It wasn't really the fault of recruitment - two out of our three fastest players spent the better part of the season injured, so instead of a trifecta of Horgan, Agyepong and Boyle terrifying the opposing defence, it was mostly down to just Horgan.Quote:

Unfortunately near enough all of them were injured at some point of the season.
Hyndman was a huge disappointment as I thought I would be brilliant.
Aygepong looked very good in cameo appearances but with him we knew he had a track record of injuries.
.............................................Marci ano/Bogdan/Laidlaw............
Gray/whittikar......McGregor/Efe......Porteous/Hanlon......Stevenson/Nelom
..........................Mallan/Slivka.......Milligan/Bartley.....
Boyle/Aygepong...............Hyndman/Murray..........Horgan/
.......................................Kamberi/MacLaren/Shaw.......
Looks strong if all fit and playing to there best. Also shows we heavily backed Lennon financially.

Am I right in saying this one came from Alan Nixon?Quote:

In fairness, his story was that we were interested in him, not that he was signing for us. We could well have been interested without him actually signing.Quote:

I asked Hecky at the Hibs Club the night of the Q & A with him and Stockdale (when he told us about the friendlies that had still to be announced) if the Carlisle friendly was part of the deal for Devitt as it had been rumoured prior to that night. He said "we're not interested in Devitt"Quote:

Looks like a few clubs with maybe a bit more money to spend than us looking at him which is unfortunate. Not surprised Hearts are looking at him as he's 6'3. Here is the usual YouTube realQuote:

Looks like he played further forward last season which would explain his 1 in 2 ratio. Will be tough to get him going by the other teams interested.Quote:

Could well be, I was just going by Keith Downie’s description. If he played midfield and scored that many it’s even more impressive.Quote:

I hope it's genuine though, could be a very useful player with something completely different to the rest of our midfield options.
