Naive yes Promising young manager highly thought of in non league game yes for sure I don’t think so. he recruited the players on what i imagine would be a decent budget for the league, certainly not pennies! hasn't recruited or coached well enough and today says they don't have enough fitness about them? He made Jordan Allan the skipper last week! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the players left from last season start handing in transfer requests, winning a cup double and now faced with a relegation battle this season. It all started with the sacking of the manager & backroom team before the Junior Cup Final & now going down the slippery slope, noone to blame but the guys at the top making the decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a commitee now that waxed lyrical cause friendly results were good but anyone who knew anything about football knew this squad would not be good enough for this league , this trying to get under 20’s through is all good and well but none of them are close to being good enough for this league , mick never played them , tony never played them and Michael Oliver isn’t going to play them as all he’s brought in is young boys from senior teams who aren’t good enough either for this league , I’ve no idea where we are going to get a victory from unless we get experienced juniors in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs at this level spending comparably outrageous sums of cash on players ALWAYS ends in disaster. It’s good at the time but it always backfires badly ultimately. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who the next would be We've got the headcounts for the LL/EoS Clydebank do provide figures online. League average last year 634. Which put them 1st in the EoS/LL headcounts. When this comes up, some Pollok fan will usually give a very specific number as they keep track. I just think its in their programme not online. My memory of it is that its often higher than Clydebank. Then its my dad's bigger than your dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thejackdaw Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Darvel giving Jordan Allan the captaincy is the most lobotomised decision ever and one that mick Oliver will never recover from . The Man is a thug wearing a football jersey and he's no example to anyone.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaguereformer Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Looking at Darvel fixtures, difficult to see where they will pick first points up from. Barring a disaster from Clydebank I think you can write that game off, I would be expecting the biggest score line of the season so far. Pollok is the following league game after that who are another team that have started well. I would also fancy Shotts to win as they are at home, big pitch and fairly well organised. Then Darvel are at home to JB, away to Cumnock, home to Hurlford, away to Beith, home to Dumchapel before being away on the 14th of December to Bens which is where I think they could pick up some points. I personally thought Darvel would have enough in the tank for another year in the prem before falling away there after. Baring considerable money being spent or Mick Oliver proving his doubters wrong I think this will be a very bleak season for the fans. When you seen Darvel committee on their facebook openly slating the manager, does he have long left? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
