Albanian Buddy Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: I’m not at all worried about Ross County. If it’s a loan, Brophy won’t be scoring any goals against us and if he scores a few against our rivals for top 6 I’ll be delighted. If I was going to be concerned at all (which I probably wouldn’t be) it would be if he signed for the likes of Livingston or St. Johnstone. Maybe decades of struggle have taken their toll on me, but I’m still looking at the table and seeing that we are only 7 points off the play off spot. We are in a poor slump of form right now. We missed a great opportunity against Hearts to get more points on board. I don’t think our head to head record against teams in the lower half of the table is very good. It’s important that we get back on track. However we just don’t score enough goals to win matches. If we lose Brophy to anyone in the league he will likely hit a spell of good form.

If we lose Brophy to anyone in the league he will likely hit a spell of good form. We're not in great form but we've only lost 2 of our last 8 and both of those were away to teams in the top three. Just 1 win in that run though, with 5 draws. Stating the obvious but if we can find a way of converting more of those draws into wins then a top six place is there for us. The flip side of course is also true. If we slide the other way and those draws become losses then we'll quickly find ourselves in bother. Such is the fine lines of this league. Shipping Brophy out should significantly ease our cash flow issues, assuming County are going to pick up the majority of his eye watering wage. The Celtic cup money will also provide comfort I think and hopefully mean we don't need to lose anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose Brophy to anyone in the league he will likely hit a spell of good form. I agree with everything in your post except the last sentence. I don’t expect Brophy to set the heather on fire anywhere and I certainly don’t expect him to be the saviour that drags County out of the mire. Sure if he gets played every single week he’ll probably score some goals here and there, but if he finishes the season with more than 5 or 6 goals I’d be surprised. I still predict that the likes of Main and Ayunga will score more than him over the season. As for our recent form, another way to look at it is that we’ve slightly arrested our dismal away form with the draws at Livi and Kilmarnock and a narrow (and perhaps unfair) defeat away to Hearts who are flying and gubbing teams right left and centre. Only the skelping off Celtic should go into the very disappointing category, but let’s be honest, that could happen to any team. I do agree though that we need to start putting some wins together. In terms of fixtures, I think we’ve just come through a period of “tough” games, but we are now entering a run of very winnable games and we need to start picking up more points during the upcoming period.

Shipping Brophy out should significantly ease our cash flow issues, assuming County are going to pick up the majority of his eye watering wage. The Celtic cup money will also provide comfort I think and hopefully mean we don't need to lose anyone else.That was the main reason for our lofty position a couple of months ago we had hardly drew a match and with a higher percentage of wins than normal we were well up the league. Fast forward those couple of months and we are back to being the highest team for draws in the league (something I think we were last season too). I keep referring to Nisbet in nearly every post these days but Hibs were gash last 2 league games but had a striker(unlike ours) who calmly slotted in 5 goals to get 4 points when in all reality they hardly deserved more than 1.

Saint@Johnstone Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 No idea where goals might come from, but we have to beat Motherwell on Saturday or else I fear we will end up in or near the play off spot. I do hope, though, that Robinson does not try for a loan player from the lower leagues in England. That hasn’t ,and never will, be successful.

I’d be looking for a fair bit more than 400k that’s for sure Aye, lots of players were at the World Cup but, with the utmost respect, apart from the Argentina game, he was sub and hardly set the heather on fire. Time will tell but some of the numbers thrown about on another thread are just, frankly, pure fantasy. In the FIFA World Cup season 2022, Keanu Baccus played 1 match (plus 3 as a sub). They had 0 shots on target from a total of 0 shots and scored 0 goals (0.05 xG). Keanu Baccus averaged 12 passes per match with a pass completion rate of 67%, and had 0 assists. Keanu Baccus received 0 yellow cards and 0 red cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he's been our best midfielder this season, I'd give that to O'Hara. I wouldn't even say he's been our best Australian this season, i'd give that to Strain. If anyone wants to give us £400k for him we should absolutely take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
