Aye if it was just Dowds and McAvoy out as the long term ones I'd say depth is fine. There's just too many that are starting / playing regularly the now that should be the ones providing the depth to come in here and there if needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. Good to have Murphy back and get minutes and also McLennan get game time. If I was in any way convinced that McMann in particular plus Devlin were likely to come back soon and stay fit then I'd be pretty optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t look cohesive but it’s because we’ve got so many guys playing out of position. We started the second half with McKenzie at right back, McAllister at centre back, McLennan in midfield and Walker up front. We were better than Peterhead but it was a slog because of how disjointed we are. Hopefully we can get McMann back up and running again and with Musonda and Watret back as well it should be better next week but it’s a helluva game to go into on our form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambia have another game midweek so there must be a bit of a risk around Musonda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't really give any other answer publicly since I imagine this will be the highest the wage bill has been since the Barr years. The reality is excluding long term players, McAvoy and Dowds, we've got a 23 man squad and another 7 loan players that will train a couple of times a week with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F.T.O.F.1910 Posted Saturday at 15:52 Share Posted Saturday at 15:52 (edited) I think, most of us dreaded being miles behind Falkirk after they played catch up games. The table still looks good but I reckon this coming game against Livi, is our biggest this season, so far!

diegomarahenry Posted Saturday at 15:53 Share Posted Saturday at 15:53 Dreadful game and a poor performance but with the amount of changes and players out of position, you could kind of expect it. Next week will be a different story though, that’s the game we need a strong performance in to prove a point. We Struggled in the first half with Syla at right back getting forward and in the second half with McKenzie defending. That made us imbalanced, Howley going off didn’t help either. McLennan was poor, played in 3 positions and didn’t really do anything in any, he had a couple of decent runs but just ran in to more and more trouble in every one. Henderson looked knackered in the second half. Oakley didn’t really show for anything. Stone wasn’t convincing at all with very little to do. McCallisters passing is dreadful but he defended well again, Stanger and Dempsey were amazing again. Rus made is more lively and brought Hastie and Walker in to the game much more. I feel that with Watret and Musonda in the team, we’d have won it more comfortably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him a chance ffs, it’s his first game for a while and playing in a team with loads of changes what are you expecting? f**king Messi?! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted Saturday at 16:23 Author Share Posted Saturday at 16:23 I might be in the minority but I thought Stanger was minging on the passing front. He was fine defensively but wasn’t up against much but his passing is really poor. I thought Dempsey was the clear standout, Henderson did well and so did McKenzie but you could tell he wasn’t comfortable there. I thought McLennan was ok but was trying a bit too hard. Couple of runs he had where he should’ve passed and he didn’t. I think he’ll get better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of passing was very poor, some of that can be blamed on the blustery conditions, but 5 and 10 yard passes were going astray. I fear for next week and what the lineup will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpInTheAyr Posted Saturday at 16:31 Share Posted Saturday at 16:31 "That’s why it was good to get Connor in this week - he’s above this level and is a lovely player on the eye. He will bring a lot for us.” Will see how this pans out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it sounds like you were expecting prime 2015 Messi! He signed last night and may have had a few training sessions before coming in and playing 3 positions in a disjointed team. I just don’t know what you want? If he came in and was rank rotten then I could understand but everyone else said he was ok nothing special which was understandable but you seem to be going in a little two footed here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few folk online do the same too (and also my old man on Whatsapp). I hope he's not going to be the instant target of the boo boys just because he isn't an exact 15 goal big centre forward replacement for Dowds that everyone wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
