SlickDT Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 TW also said a game or two ago that those that kept making excuses will be dropped- not seen that happen yet!? There always seems to have been certain player he seems happier to drop to the bench regularly and then there is certain players that are given extra faith.

People who know me, I'm pretty loyal, I've protected them long enough. Maybe they should look at themselves and pick themselves up. I'm not accepting that performance. Some of them maybe think since their under contract they'll be here next season, that might not be the case" O'Halloran & Swanson paid off for starters.

I drew flack for suggesting we shouldn't be throwing big money at MOH but he just isn't the same player we had before he jumped ship to Sevco.

Guest ScottMann Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I think we're seeing why MOH got a two and a half year deal, using this half season to get him properly fit and knock the rustiness off him after such a long spell injured/gameless.

Cagey Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Badly needed next season. Right back left back. Holding & creative midfielder. Striker. Don't think there is anyone coming through youth system & not sure McCann & McClean can be more than squad players so we will have to offload a few to bring in at least 5. I would tell Swanson & O'Halloran they can find another club. Allow Watt to return to his PlayStation. Hope Joe is going to Dons. Alston going to Dundee.Goss to return to parent club immediately. Let Ando stay with Partick. I am sure there are a few others like Comrie who I like but has lost his way that will be allowed to go. Lot of work for Wright to do between now & July.

Linky Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Striker and central midfielder are the key positions to fill. Let Watt & Swanson go. Joe needs to be replaced at the back if he is leaving. I’d like to see a older, calm head at the back to help the younger players. Someone like Aaron Hughes from Hearts comes to mind. Tony Andreu is a player I’ve admired in the past, although hasn’t been good at Hamilton this season. Could he refind some form? I think the striker needs to be someone with a big presence. We need a bit more muscle up front for MOH to play off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still keep Ando for another season as cover if he agrees, Alston I would like to see get another contract if only for a year. Watt is a conundrum - I still think he has a lot to offer but wouldn't be be too disappointed if he went providing we can find a quality replacement - and not May!

I get the feeling Anderson won't be happy at playing back-up, hence the reason he is currently at Partick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt. Col Kojak Slaphead II Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 Biggest stumbling block in our attempts to re-sign Joe has been the fact he is represented by his Dad, who by all accounts has proved a massive stumbling block in any attempted deal. Deal is on the table from Aberdeen but I think Joe is holding out for a potential move down South. one thing is for certain, he will not be at Saints next year I do not think.
