Hearing good reports about Cole McKinnon, I know a former first team coach there who still has links to the club and McColl told him that he is a good yin and has all the attributes.

True. He is delivering at thistle, imo has a very bright future.

John thanks for update on McKinnon yesterday, how close do you feel he is to first team? Or does he maybe need to go back on loan 2nd half of season?
Only seen him a couple of times he looks physically ready.

Bgate, issue for me at this stage would playing him hamper progress off mcann…. Personally I’d send McKinnon on loan to premier team.

There persists a rumour Davis May move in January,

I actually think Davis is hampering the progression of McCann. As much as I like Davis maybe this extra season is too big an ask? Put McGregor in that category too.

It should have been obvious for the club not to have given Mcgregor, Davis, and Arfield new contracts, we learnt no lesson from giving Defoe a new contract 12 months earlier, their contracts have done more harm than good.

Correct Bathgate.

Arfield arguably best player this season and well worth contract extension.

I'm sure I said when Davis and arfield signed that I think they might both go in January might change now with jack injury.

My worry is it’s easier to come into a rangers team that’s playing well. Airfield still contributes.

He's the 1 player outwith King, Lowry and McCann who I've been impressed with.

Arfield deserves to stay can't fault his work rate.

You can't win either way

Play experienced players get beat get slattered

Play youth get beat get slatteted

So who wins that debate definitely not gio or any other manager as said at the start they can't win either way.

Did you not see how horrendous the keeper who started the season was? McGregor at 50 yrs old will still be twice the keeper that numpty will ever be. Davis was the only one who got near Salah vs Liverpool, tracking back, almost getting a foot on the ball whilst Barisic and Davies were sitting there like a pair of sausages!
Arfield has been playing ok compared to the rest of the squad so in effect none of you wanted 3 of our best, most experienced players to stay on!

Gid yin.

There is no denying McGregor is a better keeper than McLaughlin however he is not getting any younger. What is apparent is we missed the boat by not signing anyone. GB never got any support from board they were too happy to give new contracts to older players who should have left the club. Also muck about with players who don't want to play for us, its simple you don't want to sign new contracts then you don't play.

Were too quick to jump on young talent. if Cole is playing well then leave him at thistle. another 15 games this season will do him good then next season either keep him at partick or try get him a move to spl team. On that note tho it's pointless being at spl team if he won't play.

Got to freshen things up mcalpine. Always sad to see great players come to the end of their careers but that's life. I'd love to be 30 again but I can't. So it's slippers and horlicks.

Davie, I think we need that move now re McKinnon, Newcastle to bid in January.

Leets be honest we have at least half of starting 11 injured. If it wasn’t for Arfield, Davis and McGregor still being on the books we would be out of running for league already IMO.
Arfield has had a good season IMO, McGregor has been our best GK and Davis is a decent squad player.
We expected to have Hagi back near start of season and out other number 10 Lawrence was doing well until injured too.
We have had at least 1 1st choice CB out most of season and numerous other injuries to squad.
We are still in contention in league with funds to strengthen in January by which time we might have 4 or 5 players back too.
It’s not all doom and gloom, Champions League has been hard to take but if we had our full squad we would have competed better but we have been unlucky to be in a group with best team in Europe in current form Napoli, Liverpool who have been in final 3/ 5 years and an Ajax team I think we would have competed with better if we didn’t have major problems in back 4 and GK in particular.
