Bigbrbairn Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Agyeman in the McIver role perhaps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleys18/19Army Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The Allan situation is incredibly frustrating. Paid money for him, he quit a job for FT football(dunno if it was a good job but it was a job). He doesn't fit the system but surely there are other ways to use him. Seems a shame for the lad. Saying that he could hopefully pick up a FT gig elsewhere after us to at least give him half a chance. We might even require him at some stage but not ideal since he has had little minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he's got a few more important goals in him for us this season, whether that be late winners or equalizers. Instead of subbing off MacIver straight for Allan he should keep MacIver on to get more practice in the 2 up top when we're comfortably winning unless he's keeping that trick up his sleeve so no teams are prepared for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Allan coming on to partner MacIver is the only way. As good as finishing the game on the spot when Allan comes on since we don't adapt our play to suit, Saturday a perfect example. That being said though if you forced me to pick one person in the squad for the ball to fall to within say 12 yards of the goal I'd probably pick him, so he does have a worth somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a couple of decent opportunities in reserve game today that he didn’t take. The lad Ben Honeyman looks a decent prospect & took his goal well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be like the car in Automan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new main stand was only constructed in the late 20s, difficult to tell from these photos at the time but suspect much of the old terracing hadn't been built yet 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Looks like Brockville was definitely more 'oval' shaped pre 1920s Didn't become the girl we remember until the late 1930s 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been said before but how would a redevelopment of Brockville have been funded without the sale of the park. There was also the issue of space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
