101 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Bearne signs for Morton if we were interested, but I doubt he would have been a starter on the right wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different kettle of fish for me compared to Falkirk, especially after last season. I’m also not that fussed about the league cup format now either, most teams are only 60/70% ready with their squads so it’s less of an indicator for the league season than it maybe was in the past. Still though, be nice to cuff them back into their wee cage today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have heard that there’s a couple of English clubs wanting a new right back. Will always remember him as the clown that played Todd as RB ahead of Comrie and had the useless Polworth and Lawless in the roles Todd should have been in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that Polworth and Lawless weren't actually shit players and after leaving us went on to have very good seasons. It's almost as if the abysmal manager was the problem! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s 100% on the manager who brought them in on short term deals and didn’t find a way to get the best out of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agree with you, they (along with most others) were absolutely pish under Hughes. But as you say, that was on Hughes. A deluded, silly man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 McCann perplexes me at times. His goal today was tremendous. He took two lads on and smashed a brilliant shot past their goalie. Yet he often misses easy chances. I like him, think he's a good player, but if he converted more he's be our record fee received. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Anyway, onto todays game. Thought we were good in spells and very poor in others. But it’s the first competitive game and the squad is far from complete. McCann was very very good on the left, then less effective through the middle. We need a proper striker to provide cover/competition for Wighton. McCann is excelling on the left of a front 3, so we need to keep him there. Mehmet made 2 excellent saves in the second half and had a fairly solid game. Fisher, Benedictus and Breen all played well too. Todd was unusually quiet, but looked like Raith had prepared for him and had 2/3 men on him most of the time - which is probably why McCann got so much joy on the other side. I’ll not really focus/get drawn in on the negatives. Poor goal to concede - 2 or 3 men could have stopped him getting through. If Hamilton’s on the park, Easton doesn’t walk through the midfielders like that. Thought Raith were a very odd team. Constantly tripping/kicking/pulling back our players. Then Vaughan and Easton were diving all over the place. Slightest contact, they were screaming and rolling around, I couldn’t believe the ref bought all of that. Easton should have been off for 2 yellows, after at least 4 really obvious yellow card offences. But then we had a few obvious yellows that were also let go. Ref was alright on the whole and seemed to be trying to let the game flow, which is fine with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Weird that McGowan hasn’t been signed given how bare the bench was today. Said it yesterday but it must be that he’s expecting more money. He was probably on a very healthy wage at Dundee, he’s just not going to get that with us in the Championship but I think he’ll struggle to do better. I mean Dundee Utd won’t sign him, I can’t see Thistle/Inverness/QP signing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will be his big season, a bit like Matty Todd did last year, I think McCann will be getting talked about all season. He looks a nightmare to play against, very physical, quick and does score goals. You’re right, he does seem to score the 20-30 yarders but miss the tap ins though!

He definitely would have added something off the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he thrives in that left wing/forward role. Not got the pressure of being focal point up front. He’s also at his best with the ball at his feet, running at defenders. When he’s through the middle, the ball just gets punted towards him. Clearly got a lot of talent and physically he is fantastic. He’s tall, strong and quick. He hit great form towards the end of the season and seems to be continuing that. Really hope he can kick on and be a great player for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
