RC55 FFC Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 You could also say without him we'd have lost fewer goals, given several of those lost have directly been his fault, or partially. Not in the last 2 games you couldn’t. Of the 5 goals lost none could be labelled as GK error. Watch them back, they are all from either a player or players leaving him exposed. I’m not saying he’s a fantastic keeper, but he is competent and currently the only real choice for Number 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well, the QotS games was the roller coaster plummeting down its second biggest drop (relegation being the biggest), and while the RC game was the carriage trundling along in the flat, McKinnon talking over has certainly been an unexpected lift. Getting shot of “Crucial Mitch” has done us no harm, and between Young and Ritchie going, Ritchie is definitely the more joyous departure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of managers have a disaster on their CV and in an interview he could point to his performance the year before and try to offload some blame here and there. We appointed Gary Locke despite our fans begging our board not to. We'd probably be liable to appoint him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flapped Dobbie's hat trick goal in and his pisspoor attempt at a save led to RC's first goal at the weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor Bairn Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I’d quite like to see Mitchell in goals on Saturday. I don’t think Fasan is as bad as folks are making him out to be however I think Mitchell is better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 2 hours ago, Bairnardo said: Real make or break moment for the likes of TOE, Dallison, Harrison. The manager who signed them and the scout who recommended them are gone. They are now trading purely on their performances in training and in the games. TOE was invisible in yesterdays development game but more visible than Turner, youd think that extra 10-20% would be in you when you know the new manager is in the stand watching. We will of coure be back to tombola teamsheet this week but I do expect/hope it will be more settled in weeks to come in which someone can actually guess the starting 11 1 hour ago, Shodwall cat said: You'd think so but then you get guys like Jim Duffy and Pressley who have done nothing of any note in their entire managerial careers and yet still get gigs. Duffy tbf has went down the leagues to come back up again which I think Hartley will need to do, Pressley is just a mouth piece that will talk his way into varying jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he's went down the leagues to Brechin where he achieved hee haw , ended up at Clyde, won nowt with them and somehow that got him the morton job where he won league one which should be a shoe in for a club like Morton and has done nothing dramatic since.

Albeit Mitchell having nowt much to do yesterday in the development league game he looked assured in what he was doing, he does look quite small for a goalkeeper but that doesnt matter a jot if he keeps the ball out of the net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 At least owing to the fact he hasnt signed any of them there's no pressure on McKinnon to play any of the new dross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking right. Timeline below :- This season - avoid relegation Summer - Empty this muck. Pick through the Morton carcass for 3 or 4 and sign 5 or 6 more from England and abroad. Next season - Felch this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Suffering Bairn Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I was at the QOS game. The thing that worries me about Fasan is he keeps wandering too far from his goals. At least a dozen times in that game he was near the 18 yard line when QOS were already going forward. The first goal might have been saved had he been nearer the line. While he is capable of spectacular saves which did keep the score down, it's only a matter of time before teams realise that a lob from distance has a decent chance. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirkfan1985 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Good to see Rays first interview, he talked some sense, and dodged some dodgy questions at the same time, reckon he will need a good few players in January....he also confirmed that we had permissions to speak to him on Friday.

EdiBairn Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 IMO we need to sign good players wherever they come from and ditch this 'we must sign English players because they're better than Scottish players' idea. English academies have literally thousands of players in them, most of whom will be lucky to make a career at conference level, never mind be the next Messi. The ones who do have talent won't be coming anywhere near us for £800 a week anyway. Even going down the route of signing players who have performed well in the national league or league 2 is difficult, as they will have much better offers down south with the money available there. What we're then left with is players like we've signed who can't get a game for league 2 or conference teams. I am excited to hear talk of us scouting Europe. I think this is where we could really find some gems as we'll be able to look at young players doing well in say Central/Eastern Europe who won't be on much money, instead of rejects from English conference teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but Robson made a c**t of it after Fasan inexplicably didn't hold an absolute trundler he should have thrown his hat on.. Can agree to disagree though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
