I have a feeling he'll prove his worth over the course of the season. He isn't here to make an immediate impact, we'll need a guy who can scrap for results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought McKenna looked entirely comfortable in the short spell he got; looked strong running with the ball, (which is a bonus as am a little worried Tait & Spencer combo might be a bit lightweight in a midfield battle) and he picked out a few decent passes; but conversely not sure where his most effective position will be. He's maybe more Hendo than Nesbitt in the midfield? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Oliver had the best game today although didn't do anything hugely wrong.

AirForceWan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 First time seeing Adams live and he was superb, wasn't he? Couple of shots in the first half. Driving forward from RB. Tidy on the ball, won a fair few headers. Looked a tad less comfortable at RCB but proved he's handy enough as back-up in that position. Morrison getting in some great positions and should've had a hat-trick. Hopefully scores those chances in the league. Tait a handful, looks a real leader on park. Two goals and should've been more for McIver. No issues in that department. A goal for either Shanley or Agyeman would've topped it off. Or one of the lads grabbing a hat-trick. What a brilliant place to be, to be complaining about these finer details. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirForceWan Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I'll add a compliment about Mackie's conduct after the game. Every time he moved to head back up the tunnel a swarm of parents and kids would approach him. He took a photo and signed the shirt/notebook of every single person who asked. Gentleman. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleman Total respect for Mackie - after the warming up his arse for 3/4 of last season, didn’t refuse any of the kids at any of the games, when running the tracks. Maybe had his best game in the NB today. Edited July 27 by Springfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarcastic Bairn Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) 2 hours ago, HonestAl said: Yeah, Adams from Cumbernauld Colts in the 5th tier. By no means a youngster at 22. He’s made such an immediate impact, you’d wonder if there may be more such players with potential in these lower divisions. I remember being impressed with Walker (left back at Kelty, now playing in League of Ireland) last season. He was signed from Caledonian Braves, so I’d reckon this may be a good scouting zone. You should bring it up at the next AGM! ps: apologies, could resist it. Edited July 27 by Sarcastic Bairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Hillshaveyes Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Gary Oliver is a very clever footballer at this level as a 10..not a finisher in general but great at linking & knowing how to lay it off..to me a new contract was a no brainer...Shanley on the other hand I'm not seeing it but mcglynn is the best player spotter we've had in a long while so whatever he sees there must be something to build on... didn't go today but I do have a season ticket...or season card as they seem to be calling it in West Fife... very strange 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true though... again hats off to mcglynn...there are players at that level that can step up...9s seem to be a bigger step up & not many work out but Adams seems to be a find... again not seen him play yet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalkirkBairn2021 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Seen a lot of references to Ayr being moneybags. Where have they spent it? On floodlights? Don't look at their squad and become envious at their quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) Our strength going into this season appears to be creating chances. The one minor concern I have going into the Championship is our conversation rate. Which I admit sounds strange after a 4-0 win but we could have had so many more against Stenny and Buckie and it cost us down at Ayr. However it’s early days and teams are still brushing the rust off so overall it’s a really positive start for me…..

I give my balanced view of the overwhelming positives and very few negatives in our performances and results at the moment. Sorry if that upsets you. Oh it doesn’t upset me. We’ve just completed a league undefeated, won through the first stages of a cup (league) with two teams in a higher division we have came from, with two of those ploughed with money. My first thoughts are not how I can diminish that on a football forum like you do. It is obvious you are not happy, despite trying to temper that recently with some positive points, you have shown your colours. Me, I’m loving how we are battering teams, I really don’t care if one player is slightly behind the others enough to make that point on here or if Shanley ‘should’ have scored a hat trick. We won 4 nil, and he got himself into the position to make those shots on target. Sorry if that upsets you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
