JJ McG 4,267 Report post Posted November 20, 2012 Not necessarily a sign that anyone is leaving. It's what St Mirren do. We sign midfielders. Lots of em'. Left backs, commanding centre backs, a striker? No siree. Midfielders... More, I demand more. We could do with 2 commanding centre backs. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
class of 76-77 2,830 Report post Posted November 20, 2012 A wee bird told me that Robertson could be heading to an SFL side on a loan deal with the option to move on a permanent basis, would make sense as the boy seems to be hopelessly out of his depth at this level, shame really as he seems like a nice lad. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mainstand Sweary Mob 81 Report post Posted November 20, 2012 Well I hope if players come in they are decent. I'd like centre backs that can defend as well as someone with a bit of dig in the midfield rather than some of the ghosts we have. Wouldn't mind some wingers that will take a man on and maybe cross a ball, but that's my wish list. It Will never happen though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony A 771 Report post Posted November 20, 2012 Midfielder lined to come in on loan in January, does this suggest that McLean and/or McGowan will move on? Well, at least we know it's not going to be Mr Dorman.... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
strbumelmac 37 Report post Posted November 21, 2012 The midfield changes that often, Robertson has not had a chance to settle in the first team. He needs time to bed in and then he will settle into a good back to front midfield player. The prancing pony that is Mclean needs to make way for someone who's willing to do a shift and put the foot in when it's needed. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The prancing pony that is Mclean needs to make way for someone who's willing to do a shift and put the foot in when it's needed. McLean scores goals, unlike pretty much anyone else in our midfield right now, and IMO will out score any midfielder between now and the end of the season. Yes we need to battle to win games, but we also need quality players that compliment the hard workers, It may not be popular but based on what else we have currently (excluding Gowser) Kenny would be one of the first names on my teamsheet right now. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianp 6 Report post Posted November 22, 2012 Lately both Carey and McLean have been contributing very little and I'm not just talking about the quality of their play. Both have been lacking in application, in fact I would say "lack of effort" has been the comments from fans in our area of the stadium. It will never be the case that all selected will have good games, but the least we can expect is 100%, come on lads let's see it on Saturday. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He needs time to bed in and then he will settle into a good back to front midfield player. No offence to Robertson who seems like a nice guy but on Saturday we had a guy five years younger with no first team experience make his debut and looked miles better than anything Robertson has produced in the numerous chances that he has had. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you mean Barron? After last night I would give him more game time as I thought he was excellent considering the nightmare of his last game. Parkin and Carey would be no loss if they can be replaced. Dont think any signing has disappointed me so much as that of Carey. Imrie can still offer us something I think but inconsistent however we do need a squad and I would hold on to him for now. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
