His finishing needs a lot of work and his decision making. He seems set on scoring a worldie rather than look for a pass. He looks pretty strong and harried the Alloa defence in the first half yesterday. I think it's clear to see he's not 100% fit though. For once I thought Bartley made the right call subbing him (sadly replacing him with the wrong person). I'm probably right in the middle with him. I don't think he's shite but I also don't think he's as good as some of the opinions on him. I'd say he's ok. Wouldn't be overjoyed if we got him next season and similarly wouldn't be as upset as I was when we got him this season. He’s one of the few i would keep for next year, adds a different dimension to the team and with the right manager and played in the right way could make an even bigger impact (esp in div 2). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually Bartley’s changes seriously weaken us but not yesterday - we finished the game quite strongly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bow to your view on Doherty (I assumed you were actually there) as I could only see what the camera picked up. Can't say I was impressed with him though. Running around a lot isn't worthy of praise for me. And I was absolutely screaming at the tele when he greedily had a tame shot when there were better options either side of him. Agree with McGuffie though. That's probably where he could be best used. Doesn't need pace and has the opportunity to have a strike or a through ball. For me I'd start him ahead of the ever anonymous Ferguson in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I am with Mumbongo^^^ At one stage in the first half yesterday he got the ball and just ran into a cul-de-sac before eventually losing the ball when there were good options either side. He needs to learn how to challenge without fouling. Booking waiting to happen every time and has been warned by the officials every game. I'd also like to see him win a header, never seen him win one yet for such a big guy he should be lethal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALOREBURNE Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 First new board member announced… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Seen that. No idea who he is (I doubt I'll know who any of the new board are tbf) but I'm happy the ball is rolling. Ideally we need a BoD in place before Bartley can start offering contracts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kunter Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I had the idea in my head the board would be assembled by the way of say a couple of known local businessmen who would hand pick their own team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the new guy on board. He's making the right noises without any bombast. Hope it all works out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
