RandomGuy. Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Goalkeeper is one of the positions were stats shouldnt be too heavily, if at all, used to rate how good they are. Would be interesting to see Birighittis figures in Australia as it might explain why you signed him, based on stuff ive seen from his time there he looked like a bombscare even then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It increasingly feels like the only solace a supporter of either our clubs can take when their respective club has made a total arse of themselves is that it won't be long before the other goes out of their way to out-do them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Middleton is one of the few I'd be keen to keep. Was really coming onto a game before that injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Plenty of other clubs in the country making signings and announcing pre season friendlies. This summer can't be a replica of last summer when the club went to sleep for weeks before making a series new sponsor announcements, before finally making a singing in July. We can't just write off June as 'holiday'. We probably have to ship a few out the door first (will be expensive) but it needs to happen soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting Goodwin to have a photoshoot with 15 new players. All to have big cheesy grins while holding scarves above their heads, all primed and ready for the new season. I mean, he's had days since he was given the gig permanently, he could have had all that wrapped up by now. Goodwin out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposition teams could sit in their team bus for 90 mins and Niskanen would still lose control of the ball and/or miss the target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 You can't keep everyone who might have "something" to offer but I'd be happy enough with Niskanen staying. He's been better played further forward in his natural position and is versatile enough to fill in as required elsewhere. He's also a genuinely good guy, I think, with a great work and team ethic. That must be worth something even if he's not the best technical player in the world. Reminds me a bit of Paul McMullan in terms of workrate and lack of ability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB-Scotland Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Aye he's been decent whenever played as an out and out winger, last season in particular he really paid for the change to a back 5 as he struggles to get forward as a wing-back and usually ends up outnumbered, 1-on-1 he does get a few crosses in. Still think we can do a lot better as our first choice winger, but as a squad player I wouldn't be too fussed if he stayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I must have missed the games where Niskanen played as a winger and was good instead of punting the ball off the park and missing sitters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'm sure we could get better but not as a championship club. Absolutely fine with Immi staying. Wingers are confidence players, he's got the right attitude and work rate hopefully a run in the team gets him sharper. Don't think he would be the worst option to have against "worse" team with his pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
