He builds the play better than Dempsey does and he did have a good run of games up until the first half of the Queens Park game where he was very good in the first half before getting injured. Dempsey incredibly poor two games in a row now. I was overly harsh on Syla in my post, Senga and him haven’t had much of a run and to be fair to Syla, we have been worse since he was dropped. Young is the best of the three and if we could keep one, it would be him. He has the ability to be a top Championship midfielder at least in the coming 1-2 years and beyond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we know either way on Syla yet. All three of the central midfielders had shown flashes is ability, but until Young recently we hadn’t seen anything hugely consistent. Young now seems to be improving every week! I don’t think we’ll see Dempsey dropped to bring Syla back in though - Bullen has his favourites and it doesn’t matter how they perform. Certain players have always been dropped for the slightest thing (Amartey) and others can perform as they like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 39 minutes ago, BukyOHare said: Chris Maguire scored a penalty in the FA Cup today. Right footed high to the keepers left as well. The footballing gods are really loving us at the moment. I've seen Maguire a couple of times this year and he's a proper decent footballer once again. Clear that we got an unfit Maguire who was basically just using us as a glorified pre-season for 4 months to get back into shape after his ban before going back down south. Probably the only reason we were able to get him at the time. He'd have been far too good at this level if he was 100%, him and Dipo up front both at 100% would have probably been Moff/Shankland levels IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeDiego Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 (edited) Dont ever remember so many supporters abstaining from going to Somerset, no even in the Hopkin days. Hopkins tenure was pure anger and frustration, whereas this is pure apathy Edited January 6 by ComradeDiego 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr23 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Thanks all for the kind words about becoming a Dad! Living in Glasgow, I hope I can convince him/her not to support the Old Firm. Their local team will be Queen’s Park, so hopefully that’s a non-starter too. Just watched Bullen’s interview… He’s completely lost the plot. I don’t think any of us are doubting the player’s effort which he keeps going on about. It’s you Lee Bullen who we have completely lost faith in. A new manager would most likely get a better tune out this squad. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 This may sound weird at the start but hear me out... I noticed in the SRE today that there seemed to be a very large amount of kids about the place, parents too, who i'd guess a large percentage of them are there through these complimentary tickets which are being given out to schools. That in turn should be a really positive initiative if they were actually coming and seeing good performances and results but that's another discussion. What i'm getting at is that with a home crowd of 1,700 how many of them are complimentaries? I think once you took them out you'd be looking at the hardcore group of supporters being down to possibly as low as 1,300/1,400 which is a pretty alarming drop and fans voting with their feet IMO. However the freebies is somewhat glossing over the attendance figure being a lot grimmer than what it is... As @ComradeDiego says i've never known as many "hardcore" fans just now bothering atm and a large amount of the "young team" who had the drum and brought the atmosphere i've hardly seen at games since post Partick play off disaster in May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nickydevlin Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I know a few who aren't going back till bullen goes . Low crowd today but a winning team on the pitch you could double the attendance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I said earlier in the season I won’t be back and won’t spend a penny at the club until he’s gone. I said this pretty early in the season. first opportunity I get I’m going once he’s gone. I just hope it’s sooner rather than later I’m desperate for a game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 As people have said, the Kelty game will be an eye-opener for the board. Predicting a sub 1,500 crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rb123 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Is there an email address for the club that we can all just start emailing with our concerns. Might wake them up into something if they go in one morning with 500 emails in the inbox... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyIncognito Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Will definitely be less than 100 going to Arbroath next week and possibly a 3 figure crowd for the cup game if nothing is done. I don't plan on going to either. Smith at the end of the day is a businessman so if he sees attendances falling it may be the thing that forces him to act. 2 minutes ago, Rb123 said: Is there an email address for the club that we can all just start emailing with our concerns.

Could email the SLO but he has no real power, he could pass on concerns to the board but more than likely the messages would be ignored as that's not really what the SLOs remit involves. You could potentially email one of the directors or Mathie but this feels a bit extreme for my liking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been at Dunfermline and Morton game in the last week which seems bizarre Nah, he was at Somerset last weekend. The bold Dodds was on radio duty today.

I’ll be smiling at every pram pushing dad for the next year hoping it’s you. I’ll probably end up on some sort of ‘watch list’! I told my kids they could support whoever they wanted as long as it wasn’t the old firm but they have all naturally migrated to “dads team” anyway. What have I done to them…… 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t think Bullen is going anywhere, and his post match interview didn’t sound like someone who knows it’s the end. He is of course completely delusional, so who knows. Every defeat just seems to prove to him that he can turn things round. Not sure what’s keeping him here - no sign of him being offered a contract extension and traipsing up and down from Sheffield must be a right misery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
