bigmacDFC Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Aye okay Shania! You are the most negative person on here along with frank quietly. It's the third pre season game and your on the verge of a meltdown. Losing by a goal to an spl team whilst scoring three against them with a centre defence pairing who haven't played together before is not that bad.

When the ball is 15 feet in the air in the box, the keeper has to get it first and catch it. Grindlay failed to do this twice yesterday, and we were fortunate not to concede another from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grindlay failed to do this twice yesterday, and we were fortunate not to concede another from it. we either need a 6 Foot keeper with 9 foot reach or a 12 foot keeper with 3 foot reach then. That Grindlay's a liability, canny even catch a ball that's 15 feet in the air... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revendarkness Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Ok I've never really been a grindlay fan. But for the last few seasons he's started to win me round. To say he should win every ball first never going to happen. Stevie has keep us in some games when defence let us down so on a whole he's pretty solid in goal. Having ewings as his back up keeps him on his toes.I fancy him to win point on his own this season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsism Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Derek Riordan is on the bench tonight against Brechin. ETA: He's just come on for Prunty. Edited July 16, 2013 by sonsism 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Trialist Ross Smith also scored the only goal of the game so far. Think we'll be giving Riordan game time to get his fitness up, really can't see him signing for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on Riordan, don't see much chance of us signing him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilly Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Who is else is reallistcally going to sign Riordan? No one in the SPL or lower leagues of England will want him. Dumbarton will have a very good chance of signing him if they want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbarton will have a very good chance of signing him if they want. I'm not saying we couldn't sign him but more due to the fact we've got 5 strikers signed for the first team already and adding another probably isn't high on Murray's list. Add that to the fact he's a total bam that could cause other problems, I think we'll give it a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Old pals or not, this is part of our pre-season, so I don't see Murray doing something just to do Riordan a favour. There may well be more to this, but whether or not it's a good thing, I'm not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmacDFC Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Decent game, we played pretty well. We played some good fitba, whereas Brechin kept playing the ball over the top, which the defense, especially Smith, dealt with well. Riordan played left wing, didn't look up to much. All the other trialist impressed me. Smith looked very good, wasn't impressed with him on Saturday, but he was very impressive tonight. Kirkpatrick looked good, he has some touch, created a few chances and almost scored a belter of a volley. Phinn was full of energy, and was getting involved, couple of good passes/ pieces of play. McGinn was excellent, as per. Turner was involved a lot more, in an attacking sense tonight, but still didn't offer as much defensively as he did last season. Megginson was impressive again. Linton looked good, in an attacking sense, again tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
