proudtobeabuddy Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I fully expected Stephen to stay on but it's nice to have it confirmed. I can see him being with us for the rest of his playing career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His leadership, drive, enthusiasm, and commitment have been huge factors in the turnaround in our fortunes. Totally agree with this summary of Stephen's influence on the team. Has inspired the younger players and is well on his way to becoming a Saints legend. What am I saying? He IS a Saints legend! COYS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper07 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Who's signing next? The desire to know is growing.... Really hoping we get a fab squad for next year and really do amazing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Getting the club captain signed on a two year deal is a brilliant piece of work by JR and the Board. Hopefully might encourage some of the other players JR wants to keep to get on board ....if they haven’t already ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those attributes plus his consistency over the season are why I voted for Stephen as POTY. Absolutely delighted he has re-signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I wasn't at the game yesterday, but saw some people suggest we are struggling with a lack of leadership at the moment. I think the biggest thing OK needs to address is this, and pivotal to it is getting McGinn back to being the leader he has been the last two seasons. I just think his body language maybe indicates he's under pressure, and we need to get the player back who would snarl and not accept anything less than 100% from his teammates. He has probably been the main reason, outside JR, that we are in the SPL so we need that player, and captain, back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 And I hope bumping this back up doesn't lead to Top Cat having a go, though it probably will... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynn Edwards and I hate saying it Mcginn are out of their depth at this level. Only young McPherson put a shift and is probably on half the money than the other 3. Jackson was really the only bright spot. Hamill never really got a chance as he was injured early in the game. But schoolboy mistakes every week is costing us points. Certain players need to shape up our move aside. But I think OK will already know that. Keep the faith. Coys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both McGinn and Flynn have good experience in England and were SPL players before moving down south. Edwards has played two or three years in the SPL. I think the problem is all the players are too similar in style. We really need a good experienced ball winner in midfield, but I think we'll probably need to wait for January to get that. In the meantime I'd be tempted to change the style, possibly go more direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to as our captain and midfield engine but he's well off the pace at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t agree that McGinn isn’t good enough, he is playing poorly at present and needs to up his game though. Edwards runs about like a headless chicken, plenty of work rate but zero ability, Cammy Smith has ability and work rate so should be in the team before him everyday of the week.

I also think that S McGinn is good enough and that he is capable of playing better than he has been recently. Like some others, I would like to see a true ball winner in the middle of the park. I quite like Edwards but I also like Smith. Despite his youth we are missing Kyle. We also need to be more solid in front of Hodson who often seems to be left exposed.

Problem is we can't ship them all out as we already have too many players. January is huge for Kearney and will define our season. We need to shift as many out as possible. Kearney has a much better grasp of the type of player and standard we need as does Gus McPherson. The players Stubbs brought to the club is killing us, we need to stay as close to the pack as possible up til Jan and then Kearney and McPherson really have to get to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR gave McGinn a new two year contract and Flynn was signed with the SPL in mind. Nonsense to talk about them not being good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 The right type of midfielder could improve the whole team , what we need is a Ross Draper type player , a big guy who can win the majority of high balls in the midfield area , I,d even take a chance and play Josh Heaton there .

McGinn doesn't track back . . .he looked like he was limping on the sport scene highlights . .if so he should not be playing if not . . He should not be playing he needs a kick in the arse,he has been piss poor this season he is quite simply not a good leader until he starts to lead by example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's nonsense to suggest any of our players are not good enough as we've played 8 games, enough game time for people to form an opinion.
