Third Lanark Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 4 minutes ago, Lenziejag said: I was speculating that if we had a bigger budget at the start of the season we might have had a better quality squad. Today was the 1st time I have seen the new players. Saunders was ok, but tired towards the end. Hazard wasn’t great at the goal and spilled another shot later. Had nothing to do other than that. Not convinced he is better than Sneddon I thought hazard had a cracking save in the first half that sneddon would have struggled with And bell definitely would not have made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really are having a laugh Caldwell. one of our Floodlights should read #Justleave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair assumption and I wouldn't imagine it's far from the truth. Just like to point out that you, me, Jacqui Lowe, indeed no one knows the player budget pecking order. The best anyone can do is have an educated guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely dwarfed the likes of Ayr and Alloa yet look at the players they signed in comparison to the ones we signed As Archie suggested in a preseason interview (can't find link) we left recruitment to the last minute. So we may have had the budget but lacked the competence to sign his preferred targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Some folk on this thread are delusional! For what it's worth we have played better the last 2 games with GC signings included. We ain't amazing but at Utd that was a good point and bar some amazing saves by their keeper would have won. Today i am sure we would have won if not for the Harkins red card which was soft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're bottom of the championship and probably at best now hoping for a playoff spot and everyone is is 'delusional' for believing that its not good enough? Waiting to mid-february in a league that finishes at the end of April is a hell of a gamble. We're going down if we don't act now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No folk are delusional thinking we would not be where we are if Archie was still here! It is his shite that got us there. Caldwells new players have got us a decent point at Utd and if not for some bad luck (ie no penalty and the soft red card) we would have won today.

allyo Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 This season's win percentage under Archibald was 37% and he got sacked, rightly. Gary Caldwell's is 8%, with the same squad. Im not a fan if win percentages as a measure, but it's still pretty damning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
