CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 When you look at the deadwood already moved on against the quality of player already signed you have to give the management team top marks so far. Just those other couple of signings and some classy performances by the team and its almost back on track.Happy to believe allen has played his part in this so far.

It certainly wasn't made for petty shite-slinging. Wasn't meaning you mate Your thoughts pretty much echo my own but up to now I am still cautious and will reserve my glowing endorsements of his achievements until we see how this season pans out.

Don't think Allen can get much credit for that. the player was in full view of everybody . That said he defo gets pass marks from me ,one or 2 poor signings under his tenure but on a whole the playing staff seem a huge upgrade from before he came in No praise. Praise. No praise. Praise ?

There's a black and white element to this forum sometimes, some people are far too extreme either way in their views and it often makes threads pish tbh. I'm quietly optimistic for the season ahead.

I'm quietly optimistic for the season ahead. What I hate is when an average/poor player has a good game or maybe two and all the threads go up like they are trying to create something positive to hold on to. and I also hate when some more talented players (seen it with Mendes a lot) had a bad game and he was called everything under the sun when the shouty people forget that even the most talented of players have bad games and they forget what they can actually offer us when playing well.

Colin Traive 23,285 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Regardless of how well Barisic does, we have undergone a transformation in next to no time. Foderingham, Hodson, Cardoso, Alves, Martin, Pena, Holt, Krancjar, Waghorn, Cummings, Herrera. Subs Wallace, Goss, Bates, Garner A full team of dross gone (or going) and we now have : McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Katic, Barisic, Flanagan, Jack, Coulibaly, Arfield, Candieas, Morelos. Subs Alnwick, Simpson (young CB from Bournemouth on his away by all accounts), Wallace, Dorrans, Rossiter, Murphy, Kent, Ejaria. Night And fucking day. Well done all concerned ?

I think that's true of Tavernier - he looked good in a team that was pish and now that the team has massively improved he's looking a lot weaker. I suppose you could argue that Jack has improved due to the standard of player around him but I'll have to wait and see if he does it consistently. If we sell Windass and get Lafferty/Another striker and a creative midfielder I'll be very pleased with our business this window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
