I think he's doing a decent defensive mid role but would like to see him pushed up. Adding a defensive mid player would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an extended job interview for him. Hopefully it pays off and he gets a decent move in the summer 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 A loan signing from Livingston after scraping past a part-time team on penalties. "Go for it Alan, that'll really get them all back on side....." I admittedly know absolutely nothing of Robbie Crawford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm guessing the loan means Campbell's crocked for the Aberdeen game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm not sure what this guy can do that Semple and Cornelius can't. He has played 1 game this season. Who's keeping him out of the Livi team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Really really poor signing. ANOTHER Livingston reserve? If I was Cornelius or Maguire Id be disgusted at that and be on the phone to my agent to engineer a move anywhere else. What a slap in the face for whats left of our Academy! Guess that also means Campbell is crocked?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballso Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 The same posters on this forum who moan about us signing people from down south and not from Scottish teams, will be the same ones moaning about us signing someone from a Scottish club. I'm all for giving our youth a chance but what margin of error will they have in a team lacking in confidence quite badly at the moment? As soon as any mistakes are made, they’ll be savaged by the usual suspects here in no time. Crawford at least has first team games under his belt at a level neither Cornelius and Semple have so far 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Barry Maguire isn't good enough. I've never seen Crawford play but given how good Lamie and White are I'm sure our third Livi reject will fit right in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is Barry Maguire doing at the club if the Manager has no intention of playing him? And how do You know that anyway? In most cameos he has looked pretty decent, but has never been given a chance. Its different if its a decent signing who can improve the team and build the club. But a panic loan for a Livingston reserve player is a slap in the face for guys who are actually contracted to our club and desperate for a chance to prove themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmac Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Fuck me. This is a complete joke. No harm to the guy, I’m sure he’s pleasant and all that but Christ almighty, we need quality, experience and leadership and we’re bringing in a loan from Livi? Seriously, what is going on? Hapoel must be shitin themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a panic loan for a Livingston reserve player is a slap in the face for guys who are actually contracted to our club and desperate for a chance to prove themselves This is a fair point and Barry maguire is a good example - he's 22 and been around the first team for 4 or 5 years. If he's not good enough (and I'm not saying that's the case), then the management should have been looking to move him on by now, for the sake of his own career, let alone the club. If he is good enough then he's waited long enough for a chance and now is it. As it happens I suspect Barry will start at the weekend and Crawford is brought in for back up to allow semple to stay out on loan and perhaps cornelius out on loan too - regular competitive games for half a season will do these lads more good than sitting on our bench.
