I’d assume because he’s left them outside the transfer window we couldn’t sign him on a permanent deal but could he sign on a brown envelope/travel expenses amateur deal? No doubt the chicken man is lining him up as EK’s 99th signing of the season. I think we are more likely to sign Chris Boyd tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, where you guys didn't have a good relationship with the guy, in general. We all (mostly) rated him very highly. I'm not a fan of petulant bookings but in terms of everything else, I thought he handled himself really well. Even when he didn't start or anything, I don't remember him seeming bothered by it. Dare I say it, he's been very professional and pretty reliable to us, other than some time out with injury and stuff last season. Gutted to lose a key player, because we don't have anyone else who can do the job he done for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutted to lose a key player, because we don't have anyone else who can do the job he done for us. He's a "key player" in as much as he was talented with the ball at his feet. But he couldn't score in a brothel and spent most games dropping back to defensive mid looking for the ball rather than making any impact in the attacking third. We've lost a recognised forward, which we are light on numbers wise, but we won't notice much difference on the field in my humble opinion. I always wanted him to play 90 mins up high, close to a striker such as Ruth, but either by way of accident, design or poor planning he was inevitably too deep to affect the goals for column, or stuck up front as a lone target man while high balls were shelled over his midget head. Probably would have been far more effective under a less defensively minded manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Great highlights package. Wish we could do that. Hogarth is absolutely honking at crosses. Orsi is absolutely honking at crosses. Glad to see some football finally played though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeezebox-son Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I have to say, I don't think Stranraer were very good at all. They had plenty of the ball but other than Ben Armour's header, they didn't look like nearly scoring. I think we were good value for the win over the 90 mins. Although I agree that Farrell deserves some credit for making the changes (ones we have all been suggesting for weeks but it took him til yesterday to see...) I also think he invited the pressure in the last 15 mins or so. Every sub made us more defensive and I didn't think that was right approach, albeit we ended up with the 3 points. I think Michael Ruth and Tony Wallace in particular started to tire out of it as the game went on. They were superb in the first half though. T Wallace in particular always makes good use of the ball, compared to other players we have been starting ahead of him in recent weeks. Watching yesterday and he very rarely loses possession and usually when he finds a teammate we are in a better position than when he received the ball. Like others, I'm very concerned about Michael Ruth's fitness! He is having to play 90 mins in every game and we will fall apart without him available. I'd be concerned as a Stranraer fan. They are rotten and with Clyde's result yesterday, I could see them in some trouble in the coming weeks. The only saving grace is that Stair Park is a tough place to go. Without checking, I'd imagine their form at home is slightly better than their away form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sense of relief at once again winning a league game is masking another trademark patchy performance. A more incisive team than Stranraer would maybe have made much more of their second half possession, and it's a worry that we could be heading into playoffs incapable of maintaining a performance level for ninety minutes. But it is what it is, and it's not likely to change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 With Broomhill playing on the pitch yesterday I can’t even begin to imagine what kind of a nick it is in. Our pitch simply cannot handle 3 games in a week, especially when 2 of those are back to back. It’s genuinely borderline unplayable, just due to it’s general state. I find watching home games a bit of a slog because the pitch impacts the quality of the game so much. The players must absolutely hate it. I’d also just like to add that Marc Kelly has the worst combover I’ve ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
