Rodders1910 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I don't think Sanders is as bad as people make out tbh. Has had a few brain farts since joining but could be down to a lack of game time before arriving. He's shown signs of being capable at this level and is much better at passing the ball out from the back than McGinty is 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's shown signs of being capable at this level and is much better at passing the ball out from the back than McGinty is Twice since he’s joined, he has received the ball from the keeper, controlled it under no pressure, froze and stared in to space for several seconds before being dispossessed of the ball. That’s more than a brainfart. You can excuse his own goal, maybe even being at fault for two goals in the same game by being out of position for exactly the same ball twice…..but collectively, in what, 10 games? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Can’t say I’d be surprised if we signed Sanders permanently. He’s the one defender that has played consistently under Brown (once he got in the team) and hasn’t been dropped after a mistake despite the same fate befalling other members of the squad such as McGinty and Syla. I think there’s room for improvement but I also think he’s a pretty bog standard centre half for this league. If you pair him alongside someone else who’s better then he’ll be fine. A bit like Aaron Muirhead. Can see it more likely that McGinty and Musonda leave in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Sanders might actually work quite well in a back five as the right side of the three center backs, has a bit of pace, can pick out pass if Brown can coach out the brain farts (the send goal against Raith is a stand out for me) he could do well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The problem is, we should be looking to bin as much of that defence as possible. Yet McAllister new contract, Reading not far off being announced, rumours of Clarke and Sanders signing with McGinty and Stanger already under contract. Jeez Louise will we ever learn? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Even if Brown thinks he can get a tune out of this defence, realistically how much can you accomplish with them, even with the best coaching. I don't think I've got any more leeway to give them and would prefer to just rip it up and start again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 When McGinty joined at first he was good in the air but an absolute bombscare using his feet but i would say he has improved on that side of his game while at the club, there's nothing to say Sanders can't make that improvement too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, You could argue that McGinty improved a lot under Bullen. I was a hater originally. With Bullen gone now, it'll be good watching to see how Sanders turns out under Brown if he is signed permanently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursty7 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 We also have Whittaker who was a very good defender in his day to coach the back line Brown can coach the midfield and bring in McFadden to coach the strikers and we are all set (tongue in cheek here) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rb123 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 7 hours ago, AUcal said: Was looking into our season and noticed that our points and goals scored under each manager are almost the same - the difference being the number the games played under each. 23/24 Points: Bullen - 20 points from 20 games. PPG - 1 Brown - 19 pts from 12 games. PPG - 1.58 There's also 1 league game played, a win at home to Arbroath, that came after Brown was appointed but before he was in the dugout. 23/24 Goals Scored: Bullen - 20 games - 25 goals - GPG 1.25 Brown - 12 games - 23 goals - GPG 1.91 Again, 2 goals scored at home to Arbroath under Davie White aren't included in either total. A marked improvement over the course and I suspect we may pick up some additional points somewhere in the last 3 games. Still hoping for a pretty major overhaul of the squad in the summer, not sure to what extent that will be, but I'm feeling relatively content for now. I'm relatively confident we'll avoid 9th at this point and hopefully there's a decent summer of recruitment ahead. I mean as proven here Brown has got 19 points from 12 games, with 36 games over the season that's you finishing on 57 points which would probably be enough for top 4 based on this season. Throw into the mix 2 or 3 quality signings for this level in the summer and you should fighting at the right end of the table next season, as we're all well aware it doesn't take a squad of world beaters to be competitive in the championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly that wasn't at this level but bombing fullbacks who can't really defend are not really a highlight of the Scottish secind tier. 2 hours ago, ComradeDiego said: Must be the only one Even if Ayr pick up zero more points this season it'd still require multiple other teams to massively buck their trends.

AUFC 1910 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I’m guessing it will go down to the last game of the season - mathematically anyway. I can’t remember the last time we had a meaningless end of season game - wouldn’t mind one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but in a league where every team slits each others throats on a weekly basis I’d say it’s entirely rational. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
