Causing all sorts of problems up front and he has an excellent touch. He'll be really important for us this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear he was quite a handful for all defenses in 1st Division last year and one of the main reasons that we survived, a really good player who will score goals for you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 1 hour ago, Best Team in Angus said: So how is Robert Thomson doing for Dumbarton we are certainly missing him at the Glebe As The Moonster says if he improved his finishing I reckon he'd be at a bigger club than ourselves. He doesn't shirk a challenge, puts himself about a fair bit and has a stunning first touch. If he could add a more clinical edge to his finishing I reckon he'd hit 15+ this season. Even without that however I reckon he'll get a decent number this season. All 3 Championship defences he's faced so far haven't been quite sure of how to deal with him, and the more him and Stevo play together the more I can see a partnership forming between the two of them. He looks to be enjoying himself too, he's got a cracking attitude on the pitch and seems to be the centre of the pre-game bantz which is nice to see. I wasn't sure how we'd replace Christian Nade, but credit to Stevie (and presumably Stuart Millar, our scout) because they look to unearthed a real gem. It's also great to have a natural striker for once! Last season we were heavily reliant on Garry Fleming up top and I don't think being a lone striker - particularly as a targetman - suits him. He'll have a tough task getting back into the team when he's fit I reckon, and that says a lot about Thomson as Gaz has been one of the first names on the teamsheet since we were promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Its good to see that the club will open late to allow fans to pick up their Hibs tickets. Getting to the ground to swap season ticket vouchers isnt the easiest of things when you work during office hours. Anything that makes it easier for fans has to be welcomed. It's maybe a small thing, but it shows a bit of thought for fan convenience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ryan Clark away on loan to Kilwinning - good move for him and us, they're a decent outfit and he'll learn plenty at that level.Perhaps opens up some space in our squad for another loanee... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkpatrick had plenty of chances to impress with us and minus a very fruitful 4 month spell he never delivered.Fair play to him for doing well at Alloa but us releasing him was a no brainer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 So lets figure this one out. We release Kirkpatrick and belittle his scoring record in league 1. However we sign Robert Thomson, based on...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
