    We could have signed one, we could have played McKenna along time ago. There were other options than Shinnie

    I thought McKenna done well when he started against fearts a few seasons ago but some people weren't too keen on him because he apparently was pysh for Ayr last season.

    He will have poor games being so young and inexperienced but I would rather play him than our 30 year old defenders who have poor games.

    He wasn't great for Alloa either but after today and after the last few seasons of Reynolds, he should definitely be considered centre half with Arnason.

    It's an ideal situation right now and it's exactly what a club like ours needs.

    Harvie has a knee injury at the moment , according to Deek.

    I'm sure he would have played him otherwise ?

    I think so too,the way I see it if you are inconsistent when you are 30 you are always going to be.But Russel Anderson was inconsistent in his early 20s so playing McKenna now when he is young and will have poor games might benefit us in the future.

    DM described McKenna as "an old fashioned centre half that attacks the ball".
    That's exactly what we need.
    He deserves a chance
    Arnie can play the calming influence.
    There's only one way we'll find out if he's good enough & we'll certainly know by the next 4-5 games, that's for sure.
    Reynolds has had ump**** chances.
    McKenna deserves his chance.
    My concern is that by most accounts he didn't look great on loan at Ayr or Alloa.

    It's all to do with maximising the fee when the Hun bid for him in January.

    McLean's been a terrific signing for us. He's not without his flaws, but he's still one of our most consistent performers. Don't know why he's getting stick for yesterday -- he had a very good game.

    I can't help but wonder if the Weegia stirring has coloured some of our fans' perceptions of McLean. Some of us seem to have just assumed that he's on his way in January or June. And he may go -- but let's cross that bridge when the time comes. Until then, I'd rather we get off his back. He's got a big role to play this season, but he seems to have been elected the new scapegoat (rather unfairly). We're a better team when we are all -- fans, players, management -- united.
