And exactly how many times did he play against us that warrants this judgment? 😵‍💫

Did we score against them in that game or did he make error?

[robsterwood]

He scored against well in 2021 . A game they won and also scored in win against real bets shortly after. But must have been poor as jwfanclubbsaid. Must take a lot time impres that dude.

He's not even played a minute for us yet - surely he needs to play about five minutes before he gets slagged off/told a youth player/someone who sits in the Hunter stand could do better

He might turn out to be our best centre-back in years but my issue is that we could lose him for between three and six games against a team that we almost always get beaten by.

C'mon where have u been for the last 17 years. You should know by now how it works on here.

It would be churlish to suggest we have had anything else other than a successful window, but I am a little disappointed we let Wilson go out on loan without a replacement.

He may have his deficiencies, ,but in my eyes at least he was a decent enough back up, in the same way Halliday is for the midfield spots.

I guess if JBA doesnt rate him and the boy wants to play, fair enough. He might yet develop with more first team football at Raith.

Just not convinced that we have adequate cover if anything happens to Longelo as we would be looking at SOD, McGinn or Halliday in there.

As for the rest of the squad. Midfield is excellent. Wide areas look good. Up front remains to be seen but at least  Maswanhise is scoring for now.

GK needs to settle down with either Ox being given a shot to see if he can do any better or just standing by Ward in the hope he can iron out the mistakes.

Good first window for JBA. Still some weaknesses to address, but we are gonna be fun to watch and hopefulky we ecan get enough wins to allow him time to build.

Perhaps a clause in the loan agreement that we can bring him back anytime if needed or specifically if Longellonis out for a period??

Pretty sure we could recall him as he's still our player

😂 apparently I tend to hit the n key instead of the space button but normally I see it and correct it but since I haven’t finished my coffee yet I’m obviously not very alert.

Aye that would certainly make sense.

I think a return clause can be in any loan deal but that any return can only be made in a transfer window. So January is the earliest Wilson could be recalled. There can be an exemption for goalkeepers if SPFL authorise emergency cover. But that does not apply to outfield players. 

Scottish youngsters can now move back and forward as long as they are loaned to a lower league Club under the new Partnership scheme. Raith are not our 'partners' so that rules out that possibility.

You’re probably right 

[weeyin]

Wilson's loan only runs until January - although they are often extended.
