Football people with extensive dressing room experience at the club have pointed the finger at McDonald. Believing his own hype. Stirring things.
Sounds like a snake in the camp by what I'm hearing.
Credit to Csaba and Ellis for getting him to play well on Tuesday night. Althoigh I noticed no one acknowledged him when he was subbed.
What would each of us do if we had a snake amongst the crowd we were managing?
Mehmet yes for the champ as he has not had a chance this season, and i would at least like to see if he has something to offer. Another yes for Fyvie and a squad place for Slater and Gillespie, unless a better option is available.
Quinn, Flood and McDonald are all very close, or are at the end of their playing days.
Robson needs to give himself a good shake when a failed midfielding RB comes in at LB and shows you up! I fully expect he and Fraser will be off, although i would like to see Fraser here next season.
Mikkelsen has proved in 1 short spell that he can score goals, and has got a couple more this time, i just want to see what he can do if he can get a settled support. Working just now for McDonald, McMullan, King and Smith.
As for Briels, i think the lad is a player and a half, but with rumours of serious injury problems, we cant afford the luxury of the possibility he might return!
Fyvie
Stanton
Fraser
Moshni
Ralston haha
McMullen is a maybe
Stanton is signed up for next season is he no. Which is good. One of our best this squad.
If McMullen’s is up also then he would be a maybe for me. Has something but needs to screw the nut.
mcm and stanton are 2019. stanton at this level poss not above. mcm needs to - well as you said
If these are the players with contracts up I’d keep durnan, Robson, mosh, fyvie, fraser.
Maybe Mikk and McD too. Not if McD is a troublemaker though!
I’d keep these same of the out of contract players whichever division we are in.
Durnan does not look the most elegant player but he has kept us going a lot in the last couple of years. The number of times he makes key headers or puts his body on the line should be appreciated. We have needed him and he deserves to stay with us if we go up.
Maybe the question to be asked is which players would like to stay. Their effort at times suggests they don’t want to be here !
I’d clear the lot out and start again, probably tell Csaba to do it because if he’s allowed to hand out extended contracts it’ll be More Will Fud and Csaba’s new boys who don’t get a game that would be kept.
