ScottishLoon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) Picking out the strikers who had very little to sniff at after only being at the club for 1 week (in Ferguson's case only a few hours) is odd when you see how bad Watson and robson were today and for multiple games before too. Mutale was also just a few inches from having his good shot go over the line too. Edited August 26, 2023 by ScottishLoon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were miles off it last season, why would this season make any difference? Edited August 26, 2023 by Loon From Outta Toon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Rolls Royce players don't tend to work in Scottish League Two. Whatley is calming and can do a hold-up job, but needs better creativity around him - that should be Kinglis or Smokey. Munro as a captain is understandable. One of the longest serving players, is vocal and can command. However his limited footballing ability has nosedived and is as many have said a bombscare!

Guest Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Get Munro in the bin. Seriously though, the team as a whole looked better when he wasn't on the park & Morrison was the skipper. Big MunD seems to just shout at everyone & takes no responsibility for his own mistakes (of which there are many). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what way is Robson a "rolls royce of a player". What is it he's good at? Games completely pass him by. As for Moore we've seen him in the middle of the park over the years and he's never been creative in the slightest, another who's re-signing baffles me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally when we debated who might be captain this year I was for McCallum or Whatley. To be fair, Morrison who I didn't expect, gave a good account as captain when Munro was injured. But I agree blaming Marc for his own stupid back-pass/side-pass whatever it was Andy intended that led to the penalty was daft and should've gotten the yellow instead of Allan!

He's a Rolls Royce in the sense he runs smoothly, and passing is usually on point. So for a team that plays 100 5-yard passes tiki taka stuff he'd be good. But for playing in counter attacks or reacting to a breakaway he's not so confident, hence why most games here pass him by. Like I said with the right style and training he could be a gem, but he'll achieve little to nothing in the Scottish lower leagues. Personally, I think Smokey has done well this season whether at LB or CM. He's no Slater or Kinglis but I like him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A captain should be a player who leads by example . Not just because he can shout . See Robertson for Scotland or McGregor at Celtic , captains because they are class and the performances on field set a standard . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishLoon Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 The thing with robson is that he's clearly still learning the physicality and competitiveness needed in the senior game on the job and on the back of losing the comfort blanket of being a Dundee United player. I think today was made clear of how we need somebody who can come in and compete with him for that deeper creative role in midfield to give him a bit of a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Whately and Inglis is the best option in the middle of the park, hopefully we see it next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against it I just think he's better suited up the park where he can get shots off and put Balls in the box. He was the only one that looked dangerous out of the midfielders/wingers.

It should be all out attack IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
