Yes i was there but one game doesn't constitute a life-time...yes he helped us stay up but was a very average footballer imo. Liked to run across park never looking up with the ball at his feet. Was a great servant to Saint's but far from a great player. Did ok in 1st division which was always his level...

Played nearly all his career in 1st division....controversial but was never a great fan...

I'm not going anywhere with it..just my opion on Shuggie...was a great servant to club but average i thought...

Agreed. Like Mark Yardley who I thought at the time was a great player all his best work was done outwith the top league and didn't really shine when in the top league. 
Jim Goodwin did shine in the top league and for that reason was in my opinion a better player than Yardley or Murray. Same applies to Stephen Thompson. A better player who performed well in the top league. 
Yardley and Murray were certainly true to the cause and popular but no one else was interested in taking them from us. 

Nonsense,  the allegations were about him being supposedly out his depth and not up to the task. These same allegations have been directed at OK also. People these days want instant results and if they don't get what they want, they seem to lash out at anyone within firing line. 

The Duck has got something about him. He's mad as a box of tracksuits, but I reckon he's got the makings of a cult hero.

I would like to see some consistency of selection. Saturday was spot on in tactics . Oran is alos learning. Regardless he HAS to stay

I keep telling the wife that. 

I take your point (and didn't see those games) but will add that there's been lots of people playing in their 'correct' positions this season who haven't been much good 
Bear in mind it can depend who you're playing with, who's behind and alongside you, etc. I think it'd be worth a go. 
In fairness, 4-3-3 is due to come up in Oran's formation tombola at some point soon anyway... 

Think we can put to bed the notion that this squad is no better than it was pre-window.

Hearts next week leaves us in a similar situation but out of that, we'll get a bit more cohesion by time the games come against teams around us. Livi on March 2nd is going to be f**king massive.

Very good unexpected point, just hope the injuries aren't too bad. Well done Saints.

Well done Oran, 2-2 at Pittodrie. Perhaps all your new signings aren't worse than Stubbsy's signing after all. Not long until we hit a run of games where we have a more realistic chance of picking up more points.

I rarely come on now. Too many dafties among the good posters.

I think that now we have all our signings in,and most should be at a decent level of fitness, we should see more consistency in team selection. Hladky, Popescu and Musek are all certain starters due to their performances so far. I wouldn't bet against the new right back making that slot his own as well sooner rather than later, giving us decent defence. Up front I would expect Nazon and Jackson to start most games, with Nazon preferred over Jackson.
Midfield is the area that still provides most problems. Many were pleased with Tansey's signing, and most of those have now written him off completely. He is still a good player, and could still offer something, but we need the likes of McPherson, Lyons and Erhahon to give us energy in the midfield, with the likes of Dreyer and McAllister providing creativity.
I'm not writing us off yet. I'm aware that this patience will be alien to some on this thread, but I've been over this course before and would rather have hope than resignation to see me through.

My money is literally on OK to come good. My season ticket money now looks to being better spent with the players we have. The new structure has, in my opinion, helped to bring in a higher quality of player and there is now competition for places. It's all about points on the board however. No season for the faint hearted. A tough fight to the end of the season lies ahead.
