many a time he drifted out of a game for 30-40 mins. Offered nothing defence wise. Will be missed yes, but only at the times we are in free flowing attacking football when we are controlling a game. When push comes to shove, for grit and defensive cover, he wasn't there.
That might be the case... Its just all a bit odd when the chairman sacks the manager for not getting players in because money is available.</p> 2 days later then sells our most saleable entity.</p>
Maybe <font face="verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Someone thinks defensive qualities are what is required from our midfield?</font></p> Maybe good as he sometimes was, on balance, he was not what we need.</p>
I completely agree, its mistifying, would rather have kept him, but was trying to point out a different side to his game that has to be fair led to more pressure on defence and leaking goals. But, all in all, we should be strengthening, and building on what we have, not fookin aboot like we are. Rid of Manager, 4 in 2 out, not exactly getting "stable" are we. But hopefully, the quoted "BIG plans over the next few weeks", are something to hope for. Gives us all somat to moan about and discuss though dunt it.ff
Would he have carried on playing "out of his skin"? No doubting he was a good for us, but it looked to me like he was "playing for a move" all along.</p> He's worked hard and good luck to him. Hopefully, we will get a few quid (and an able replacement).</p> Incidentally, I agree with Spartacus (who may have been playing Devil's advocate), but many on here have stated that BOTH Devaney & McIndoe in the team was NOT a good idea.</p>
