GIRUY 2021/22 Season

[57vintage]

Who on here didn't criticise Ojo? He was pretty dire up until this season. But fantastic that Glass has got him going.

Me.

Jings, you're clearly a man of some patience. I like to cut players a bit of slack, but he did little right for a very long time!

13 games, and not all of 90 minutes, before Glass has given him new responsibilities, I think the commentary on the first Hacken game said.

“Minutes” is the new cliché. Not sure how many he got, and the sending off for one bookable offence in that European game would have reduced them appreciably. Enough however, to see him vilified by the armchair Herreras in these here parts. I suppose at least it gave Andrew Considine a bit of respite.

Had fans’ reaction in 77-79 been listened to, Gordon Strachan would have been binned almost before he started. His debut was memorable though. Thanks, Ian Fleming. http://www.afcheritage.org/matches/f...8&squad=Senior

I certainly criticised him and good to see such a positive change. As Mason says perhaps though just bad man management previously. Who knows?

Me.

So fit about Matty Kennedy then 57v?

You showing the patience of a saint there too min.

Or is he just shyte...

He’s not good enough. He can’t get a cross beyond the first defender, lacks pace and any sort of guile that you’d expect from a winger. He looks like he’s happy to coast along, taking a wage, filling a jersey and contributing little. I’ve seen dozens of them since 1966. More importantly, he’d be a hindrance to the promise that Ramsay and McKenzie are showing as attacking full backs. If Goodwin wants him at St Mirren he can have him as far as I’m concerned.

I thought I saw promise in Ojo to begin with but he soon lost his way completely.
If he makes a comeback as a fans favorite then it'll be the biggest turnaround I've ever seen, and I include Strachan in that.
With Strachan, I think everyone knew he had the talent, it just wasn't working for him.
I wasn't short of shouting at him myself.

Kennedy is definitely on his way out anyway.

Yep, a fair summation min, agree with all of that.

If Goodwin wants him, off you pop son...

Off to St Mirren.
