Barraclough got an easy ride there , no mention of a goal scoring forward as MW alluded to in the media Waste of a wage as a Chief Executive could easily carry out the job he is doing just now . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Diack and Horn, Falconer wasn’t going to get much, if any game time. But we’re now down to a squad of 20 assuming everyone is and stays fit.

Very few fans grumbling at moment. We’ve been crying out for a goalscoring forward since last season In the playoffs against St Mirren we played them off the park second half but never looked like scoring . Absolutely exactly the same at Easter Road , played very well without any goal threat . This season in the league Samuel and Watt haven’t scored yet Our Sporting Director and Recruitment Officer should have addressed this by now Huge week for our Club Edited September 13 by jlsarmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 I agree we need a goalscoring forward, but imo we also need to see more from some of the players we have. Samuel, Watt, Smyth and Stanway have not got anywhere near last seasons levels. Stanway has been given some leway because of when he signed, but we need to see improvement from them all soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanway doesn't deserve any leeway at all. That he's off the pace is purely down to the decisions he and his advisors made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby Jag Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 I think this is pretty much just Stanway's normal level of performance once you take away last season's goals, which to me always felt a bit unsustainable. He hasn't scored in a regular league game from open play in 14 games and indeed only 2 in calendar year 2026 from 18 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Glentoran are looking for a new manager and Ian Baraclough is one of the contenders. I would be sorry to see him go but it he does then it would be interesting to see who replaces him as I assume we would keep the same structure. For those who would say that we don't need a sporting director and a chief executive could perform that role as well I would say we don't actually have a chief executive at the moment (just an acting general manager) so would need to make an appointment there. Anyway, probably all media speculation but gives us something to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenboig Jag Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Can’t see that happening as Glentoran’s crowds are lower than ours surley he would earn more at Firhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
