Opposition fans almost always refer to him as a handful, and he's probably good for 6-7 goals a season if he starts more games. He doesn't hold the ball up as well as Main, but, frankly, who does? I like Greive, he's busy and committed. Whilst he gets stuck in he doesn't have the physical prescene of Main (like you say, who does?). I suppose Ayunga has that presence, so it's not like we would have no one to rough up any defenders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to pull a page from previous candidate's playbook, but took it a step further and it's backfired. Draw a line under it and get on with things now. Let that be the end of the ridiculousness. The behaviour of certain folk over the last seven days ensures that's the last thing that'll happen. Did the conference league/B team nonsense come up? Have asked SMiSA and John Needham on Twitter what the stance is but won't hold my breath. Edited May 18, 2023 by Stu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed a real change in Greive at the Hearts game, he was far more willing to get tore in putting his weight about and chasing every ball, a close season programme with a strength coach and some protein drinks would see him make huge gains for the start of next season and really push on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was what inspired my post, tbh. He really set about Hearts and put a real shift in. He'll never be prolific, IMO, but we've seen that's not necessarily our model for a forward anyway (as nice as it might be to have). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Greive has more to offer and will improve given chances, coaching etc. He is also capable of getting more than 7 or 8 goals, but needs to do to hold down a starting position - trouble is will he get a run of starts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd said on Saturday, for the time he was on the park, thats the best I've seen him. If whenever got taken off injured, who knows, he may have came up with the winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a player in there. He is a decent prospect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we were pretty comfortable until that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I’m happy with the contribution of Greive, Main, and Ayunga. Watt too. If any/all of them leave, would be an undoubted blow, working on that old adage that ‘is any new signing better than what we have already’. It’s modern fitba’ though. Wouldn’t be the same if you kept decent squads together. No, we need ten departures of guys we don’t really want to lose, and a pamper-soiling close season. Get it sorted Needham, Kibble, Mr. St Mirren, anyone. Get rid of these decent players… gie’s a rebuild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn’t seem to stop him having a go, and there were quite a few folk there who obviously hate the Kibble, although my take on it is they are just the vocal minority. There was a suggestion to have an independent audit of the facts, because both sides claim to have paper trails, so you’ve maybe not heard the last of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what the plans are. Gallagher isn't the most mobile. Some people say Fraser isn't the best defender, but is mobile. We need mobile defenders with Gallagher. Gallagher 100 percent the better defender, but isn't the quickest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
