality striker. He was big, strong and fast...pity he was honking in front of goal.

bunglebonce Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) I've missed Slew ever since he left. I thought he was just an extra 5% away from clicking and being a 12-15 goal striker. His finishing ranged from very unlucky to rubbish, however. He's been used by Adams at Morecambe as a left-winger in a 4-2-3-1 which tells a story. He was signed on loan on 1 January, just in time for the derby in Inverness. County had been toiling for the first half of the season without any presence up front. All of a sudden we had a striker that could occupy two defenders, could play with his back to goal, spin his marker and stretch the pitch. Pity about the finishing. Adams then signed Yoann Arquin which put Slew down the pecking order in that loan spell, but I much preferred Slew. Slew wasn't an affordable option long-term, so I can see why Adams had to plan for not having him. Songo'o used to be great at pinging low passes into Slew's feet (which was in contrast to the Scott Boyd floaty long ball). There were times when Songo'o looked like a superstar, but he wasn't consistent with it. Edited November 20, 2023 by bunglebonce 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 No idea what the love in for Slew is for. Played 20 games for you and scored 1 goal. And his record elsewhere is very similar. Don't remember him at all, but his one goal was probably against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, shame about the goal scoring record, but a diddy team can build a side around those strengths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
