January window

[shedka]

Read elsewhere we are signing Jack Alnwick, ex Rangers and St Mirren keeper

Hopefully true, means we are addressing the obvious key issue if the season so far, sure I also read something about Kuch is going to a Cypriot club

Time will tell

[geofoxposse]

FFS i will be speaking to the chairman at Pafos to make sure Kuch doesnt come anywhere near.........

1 clean sheet in last 14
Every team above us have conceded less

This is why we are bottom 5 and is shocking considering for majority of the 90+ mins Jim sets us up to defend.

When he does decide to take the shackles off we look like a top 6 side evidenced by the fact only 4 above us have scored more.

Window priorities by end of Jan may be obvious but what is obvious to me is Jim is short changing us by not playing to our strengths and is in fact playing 90% of matches doing the exact opposite.
Jim has in the main only picked up points when he's been forced to change.
He should not be in charge for the reasons above.
The Aberdeen result on last day of season bought him credits but Jim's overall post split record gives me the fear.
Ogren is another who is reactive when forced, he is not ruthless.
Now if Jim changes his approach and gets lucky in the window, it could be a sliding doors.
In my opinion if Ogren has any ambition to make this club successful, he needs to be proactive and recognise Jim has reached his level and get someone better.
Easier said than done? Yes, but my fear is this transfer window may cement us being in bottom 6 this season.

I just hope that in the next window he doesnt find a real licker to top up the keeper department. His Keeper choices have been terrible.

But in general there is something wrong with the medical and training regime. too many players injured with muscle and ligament problems it point to warm up, prep etc.

A real licker? Is that some sort of Cypriot term? Honestly, I have no idea.

[Whitfieldarab]

Need a goalie in 100%
Need a creative midfielder
Need a left back to push/cover Ferry

We have no loan signing spaces as we've used them all up so id punt Kucherenko,Eskisen,Dolcek and hand back Pappoe. Need to be ruthless here if we have any ambitions of top 6 and a good Scottish Cup run.

Walton was terrible?? In our top ten keepers ever potentially

Kuch has good attributes, unfortunately punching the ball into his own net twice is unacceptable

Id have Walton back in a heartbeat.

It's not so easy to just punt players who are on a contract though

[geofoxposse]

Walton is now history and we have what we have, these are JG choices. The keeper is currently completed for by 3 mediocre goalies and we need ambition and a top keeper.

Pay them off or punt them for impersonating a footballer.

Think we’re really limited this window due to us being at the max no of loans already this season. That’s why the Alnwick GK thing is more viable than Craig Gordon as he’s about to be out of contract and could be actually signed, be it 6 , 12, 24 whatever months. Think we’ll know for sure what’s happening if we take up the options and start to sign some of the current loanees, KK probably being the most obvious right now. That’s likely what will be the biggest indicator that a loanee is inbound. If Alnwick hasn’t been signed, then the Craig Gordon thing may become more possible………….

[weegiearab]

A read somewhere else that Alnwick is currently injured and is a wee bit away from returning to training. If that is the case, then surely we would be signing him with a view to him staying as he is likely out for about 1 month?

[TerryTheTerror]

Signing a goalkeeper that can't play? Sounds like us right enough.

Or a Japanese guy.
Needs a work permit?
No problem I hear you say 😄
