He must have lost at least a stone and the sprint to get up and get the fourth was just reward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposition was poor certainly, but at least McAllister, Brindley and Duthie may have injected some much-needed energy into the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I think we’ve got to see Wilson starting every game and not getting hooked each time from now on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Duffy hinted that there might be additions before the weekend in his post-match. It's quite unlike him to do that unless there is something in the pipeline - so hopefully we see a new face or two - with a bit of quality - added before Saturday. I won't lie though. Falkirk, Airdrie, Aberdeen, Montrose, East Fife and Cove all within 14 days is giving me the fear. We'd have struggled to pick a harder run of games for such a hectic schedule. I wonder if we might see Duffy basically prioritise games (Airdrie and East Fife would be the two I'd focus on for example) and play weaker teams in the matches where we don't expect to get anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination last night looked pretty good, I wouldn’t mind that front 3 with perhaps Duthie coming in for Crossan but again wouldn’t complain if it was the same.Spent all day considering whether to actually buy the game yesterday and had decided I couldn’t be arsed but at 7:44 last night I had a swift change of mind. Glad I got to see some good attacking play!On another note I must say I’m very impressed with Jaime Wilson. He should be kept up front as it’s clear his strength are 100% making intelligent runs in behind the defence with his pace and pressing defenders. For me he’s the most important player we need to keep fit to give us a chance of staying up.Edit: the commentary was brilliant again[emoji119] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the nature of Wilsons game means he inevitably needs to be subbed off sometimes, especially if we're playing 4 games a week from now on. The key is to have someone who isn't Robert Jones to come on in his place. 33 minutes ago, Jan Vojáček said: Duffy hinted that there might be additions before the weekend in his post-match.

Forgetting about that run of games, it is a must win this Saturday first and foremost. Peterhead have just been emptied by Stenny and after our woeful defeat last week we cannot afford another slip up in the league against a bottom 5 team. If we go into that run of fixtures off of two defeats to Forfar and Peterhead we are in big trouble. I sincerely hope we add at least a striker before Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Yeah, not sure what is better for us financially tbh now. Normally the game on TV would be far and away the better option, but I don't know what the payment is from the BBC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we could have had 5000 purchases, at least for our stream. £50k (25k when monies are split roughly after costs etc). Are we going to make more than that with the BBC? Maybe someone more in the know can tell us. I'm looking at @Skyline Drifter here 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Next week's fixture list looks a bit daunting. I didn't think teams could be made to play on a Thursday night followed by a Saturday lunchtime? Asking a lot that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we can’t have a commentary only stream. Sync that to TV and mute the TV. Our commentary bound to be better than whoever the BBC roll out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWL Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Mad isn't it? We're dissapointed to be shown live on TV. Would have been a potential money earner with Glass first game in charge. Plus would have been nice exposure for the quality of the stream and commentary team to a wider audience.
