  1. Seems strange not playing Mcgree when we are without the likes of Rogers and Crooks now. I can only assume he has a knock that kept him out last week and on the bench this week. Even if the rumours are true he has played great when called upon and will only benefit him more in doing so from now and for the rest of the season. Also great to see Dieng back on the bench. I didn't have any idea how long he was out for so it's good to see him back in the squad.
  2. Aye no complaints about Crooks he has done the club a great service on and off the pitch. I think he offered more than people gave him credit for. That 1st season with us he was brilliant and bar his ill timed suspension we could potentially have made the playoffs that season. I also remember this assist from that season. 264112423_4551447208265024_2064854013941455780_n.mp4
  3. It's a shame as I seem to remember some good reviews on him prior to the injury sustained. Although he was named uncomfortably similar to another keeper of ours.
  4. He rattled Celtic fans more than Rangers fans could ever dream of.
  5. Was anything of note said at the meet and greet last night. I have seen a few photos with Carrick and Gibson both in attendance.
  6. Well I didn't see this one coming at least for this time. He's been a great servant for the club although never quite reached the levels of his first season. He has contributed a great amount on and off the pitch over his time here. It does make you wonder if there is one or two free transfers in the pipeline as losing Crooks, Kavanagh and Rogers seems quite a gamble considering the injuries we are carrying.
  7. I think our forward line this year has highlighted how difficult it has been to replace key positions. If we got rid of Howson, there's a hood chance it's going to be difficult to keep hold of Hackney. We also lose O'Brien and unlikely to keep Mcnair. That leaves us with Barlaser and Crooks. That's a lot of pressure to find replacements and could be quite expensive when we already need to find at least one good forward. Howson shouldn't be seen as first choice but we could be left very short in depth and quality next season in a key position. At least Howson could plug part of that gap.
  8. Definitely keep him for another year. Obviously with the idea he is more a squad player than 1st team regular. With us looking likely to losing Hackney and O'Brien it would ease the pressure on recruiting in that area with us not having to pay over the odds and panic buy to replace them.
  9. It would be nice if they decided to score a few of them at home
  10. Uwe Fuchs should come back and finish the story he began.
  11. I think in some cases some may not need replacing given who is currently out injured. You could argue Smith comes in for Ayling but Ayling may stay on a free if he performs this season. I think Coburn will have his 'make or break' season next year. Mcnair has rarely played and with Lenihan coming back could be seen as a replacement. Howson I agree is probably going to need replacing although can see him getting a new extension but more bit part next season. I think Hackney and O'Brien will probably need replacing although O'Brien may be Hackney's replacement if he is sold in th
  12. I think today we showed what a decent side we are on the ball and to be honest should be talking about a well earned win. Glovers error was poor but what was worse was again how our whole defence gets dragged to one side without watching their man. Glover should have saved it yet their player should never have been in so much space to shoot. I won't criticise the subs as 2 appeared to be injured/struggling and I wanted O'Brien to come on. I think today highlighted how we really needed another forward this window. Coburn who I do rate doesn't look fit and Lath is still nowhere
  13. It's probably due to Mcgree playing on Friday and most of the tournament whereas Silvera hasn't. Although I'd have put him on the bench bar an injury.
  14. I'm worried that Forss smile celebration may come back to haunt us at some point against Sunderland. Although I think we will get a result tomorrow. Best case scenario Sunderland go ahead and we win 2 or 3-1
  15. God help the lino tonight if he's eating a sandwich.
  16. Aye pretty much this. With the automatics more or less done and dusted for us. It leaves 2 play off spots and with 2 premier league relegated teams possibly occupying the other 2. So it's a far tougher scenario than last seasons. I think had the automatics still been a possibility we would have gambled a bit more than we have. I think the big task will be to try and convince Hackney and Mcgree to another season and with the Rogers money may allow a better crack at it next season.
  17. https://x.com/KENDEL839048932/status/1753105726611021914?s=20 Maybe if we had such 'creativity' with chants he might have stayed with us 🙄😒
  18. Just for the panickers. Didn't Ramsey sign out of the blue last January right at the end of the window.
  19. Guedioura springs to mind here. The ultimate panic buy for a position we didn't need. I do think we will need a forward by tomorrow to challenge the top 6 considering. As it seems Coburn could probably do with having the surgery and Lath obviously form and injury this season limits what we have in an attacking sense. That said I hope we don't panic buy for the sake of it as the Rogers money could go along way in the summer.
  20. I wouldn't be against a little gamble on Langstaff if its for as little as £1.5m. Although I can see it becoming the new Marcus Maddison link every window. I don't know much about him other than his goalscoring and he's a Boro fan but seems he is a great finisher. The question would be would it be detrimental to the way we play if he can't offer the other bits expected of the strikers.
  21. There's a player in the Belarusian league called Rajko Purovic I'm aware we have shown interest in the past
  22. We managed to sell Lumley for nothing which was good business on our part
