dafcburty Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Very happy with this signing. Potts said we were after a creative player and this is definitely the player he was referring to. Hopkirk is very direct, quick, skillful and got an eye for goal too. He's in a similar mould to Wallace, if you like. Could just be the spark in the final third we need.

D.A.F.C Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Sorry just don't really see the point of signing more players when we play stupid pointless formations and people out of position. Another 22 year old is not what we need at all. Edit: I do hope that he does well though but I just don't see the logic in punting our top scorer and bringing in ineffective, goalless barrowman and some part time youngster who works in the coop. Forbes and Ugwu were more effective and proven, must've been some digs if we couldn't afford them but can afford five new players.

DA Baracus Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Ugwu wasn't proven. He was our top goalscorer, but with not many goals, three of which came in a game against the bottom side. If he was the player folk are making out, he would have scored far more. Plus we couldn't afford him. Also I thought Forbes was despised. Now he's suddenly an effective player?! Just like Stephen Husband is Zidane esque ever since he left us, and scored LOADS of free kicks for us (2). Incidentally, it seems obvious that someone has made a bit of cash available that wasn't there previously.

HoBNob Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Or that the players brought in come to less than what left, Ugwu was on a fair whack plus he had his digs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Utrer failure at morton? No doubt he was poor in that game (although only a great save stopped him scoring), but don't you think judging him on a single game is just a little bit harsh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Sorry I meant in his time at morton and the thoughts of their fans. Anyway what does it matter? Hope he proves me wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Separatist Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Forbes or McAusland, no comparison. Ryan t looks better than McAusland. McAusland's first game for us was his first in a month, he was ok in an overall poor team performance. Against Morton he was a CB. Try and give the guy a chance. Agree Barrowman has had poor reviews from Morton fans but I'd rather him upfront than thommo. Good result today. Yes Aye are shite but we needed a victory.

DAFC. Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 We were in a run of form in which winning a game would be a huge result, whether it was one of the better teams or one of the worst. Yes, Ayr are poor, but so are Stirling and Stenny and we struggled against them. It's all about getting a win to get that confidence back to take into the game after. We got it today and I am very happy that my doubts have been proved wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Glad we won today and hopkirk made me eat my words too but games like this will not win the league. I don't like to fight and argue with fellow pars fans and I realise that some of my posts can appear attention seeking or emotional. Foolishly I looked at dot net to get an insight into how we played but instead noticed a real divide in fans and some genuinely nasty stuff. There's no place for intentionally winding up others just because they questioned potter last week. Its going to get out of hand and spill onto actual confrontations. It does show that the fans care but after the unity after masterton was hunted its sad that the biggest voice of pars fans online has regressed into its former toxic ways. Admin need to show a balanced and fair attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up go the heads Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Good result today well done! (the part- time youngster who works in the co-op played really well, Goal and assist) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larbert_Par Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hopkirk came into the game more as it went on and took his goal well. He scored a worldie for Annan against us at the start of the season - he certainly has something about him. A good, solid win that was fully deserved. It's a start but that will hopefully give the team some much needed confidence to build from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
