The team lacks creativity and goalscorers - that’s what needs addressing. Disagree.. we’ve lacked a proper ball winning DMF all season and that’s contributed to us conceding the midfield too often. Whether Martin is the answer we’ll soon find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of anyone Milne got a fee didn’t he? It’s not even that it’s the potential.. had an eye for a signing from the lower leagues. Turner was another that could have went for a fee when he came back. Can you tell me someone that Doolan has signed we can say, well maybe he can go for a bit of money? No one at all ! Mid table championship club again, with no potential. Doolan has had a fairer crack at the whip money wise than McCall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow & Redneck Posted February 3, 2025 Report Share Posted February 3, 2025 (edited) I see Robinson mentioned online that "it wasn't the way (he) wanted it to end," and the "board are making it very difficult." Don't think it was fair to leak the messages (if true), but it seemed as if Doolan wanted to extend his (Robinson's) contract further. If that is indeed true, it just goes to show you how inept Doolan is as a manger, and he should be the one moved on. Don't think anyone would have expected Robbo kept on beyond the summer, let alone been given a new contract. Again, IF true, it shows that Doolan doesn't have the stomach to actually make a pretty easy decision in the best interests of the club. Whatever the story, it is obvious the club are an utter shambles.

Seriously can’t be losing half a dozen goals from Milne and the same from Robbo a season and bringing in 0 goals in return, Doolan has to be having a laugh if this is true. That's plenty.

It’s embarrassing, we have 1 goalkeeper and 1 striker on the books at end of the January transfer window. Onwards and upwards for us only !

Auld Jag Posted February 3, 2025 Report Share Posted February 3, 2025 (edited) Good luck to Harry Milne in joining the other ex Jags at Hearts. Good luck to Scott Robinson as well.

Thistle88 Posted February 3, 2025 Report Share Posted February 3, 2025 Lost our best player, signed a wee guy who in his interview says( I give the ball to players who are good with the ball ) Darren Brady written all over it ! Exciting times ahead. my only genuine hope from this window is that Turner is no longer wasted because The ghost Robinson is off ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point isn’t nonsense ,tell me the last manager apart from McCall who signed a player that we sold on or went on to have a decent career? Didn’t say your anti or pro anything, my point is we had decent players coming in capable of selling on while McCall was here, we now have **** all !

lady-isobel-barnett Posted February 3, 2025 Report Share Posted February 3, 2025 2 minutes ago, Big Col said: So you don’t think we need creative players and goalscorers? Odd. The problem in midfield as I see it is a lack of possession mainly due to a dearth of ball winning. Doesn't matter how creative the midfielders are if they don't receive the ball often enough. I think in plain terms sacrificing an attacking mid for a defensive (ball winning) mid is sensible. I admit we're lacking in personnel upfront, but at the same time I don't recall many games where we've missed loads of goalscoring opportunities. Rather I feel we've just not been creating enough chances. Perhaps Martin will help re more ball retention allowing others to create these chances? That's the theory anyway. Will the addition of Martin be greater than the loss of Robinson? I don't know enough about the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was on something like a monthly contract? Maybe he was eagerly "told" he could go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
