Slattery's looked good in recent weeks so being able to keep hold of him should soften the blow of when Lennon leaves a bit. Squad under contract for next season currently is Oxborough SOD, Koutrombis, Gordon, Balmer, Wilson Miller, Slattery, Nicholson, Sparrow Stam, Robinson, Maswanhise With Jordan Mcghee agreeing to join on a pre-contract apparently And Stuparevic and Wells returning from loans So 16 under contract for next season would be looking to move 2/3 on Expand I know SOD has his moments but I am happy to see him sign. Be a good squad player. And he is nowhere near as bad as McGinley was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Odonnell is an excellent professional and at no point in the years he’s played with us have I doubted his effort or doubted his willingness to be here. (We’ve had a lot of players who would be happy to be elsewhere and defenders not as good as him, who have been loved by fans). im ok with him signing, i think he is a decent player and worth keeping. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly his first 2 seasons with us he was great I just feel he has massive dips in form each year and we can't afford to have players like that in CB and I don't think he has the engine on him to be playing RWB either. I also suspect he'd be one of our top earners considering his International experiences so would be looking to move him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Disagree . Would not keep him if we want to progress. Effort and willingness should be minimal standard for all of our players. What he lacks is pace and technical ability. You could tell from St Mirren game he was way off pace of the balls, often punted ball out to no one and positional sense lacking also. Main concern is his lack of pace and slower decision making. I think this should be his last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 If you want lack of pace, poor decision making, slack passing and questionable technical ability, look no further than Dan Casey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Sorry but SoD has had a shocker of a season his decision making alone has cost us games.I hope he is back up at the most. just curious what have convinced you people that are happy at this that sod still has it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunderwell Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 On 3/18/2025 at 7:53 PM, wellgirl said: I don't think SOD is a bad footballer Expand I've seen some bad footballers in my time and in terms of work rate, passing etc. he is ok. The major issue is that he is culpable in a lot of the goals we lose, he shouldn't be in a back three and lacks the pace required to be a wing back. These are not fixable problems. He would be better to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 SODs is fine, we need a squad. We are about to go through another significant rebuild with a manager thats new to the country, so having an experienced player thar can cover multiple positions is valuable. He may make mistakes, but we have a squad full of players that make mistakes, it just happens to be that we all notice more when SOD is involved. I'll preface my next comment with the fact that every goal in every game could probably be tracked down to a defender doing something wrong, and sometimes you just have to accept that making defenders make mistakes is kind of the point of attacking, but Casey has been culpable for a bunch of goals this season too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
