sonsational Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm shocked. You miss the Hibs and Falkirk home games, but return for an away day in Dumfries. Where, handily for you, we get pumped. Just bad luck, eh? I watched the Falkirk game on tv, i wasn't at hibs and yes i was at dumfries, ? You need a tinfoil hat with your conspiracy theories.

When was the last win you saw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Aye we were. It would be a decent shout if he was actually a competent football player. Unfortunately that's where the plan falls down. I've watched the highlights back and, to be fair to him, he wasn't as horrific as Saunders, Barr or Wright. But he did his usual thing of not having a position. I clocked him at CDM, CM, upfront and right-wing. I think it's his lack of positional discipline that's his main issue - although that may well also be Aitken's fault for not giving him decent instructions. In all honesty we could've stuck Mark Brown on at half-time, or me, or a seat from the stand and it wouldn't have made any difference. The team had long since chucked it. I've just finished watching the highlights for a third time in detail for the blog and I can safely say that the defending we exhibited was worse than anything I've seen at boys club level. Whenever I see the Mantis turning round, surprised that an opposition player is behind him I'm going to have flashbacks to this game. By the way, what was the point in signing Kler Heh? Stevie's signing policy is leaving a lot to be desired - Craig, Ross, Smith, #666, Osei-Obengo etc. Fair enough but his options from the bench are limited and Gallagher has been out for a while, which may explain some of his poor play. I don't know why I'm looking to protect Gall so much mind you but there we go. Kler Heh is, clear as day, a gamble on a recommendation but when he actually arrived we realised he was nowhere near the standard. As such he'll sit on the bench and make a few cameo appearances before going back to Sheffield United probably never to make it. I hope I'm wrong, as it's a lovely story and by all accounts seems a nice wee guy but it's another one to add to the ever-growing "failed signings" list you allude to. His signings in the summer forced this situation, I expect a more reasoned and researched approach this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 His signings in the summer forced this situation, I expect a more reasoned and researched approach this summer. In fairness there was no squad when he arrived. If he's in charge next season i expect he'll do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be true, but it gave a free reign to build the team he wanted. We built an unbalanced, uncreative team. I do agree though that he should do a better building job next year.

His signings in the summer forced this situation, I expect a more reasoned and researched approach this summer. I've seen you queuing after matches to get your picture with him, don't you worry your secret's safe with me The whole player recruitment thing has worried me to be honest. At first it was understandable, looking to build a squad from scratch so bringing in a few lads who've had decent seasons at lower levels and won't cost much, but now I'm beginning to wonder how much this has cost us. Looking through his signings - with the aid of coloured font - I decided I'd decide how many have been a success... Mark Brown - Maybe I'm being harsh, but is he an upgrade on Ewings? I don't think so, doubt he's on a low wage either Darren Barr - Has some poor games, but more often than not has looked good. Especially in recent weeks in midfield Frazer Wright - Excellent signing for the most part, although he's been awful recently Steven Saunders - Controversial one, has he actually been any good? Taggart started the season in excellent form, and I'm not convinced Saunders is a better right-back. Perhaps give him a chance at centre-back, but he's done little to impress me at RB Mark Docherty - Perhaps not the most gifted player, but he's a hardworker, seems to care, seems like a good lad and has scored and assisted some important goals Gregor Buchanan - Jury still out? Looked a cracking player at the start of the year, but is prone to mistakes. I'll still give him a green as he's been solid enough Calum Waters - Defensively poor, decent going forward. Probably not a bad option to have in the squad, although should be used as a left-winger Jon Routledge - Good one. Nae doubts about that. Aye he's ill-disciplined, but I'm still amazed a bigger team didn't come in for him. Unsurprising if he is off in the summer Willie Gibson - What a player he could be. Once every 3 months or so. Won us the Hibs game, rescued a point against Raith when all else was lost. Got a few assists but was infuriatingly inconsistent. The fact he left after 6 months means he's a red Scott Brown - Who? Oh aye him. He was tidy enough without doing much Grant Gallagher - Think we all know my opinion here. Yaya Toure early on in the season. As soon as August finished he turned up about once - in the home win against QOS where he was excellent. Huge disappointment as he seemed to be very highly rated in League One Jamie Lindsay - Great success. Now stop playing him on the wing to accommodate Kirkpatrick Darren Miller - Yup Tom Walsh - He seems to only be able to hit overhit crosses into an empty box Kler Heh - Who knows? Looked too lightweight against Dundee, but to be fair they are a good team. Presumably not considered good enough Paul Heffernan - Too soon to judge Kevin Cawley - Hasn't been great, but has still been involved in the same number of goals as Garry Fleming this season, so credit for that. Always looking for the ball - and always giving it away - I'll give him a pass for his good stats Steven Craig - A stunning 20 minutes at Easter Road. Won the free-kick which we scored the opener from against Hibernian on the opening day. that was pretty much it Gordon Smith - Not up to this level at all Christian Nade - Eamonn Brophy - Decent, if not the most clinical. Disappointed we couldn't keep him for longer, but pleased he's doing well for Accies Stevie Ross - Doubts remain over his existence Just realised this is the match thread. Oh well, we gave you six goals so you're going to have to deal with my stupidly long posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
