Big Wispy Flossy Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Getting a semi competent central midfielder in must be surely seen as a priority now, along with another wide midfielder / winger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 we could pretty much replace the full mildfield - some who create chances for strikers strikers who can score 1 every 3 games and replace much of the defence other than that we're looking solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 I don't think its any exaggeration to say that the rest of our season will depend on who we bring in in the next week or so. We'll also have to jettison some deadwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Never in our recent history have we needed to spend money like we do now! Im not saying splurge half a million on somebody, but something like £100k - £150k on someone , maybe someone who is out of contract in June with a bit of pedigree and would bring even a little excitement. Thay could be the difference between safety & relegation. Im very worried now, we have had no new manager bounce and we have a bloated squad that still looks like there is something seriously wrong with it. We desperately need a right winger, a striker who can score & a central midfielder or we will be relegated. No point the club crowing about profits and cash in the bank when we will be haemorraging cash next season in the Championship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I wouldnt even be against going to Rangers for more loans. We can get Hastie to fuck, but their other fringe players could do a major turn. George Edmundson, Glenn Middleton, Greg Stewart & Jordan Jones are a billion times better than anything we currently have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merit in what you say about ‘not a time to just to throw them in’ but, ‘clearly aren’t good enough (or they’d be in the team by now)’ can be dismissed. There’s too many variables - many a month went by & Turnbull et all were kicking their heels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact we haven't won since he last played there. Polworth needs to be dropped as he is a complete liability in a relegation dog fight. And no harm to Crawford but I just don't see what he adds. I actually think the back 4 and goalkeeper, on paper at least, looks like the best part of our team. 14 matches this season we've conceded 1 goal or less. We've conceded a lot less goals than Ross County or Hamilton. The big issue for me, right from the start of the season, has been the lack of a goal scorer in the squad. 19 goals in 23 matches is the major problem. Then when you consider we had two big wins, 4-0 v Ross County and 3-0 v Aberdeen and that leaves 12 goals in 21 matches. Horrific. Our shooting stats are abysmal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may have decent young guys at the club, but are we likely to get the chance to develop them into first team players before they're off? Not that it matters when it comes to keeping us up this season. No sure how we can dismiss getting a short term fix from the Old Firm on the basis they might reap the benefit long term.

That's an issue but not the whole story - how many chances have been missed by the strikers this season? You could probably make a 'highlight' reel out of just Watt's misses alone. And I've said it before and I'll say it again - not one of our strikers has any kind of goal scoring record throughout their careers. You need a Moult, a Sutton, a Higdon, a McDonald in the squad. At least one guy with some kind of goal scoring pedigree. We don't have any. Watt has probably been one of the better players this season but if we are depending on him for goals we're fucked.

I remember a few games where we were lucky to register more than one or two shots on goal, but I can't argue with their 'modest' goal scoring career records.

Spit_It_Out Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 And this is why we need to dip into the the coffers and do a Louis Moult, buy a striker that can score goals from the National Conference in England 50,000-100,000 pounds now might just bloody save us!
