Slag our piss poor team all you want but its got feck all to do with the current incumbent . Can't help feeling we're piling a lot of pressure on young Rudden here. Boy was one of the top prospects in Scottish football a couple of years back but has gone backwards a bit in recent seasons having stagnated at the currant buns like a lot of young players. He's had very limited first team experience so to expect him to be our saviour is stretching it a bit. I think the big hope is he is better in what we have, tbh if he has anything at all at even 18 he will for sure be better than Turner and hopefully Haber, Lewis and Mackin. The eye opener is that I would say Mackin is probably our best striker, so I dont think Rudden has much to live up to 1 hour ago, Poet of the Macabre said: Hartley couldn't be blamed because of the mess Houston had left the team in. McKinnon can't be blamed because of the mess Hartley has left the team in. Repeat ad nauseam. Houston left a team that finished 2nd the previous season minus a left back, Smith in charge fixed that issue for two games and we won, then Hartley came in telling various players they are c**ts and didnt get a tune out till the last game of the year. I think we are passed the c**tgate now, Mckinnon playing it in a non you are a c**t attitude and using encouragement knowing he has to work with a lot of these players till at least January if not longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a young boy who has hardly any first team experience. In fact a similar trait to the rest of the dross we've picked up so there's no guarantee he will be any better than Turner, Haber, lewis or Mackin. I still think Haber would be a player at this level if we had a decent side fighting for promotion. Unfortunately he has absolutely no interest in being involved in a relegation situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hoping to get a look at Rudden today at the reserves. I am hoping that he is now free from international duty and will be available to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 From the current bunch, the starting 11 has to contain McGhee, Robson, Irving, Dunne and Greenwood. Luckily we’ve still got to see what Rudden is like, maybe he could form a partnership with Haber who has been disappointing. McKee and Mitchell coming in could also do a job for us. Looking at the players mentioned that means the squad would look like MitchellDiddyMcGheeDiddyRobsonGreenwoodMcKeeIrvingDunneRuddenHaberDefensively we have one too many liabilities and the midfield is absolutely powderpuff. I miss housty x I would add Russell to the list of starters, unspectacular but solid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think Sammut is getting a tough time here. Admittedly he might not be ready to take one of only 2 places in a 4 4 2 but if McKinnon goes 4 2 3 1 its Sammut every week for me.No one quoting him at all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think you should also factor in that McGhee has a long term injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your definition of long term. I spoke to him on Saturday and he said it would be at least three weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brought here with a “not Mitch” pedigree to have the boyish edges knocked off him. To do that, he has to be played. It’s as simple as that. We are not in a place where “oooh too much of a risk playing an inexperienced guy like that”. The experience like Paton hasn’t exactly shone through. Moans of “if only we had played x instead of y we would have got a result” no longer seem valid. Fewer cumbersome donkeys and more footballing ability is about our only hope now (other than Obe-Wan Kenobi obviously). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not all agree on the potential to inprove of various others, but i'm not having that Sammut doesnt have the correct ability to do well in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely don't think Sammut has looked bad when he's been on the pitch. I'd play him over Paton every game as he's basically a fraud as far as i'm concerned. Also Sammut doesn't appear to be an arsehole who throws out his arms when he screws up, blaming every one else. He was brought in to be a leader but all I see is another responsibility dodging idiot who thinks picking up yellow cards is the same as defending his back 4.

Sammut is a maybe. Paton has so far proven himself a liability. McKinnon will hopefully see right through him and focus on getting Sammut the experience he came here for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old fashioned booing Paton whenever he touches the ball is in order. Let the message be sent loud and clear. Only sorry we can’t gather behind the Brockville stand to vent our spleens.
