FFC 1876 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 2 minutes ago, TedCrilly said: Looking at Saturday in isolation: I’d say the back 3 were more at fault for every goal ahead of Martin. You could argue he was at fault for the third but ATS made an absolute c*nt of it on the lead up to the goal. Maybe unfair on ATS as he’s maybe not fully fit but he’s been abysmal as a centre half so far. Baffling signing. Dumbarton was a deflection and a penalty so again I'm struggling to see where he shipped a goal in that game. The Clyde game he definitely should have done better with their winner but the defending for both goals was absolutely shocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always said I can understand why the management and club would go for him. He’s a proven goalscorer and has done it for a club floating about the bottom half of this league. So if a manager comes in on a short term deal and he’s to try get us promoted then of course he’d be likely to consider him. What is hard to understand about that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that we need 2 centre backs so we never need to play Hall or McKay again but it’s just as much of a priority that Martin gets replaced as well and if Mutch is still going to be out for a while then we need a new keeper. Paddy Martin doesn’t actually make any saves. I can’t think of a single save he’s made this season that wasn’t of the bog standard you’d expect any ‘keeper to make. He’s not Leo Fasan levels of terrible but he’s still absolutely shite. Martin is not commanding enough. He may become a better keeper but Rennie has decided to plug that gap first as the defense has no confidence in him and he’s costing us points . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s sad is the hurt and humiliation his victim felt. The fact that we can’t sign a player because he raped someone is not a pity!!! I despair at our fans sometimes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertobotswana Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 49 minutes ago, Rocco said: I’ve said this to you before but for a manager looking for results, is there a better option that Goodwillie? The guy has scored 14 goals and is currently the league top scorer for a team that aren’t up the top fighting for the title. Im not advocating we should sign him but if your job is to get the team performing better and that’s all your basing signings on, then who could the manager get that’s better? DG is a terrible signing for almost every reason and why do certain people thinking he is our answer, Dowds is far superior! DG has 14 goals all in L1, Dowds has 9 with 5 in a far better league. If AD hadn't been shipped out by Sheerin, I think he would have more than 14 by now. DG is a rapist, AD is not! DG is 33(?), AD is 25. On the Rennie interview after Airdrie, he basically said our defence is shite without actually bringing Hall or Miler into the interview, pointing and saying "He's pish!". I took it that he knows exactly what the issues are and has his own ideas on how to fix it. We won't win the league (although I still hope) but we will certainly be in the play-offs on our recent performances. Also what I don't get is the anti-Rennie theme going on, his immediate impact on the team is outstanding. We had Sheerin saying that he thought (in relation to scoring goals) that we might not get any better yet Rennie has managed 9 goals in 3 games (ok... one was against EF). He also has inherited a pile of dross, M&M resigned Hall!! This summer, I see a huge clear out of players and hopefully with Rennie in charge... a more competitive team. I think the target for Rennie is getting into the play-offs and making a competitive team on the pitch, I think he'll get an extension to his current deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Good to see Dixon in the training video as he's badly needed. Didn't look to have a cast on either so hopefully in contention for Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin has made plenty of saves but it's been when we were already beat or on our way to getting embarrassed. The norm is mainly Saturday past, Airdrie 4 shots on target and scored 4 with one disallowed. Dumbarton had 3 on target, Montrose 1 and scored. If our defence was better, you can at times get away with a ropey keeper but we for sure need one in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fecks sake I'll have some of what you've been smoking. Dowds is a very limited player who will do a job for us but he's no more than that. Goodwillie is a far better player in all areas but is costly and his baggage basically makes him unsignable but he's still a better player than dowds FFS. If goodwillie was playing for a decent side at this level he'd comfortably get 25 to 30 goals in a season. We won't make the playoffs unless we sign some players it's as simple as that. We need 3 or 4 minimum or all we'll see between now and may is us struggling against the sides above us and beating the dross at the bottom. Over to the management to get these boys in and give us a chance of the playoffs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
