    I for one don’t think we are in the sh*t, I think the coffers have taken a right dunt, but hopefully this season will see them recover though it might take a season or three to achieve this. And why shouldn’t we be on track for top 6 when we weren’t that far away last season, so it’s fair to surmise or even plan to achieve it this season. As I said on a previous thread, top six and with a wee bit luck a good cup run should be what we want this time out, Europe and a trophy the season after 😉
    I'm reading every positive post to keep my spirits up but all I see is a flickering neon sign with the word deluded on it

    A team i love was on the slide,
    backed to phuck by altanyirhide,
    we met in the highlands and had a ball,
    and unlike Noah we were in Dingwall.

    My understanding was that TA being a football agent had an excellent series of connections globally.

    I am trying to remember whom he brought in and have probably missed a few but:

    The good:
    Jeando Fuchs - probably our best midfielder
    Ryan Edwards - solid centre half and a threat at set pieces
    Lawrence Shankland - great signing
    Liam Smith - solid and consistent right back

    The average
    Adrian Sporle - can be hit or miss
    Mark Connolly - tries really hard but prone to a huge mistake that usually leads to a goal
    Mark Reynolds - had some ok games but can be slow and lethargic
    Luke Bolton - was on a loan and started okay but fell out of favour very quickly after a few poor / avg performances
    mark McNulty - felt for him as seemed to be played out of position a lot though seemed to come on t a game towards the end of his loan spell

    The not v good:
    Peter Pawlett - I struggle to remember him having a good game and not being injured. Was surprised we gave him a new deal.
    Osman Sow - a trier but was injured a lot and struggled
    Dillon Powers - the master of the negative pass though he did score a screamer
    Adam King - can only remember a few sub appearances for him but cant remember him doing anything

    He was that anonymous that i thought King was signed before this era! Think Aiden Nesbitt was also part of the initial recovery plan and where is Harkes?

    I think a very good section can be added that contains Edwards and Fuchs

    The good contains Shankland, but through no fault of his and i would put Reynolds in there as well. McNulty just scrapes it in here as its wasnt his fault to be played out of position.

    Average, im more inclined to put L Smith in there the more time goes by, and i would have put Sporle up to good if he played more.

    I consider so many as not very good though, and Harkes, Connolly, Pawlett, Bolton and Powers(as much as i liked him!) were/are all bang average.

    King, Nesbitt and Sow, deary me!
