I'm sure thats what the club official stats currently say. I am also aware there are some doubts surrounding the exact number which may or may not be cleared up in Iain McCartney's upcoming book. It likely wont be the only stat amended. I have begun a project to look at some of this myself but its on hold at the moment so for the time being I go with what the official line is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had it in my head the offside rule was a sixties thing when in fact its always been there in some guise or other. Post humbly edited. In the early days of the game, the offside law was actually much more stringent. You needed three players behind the attacker. Some Newcastle defender started exploiting it by playing to catch people offside, prompting a relaxation. Patterson's later era would have been more free scoring than is the case today, but offside would if anything, have been interpreted more harshly. He also got lots of goals for us in the (admittedly large) top flight, which instantly elevates his achievement. None of this alters how remarkable Dobbie has been for us though.

Northfield 53 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 We are now starting to find out our squad is not big enough . Against Thistle we could only really bring one sub on as the bench was full of young players . We can't change the team either so players can play poor and still play every week . Take Marshall for a example he had a very poor game against Thistle but will still play next week as we don't have anyone else Players need to be pushed to play well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in cuckoo land if you expecting a first team standard reserve for every position. Only Ross County can afford that. The bench is now about as strong as it can realistically be with Fordyce hopefully available next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched Charlie Exley play for the reserves he is the one player that has impressed me and is one of the few reserves that could step up to the first team if needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QosLoyal Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Big game next week and imo will be the most difficult of the season. Caley unbeaten so will be tough but hopefully we can get some sort of result before Alloa at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wouldn't have expected him to start today. I was not aware he is a defensive midfielder, I thought he was more attacking having watched his highlights, given the fact he led his US division in assists and chances created last season, and given his one game was as a sub for Harkins (though obvs that could have been tactical). Frizzel was the only sub this week (same as last week) despite it being true that (a) we were chasing the game and (b) Jacobs was apparently struggling. Either (a) or (b) would justify Norman Jr getting a run out, depending on his position. I think it's a fair question why he's not playing when Frizzel is. There's maybe a straightforward answer but it's a fair Q. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 We've seen very little of him but when he did come on he looked to be playing a more defensive role. He said in an interview he likes to get forward when he can which again I took to mean he was being told to sit back. Frizzell we know is attack minded so I think he's likely to feature a bit more. Given how poor we were centrally today it wouldn't have been a shock to see him feature but you take a risk in a game like that if he can't get up to the speed of the game quickly. Against Crusaders I think he looked very off the pace. On the discussion of CM. That's two weeks in a row I've found myself extremely frustrated with Jacobs. Two or three times today he got into great attacking positions and similarly he did it last week once or twice. But when he gets there he has absolutely no clue what to do. You have to believe if it was our attacking minded midfielder something could come from these opportunities. If you don't know what to do up there get fecking back Jacobs [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjord Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 There is a balance tween individual brilliance and contribution to a team! I think Stephen is a leader. I have watched him over the last few weeks he is a leader. Mickey also is a leader r. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
