DA Baracus Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Haha, they're right to write the score as 0-2, but putting 'DAFC vs EFFC' before it defeats the formatting. Decen enough start to the cup, especially with County only getting 2 points today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoo61 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Always thought he was a couple of pointers away from a decent all round package. Might be his year to steamroll defences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I see McPake rolled Bene out as Captain, how’s he looking for you so far? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 McCann's finishing has been suspect in the past but that should improve given time and experience. He ticks the boxes physically and is decent with the ball at his feet for a 6 ft 2 target man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lacked leadership last season and, so far, I’ve been impressed by him. Didn’t rate him at Rovers, I’m not going to lie. But he seems to be what we’ve been needing in our defence. Not the best CB we’ve had in terms of ability, but he seems to provide the leadership we have lacked in recent years, organising the defence and having a go at players (and officials) when they need it. Having said that, I’ve only seen him in a friendly v Killie and today v East Fife. It’s all about how he does in league duty. But the early signs are quite positive, in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 On the game, I thought first half was really dull. Second half, we started on the front foot and kept EF pinned back for almost the full 45 mins. Had some decent bits of play and often just lacked the killer instinct in the box. Breen and McCann both look a lot more mobile - unless I’m imagining that. Also thought McCann took both his goals well - also forced a good save from the keeper. Comrie looked back to his old self, driving forward, overlapping (including winning the penalty), but solid defensively. Edwards played a few good balls into the box too. Midfield seemed to be a weak area still though. We only really looked good going forward through the full backs, or McCann holding it up/flicking it on for Wighton/O’Hara. Paul Allan looked good when he came on, seemed to be trying to find positive passes and move into space. Unfortunately, that’s not the norm for a Pars midfielder! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In League One he should give you all that you’re wanting there, with the occasional moment of panic. If he can keep his head, like he has the last couple of seasons, rather than falling back to getting a bit stroppy and bullheaded now and then, you’ll enjoy his leadership. If you’ve paired him with a quicker and more maneuverable CB, it could be excellent…but even with an old warhorse like Berra, he can forge a meaningful partnership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't count on him at all during the season. If he was fit think he could be really decent in League 1, but he's injured too often. He can't be relied upon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll also likely face a dilemma as Scotland and NI u21s could be chapping his door. Only just turned 21 so guess he’s still eligible? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
