Taxi for De Massis Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 We were supposed to get knocked out, not part of the plan, serious doubts about McGlynn! Just kidding , turning out to be a nice season so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No injuries that I saw, on another note 384 fans away to Ayr midweek in a diddy cup is an excellent effort, ultras sang the full game, well done all who travelled 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I said earlier that if there is any cash to bring in a loan player it would be another front man for me. Allan is fine and can do a job off the bench but not as a lone striker from the start. Edited September 5, 2023 by Harry Kinnear 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Grimsdale Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 As easy a 1-0 as you will ever get. Henderson my MOM. Absolutely outstanding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Allan would probably be fine up front if he was the same size as MacIver. He's very much in the stoic John Baird stature which is fine if we play big man wee man up front. McGlynn won't do that as long as his arse is facing south so any striker we do bring in has to be very similar style to MacIver. Great result tonight in a cup I wasn't to arsed about tbh. And injury free hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He suits a team who sit in & play on the break but for us he’s been v poor in almost every game he’s played.Yes he snatched a late goal at Cove but I’m sorry I just don’t see that he offers much ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan doesn’t suit how we currently play he can’t play up top himself but happy to have him on the bench as an option when either a games won and can rest Maciver or we need to snatch a goal ( like he did at cove) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FK1Bairn Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Nearly 400 fans make the travel to Ayr on a Tuesday night for a cup tie nobody including McGlynn gave a sh*t about winning, we make 4 changes to our preferred first 11 to give our fringe players some game time and we put on two young boys for the final 25 minutes yet still win 1-0 against a team from the league above? We really are MASSIVE 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Seem to recall Allan going to Wolves from Airdrie when he was 16 or something.. highly rated, didn't settle then back up the road? So the potential is there, comes a point though when it's no longer potential and you need to start firing. Flip side being if the manager/system doesn't suit your not going to get much joy. Its probably frustrating for him as much as anything. He probably backed himself to get 20 goals last season after getting 10 for Clyde before he signed for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Can only get loans in from Scotland just now so if we're looking for a striker I'd be going Anton Dowds or Zak Lovelace from sevco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMBairn Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Another good result, shows a bit of strength in depth with the changes and then the young lads getting on for a lot of the second half. Will there be highlights? I know there was no live FTV coverage but were the boys there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s very hard to criticise a player who is being asked to do a job he clearly isn’t cut out to do. He gets bits and pieces of game time here and there and never ever gets the chance to play up top in a two, which begs the question why did McGlynn bring him in. I will however say that if you give him a chance in our current squad he is the most likely to hit the target. I think he is fine coming off the bench to see out a game or to bring him on if you are chasing an equaliser but don’t try to make him something he isn’t. We are never in a month of Sundays going to have 3/4 quality strikers on our books in the third tier of Scottish football. All about opinions though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
