optimistic Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have said in the past though, that Garry is probably more an impact sub,and I got shot down for it, but I do think Garry's work ethic is carrying the team just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Even though he's not been great for much of the season I don't know who we'd replace Garry with tbqh. Craig could be perfect but he's not looked fit and is clearly still hampered by a niggling injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 How Aitken can publicly slaughter Brown for that 2nd goal and not even mention Docherty's part in it is beyond me. I'd rather the public blame game was avoided completely. Discuss it with the player, not the press. To be fair he'll probably have realised when he saw it again. Now that I've finally watched it again I'd agree that Brown was caught in two minds and Docherty was sleeping. The highlights certainly didn't seem as bad as the game was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I think Garry enhanced his reputation and bought considerable kudos with the support by turning down the move to St Mirren. I'd agree he'll be disappointed with some recent performances but as others have said, you can never fault his effort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottylintonstowel Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Gary has played well this season. But he is better playing off a target man rather than being a target man. 442 suits him a lot better than 4231. He always gives 100 per cent and is not afraid to mix it physically. If he had a Roy McCormack or John Burke to feed off he would be scoring 20 goals per season.. The players we have are good enough aitken just has to find the right blend and tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 We'll agree to disagree. It's funny though, I don't hear much criticism coming Garry Fleming's way considering he's simply not as good as Chris Kane. Of course he's not as good, but they are two different kind of players and they played together so not a replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I don't think Fleming can ever get consistency going as he's moved around too much. In my opinion two of his best games for us came when he was playing centre mid, no chance of that happening now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsism Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 In my opinion two of his best games for us came when he was playing centre mid, no chance of that happening now though. Always thought that too. With Gary in the middle we might get the ball forward with more urgency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruyff14 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Half cut, but i'll vent anyway: a sonsteam mailing list member offered to try and run a smaller bus to Dumfries, and was met with a condesending tone from some of the hierarchy of the trust. It's hard enough to keep a support this close to Glasgow without the golf club mentality. It's also not an isolated incident. The trust does great work, but incidents like these tend to hamper it somewhat. I may be acting trivial, but it stuck with me somewhat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdrockfromtheSon Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Marbill Coaches have small, 30-ish seaters. No need for a tiny 12-seater, why not compromise? Edited November 6, 2015 by ThirdrockfromtheSon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Why would it be an issue to run a smaller bus? If it was to be ran alongside the usual bus I could see the problem with the numbers etc but why is it a problem if it was cancelled? I normally use the bus but can't make tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the chap personally, and he could be a WOM but I thought it was a bit grim personally. I normally use the bus but can't make tomorrow. I couldnt see a problem, chap asked how many had booked already and was spoken to like a five year old. Also agree with the smaller bus, if its unviable from a cash perspective that could be relayed.

Er, naw....A member of the Sonsteam List who comes across as permanent arse finally had his bluff called, and when push came to shove he failed to deliver. If the Trust had one person who actually contributed something for every ten wise guys we'd all be better off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thommo90 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Seen the idea of having a smaller bus going was a "non starter" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Surely a bus can be arranged, depending on numbers, it determines the size of vehicle required? I'd rather still see a 30-seater going, if a 60-odd seater cannot be filled. It's a shame for the folks who did put their name down for a seat on the bus this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wilf Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Anyone who has ever tried to organise anything will have sympathy with Sonstrust. I think that it's only really the big bus that works as far as giving the punters a decent price for the journey. The logistics of getting people committed to go, getting them to turn up and importantly getting them to pay is not really achievable by someone having an idea of running a smaller bus four days before the game. It sounds simple - it isn't. Tommy has done a great job with the bus. If a way could be found to run a smaller bus viably then he'd have done it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Fleming is not a natural striker and is definitely not a player who could score anywhere near 20 in a season at this level. He has missed more chances than anyone in the team this season. Many of them pretty bad misses. He is best deployed in the middle of the park, but we don't have any other strikers and have too many central midfielder's to make that work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
