D'Jaffo Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 All good, you’s still have Muirhead Who I would still have in front of either of them. That tells you all you need to know about how good Devine and Buchanan are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Buchanan is absolutely hopeless. Looked a bombscare playing in an expensively assembled Falkirk squad playing against part timers last season. I expected him to pitch up at one of those Queens Park, Kelty, Darvel sorts, not jumping up a division. He has two major errors in him a game and seems to think he's some sort of ball playing libero. See you on the beach in August 2021 lads!Things that bad at Falkirk you're expecting to be there next season as well? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of signings off being confident of us going up this season, one of which would ideally have been a CB. I'm delighted it's not Buchanan. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QosLoyal Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Muirhead is one of the worst in the league. Hopefully Buchanan wont be as much of a diddy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's only show much numbers can tell you about a player tbh, I've just noticed QOS fans not rating him before so his name stood out when looking at certain things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him breaking up play and make a simple pass and he’s fine, we had 3/4 midfielders that all wanted to play the same role. I feel pybus was pushed on to accommodate that and it isn’t his game at all. Or that’s what I’m trying to convince myself 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking up Championship played aged under 23/24, filtering by position, and then looking at the rankings. Pybus was top, or close to top, in most defensive "actions" for CMs. Edited August 17, 2020 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_M Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 4 hours ago, palmy_cammy said: I can vaguely recall getting really wound up by Buchanan during a game against Morton at Palmerston. I can't really remember the details, but I'm pretty sure it was along the lines that he was being very physical with our attackers, climbing all over them and swinging his arms about at set pieces etc. then up the other end when we were defending set pieces he was going down like a sack of tatties trying to win a penalty. For that reason alone I'm quite happy with the signing. We're long overdue signing a bit of a b*****d. We've had too many pea-hearted push overs in recent times. Oh he's a b*****d alright, but not the kind you are hoping for. They lynchpin of the Dunfermline defence as they finished 7th in League 1 and that's precisely where you are headed with signings like Buchanan and McKee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry would be about how they collect the data tbh, who's watching the games back and annotating who's doing what? I've never understood how they do that with stats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its €300 so depending on the exchange. ModernFitba do top flight stats, for passing and attacking for like £2.50 a month. Fbref do similar stuff for free, as do WhoScored now, but don't have as much detail as ModernFitba. For lower league stats I couldnt find anywhere that done them to the degree of Wyscout. Money is worth it for me, as I just think of its monthly payments and I have a use for it thatll last a full year. Some of their stats are a bit sketchy to me. You get clips to go with most "actions" so its worth watching them to figure out your own numbers based on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buchanan was certainly worse than Durnan. Hence Durnan and Hall being kept on and Buchanan being emptied. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The only reason that Buchanan wasn't the worst defender for Falkirk last season was Mark Durnan. Mark Durnan was a lot better than Buchanan last season tbh. As a partnership they were poor but once Buchanan was dropped Durnan was solid and most of the mistakes seemed to disappear from his game. Argument could be made for Mikey Doyle being worse than Buchanan though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
