I believe we have a couple of games remaining after this one so not quite our last chance for points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with a point and would feel we're almost over the line if we manage to take a point. If we lose it's not great but we'll still have time to recover given Stirling and Annan play each other. In all honesty I'm fully expecting all 3 sides to be on 37 points come Saturday night. Anything better than that for us will be a massive bonus. Every game is a must win at this time of the season . We get a result at Stirling then we are safe. If me I would go tor it take the game to Stirling . It will be a physical game hope none of our players disappear when the going gets tough.. Surely Marv will start Gibson and get Connelly back in the team.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's your standard "go to" point of view, but ... this is Scottish third tier fitba', so all games at this level are "physical" to a degree, aye? But yeah, Gibson and Connelly just have to start, this is the game to really go for the three points and damage Stirling in the process as we still have another two games to go as backup if it doesn't go to plan on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will go not to lose rather than going to win it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I normally have a player I dislike each season (it's a bit of a habit) but I like to think it's always rational. Am I way off with Ferguson? I genuinely don't see what he brings to the side. At times he was actually standing getting in the way today. Have to feel for Cochrane and Todd (thought the latter was good again today) every week as they're doing the job of 3 men. He seems to have a shot every so often to make us aware he's on the park but I struggle to see what else he does. It's absolutely criminal he starts every week and incredible he stayed on the park today and Gibson and Reilly were hooked. Does anyone else see something I'm clearly missing? To balance it out, I really didn't like McClelland for a long time but I think the boy has matured over the season. He seemed to give away a needless foul every single week but he's cut that right out, he rarely loses a header and he doesn't shitebag out of challenges. He's constantly shouting as well. Would be happy to see him back next season. Him alongsid Brydon and maybe an experienced guy and we'd be ok at the back. As we were today when Kilsby was finally dropped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an interesting one, because I agree with you on Ferguson, and Todd being good again today. However, I was speaking to a scout for a potential playoff opponent at half time today and he liked the look of Ferguson, and thought Todd was the big issue in midfield. Intriguing how others can see it so differently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipmat Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I can only assume, to use a well-worn cliche, that Ferguson "does a lot of the unseen work for the team"... because I've failed to see it. Speaking of things unseen, what's happened to Houston? Has he picked up another injury? I know Bartley regularly used him in the scapegoat role, but now he seems to have lost his place on the bench to Jay Burns. I would have thought that at this stage of the season having one of our more experienced players around would be more beneficial than deciding that this is the right time to potentially blood a youngster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen of him, he doesn’t create chances, he can’t tackle and he doesn’t carry the ball up the pitch for us. He was a player I was excited about when he signed for us, but he’s been absolutely awful all season in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even spent time watching him off the ball and don't see him doing much there either tbh. He always looks lost to me. But as I've said before, in his defence, most of the side look lost when trying to carry out Bartley's tactics. It won't surprise me if the boy goes on loan to a side with a manager who isn't completely useless and do well for them next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the Loch Ness Monster and the Ark of the Covenant, spoken about a lot but probably don't exist in reality. Certainly not in evidence during today's shit show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Aye, Ferguson was posted missing today. Why he was on the field and Connelly was warming the bench beats me. If there was a discipline issue, surely it was dealt with last week - to not play Lee today was plain criminal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bod Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Feel we're shooting ourselves in the foot here with keeping Bartley in post. We're at the time of the season where clubs are quietly talking to players and getting squads sorted for next season, who's going to sign for this clown? It's common knowledge lots of punters won't be renewing season tickets or coming to watch while Bartley's in post which should be a real concern. There's talk of it costing circ £50k to get rid, surely that would be the best money spent for a while. I'm sure there would be an increase in support and a buzz about the place next weekend if he was gone. The club is in a downward spiral and we need to address this asap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
