Conor McCarthy - confirmed

[StanleySaint]

Not great news but might tempt him to sign the contract extension?

[munoz]

Hopefully Dunne can finally have a long injury free period. Thought he looked good last Saturday. 

Conor will be a big miss though.

Hard to tell, a factor could be how we do over the next 5/6 weeks, although he'll probably have made his decision by now.

Dunne is good and was good when he came on. Problem is with his chocolate and balsa wood legs he won't string 3 games together. Which is a shame.

For me McCarthy has been poor this season but got his chance when Dunne was out.

I can see us moving for a CH in January. Until then Tait can fill in left side CH when the inevitable Dunne injury occurs.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but this might be Dunne's chance to shine with his injuries a thing of the past.

I sincerely hope he stays fit. He is a fine player at this level. Solid in the tackle, quick, big, imposing and loves a 50 yard diagonal. Odd brain fart and injury record aside he's a class act.

He's had this long freak injury that's now sorted. So it's maybe understandable that he's had a few minor setbacks while getting his body back used to being a full time pro. Hopefully that's all it is and he gets a good run. Fingers crossed [emoji1696]

Exactly what we are going to need over the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Was Finlayson's loan deal all season with an option to recall in Jan?

That article says season long deal, though it may not mention every minute detail such as recall options.

Cheers @Cookie Monster I had thought that with McCarthy likely to go in Jan that JG had sent Finlayson out for game time to recall him if required, I think Cammy's loan is also subject to recall.

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Cammy MacPherson has joined St Johnstone on loan until the end of the season.

The Buddies will have the option to recall the midfielder in January and he will be unable to play against St Mirren.

Boooooo!

Seriously though, I hope he does well for them.

Yes, me too, would have liked to have kept him, apart from the probable increase in money this does seem a bit of a sideways move but it may pay off if he does well for them.

[guinness]

No great loss. Made too many mistakes. Was sometimes good but not reliable.

That’s pretty much how I rated him. I think he’s a good player but too many brain farts for my liking.

Funnily enough I’d rate Dunne almost exactly the same.

Good luck to Connor at Barnsley. If Dunne would give up trying to be Beckenbauer with long passes he would further improve.

[Wilbur]

100% good luck to him. 

He did a turn for us without ever being a superstar. I'm not sure if he has enough to make the grade at his new level, but no reason not to hope he thrives there.

Was he out of contract? Did we get anything for him?

Out of contract. 

Good luck to him, was a decent player for us.

[Callum Gilhooley]

Good luck to the lad,  wish him well. 👍⚽️

[HSS]

Anybuddie who scored a winner against sevco will always have a place in my heart ❤️ 

Good luck Conor 🏁

[stlucifer]

A good defender but it always worried me that he didn't seem to be able to clear a ball with his head. I It always went straight up in the air. Good luck to the lad.
