DelMonte Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 4 hours ago, Ten Caat said: He signed a new contract with Palace back in August so I'd think it's unlikely they're writing him off just yet. They loaned him to Wycombe immediately after this, supposedly for the full season but obv we have stepped in and Palace have chosen to recall him then loaned him to us. Presumably to see if he can cope playing at a higher level. He does turn 22 in about 8 weeks and you have to wonder if he hasn't made the breakthrough at Palace by now if he ever will. If the loan with us doesn't go well then you'd have to imagine he'll probably never make the step-up. I’m sorry to say this because I’ve fought the fight for the last few years. It’s simply not a higher level at the moment. Have watched a few championship team games this weekend in the FA cup and they are absolutely streets ahead of us. League 1 about level I’d say.

How much of that is down to the players and how much is down to the management/coaching? I think there are some very good players up here at most of the clubs outwith Glasgow (who given their resources can recruit players a cut above). But when i look at the management side of things, there's a serious drop off in quality. 1 Link to comment

Just look at Killie under Clarke 1 Link to comment

I think the problem is Scottish clubs aren’t willing to invest in quality managers. preferring to get ‘unknowns’ or inexperienced on cheap (or fossils) in hope that they ‘click’ Scottish football is a managerial Nursery for most part supplemented by a few managers looking for last wage before death Link to comment

Fair enough Yeah clubs aren’t willing to splash cash on quality manager because they’re all happy just to make book & maintain & that ‘should’ be very easy to do in Scotland with even the most basic of managers. All boils down to the fact that the arse cheeks have long since ruined the game to pretty much irreparable levels. Things need to change though & clubs on budgets like ours & the Edinburgh clubs need to make a point of dishing out to get in some real quality. Even at expense of a squad player or twos wages. Fossils are ok in some cases, if they are actual quality fossils. Link to comment

Fossils are ok in some cases, if they are actual quality fossils. I’ve said this before though. It is incumbent on Diddy Clubs to invest in players and coaches to hopefully reap some reward for that Club. Its not incumbent on them to make the League and Cup competitions more exciting for two Clubs. I appreciate the two aren’t mutually exclusive especially if European involvement is concerned. But ultimately you can be just Third or a distant third. You’re still 3rd. And yes of course I’d presently love to be 3rd. Link to comment

ahead on alphabet Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Dreadful player based on that first 45. Anticipating, timing of challenges, passing and movement just poor all round. Fits right in to this midfield. How anyone is looking at our side and thinking him and Dante Polvara are the answer is quite worrying. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 This guy is pish. To be expected though given he came from the mighty Wycombe Link to comment
Russell Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Looks like Lewis Ferguson from a distance. Physically, not ability wise. If we could merge him and Polvara in to a single player there might be a midfielder there. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Worked hard to be fair to him which helped the rest of the midfield. 1 Link to comment
Ke1t Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Thrown in at the deep end with no idea what to expect from the game up here. Was clearly struggling to find his feet, but again... not the game to be judging him, certainly not that first half. Link to comment
WesthillWanderersFC Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Not sure “no 10” is his position. Hard to judge on the first 45, when we were so passive & poor He improved 2nd half along with the rest of the team. Link to comment
