Get the impression he wasnt completely happy here recently. Still have a sizeable squad, could more be set to go? You might well be right. At his age he probably wanted to be starting every week. Still got good couple years or so in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Just studied the table there. Not exactly spoiled for goals at Beechwood, eh? Best defensive record in league but second worst goalscoring record 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best defensive record in league but second worst goalscoring record Yep. We've been pretty respectable defensively after some calamitous early season capers at the back. Could really be doing with someone who can score 20+ a season in the league but those aren't easy to come by. Back in action tomorrow anyway, weather is looking good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well funnily enough, I heard Troon have a boy who knows his way to goal. Think he's Mark somebody-or-other. See if he's any good and let me know will you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's 100% going to score against us tomorrow again now I'm saying this but I think he went at the right time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Another progressive performance today. The side is looking more like a coherent team unit these days. We have two of the hardest games of the season coming up in the next fortnight so I suppose we'll see where we are after that. The horror shows of St Andrews and Broxburn are still too recent in the memory for me to get carried away with a couple of decent performances but in general, there are enough shoots of recovery to hope we can finish the season respectably and with a bit of optimism in the bank for the one that follows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll need to defend a lot better against Clydebank & Beith. Goals we lost today were shambolic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCracken seems to be permanently injured. Agree about McPherson though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southerner Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 All about the 3 points today after the festive lay off. Room for improvement as always but whilst we won’t win the league we will have a say in it as we will take points off teams above us as the season goes on, hopefully starting next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot supporter Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Decent performance and a good 3points but lost 2 bad goals both from the same area, for me the 2 Neil's need to play at centre back , who would you have at right back and left back, could McCracken play at RB ? And we can see from both goals that's its our left side that an issue. Cant make those mistakes next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant make those mistakes next week Abed is a right back and had a good game against VOL and then not a sniff of the ball this week. Neilly should be centre of defence. Sconville left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southerner Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 We did lose two bad goals but in context have conceded the fewest goals in the league I think. The first one was a cross from the left but not dealt with in the box, second we had committed too many men forward and Gilroy who has pace to burn took advantage of being one on one. Hopefully those goals just a bit of rusty ness 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lokloyal Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think what was said earlier is spot on-Auchinleck even if not likely to win the league are more than capable of beating every side in contention home or away so will have a big say in what happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Nelly at RB still seems weird AF. Just so accustomed to seeing him at CB. I'm always a fan of players being used in their natural positions to get the best from them, which for him is 100% in central defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is absolutely head and shoulders better than the rest and sprinting away with it and there are a lot of decent teams with little between them quality wise, I'd say we're pretty much where we deserve to be in the table and the better sides would still be too good for us if they were on their game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot supporter Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Think the next 2 weeks will determine where our team is quality wise , compared to the top table teams in the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
