Lobey_Dosser Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Our performances have been so inept, we could sign Ronaldo and Messi and I'd still no be sure about us staying up. However, Skippy is one of my all time favourite and would welcome his return. Not only for his quality but his character. Last I read mind you, he was playing in midfield for Millwall.

Yoshi-1991 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Going to hold my excitement off on this one. Just don't feel signing him would turn us around enough, hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domeski7 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Reckon Skippy & Sutton would form a brilliant partnership. Would compliment each others style of play. Get a flat 4-4-2 formation, get the wingers playing where they should be. Then try sort the defence out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Up For It! Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Exactly the sort of player we need. Hope he hits the ground running. We badly need someone to get some goals (if it is true of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Never thought I would see the day I could possibly be cheering on McManus, Pearson & skippy in a motherwell team! If you are over the age of mid teens you should've already cheered on all three of them in a motherwell team at some point in your supporting career.

daver Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Would hopefully bring an improvement in link up play but I'm pinning my hopes on Pearson being the new signing that will make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'll reserve judgement on what sort of impact he'll make when I see how much weight he's carrying.... Agree about Pearson, he was exactly what we were missing, and was a blow having him out injured so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malky79 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Also reckon Pearson is more key but McDonald has a wealth of experience and ability to put the ball away, a tremendous signing if it comes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Excellent signing and it is one of the things we need (as well as a decent centre half!!).

Inthebasement Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 All in favour of Skippy's return, and makes sense as we were looking to bring in a striker in Jan. Its a number 10 we have been desperately short of this season, having thrown about six different players in there with hardly a goal or assist to show for it. Most notably Ainsworth, Law, OJ and Erwin, none of whom are natural there. As noted above, Skippy has the know how to link our reluctant midfield with our isolated number 9.

ONeils40yarder Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 There was a time when I never thought I'd be delighted to see this wee prick return to Fir Park, but if he signs for us until the end of the season I WILL be delighted.

That will all be forgotten about though if he manages to score the goals that keep us in the top flight.

With the best will in the World, Sutton has been shite, but he has had no service, what will be different for Skippy? 1. Yes, according to a Millwall supporting friend he was fit but just not producing goals for them. He reckons that was more down to the supporting cast. 2. Pearson, Johnson and Dom Thomas are all creative enough (I'm basing Johnson on reports from down south, but I don't know how serious his injury is) to get balls to Sutton/McDonald to deliver scoring chances. As others have mentioned, McDonald is a welcome addition; a proven goalscorer. The thing we need more than anything in the run in is Pearson to get & stay fit and provide us with the link between defense and attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... TAM Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 The club are certainly doing everything they can to back Barra.

Really hope he ditches that and just goes for a straight 4-4-2 with Skippy & Sutton up front, and Pearson & Lasley in the middle.,, ...and Straker not even on the bench!
