To be called up by his country shows he is highly thought of. I thought that last night when he was played through, with a wee bit more confidence he would have taken it first time and lifted it over Lewis but it was his movement that created the chance. He definitely has potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I thought Grieve was pretty poor when he came on, first 5-10 minutes at least. He didn't really look like he knew what he was supposed to be doing, wasn't pressing well enough and often just looked like he was standing in the wrong place. He got a bit better towards the end of the game, but he's got a fair bit to learn. The drop off between Brophy and him was significant, but he's young, and looks like he has the physical attributes at least, so I'm hopeful he can do a job. Also, would be great for it to work out as it would be a great story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Shug Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 That’s a decent set of results for us tonight after last nights win. Pretty much gained points on everyone round about us. Just a pity that Dundee Utd managed to get a winner late on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 How can you seriously give an opinion on a young player like Greive after he’s had about 30 mins of game time as a sub. Ffs. Of course he’s going to be raw and not up to the pace of our game. I’m content to trust the management team on this one. They see him train every day and they obviously see a good prospect. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice video though - I'm absolutely all for a bit of spotlight on the club of any kind. And fair play to the guy for taking the route less travelled for these videos. Mind, after watching the Saints game, it looks like he was in Perth last night so he may not be leaving with the best impression of the standard of our top flight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tempting to say that it's literally only taken two positive results to completely change the complexion of our season, but I think it's the change in system that's really made me feel optimistic. Jim just showing he's prepared to flex is such a positive sign. I think pretty much every player has looked more comfortable so far (poss exception of Ethan who's suffering a bit of a dip) and Ronan on Tuesday who I think we can all agree probably isn't a pure CM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I take it some of you caught a bit of the St Johnstone Dundee game and thought, "thank f**k that's not us", because we've all seen that movie before. Struggling for confidence, a badly balanced team and the luck, what little of it around, doesn't go your way. A 0-0 draw is what that game deserved, as both team were rank rotten. I sat there thinking, "how nice it is to be out of reach of the relegation spot". Not that I want to jinx it but this could be the second season in a row where we've been able to relax come the end of the league. As for Greive, I should clarify. I've got nothing against him, I haven't written him off already, and of course I'd like the lad to do well. What I have heard is lots of people praising him, and I'll be honest I don't see where that is coming from. Just playing Devil's Advocate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the new system seems to be the reason we can now start looking up the table rather than down. Begs the question though, where would we be if we had done this earlier in the season?? The Dundee game at home for example we just weren’t at the races. A change of shape then or in the games that followed and we could be sitting with a few extra points on the board. That’s all irrelevant now of course but these next 4 games really could shape our season. We’ve got to fancy 8 or 9 points from them surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Auld fart alert… Anyone remember Steve Galloway arriving on loan from a Swedish club? Pre-internet, no online information about him. Never mind judging a player after 30 minutes, the old North Bank had him sussed in 30 seconds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great that we have a lot of young fans, as it assures our future. It is a bit embarrassing when some of them act like they're a firm of casuals, though! Ach, he'll have been expecting a dire game, I'd imagine - two teams low on confidence and finding it hard to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember the mess our "young team" would get into over the Renfrewshire cup, say two decades ago? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
