I think Jim has a lot to still to do to oprove that he is the man for the job. Everyone who sat and watched Utd during the hiccup and witnessed the same slow pedestrian football and the like for like substituting whilst calling out for a change were quite right to question if he was the man for the job and only with the forced changes due to the injuries to the first choice centre half pairing did performances improve.

This. I really don’t think Goodwin is the man for the job(post split games proved this). But who would we get? Young up and coming manager which is a huge gamble or A.N. Other from the Scottish football merry go round ie: Jack Ross type. I really thought Ross would be the man for the job but it might just have been one of the most disastrous appointments we’ve ever made. So it’s gonna be Goodwin till a bad sticky spell.

Charlie telfer has grown in to a excellent centre midfielder

 
Aye he’s looked very good this year with Airdrie. Funny how him and Cammy Ballantyne - two players who were deemed not good enough for United - have been integral parts of a team who have arguably played much better football than us at times this year.

First time we played Airdrie at Tannadice, they bored the shit out of me, passing the ba about at the back from side to side, but the other three times we’ve played them they’ve looked very good.

Seems weird to say this after winning the league, but i think Airdrie have a better manager then us.
 

McCabe has been described by many as a manager who sets his teams up to play one way and one way only (attractive passing football) and this is seen to be a positive aspect of his management style.

Not long ago, sections of our support were (sometimes rightly) slating our previous mangers for not knowing how to play against different opposition.  We now have Goodwin who has shown on occasions that he can adapt our play to suit different opposition,

I'm not here saying one management style is right and the other is wrong, I just find the 'grass is always greener' approach that some fan have quite funny.

Yes. But I also heard we've agreed a pre contract with Jack McMillan from Partick.

The funsters have taken a Dutch centre half on trial, I imagine there’s been crossed wires somewhere on that rumour.

Nah, they have Robin Lathaouwers on trial.

Not sure he’s much better than Grimshaw but if we do sign him I’ll hold off.

If raith don’t come up, we have to enquire about Dabrowski, he’s an outstanding goalkeeper, he is so similar to Benji it’s actually mental

Wasn't Shaun Rooney a total bombscare who had the season of his life when no-one was allowed to see it?

 
Signed a 2 year deal for 5th place St Mirren and Europe.

Hearing Motherwell Dunfermline Ayr and Airdrie interested in Mochrie, if he signs before the end of the month would we not get any Development at all ?

Totally agree. I actually thought he was still on Hibs books, can't believe they released him last Summer.

Would definitely take him. Yeah we'd pay a fee but it would be worth it. 
 

 
X 3. Every game against us he came up with big saves and was excellent. People keep saying he got released by Hibs. But so what…so many players get released for whatever reason and then go on and improve as they get older. Andy Robertson for example.

-1, be careful what you wish for.

Saw on Twitter some talk of Scott McMann being wanted by Dundee…

Looks like KV Oostende are going into liquidation. Might be worth a look at for any potential good players.

I hope the Sainties stay up just for the sake of Tayside we'll have 25% of the league.
So it could be depending whether it's County or Rovers -
Tayside & Fife 3 or 4
West but not Weegie 3
Weegie 2
Edinburgh 2
North 1 or 2
or -
East 7
West 5
