Not surprising news really. He had some moments but clearly not enough of them to put him at the front of the line and with a number of wide players being added for the coming season it probably makes sense for him to look for more regular football elsewhere and for us to use whatever portion of the wage budget he took up on a player that’s going to be more important to the first team.
Initially Darragh was one that I hoped would sign on again but I think the reality is Dougie has had him behind Broadfoot in the pecking order so it’s probably the best move for all concerned that he’s away. We should be looking to strengthen at the back and have someone that’s easily ahead of Broadfoot and Darragh should be looking to play every week and further his own career.
Have to agree. Something may click for him there that didn’t here, it happens. But if he was to have stayed here he would have had to accept his contribution would need a considerable increase to be anywhere near a regular starter. I don’t doubt his effort but trying your best isn’t always good enough in football.
Don’t think he actually left. Was just ‘frozen out’ and told he could find a new club I believe. I could be wrong of course but that’s what I thought the situation was.
Pepper is definitely a player I liked. Felt he done a decent job at right back considering it wasn’t his natural position and was gutted about his injury. Good to see him do well as it looked like his career was over at one point.
I was confused with the Robbie Muirhead one at the time based on the fact he had been booked for the tackle. My belief was that due to the booking there could be no action taken afterwards as the referee had acted. Had he missed it then I understand it can be looked at but as stated above I thought if the ref sees it then it’s done. The Robbie Muirhead one suggests that isn’t really the case then?
Did he play a competitive match for us? I recall something along the lines of him being involved in a game and got injured about 5 minutes in but was it a real game?
Pepper was a player I really quite liked and was gutted with how things went for him. Glad to hear he’s doing well elsewhere. Definitely had more about him than Telfer in my opinion.
Have to agree with this. A few moments in which he looked not bad but overall he did little to suggest to me he was of Championship level. Certainly doesn’t belong in the starting lineup of any team looking towards a promotion push to the top league.
