Hibs interested in Mallan

[EastStandRed]

Maybe Esr but I wish we could have been kept a bit more informed, instead of leaving us to think we'd made a big mistake in signing him. I agree that we as a club and Hecky should stick together for the whole season at least, and next month is going to be the most important January window we've ever seen. They seem to get bigger and more important every year dont they, and especially now that we know we've got a bit of muck and brass to spend for once!.

He spoke about him in interviews saying he had a lot to do at first , then that he was starting to impress in the U23s and then that there was a pathway for him to the first team when he was ready . He also said he had a thigh strain for a few weeks. Mallans Dad also said it was a bigger step up than they thought.

I don’t think he’s suited to playing in a 4 man midfield either, plays better behind a loan striker but then Bradshaw struggles in that role and the other strikers are pants.

[Acido]

Well Ugbo is pants I agree, but once again I dont think Thiam has had a fair chance so its hard to judge him. Do you think we'll go after McBurnsley again ?.

[EastStandRed]

Yes but the situation at Swansea could have changed things again

[Acido]

I dont suppose we can choose to 'mutually' end some of these loans can we, are we stuck with messrs Ugbo & Gardener for the whole season. And speaking of season long loan deals, Im guessing that we've seen the back of Mowatt now.
I hope we make the effort in this window and dont make the usual mistakes of signing unknown and untested kids, who need nearly a full season to begin with to get used to this league.

[SBRed48]

Maybe, but your not allowed to even entertain such thoughts on here Ponty.

Tha can spout whatever b0ll0cks tha wants on here Acido (as long as it is within the basic rules).

It's nivva stopped thee.

I think it's fornicating scandalous that we're speculating over a player leaving for Hibs when we've only seen him once and that rarest of rare occasions the lad looked quite good and might be what we've been missing.

What's Hecky been doing for last ump**** months? I hope to God he get's his p45. The bloke hasn't got a clue.

I want Mallan to stay. He's what we're missing.

[EastStandRed]

I want Mallan to stay , he sounds a good player but I’ve only seen him once live .You can understand him being down the pecking order though , he was quite cheap compared to the other players we’ve bought for the similar position. Give Mowatt a chance , play Moncur , play McGeehan , Potts played behind a loan striker. These all cost twice , three times even four times as much , whoever Hecky doesn’t play there’s a clamour for him to play them .

Plenty on here can do a better job than Hecky , nowt to worry about if Hecky gets the peddler .

In fact I'm thinking the west yorkshire pair could team up together .

Only problem I see is that acido will be left to manage the team on his own in the second half should we fall behind before half time .


Other than that it should be a smooth transition .

[Jules88]

Are we building or What? Keep the young ones we have and let them develop.
Sign old heads, but keep the youth now. Apart from a goal we played ok.
Mallan showed enough to warrant another 6 months. I think he will do well.

This board is all about opinions , nobody says Hecky can't be challenged but clearly what one or two of you don't like is when you yourself get challenged too , mainly because most of the time you can't defend your opinions credibly .

You can't even offer up a replacement who you think can do the job any better , replace Hecky ? , then what like ? , run the team without anybody ? , wibble wibble innit .

I'd challenge you in your own place of work to do what you do in 40 hours only to have that cut by half and still be expected to produce the same amount and standard then get slagged off when you can't .

The last feckin clown who sat in the managers office couldn't win a game in league one to save his life , soon as he fecked off , hey presto , there were 9k reds on suicide watch enduring the shyte his team produced .

Don't even get me started on Daniel Halo , never looked like keeping us up or getting us back up , this clown couldn't even control a dressing room from what I heard despite his so called experience .

Hecky may not be the very best , yes he's got flaws but I'll tell you this much he bleeds this club , he's one of us in charge , when the going got rough he didn't feck off like Mark Robins did , no he stuck around and gave it a go .

The difficulty this season is unprecedented , even Keef had a bit of familiarity and a spine of a team .

If the players aren't good enough , what do you expect him to do if the transfer window is shut , he's one voice in the recruitment process working to a small budget .

I actually don't know how we have the points we have to tell the truth with what's occurred this season .

Rant over .
