Summer 2026 - Transfer Rumours and Discussions.

Jesus wept, was there any real need to delve into the history books to find examples of when a teed up free kick has worked.

I was mearly pointing out that you failed to mention the most memorable set peice from yesterday.

Overall since Peter Murphy came to the club our set peices have been disappointing.

Now maybe it is just the lack of quality of finishing but I have no idea what Murphy brings to the table.
Interesting that at Everton Murphy was out on the touch line barking orders for pretty much every dead ball including throw ins. Devine at one point looked like he told him to fuck off as he was stood over a free kick near the halfway line. Yesterday he wasn’t to be seen. He just seems to add to the confusion when our lads are taking set pieces.

I would get shut of him. Can’t remember a single “original” set piece since he has been here that has resulted in a goal.
 
Again, I agree, but the original comment to which I responded was referring to yesterday’s match, not the last few years.
So why bring in video clips from previous years?
So you acknowledge that one poor free kick was down to the taker, as opposed to the fact he set it first to work the angle. We’re getting somewhere.
It was a shit freek kick, I don't really care who was at fault but it matches a pattern
I don’t, so you’re telling fibs. I often found myself defending him because he’s a decent champ midfielder, though with clear limitations.
You believe he is a far better footballer than what most other fans believe. Yet everyone else is in the wrong and therefore deserve to he patronised.
It goes without saying Leroy, from 30 minutes, looks an upgrade.
Agreed.
 
Can’t remember the last time we scored or went close with a free kick ….maybe the performance of the set piece coach should be looked at?
Whilst we’re at it what about the GK coach after Iversen’s shocker and the forwards coach after multiple offsides?
No one should be let off without at least reviewing what a shambles it was at times.
The commentator said we didn’t score from a direct free kick all of last season. Is Gally available as set piece coach?

I totally agree ….our set pieces are feckin awful and the one you’re describing that Devine normally takes from the half way line probably sums up the whole sorry package.
 
Is it possible we try and insert an option to buy in the McConnell deal? He'll be 23 in September of next season so I don't think it's impossible, and with the takeover looking likely...
 
Not unless Potts or Pol move on.
How Potts got an extension to his contract is a mystery to me. His injury record over the last 3 seasons hasn't been too good and he has missed a lot of games.

I agree I think the guy is clueless and just up for sideline antics.
 
Personally think an out and out LB is more of a priority than a CB. Vuk is great going forward but pretty crap defensively, definitely more of a wingback. Hughes should be absolutely nowhere near LB.
Wouldn’t mind us going after Will Ferry from Dundee Utd, only got a year left and would be an upgrade on what we have.
