Dawson Park Boy Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 As we’re playing them in a couple of weeks, I took a look at the highlights of yesterday’s match between Alloa and QP. What a game!! Alloa look a very good side. But the highlight or lowlight is the commentatating duo. One guy can’t stop giggling during the whole game. They are just so irritating. Anyway, if you’ve a spare 9 minutes, definitely worth a look if just for the laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A choice between taking him on loan or Ruth and I'd have taken him any day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shown up big style yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought too. Good example being Leon McCann - he was regularly very good against us and don’t think we once targeted him. Every other team in the league seem to know you can shell balls up to him and he’ll either be 10 yards out of position or will lose the header. We didn’t seem to know that though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was fed up being a figurehead while Davie Martindale made all the actual decisions. Fixed that for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 5 hours ago, Shadwell Dog said: Decent player in his first season although he only managed 19 league starts but only managed 6 appearances in his second. To me he's one of these players who will only take the field when completely 100 percent fit whilst others will play with the odd knock . That was kind of alluded to in interviews with the management last season who seemed to be getting less and less convinced by his injury claims keeping him out. Something’s either clicked in him or JMcG is getting what M&M couldn’t out of him. Excellent play rate, very good crosser and set play man, showed a beautiful finishing touch versus ICT this weekend. The one thing I’ve noticed is, while he’s very high motor, he frequency runs out of gas at the 70’ mark, otherwise a brilliant signing for whatever reason. Been playing a right wing with a big overlap with right fullback and a single CF. No sign of any injury claims either… On the whole suggests he was unhappy at FFC, which as you have all seen recently can drag even a good player into the weeds. Given the relative malaise has continued since Ray, it does suggest the rot is deeper than the actual coaches, at least in the players perceptions. Which of the lovely speakers at the Q&A have regular contact or direct communications with players? Which of the other “club leaders” are also poisoning the well? I thought the toss the lot talk was a bit overboard last year, but it looks like you’ll were absolutely right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Frustrating that we never won on Saturday but we probably should have won comfortably. Jury obviously still very much out about Sheerin but I get a gut feeling we might be about to go on a wee run now starting at Clyde on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent when he played he just was never fit enough to play or never passed himself fit in his second season. Seems to have been a common trait in his career. The 19 games he started for us in his first season here is the most he's started in any one season so far which is pretty poor in a career that is now 10 years old. So far so good at Raith he seems to be staying fit and firing on all cylinders so far. Edited October 25, 2021 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be another point at best on Saturday against another team who will be bottom four and the way things are going, we will also....very much a statement...not a qu...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
