Hendo Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I see Darren McGregor isn't in the Hibs side just now. Played under Stubbs too. Would certainly fit the bill of an experienced central defender. I bet someone will now come along to say he's injured just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo_j Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I see Stewart and Muirhead are both training with Killie. So probably the end of our chances. Weren’t we linked with Muirhead back in January? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we cannot compete with clubs like Killie and clubs at our level then we really are struggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My observation still stands though. We are not equipped for this league as things stand. We have failed to strengthen sufficiently and time has run out in this window. Disappointing.

However, it seems our preferred targets have largely signed for other clubs or stayed where they are. So, on the balance of probabilities and based on the signings to -date, it appears to have been a sub optimal window for Alan and his team and us. This likely outcome may be a good starting point for GLS to evaluate. Alan seemed to have made good signings for Hibs. Was that down to him or did he have help? If he had help then get that guy in or provide help in some other way before January. Darren and Pat are not Alan's usual team. Maybe that needs looked at?

Why would he ?" Cammy see's what 99.5% of all St Mirren fans see. Who could blame him for wanting to leave if that is the case. Who wants to be miserable going into work each morning knowing you work hard but not recognised by the management. Cammy goes we can not afford a replacement with his quality. It's not like you LP to go against the grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Why don't we save the McGinn windfall as a contribution towards our parachute payment when we return to the Championship at the end of this season, rather than waste it on 39 year-old has beens or 3rd rate 'never-will-bes'? That way we might get ourselves into a position where we have enough quality in the squad to win promotion and be better prepared than the state JR left us in at the end of last season. Last season was a pleasure to support St Mirren when we won more games than we lost - this season is a nightmare already. However it is obvious now we came up before we were ready.

If we cannot compete with clubs like Killie and clubs at our level then we really are struggling. Sugar daddy or not, they made more than a million more than we did from league placing last season, and a million more the previous year (£1.3m vs £200k, based on those figures below). I'm aware that club's budget ahead and gamble on their predicted positions, but it's easy to see where their turnover is coming from. We could be where they are now if we hadn't appointed Tommy Craig when we did. We had a midfield that contained McLean, McGinn and Mallan that season. Our relegation was f**king scandalous. We absolutely must stay up this season or we'll be back to square -1 again. Edited August 28, 2018 by Magic Monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
