TopCat 6,033 Report post Posted January 19, 2017 Welcome aboard etc.I've been pleasantly surprised by how good a window we are having so far. Jack has got rid of a lot of duds and his signings seem decent enough on paper.I had a sinking feeling he was going to stick with the two useless keepers we have till the end of the season. It's great news that he's decided that they aren't good enough and made a move.I hope and expect that Billy will be our number 1 between now and May. Let's hope he's better than the last goalie we had on loan from an EPL team...

Balmullo Bud 662 Report post Posted January 19, 2017 According to Man City website, Pep Guardiola has been impressed by his distribution, ball handling and coming for crosses. That's why he was included in the squad for their Champions League tie against Celtic. Sounds encouraging. 3 Mr Zo, Isle Of Bute Saint and Paisley brazilians reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, he's played League One level in England pretty much solidly since leaving Swansea so he can't actually have been THAT bad. 1 BuddieinEK reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, he's played League One level in England pretty much solidly since leaving Swansea so he can't actually have been THAT bad.He was hopeless for us, he played like a nervous boy. I think we lost every single game he played in from memory, and things only started getting better when Dilo came in. Surprised he's went on to better things as I hadn't kept up with his career. Maybe he benefitted from the experience of getting beat every week 2 ScotstounSaint and portmahomack saint reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping for a left back No it isn't. Jack said that Gallacher had a chance to cement himself as the club's first choice keeper after Langfield's horrible mistake against Dumbarton and if he took his chance, would be the club's number 1 going forward. We've played 11 games since then, 10 of them with Gallacher in goals and not only hasn't he established himself but he's proven (IMO) to be even worse! It's absolutely the correct call to bring in a new keeper. 7 Mr Zo, Capitão, class of 76-77 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
