1320Lichtie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 We have signed Ryan Dow. Wanted him in the summer but his father in law was obviously Peterhead manager at the time Only 31 too plenty of football left in him Its pretty funny that we are at a stage in time where we have Nicky Low, Scott Allan, Ryan Dow, Bobby Linn, Michael McKenna and El Mhanni as attacking midfield players on our books - on paper it’s unbelievable but unfortunately Low is in a huff will never play for us again and Allan is nowhere near fit - very happy with Dow though that’s the kind of player I’ve been crying out for. What a difference him and El Mhanni should make 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have just been because they were such a poor outfit that season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtiekev Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 A player from lower leagues in Scotland, thought they weren't good enough Low back on loan to Kelty and get Austin on return.... Really more that ever don't see where Allan fits in now, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only a good player for the end of this season but probably a good player for the next 2.5 years. A good guy to have in squad and him and El Mhanni look to be a tremendous upgrade on Corfe and Fosu Edited January 5, 2023 by 1320Lichtie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being in that side certainly won't help anyone and he didn't impress that much with peterhead against us either but again he's playing with utter shite. Never looked the same after the serious injury he picked up, was absolutely on fire under Crawford before that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternapper Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Was told he was not the same after his injury at the Pars and although admittedly we were very poor Ryan did not stand out very often. Hope he finds his feet again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to Sir Albert Henderson this Management Team are the best we have ever had. Game on, 36-0. Too many stupid shouts to change manager etc after QP game and now people getting carried away after one win. The key is not to get too high with wins and not to get down with setbacks. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great win and well needed to boost abit of confidence in the squad but need to take one game at a time at the moment hopefully a few more wins and cove slip up would be ideal, just need to get behind the team and management, instead of given them abuse, like what happened at Dens cause we were drawing at a certain point in the game, bit weird would understand if getting beat but drawing at that point in a game nae need! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes played for us in the Betfred Cup, and then Montrose in League One, this season. Unsure if the 2 club rule returned and/or if the Betfred Groups count. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he finds his feet again. Looks like he completely fell off a cliff this season? But was still operating at a really good level for Dunfermline before his move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Everything is not okay after one win. As great as it was, and humble pie was eaten, but we have already "turned the corner" so many times in the last few months. I still believe that the management did not get the best out of their squad and that the tactics at times were bizarre and the wrong teams were picked. Oh, and I believe he did everything short of deliberately throw that game against Dunfermline, just to make a point. I find that very hard to forgive. If we win more games, and see an upturn in performances, then even if we get relegated, I'll be happy to say I was wrong. I would love to be proven wrong, and I hope I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptie Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The notion that the management sent out a team to get deliberately horsed is just so far fetched it's unreal, They tried something different for a game and it didn't work that's all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gave people a chance against Dunfermline it was absolutely the correct thing to do so he could make a judgement and do what was required in January (what you’re seeing happen right now!!!!!!!). That cup is a total waste of time especially considering the position we were in in regards to squad depth and size at the time the game was played Also I don’t think anyone has ever truly believed we had turned any corner and I don’t think I have actually seen anyone say that on here this season, when would anyone have said it we had only won 2 games prior to Saturday? After Morton there was maybe optimism we could go and kick on our season but that was pretty early on and after Hamilton there was not that reaction as the game was absolutely terrible Going forward and having two proper wide men on the park Saturday and a big lump of a centre forward (with guys like Bobby and Hilson in reserve on the bench and a player as important as Ricky missing) was extremely encouraging as was the performance of El Mhanni and Balde. El Mhanni showed against probably the best team in the division at their ground that he has got so much to offer especially considering it was his first game in god knows how long. He tore Cammy Kerr to shreds that badly he got subbed off!!! Also did all the dirty work. I do not know how he will do going forward but all things considered that was extremely encouraging, he could not have done any better he exceeded all expectations and it made us look like a completely different team. Balde too, 21 year old with a great touch and composure on ball signing for 18 months too along with an experienced guy like Dow whilst getting rid of Fosu/Corfe/Isiaka/Hancock means the squad looks totally different and there’s not just reasons to be positive for the next 6 months but even beyond that. Signings like Dow and Balde, solid signings that have some continuity to them is a positive for the group overall and should make guys want to stay here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
