Moult and Aarons was in large part due to the amount of players available late on in the transfer window. The poor recruitment of GA during pre season didn't leave much on the table for Hammell to deal with. FWIW although I'm supportive of brining players back, it needs to be those who were decent first time around. Im all for Phil, McDonald, McFadden coming back. Aarons, Lawless, Toastie etc not so much.

I'm with you @weeyin. I don't know the stats but many clubs have previous players return. It's reasonable for players to have an affiliation with a club and return for a 2nd period of their career. For as long as I can remember we have a reputation of being a friendly club that looks after and cares about players. Personal view this is something to celebrate , I struggle to see why some are keen to villanise the approach, particularly when many of those returning have been of excellent quality.

The purist in my agrees - top club gets promoted and 2nd top gets the play off . that said the championship had nearly all teams playing for something til the last game . As much as there’s a lack of fairness it at least keeps everything interesting for as long as possible .

Very true - Owen Coyle is a good example of a lightweight who was good enough .

I like Cornelius , has a good attitude, local lad and works his socks off. Adds a bit of energy. Primary concern is he's now 22, has been around the first team for 5 years and hasn't held down a regular first team place. Although a different type of player it's similar to Maguire. Good local lad who perhaps won't quite make it in the SPL.

cracking goal , he certainly has the skill. If he's able to sharpen up and better time challenges he'll be a great asset.

agree with that. It's clear that he has many good qualities and a good person to have around. Sadly his positional sense and lack of timing aren't amongst these qualities, which costs him and the team points. He's probably do well in the championship, he could be on of RC's first signings

I don’t mind SOD, think he’s ok in the new format but over 3 years he’s not been worthy of a first team start . Like many I don’t know when or how he got an extension . we have a ridiculous squad size. I’d much prefer we only re-sign regular starters. fringe players unless young and just coming through should leave .

There’s not much wrong with our current starting 11 . Retain most of them them , offload the others who are bloating our wage bill would be a good foundation .

Now is a a good time to be as ruthless as we can . money for kvv will pay off some of our recent losses offload all the players who are out of contract , none of the strikers are good enough . say thanks and goodbye to Cornelius and Glenys out of contract . put out the Morris’s , shields etc out on loan to championship clubs or anyone who’ll have them .

Agree that McGhee was excellent first time around . Had us playing some terrific football . Even mcgarry looked like a top player GAs style was horrendous , somehow we managed to win games and went on a long streak playing the worst footy ever and got to 4th . the club extended his contract knowing how poor the style of footy was - the blame lies with the club rather than GA . He was always quite up front about his approach .

Maybes aye - he’s the one that stood out for all the wrong reasons .

Not that there was much doubt . Defensively we’re not the same without Butcher and Casey . without them we’ve slipped back into being a much easier team to score against

Good luck to GA. No need to wish him or previous managers anything other than best wishes . He got us out of trouble . Did his best and ultimately left the club when things didn’t work out . He has only ever spoken positively about the club . appreciate its frustrating when things don’t go well but I’ve no issue with any of our recent gaffers . Happy to wish him well for future endeavours .

In all honesty last few games have been poor on the eye but the points keep rolling in . keeps the final game interesting

A fit Moult is a quality player. He also cares about the club and would likely take the pay as you play deal. I'm pro any decent "well player coming back, appreciate not everyone is. For me Faddy, Pearson, McDonald, Hammell, Lasley, Craggs are all good examples. Phil Odonnel returned when he was 32, another player written off due to injuries. , yet in his twighlight years was nothing short of superb and put in a further 77 appearances. Who's to say Moult wouldn't be similar. Having quality pros around, even if they play half the games are good for the first team + all the youngsters who can learn.

Im slightly concerned that SK thinks Mandron is someone to keep around. He speaks very highly of both Mandron and Obika. Both big physical boys who work hard but neither will bring in lots of goals. Be interesting to see what transpires over the closed season.

poor ref poor game poor moving forward. great result

Pretty dreadful game - be nice to see some of the other attacking options come off the bench

Pretty poor game - any moment of quality will one this one

I’d have liked to see Cornelius back in the team . Personally believe he’s better than Paton ,

think the winners medal may have cheered him up

I can see why you felt like this. I had the innocence of youth, I thought it was a fore gone conclusion that no matter what we'd win. Got to extra time and my dad + uncle were a bag of nerves . Told them to calm down, Kirk hadn't scored yet and sure enough. If had to replay the events as an adult I don't think my nerves would be able to handle it. Lasting memory was to have a sea of "well fans around me in glasgow and then back at FP. Will never forget the sheer volume of Claret & Amber.

When the Well went up to lift the Scottish Cup we were there , we were there. Best football day of my life.

I was delighted we brought him on loan and he was one of the very few positive players under Hammel . He’s a very decent footballer and will likely go to a bigger club than us . Appears he isn’t rated sufficiently mixed with not fitting current formation .
