19QOS19 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Yep against teams that are bottom end of the form guide. He was scoring every week at first, not so now.... Not doubting his ability but the Dobbie flags out appeal seem to have whimpered of recent So a goal only counts if it's against a form side? His goals are the only thing keeping us out if serious danger. Your claim was he's been invisible recently. Mr X corrected your wildly inaccurate statement. Just accept you were wrong and walk away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn2 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Houston has realised our weaknesses and strengths and is trying to turn it round but sadly the BOD want to bide their time ( or perhaps they just want a healthier than needed bank balance ). IF he can get a right midfielder who can also cover with Kidd when needed I think we could come good. I still think we need to be a bit adventurous and use Ohara and Austin when fit instead of our now predictable strike force 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG.Colossus Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 With O'Hara coming back will one of our other strikers get punted I wonder. Baird hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Rumoured to be Raith bound. He's not getting any younger but he also almost always first pick. I think one of the strikers will go though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was invisible either but 10 goals the first 12 games and 6 in his last 12 games points a dip to me. So your telling me his performances in the first 12 matches match the second 12 ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worthwhile investment to keep you out of the relegation playoffs, I'm sure that was definitely your target this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd take Dobbie in a heartbeat. 3 goals in 2 games against us and can tell he is too good for this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the strikers will go though. Baird's work rate is exceptional but he's a passenger 80% of the time. I'd go with BSLM alongside one of Austin or O Hara for the rest of the season. Might even be able to offload either McHugh or Sheps too to free another wage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd take Dobbie's wages over craigen,Rankin,kidd and Watson's any day. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelocalcat Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd keep McHugh, think he's low on confidence but we saw last year that he can be a real asset. If I was gaffer Baird's days would be numbered, guy gives absolutely everything but he's by far the most technically inept forward we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with BSLM alongside one of Austin or O Hara for the rest of the season. Might even be able to offload either McHugh or Sheps too to free another wage. Exceptional! Amazing just how differently people can see things. He works hard but no way I would class it as exceptional. And I don't get how it can be exceptional but as the same time be a passenger for 80% of the time. Seems to me a contradiction. If he put in as much effort as he does moaning at others then he would be a hell of a player! His arm flapping & head shaking are impressive. His look of bewilderment when he sees his number come up to be substituted is simply sublime. A solid player but needs a little spell on the bench for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Baird has proved he can score at this level. If he gets the chances he will score. The fact that he has to do the majority of his work outside the box and sometimes in the defensive half says it all in where we need strengthening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I think McHugh is a more natural finisher than Baird but Baird has a better workrate. O'Hara i dont think is coming back to sit on the bench for rest of the season so i reckon either Baird or McHugh will go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilostmyself Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 O'Hara hitting form while playing out wide at East Fife might give us another option on the wings instead of him playing as a striker.That said, I've not seen much of him so I'm only going by what I've read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd certainly keep McHugh. Of our senior strikers, he's the quickest, has the best first touch and is the best natural finisher. I'd move on Baird in the Summer with McHugh, BSLM, O'Hara and Austin the four strikers next season. I'd be very tempted to try and get Loy as well tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
