    Well I can't remember anything from his first season apart from punching Torres in the head in his debut.

    Maybe he greased them with haggis juices or something before he went on the pitch

    I can't remember them now but I remember reeling off a long list of mistakes a few times and losing all confidence in him around half way through the season.

    Something he liked to do was go to the byline and wait for the ball to go out but get caught by an attacker first.

    I've never really bad mouthed McGregor and I've always liked him for his gamesmanship. But enough's enough now.

    Think it would be best for both parties if we get ourselves a replacement.

    Agreed.

    He's never had a commanding presence. Doesnt seem to have the arrogance/confidence needed to be a top keeper.

    Its time to bring in a new keeper and have mcgregor as no.2.. Bruce cant afford to keep backing him when he's making mistakes every couple of games.

    Whilst it wasnt important at the time, he made a mistake in a pre-season friendly.. fumbling at an easy save..

    Pay the money, get Bentley or someone similar.

    You can say a lot of things about McGregor but lack of confidence? Comes across too confident to me if anything.

    Really? I always see him as uncomfortable in the spotlight.
    Has he ever acknowledged the ten birds a night song?

    In the past I've stuck up for McGregor then found myself unable to stick up for him but still wouldn't criticise him but now I've got to say that he's just not good enough

    That's because his first season he hardly put a foot wrong. The punching Torres in the head/penalty/saving penalty incifent was about it. Bruce kept him in the team last season far too long. For me he came back from his kidney injury far too soon and maybe mentally it took its toll. Coupled with his relationship breakdown that could explain a lot. McGregor is a great keeper. He can be again.

    Could well have influence, not so much the women, but his daughter he had with her, maybe she is playing hard ball in him getting to see her.

    Nah it's great.

    Good to have a proper lad in the team and acknowledge his fantastic achievements.

    Just a shame he's not as good at his job.

    Total balls up. Shame because he saved the long range one he's famous for conceding.

    We should be looking at a new keeper, before the next game preferably.

    He has not been the same player since Diame crocked him at West Ham .
