Well, the GM love-in didn't last long. One signing and people doubting his judgement already.Let's just wait a bit.
Holy crap. I'd rather have kept Mitchell. He epitomises everything that is wrong with basic keeping.He hardly ever came for crosses. Sometimes gesturing to go for them only to back off. There's nothing worse from a centre half's perspective not knowing whether your keeper is coming or staying put. I really had to question why he bothered wearing cloves. Like a wicket keeper who doesn't catch a ball. He doesn't command his area but shouts and waves his arms alot. A real panic merchant throwing himself about like a headless chicken. I really thought we'd seen the back of him.Not a good start.
F**king pathetic. The reaction to this signing that is. You all really need to give your heads a wobble. Who do you think we are? We’re in league 2. We won league 2 with him here. He’s older, he’s wiser and if he’s good enough for GM then he’s good enough for me. If this is the start of everyone’s reaction to everything Grant does then we’re doomed for failure. We have to contribute to the positivity. If everyone on his back from the start then the f**kwits out there will make him a bag of nerves and that suits no one.He’s a steady stopper for me and if this helps us spend bigger on a proper midfield and attack then so be it.To the bloke who thought Marosi was better you’ve made yourself look foolish with that alone.
Maybe McCann signed him for his distribution qualities. If we're getting the ball out quicker and moving forwards he'll have fewer shots to save!

We also need to get behind all the new players. No one should be condemned before they have even kicked a ball or saved a shot as in the case of Ian Lawlor.But have you forgotten how awful he was on crosses when last at DRFC. For a man of his size and stature he should have dominated his 6 yd box on crosses. He was very hesitant & indecisive to say the least and that is something that gives me considerable concern. It is obvious judging by many posts on here that I am not the only one who recalls him flapping at crosses on a regular basis. Now he maybe coming as a no 2 so that makes reasonable sense. If he is going to be 1st choice then we must assume and hope he has improved considerably since he departed us a few years ago.But I understand everyone’s concern 100% I do.

We either trust the manager or we piss and whine about everything he does.Embarrassing response on here

He was poor in his last spell, horrific at Oldham and didn’t really get a look in in Scotland. We are relying on some miracle improvement here.

Not an amazing record.So if you're right, why the love-in from so many people, and why the rocketing of ST sales?It seems some people are obviously judging him on one signing.
I’d say this is Grant is utilising the budget to get what he can, as cheap as possible, and in this case he knows and trusts him, so a calculated gamble. He will be looking to spend the greater amounts on key outfield areas. Protection of the keeper with quality in defence and midfield, as well as the most expensive signings (strikers) should help with any deficiencies in the keeper area. Then we build again next year, hopefully in a league above.A quality keeper is worth his weight in gold, but when a team is so bereft of quality, it would naturally be the last area you would look at ( in my opinion)
And a warm Donny welcome Ian! Damned before you start, poor lad.

Comment from my Dundee mate: Bloody hell, and you were buzzing with your new manager too. He was awful for us, couldn’t get a game in the Scots champ
