Personally just hope that for the first time in living memory we can do our business early and have a team in place for the start of the season. Not running about 3 or 4 games in still trying to plug gaps.

McKirdy joined Swindon last summer following his release by Port Vale, and has made a big impact during his time at The County Ground.
The 25-year-old has scored 19 goals and provided nine assists in 38 appearances in all competitions for the Robins since the start of the campaign, helping them to 11th place in the League Two standings, four points adrift of the play-offs

JET Released by Aberdeen.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

No idea of his ability but he has plenty of character and personality about him!
His Instagram captions are a good read
I hope we get him because you just know he’d score against hearts and rangers.

Experience and character are what’s missing from this squad of players. Only 5 years ago we had players like Cummings, SJM, Bartley, Keatings, Holt, Fontaine, McGeouch, Henderson, Fyvie, all players who got the club, had personality, a point to prove, and actually relished a derby and wanted it before a ball was kicked.
When we were drawn against Hearts, these players had the ‘bring it on’ battle cry, whereas now, I just get the impression they don’t have the same inner confidence and minerals to take games to them or any of the top sides.
It’s a very ‘nice’ squad of players who you don’t get the impression have the inner strength to play through a knock, battle hard, trust in their ability. The lack of leadership through the spine of the side is alarming,
That’s what needs addressed in summer, getting in and identifying players who have a combination of getting their career back on a positive track, proven experience in the battle, and introducing youthful zest and creativity around that.
It’s very reminiscent of when we lost the bulk of the golden generation, Derek, Scott, Garry, etc., and went for the likes of Kerr, Gatheussi, Rankin, O’Brien, Curier, and O’Hanlon.
The recruitment has only ever been consistently good during Stubbs reign this decade, (arguably some of Lennon’s reign) and even before that, as above, we’ve failed to build on success and re-investing funds properly,
Ron and team have taken their eyes off the most important thing, the team, and instead had too much emphasis on off field activities and commerce. Yes, both are linked, but the commercial side should be commensurate to what’s on the pitch, not to the detriment of it.
The second priority for Ron is rebuilding the disconnect with supporters and that’s going to take some charm offensive to get fans back on side. His decision making has been really poor this year, and his blueprint for success that he laid out re-drawn and contain more achievable goals and targets.

Not a player transfer, but I see we've brought in Livi's club secretary as "Head of Football Operations" from the summer.

From Wiki “ He has been criticised for his temperament, particularly in regards to his reactions to jeering by fans both on the pitch and on social media.”

Just reading up on McKirdy, quite an odd career to date.
25 years old, not played a huge amount of games and was released last season then went on trial to Swindon where he has since scored 18 goals this season and got 8 assists. Never played higher than league 2 and his goal scoring hasn’t been overly impressive elsewhere.
I was expecting a flair player to play one of the positions behind the striker (unsure if it’s because he’s trying to look like Grealish), but going by his goals this season a lot seem to be tap ins and him being alert in the box.
Does show a bit of pace in the second link however.

We’ve done well scouting league 2 of late with the signings of Doidge and Jasper so I’d be willing to trust the recruitment team.
Personally if we were signing a ‘9’ to play the lone striker role I’d prefer someone a lot more physical with pace, similar to Simms at Hearts. Unless McKirdy would play behind in one of the attacking positions but like I say he doesn’t look like that player based on the clips.
I wonder how he compared to a Charles Cook and Alan Forrest who have similarly had the best seasons of their career. Both of them are also out of contract where as we would need a fee for McKirdy.

Pretty sure he scored against City in the cup a couple months back.
