I'm always a bit suspicious of players who have scored a stupid number of goals at a lower level, very few seem to make the step up. But from the highlights he seems like a guy with a bit of everything. It might just be the hairline, but the way he controls the ball, his layoffs and his finish last night gives me prime Liam Boyce at Ross County flashbacks. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on in the league. It feels like the onus is really on him to be your goalscorer this year, and so far he looks very comfortable in that role. To be fair, goals are coming from elsewhere, it’s not so much goalscorer but front man. Just someone to lead the line and he’s been excellent at that so far 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a bit of a point to prove in the spfl too with how things went for him in the past. I agree with most of what you're saying, he's also got a wand of a left foot. the only slight issue maybe so far has been a rush to get his shots off at times but when he does show the composure like he did for the 3rd goal there's nothing not to like.

SlipperyP Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Are we now at a stage that we're going to St Mirren on Saturday to get through to the next 16 of the League cup, yes we are. Are we going to do it? Who give a f**k. Travel in numbers Loons, we have not been this happy for a long time, It can change in a day, see last month. Anyone not able to travel, PM on the Satuday, I'll find a stream for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might well be for some giving how well we're playing, however last time we were favourites for a league we bottled the title In the last couple games to our Angus rivals Arbroath. I think most of us are cautiously optimistic with that in recent memory but we are very much excited after this group stage to see what we can do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's them humped. Last year it was Stenny, the season before that (in L1) it was Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still going to be/has been an air of directing the majority of praise to the players from supporters. Not everyone here will agree but until we're still looking this good about October/November time then that's when I'll personally start signalling Ray out for the praise but for now I'm fully bigging up the players who have been brilliant in the few games so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's perfectly ok to praise McKinnon and the players right now. McKinnon turned Forfar around from what was heading for a disastrous season, and now is building a squad that is playing together as a team, is motivated and playing some excellent football. Also, I felt that in the dismantling of Arbroath there was a definite change of atmosphere and buzz of excitement around the place. Early days, obviously, but I'm definitely looking forward to the new team and new season.* *And hoping this doesn't come back to bite me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a P.R disaster if he upped and left again. If he makes it to May I think we’ll be champions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
