Hambud Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Excellent signing along with Stephen McGinn, the signings Ross is pulling off are fantastic for the level we are at, very positive considering we are bottom of the league. Looks like the club are really going for it this window to get us out this mess and I think we can do it [emoji4] I'm book marking this...[emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcdowell76 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 There was a lot of positive reaction to Alex Rae's signings in the summer so I'll reserve judgement on this transfer window untiI see some results. If we go with Loy & Sutton through the middle, this now leaves us with 2 number 10s, Smith & Mallan, playing wide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 if this was august and not January a believe we would be top of the table and not bottom,stay up and win Scottish cup and challenge cup,that will do me Loving this positivity - do you get it on prescription?

Clarkson.Shankland Hardy Walsh Hutton, No McKenzie and Gordon Meh Sutton Yes. more worrying than his signings what his failure to move on Webster, Langfield and Irvine. (Yes I know we still have them) and dumping Kelly and Goodwin without proper replacements lined up Edited January 26, 2017 by insaintee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but it think most of us had seen enough of Shankland last season to know he wasn't what we need especially after we saw the size of his backside. There were plenty that pointed out that Hardie had scored less goals the Shankland that season and that most of his goals came in two games against us. No one wanted Hutton, and Walsh meh at best. Either way there was hardly dancing in the street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gingero Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I'm sure Cammy Smith took & missed a penalty against us at Pittodrie in the shoot out on 30.10.12 when we went on to win the cup???Always liked him lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Only a couple of weeks ago you were saying Jack Ross was a disaster of an appointment and getting a dig in at him at every opportunity. Let's see where we are at the end of the season. Nothing's changed in that regard. The league form since he was appointed has been an absolute joke and our points total and position in the table reflects that. Thankfully the club have had a good window and he's got rid of a good few duds and replaced them with better players. There can now be no excuses. This is his team, if he can't keep us in the championship he has to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russian Saint Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Only a couple of weeks ago you were saying Jack Ross was a disaster of an appointment and getting a dig in at him at every opportunity. Let's see where we are at the end of the season. I believe (like most on here) that we expected to see an overnight improvement when Jack Ross took over. On paper we looked a strong side at the start of the season under Alex Rae, that however wasn't the case. Jack Ross has identified the strengths and weaknesses (more of the weaknesses than strengths) and addressed accordingly. Jack has basically stripped back the squad and now built HIS team on the budget allowed and I for one am very impressed with what he's done so far, all be it though it may not be 100% what he had in mind (players identified but couldn't sign and those identified he couldn't move out for one reason or another)So. In my opinion it's a clean slate for Jack and we should ALL get behind him now.Good luck to all at SMFC for the remainder of the season. Let's start moving up the league now.COYS.

No he wants to wait up until Jack gets us relegated and then sack him. Serious point no one should be under any delusions that we should have kept Rae This season Ross' league win rate is a disappointing 20% Rae's was an outstanding 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
