New signings welcome - but will incoming boss want them?
The Killie game closed the curtain on a dismal season and demonstrated why we were relegated. It's also goodbye to Danny Wilson, who put in a good shift over the past few years and was there giving 100 per cent at the end too, which is a credit to his professionalism.
[BBC] The Killie game closed the curtain on a dismal season and demonstrated why we were relegated. We played well for large parts of the game, with Stevie May rolling back the years with a turbo-charged performance. Then we were all over the place, gifted goals, and self‑imploded to be miles off it at the end.
The big news before the game was players who were due to leave the club said they'd rather not play in case of injury. I can understand the fear of an injury that scuppers a potential move and impacts your livelihood, but in how many other jobs would you get paid while asking not to do your work? I guess it's goodbye and see you later from those guys.
It's also goodbye to Danny Wilson, who put in a good shift over the past few years and was there giving 100 per cent at the end too, which is a credit to his professionalism. There have also been a few signings announced by the club, which is a real positive. There's a lot of experience incoming with Sam Nicholson and Liam Polworth.
If we learned one thing from the "mature" signings we dragged out of retirement, it's that we also need young legs who are willing to put the hard yards in. I'm very keen to see what winger Tyrese Sinclair and young Arbroath defender Jack Wilkie will bring. It's clear now that we are recruiting for a coach who will have to be on board with someone else's signings.
