George Parr Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 My only takeaway from the Buchanan episode is that he seems fairly susceptible to the windup. A weakness, in my view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be that League Two is his level now. He struggled massively in the relegation year and I was actually pretty disappointed we kept him; but last year he was probably the best CB in the division (or not far off at the very least) and this year he's been the same. I still think he's got a howling performance in him. He showed that at Ochilview. Like with us last year, 90 percent of the time he's the best defender in the division. The other 10 percent he's being dragged about, conceding silly fouls and charging out of position. 2 minutes ago, The Moonster said: Has it been said anywhere what's actually wrong with Durnan and when he'll be back? Durnan had an ankle problem against Spartans, then his knee flared up. He's got a knee issue that he manages, but it just comes and goes a wee bit as I understand it. But he'll be back this weekend, and should be in full training by next week. Faz is just cautious about testing him on an astro pitch first time around. Of course, you'd know all that if you sprinted down the shops at 6am yesterday to buy your Lennox Clicky 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Brett Long fractured his ankle in training. f**k. Harry Broun is an able back up, but Long will be missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 That's horrendous news and I can't say I'm overly convinced by our backup. This could make a big difference to the rest of our season. I also wonder whether the budget we planned to use on a player in January will now need to go on a 'keeper... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 That's a fucker, aye. Gutted for Long. I'd imagine Greg Wyldes wage which was going to be used on reinforcements outfield will now be used on a keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Good way to test my 'In any other recent season (barring Kevin's three months) Harry Broun would've been comfortably our number one' theory if nothing else. I really rate Harry based on what I've seen from him. He's young, aye, but he's never really looked out of place. Albeit he was pretty poor in the Kelty game. It'll be interesting to see how he copes with a run of games though, as teams begin to suss out his strengths and weaknesses. We'll have to bring someone in on an emergency loan, but (unless that someone is an established SPFL keeper) I think it would be harsh not to give Harry a run. All that shouldn't deflect away from how big a blow losing Brett is. He's the best goalkeeper in the league for me, and arguably one of the most reliable in part-time football. Certainly the best we've had at the club on a permanent deal since Alan Martin. It's a horrible bit of luck to lose him for an extended period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
