IpswichLoon Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Reading all this about Mckinnon and his negative shite is reminiscent of when Mick McCarthy was at down here at Ipswich, boring, turgid crap beyond belief, playing Two defensive midfielders at home to Rotherham Utd ffs and being happy "we got a draw" the fans turned, the abuse started, the season was lost but thankfully he did one and took his massive ego with him. Mckinnon sounds like he's from the same mould. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some will say "who cares he was useless" but I think he showed some good movement and looked tricky to opposing defenders, and would have liked to see him play some more games to see what promise he has. Definitely wouldn’t say he’s looked useless, had a few good touches and runs, but don’t think he’s any better than what we have already sitting on our bench. With Skelly back and Ferguson probably going to be first name on the team sheet, I think he would probably be 3rd choice striker so would make sense to return to Dundee imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Here's a conversation starter. According to The Courier, Ray has elected against arranging a friendly/bounce game this weekend. So, what would you do, and for what reasons? No friendly - allows those injured to recover and gives players a rest (Ray's reasoning). Play a friendly against a local junior side. Keeps fitness up, allows those coming back to get minutes and probably win therefore lifting a bit of morale. Another option, details, reasons and why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForfarLoon84 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Definitely would have had a friendly, give the players who don’t get 90mins every week 90mins to keep match sharpness. Skelly last week looked like he needed to get some match fitness back. Maybe against a lesser side in the hope Ferguson would maybe get a couple of goals and get confidence up. 5 weeks or so into the season, don’t see how the players would need a break. But he must have his reasons for doing so?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Having this extra week to get ready for the Spartans game leaves zero excuses for ray if we don't put a performance on, And I don't mean playing good for half and hour and scoring one goal because that's not cutting it any more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For things to be any different, he needs to make changes and I can’t see him doing that. The longer we go without a win, the safer he’s going to play. We need to make changes and go out and attack a team from the start, not wait until 70 minutes then put on attacking players and pray they get a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Short term loan. So if he is any good we'll be back to 6 defenders in the team 1st week of January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridie Vision Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Absolutely cracking signing (should be). Please Ray, play some attacking football on Saturday. I wonder how we'll line up at the weekend, maybe this? McCallum Morrison, Munro, Allan Nditi, Whatley, Inglis, Moore MacLeod, Skelly, Ferguson The front 3 being very narrow meaning all the width comes from Roberto & Smokie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Forfar Athletic not Real Madrid, a good season (in league 1) is getting play offs (which we usually bottle) or 5th place. If you care so much about us winning as many titles as possible then you must be really miserable. I always want Forfar to win as many games as possible. I find as I grow older its possible to enjoy specific results, but not entire seasons, unless something memorable happens. I've seen some great performances in some "terrible" seasons, and some terrible performances in some "great" seasons. I don't subscribe to the idea that that football played under Gary Irvine was good at any point, though results were, at one point, for a short period of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is Hutchinson out for? If he’s still out for Saturday I’d play that lineup but move Whatley into defence replacing Munro to fit in Seb Ross somewhere 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown next to nothing so far I agree, everytime he comes off the bench he creates something and always looks to go forward, would like to see him get a start at home. We’re really going to have to change our style of play to utilise Macleod, we cannot punt high balls up to him, needs to be played through the midfield into his feet, through the lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForfarLoon84 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 I have a funny feeling we are getting our first 3 points today. Hopefully a couple of changes, nice slick wet pitch we can get the ball down and play some decent football today with the right team out there. Attack, attack, attack……please!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
