Scottydog Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 In many ways Bill is similar to Turnbull Hutton, he says what he thinks and doesn't mince his words. You can't please all the people all of the time and he was merely echoing what most of us have been saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithRyan Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Has Doolan got a club yet since leaving Partick? I know he’s wrong side of 30 but would think he’d help himself to a fair few goals in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 You may be right but when coaching teams he isn’t what I would want for centre mid and offers no goalscoring threat especially at corners etc, in the Chris Johnston calibre of rovers players for me and glad he is goneThat's a damning indictment!I'd have him in the same category as someone like Joe Hamill. A player who clearly had quality, and didn't lack application, but just never quite clicked with the team he was in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who clearly had quality, and didn't lack application, but just never quite clicked with the team he was in. I still think his greatest weakness was when we didn't have the ball. So slow that once you werw beyond him he wasn't getting back. Subsequently our defence was left exposed time and time again. Also not great in the air. But apart from a crippling lack of mobility he did have a good range of passing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Mobility is extremely important and players who don't have it wreck the team unless it is specifically compensated for. In a central midfield two, the absence of pace places an unbearable burden on the other, and only really a central three can properly compensate. That brings challenges for the rest of the team, tying the team to closely to a specific formation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantene proV Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Got to lol at some folk blaming other players for Nat's deficiencies, not being on his wavelength etc. The guy couldnae move, couldnae tackle, couldnae shoot (ok maybe once) and couldnae pass beyond 5 yards. "yeah but he could give the ball to Vaughan who then did something with it" Our midfield will be much better without him next season Edited June 8, 2019 by pantene proV Edited as I forgot about his tackle (insert Kenneth Williams photo as appropriate!) 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantene proV Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Yep, effort from him was always there absolutely. Same with Buchanan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Let’s not sugar coat this Buchanan has been involved in 2 failed promotion challenges and if rumours are correct was well paid everyone knows he canny run so I couldn’t careless what the chairman has said because most fans would agree with his statement along with his comments regarding Wedderburn he was slow and IMO dreadful at times . Is anyone disappointed they were released no! so let’s move on if these players along with the rest of the prima donnas had played to there full potential we wouldn’t be in this position again . I’m just glad we have a board who are open and happy to inform there support of the current situation at the club especially through probably the busiest time of the season but it’s the usual thing there damned if they do and damned if they dontI'd have kept Buchanan so not entirely correct. Nt wasn't his fault he was misused for 2 seasons. Under Barry Smith he was subjected to long falls against 6 foot centre backs and last season he was told to chase down balls like a guy in his early 20s. He is a penalty box striker with a good touch and should have been used as such, maybe as an impact sub more often.Anyway he's away now and given he always gave 100% I wish him all the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 FeB would be unreal in League 1 surely, tore it up last time. Victoria is rather meh considering your ambitions. McGeever and Ross Kavanagh are shite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 FeB would be unreal in League 1 surely, tore it up last time. He's probably scored less than 10 goals in 3 years since then and looked hopeless against us in the Scottish Cup.He'd maybe make a lively impact sub but that's about his limit these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno I don't think players can drop off that drastically without some kind of major injury or age catching up on them. Championship and Prem are a different ball game, seems like the kind of guy who'd be superb when things are going his way and poor when the going gets tough. I think he would be a very good signing for a L1 team near the top of the table personally 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surplus of pace though, would be an interesting signing at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
