    "One dimensional " is extremely harsh. What we were watching at the time was a very young lad breaking into the first team and very much proving his worth.  As a kid you follow to the letter the instructions you are given when you are given the opportunity.  There are plenty experienced one trick ponies out there so i don't agree with your assessment.  He was an extremely pleasant and enthusiastic kid who didn't get a fair blast at County.  Glad he's doing well for himself now. 

    When he was offered the outside, he'd refuse it and just run into players. Aye, he was still young and had talent. Maybe he needed a move away to further his game that way.

    Is Keillor-Dunn seen as a youth product with you lot?

    I follow a EFL account and hes constantly raving about him, with the general consensus hes been one of the best players in League Two down there for years.

    He'd been through several NE England's youth systems before we got him off Chesterfield.

     

    Talented, but very one dimensional at times. If defenders worked him out, he wouldn't change. Still mind him and David N'gog ripping Dundee to bits at Dens. A rare glimmer of hope under Owen Coyle's tenure.

    The whole point of Sensible Soccer was the shit graphics and silly names.  And red cards,   Mainly red cards, in retrospect.  I hope it’s every bit as shit/great. 

    ...and this tune.

    TBF an empty suit is what Macgregor demands. Nobody is going to survive attempting to suggest that other options exist to a notion that Roy has conjured up.

    His vanity project managers are 0/3:

    Coyle
    Malky
    Adams (MK 3)

    He needs to step away from this decision, but he won't and Fergie will just do what he's told.

     

    EDIT: Maybe 0/4 does Willie McStay count?

    The thing that's always struck me when I've watched English games is the size of the boys playing. They are absolute monsters; I'd say the average League Two jobber down south must be well over six foot and they are usually all very sturdy lads. Technical ability wise I think a lot are woeful (actually in many cases well below average Championship standard) but that can be glossed over with a bit of pace and power.

    Tom Dallison is a great example of that. A strapping big guy who was absolutely howling for Falkirk (to the level they actually played him up front at one point I'm sure) but who has enjoyed a solid League Two career down south.

    I mind Carlisle playing County in a friendly once when Pressley managed them and they were absolutely hopeless. I know it was a friendly but none of their players looked above Championship level.

    I think that’s the problem, like Buckie, they’re bound to burn out before the end.

    Also find them a team that if they can't blow you away quickly, get frustrated. Someone who's stuffy and awkward when they need it (like Buckie or Broch) will beat them.
