Mr Bunny Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Cardle and Fitzpatrick I think are capable of playing a more central role (advance midfield, even off the striker) but of course they'll have more competition in the midfield area.

No problem with anyone voicing their opinion but if you get it wrong spectacularly cine back on the forum and be contrite. I can remember a few anti McDonald forum posters coming back on sheepishly.

Gotta disagree Mr B. re Cardle. Aiden is young enough to learn and develop to play more than just wide right. Joe is a one trick pony regards position. Fortunately he is very good at cutting in from wide left. He does I admit score/shoot from the positions you mention but always from drifting in from the left.

I was one of the fans who didn't think McDonald would do a job for us. Because he hadn't played since the end of the 17/18 season and I also thought his media work would also make it harder for him to do a good job for us. He proved me wrong and I was very happy to say so on the forum, although I don't think I came on sheepishly to do it. I also found out when I presented him with the Robert Watson player of the year trophy that he is a very nice guy and he was more than happy to chat with my wife and I about Robert. We also got some great photo's with us, Scott and the trophy. I hope Kenny does a very good job for us because he is playing for Thistle and no matter what team/teams a player has played for in the past as soon as they start playing for us I want them to do well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree he is a wide player only, with out left being his favoured role, but I think he can do a job on both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norgethistle Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I really hope he gets goals and still has the legs to last the majority of the game, but my gut tells me it won’t happen. I stated when we signed MacDonald that he’d get 10 as I knew how fit he was from my mate who coaches withMotherwell plus I’d heard nothing but praise of his character. Miller doesn’t have the same character or fitness/stamina, but is a different style of player.

I liked your interview on Jagzone and I like what I hear from you in your frequent Sportsound contributions. The fires are still burning bright and I can give quite a few examples of sportsmen who go on successfully much longer than average. I think you labour the point, and it is a good one, that your ideas align well the manager's, too. Go for it! And I hope you enjoy your time at Firhill because the club needs all the geeing up that people can give it. Good positive post sir. How many times have we signed a multi million pound player who has shone in the champions league. Im caring less about his age with every negative post. I loved dools and still do but things with us had gone stale. While im not comparing like for like we and he needed a change and this new guy has scored goals everywhere he's been. I know this is not a long term signing but could be crucial in the short term. He has a scoring track record. None of the other striker we have do. I still remember his lone up front performances for Scotland and it's not an understatement to say he was an outstanding contributor to the national team over many years. We need this attitude from the off next season to counter so many p1ss poor starts we have had over the last 5 seasons. Mon jags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier League here we come. Was my immediate gut reaction too. However, I'll make the assumption for the present that Caldo is not acting out of desperation and that this is part of the plan. We still appear rather light on the striker front, perhaps Caldo's game priority is to set us up to be 'hard to beat'. The proof of the pudding etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Good signing. KM has always been a great player. I'm weirdly chuffed that he's playing for the jags, even if it's his last season as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi Nurainen Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I don't think, by any stretch, he will be a disaster, my concern is more with seeing Mansell's strike rate improving (KM may be the key to that), and getting another, more established, striker on board. Not long now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinistar Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 It's curious (and rather tiring) how often Archie's mistakes get used to justify GC's decisions. AA got us promoted and into the top 6 - the best times I have had as Jag fan out with the Lambie years. There's no way on earth our current manager will achieve anything near this, I just don't see it. Ask for signing Kenny Miller, I don't know any Thistle fan who would have willingly replaced Doolan for Kenny Miller. I've read all the views of those supportive of GC and their justifications for him binning Doolan, but no, not for me thanks. I believe a lot of ill feeling still resonates amongst fans about this. When the next manager arrives it would be a master stroke for them to resign Doolan, especially if he does well at Ayr this season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he will be as good as McDonald but at this stage it’s simply too early to say. fact is in terms of signings Caldwell has done better than Archie at least albeit in only one transfer window each player he signed bar Harkins and Roy were an improvement, Archies signings for the most part last season looked like they had been picked out a lucky dip. In McDonald Caldwell brought in someone Archie could not do in 5 years an out and out goal scorer. time will tell whether he reaches top 6 but given he has only been here 6 months it’s too early to tell, was it not 4 years or so before Archie managed it Edited June 30, 2019 by Third Lanark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said before I personally am starting the season with a clean slate and hope everyone else can do likewise. I'd hate for the new season to be a re hash of all the bad blood and perceived blunders of last season. If criticism is due I sure hope it is for fresh reasons and the past isnt used. That said I hope it's a winning streak from the off and the forum is full of positivity. You are right with the doolan aspect of the post but can we try and move on from it. We can't change what has happened, and let's not forget but move on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
