Radford 72 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 We are still in contention for the top six for those that want to be positive but there is no hiding what the table looks like just below us. What message does doing nothing over the next few days send out, especially when the manager has made it clear that he wants bodies in? I'm still optimistic we'll get something done. Thursday morning will reveal whether that is a foolish stance. blueheaven 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I hope we're not hanging around waiting on O'halloran or Swanson. Would be nice to see us think outside the box for a change. Edited January 28, 2018 by Broon SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are being outbid for players by Dundee, Ross County, Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock it’s not hard to see why it’s difficult to “think outside the box”. fazman1977, Bruno Strasser and blueheaven 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady on Broon,thinking outside the box,sounds way to radical for our chairman’s insular mind set.Hell it might even cost money.No,paper over the obvious to all cracks and keep our fingers cross. If we are not already there we soon will be when it’s time for root and branch surgery from top to bottom at our club.Transformation,regeneration,not words used in our board room I’d imagine.

RandomGuy Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 The likes of Alston and McMillan were wanted by half the teams in this league when we signed them. Same with Scougall. Browns an easy target, maybe folk should be questioning why we've got the likes of Watson earning a fortune on a two year deal before calling for the chairman's head.

Agree with this, our signing policy is haphazard at best. The thinking out side the box should come from picking up the phone to Jody Morris (or may be someone else in the seldom used contact book) and see if he has a winger we can borrow for a few months. The crude we hear about needing to know the league and Scottish football is tiresome as other teams (Hibs) have managed okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Michael O’Halloran doesn’t make the Rangers squad today with Bruno Alves, Graham Dorrans, Ryan Jack, Ross McCrorie, Kenny Miller, Jordan Rossiter and Lee Wallace all still to come back, you have got to imagine that he will be up for grabs...

Radford 72 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Tomorrow night is huge in terms of the window. Progression is probably worth about £50,000, which is an extra player you'd expect, or some smashing infrastructure. Dave Ferg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 We all know deep down that nobody is coming. Was it Storey who was due to sign for us until the chairman shortened the length of the contract at the 11th hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Storey and Sammon have mainly been poor for Thistle, not scoring and have been benched as Thistle were stuck around the bottom of the table. However because both have perked up a bit in the last few games they have apparently become world class players we missed out on. I love a good bit of revisionism.

We've been crying out for someone else with raw pace like Storey has. That's twice he's absolutely roasted a Saints defender resulting in goals. Thistle should have scored after about 40 seconds yesterday as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace is undoubtedly needed but MOH was meant to provide that. We needed more than that though. Storey and Sammon were mooted as part of the jewel hunt, the much vaunted goal scorer that was long overdue and solve problems. Both were slagged when mentioned in the summer and until recently did absolutely nothing at Thistle to disprove this. Just because they've had decent spells in a couple of games against us doesn't suddenly make them better players than they actually are. The evidence is there to see with their season long records. I'm not losing sleep over not signing them. It's more worrying we make them look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammon has six goals and three assists, and Storey has three goals in five assists. That's nine goals and eight goals they've been involved in. Our highest is Liam Craig who has three goals and five assists. Sammons six goals would make him out top scorer, Storeys assists would make him out joint top assist maker. Any further clues how "the full season" shows they wouldn't be an improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Only Ross County have scored less. The form table is a shocker. We really are in danger of "doing a Hibs". The small comfort against this awful pain, is at last a realisation from TW that Ando, Macca, Spoony et al are no longer SPFL quality.

Saline Saint Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Sammon yesterday looked to be giving Ando the speech play wind up a la Frazer Wright with Cifti at Parkhead.Thats how confident a cart horse like Sammon was that Ando was there for the taking.

I don’t think TW has realised that though, or they wouldn’t keep starting games. As much as I think Ando And Macca are not cut out for this level anymore, they both still have parts to play. If we weren’t such a streamlined club, you’d keep your record appearance holder and Wiley old striker involved behind the scenes coaching others and generally being club ambassadors. Its actually a shame for fans to start giving them pelters given what they have contributed and both give 100% every game, but it’s tommy and Callum’s jobs to identify their slide and rectify or replace. Spoony frustrates so much though. Bags of talent there, but we can’t rely on a once in four of five outstanding performance and dross the rest of the time. I get the feeling that the intentions is to see out the season and build again for next season, which is fair enough if we can see out the season without getting relegated which is looking harder and harder each game.
