Was wondering why he still has no club I didn't realise that he had missed so many games over the years, I thought his injury worries were from recent years. Saying that I'm sure Ryan Jack was vocal about Kipre trying to wreck his career or something. He said in an interview recently that he was training on his lonesome at Dalziel Park, you can't help but feel he will likely fold like origami if we signed him.

He is the very definition of a perma-crock. No doubt a fit Ryan Jack would do a job for us. But given our current injury status, even I would be questioning SKs decision making if we go down that route! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fluke, no two ways about it. If anything the credit should go to Tony Watt for his goals in the first half of 21/22 otherwise we would have been in relegation trouble never mind in with a shout of top six. Were we not in the top six all season other than for 20 minutes during that match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Ryan Jack would almost certainly be another patient at the Fir Park Hospital if he signed so its a massive naw yer alright son from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the credit should go to Tony Watt for his goals in the first half of 21/22 otherwise we would have been in relegation trouble never mind in with a shout of top six. Fortunately the season does not start in January. So credit to him and all the players for amassing enough points over the full season to secure top six. So not a fluke. Sufficient hard earned points amassed to finish above six others. I would settle for that outcome any season. His time was up for the reasons I highlighted. But if you want to pick and choose partial seasons, why not opt for August to December which would suggest he was one of the top Managers in the League. Of course he wasn't, but it is easy to ignore the positives when you are intent on being negative. For clarity, I detested the football under Alexander even when winning and the enjoyment of securing points in that first half season was obliterated by what we were subjected to disguised as football. I would have happily seen him moved on before season end. He did what was asked of him though which I guess is why he was not binned pre Sligo.

Claretamberribbon Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Re Watt would anyone turn down a huge wage rise, I certainly wouldn't, as football fans we sometimes think with our hearts rather than head. Maybe the fans being split will inspire him to get everyone onside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 On 8/14/2024 at 9:52 AM, David said: We're currently sitting with a first team squad of around 26 players. Yes, some of them are injured, but those injured players still need to be paid and their medical costs taken care of. They will all return at various points over the coming weeks and months, so we can't just keep spending money on new players. How big do we want our squad and wage bill to be? Even if the management decide they want to make some more signings, it'll be a hard sell on any new player when we ask them to come in and provide cover for an injured player, then they likely get papped out the team when said injured player returns. At most, I anticipate a few six-month loans before the transfer window closes, and even then, the calibre of these players might not be sufficient to satisfy the online critics. This is the squad currently. Oxborough/Hegyi Mcginn/Koutrumbis Gordon/Balmer Blaney/Casey SOD/Kaleta Davor/Miller/Halliday Callahan/Slattery/Sparrow Wilson/Seddon Paton/Nicholson Moses/Robinson Stuparevic/Watt/Stamatelopolous Imo that's weak at RWb, Holding Midfield, and attacking midfield. That's a Kelltlewell/Recruitment team issue can't say they've not been backed as they've been allowed to bring in 13 of their own players.

He looks like he could be a great wee player for us in the next couple of years. However, I think injuries to the squad will force Kettlewell to keep him in the match day squad until at least January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree but with Nicholson's absence (unless you're playing Watt as a creator rather than a number nine which I we will do), a lot of responsibility in midfield being loaded on the shoulders of two weans...

I think the lack of other creative players for the foreseeable future means that he will be used from the bench a fair bit. Maybe out on loan in January if Stuperavic, Paton and Nicholson are all back...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
