BIGdavieT Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Atkinson time has come to move on no good to anyone him on the bench every game.Hilson contract has to be a play and pay contract Surely we can, gamble on his fitness again. If/when we get to the point that the playoffs are out of sight, one of the first things Naysmith should do is get Atkinson in the office and say "now's your chance lad!"Get him between the sticks for the rest of the season and let's see if he can earn a place next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would indeed be interesting to see him give a chance if only to see how he compares to Lee in that department. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Not much point to this post but I see your ex-manager won player of the month for league 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakpiegravy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Is he really that good though? He's not played often enough to make a judgement.Several managers have overlooked him and it can't just be his age that has counted against him. Tend to agree. Haven't seen much of him lately but recollection was that he didn't seem very imposing and positionally a bit erratic. He's probably improved since then but clearly be better with more game time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM_1919 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I always remember him having good first games when he's came in, then giving away a penalty? Sent off in another? In the games after...Could be wrong though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 ONE point in NINE not good enough, surely Naysmith must see Dobbie will never be a lone striker give the player a chance his confidence must be getting low! He was flying earlier on in the season but he was getting a lot more help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was flying earlier on in the season but he was getting a lot more help. That's Gary Naysmith now had 15 games: 4 wins, 5 draws, 6 defeats. An average of 0.88 points per game. Played out across the season so far we would be in the relegation play-off on 24 points and the teams around us would have a game in hand. Obviously fifteen is an arbitrary number in a 10 team league and I am just picking it up because I am feeling disillusioned right now. Still not great reading (and a worse record than Skelton, although he jumped after four defeats in a row and no wins in eight, so not comparable).

Guest Flash Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I think since before Naysmith came in, the real target has been staying up. The talk of 4th was horseshit. Naysmith moaning about not getting a point tonight. Plus Robinson timewasting in the first half of the last 2 games. If we were genuinely trying to finish 4th, we would be busting a gut trying to win. Not trying to grind out a point. Don't get me wrong, staying up is fine after the run we had when we were heading straight down. But thinking we could finish 4th with that defence and latterly with the way we have been playing is delusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield 53 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Scott Mercer has to do better.He is our weak link in defence the step up had been to much for him.I just hope we did not pay £10,000 for him. Naysmith has a huge job in the summer the squad needs major work just hope he is up to the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you Hamill had another poor game too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthetop Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 If Naysmith thinks Queens were worth a point tonight he's deluded.Awful performance couldn't string a pass together. As for Robinson booked for time wasting when we have to win the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 That's Gary Naysmith now had 15 games: 4 wins, 5 draws, 6 defeats. An average of 0.88 points per game.

Still not great reading (and a worse record than Skelton, although he jumped after four defeats in a row and no wins in eight, so not comparable). I can't say in all honesty that I have been impressed with Gary Naysmith.East Fife supporters were very critical of the style of football that they played under him and sadly we are seeing a very similar pattern developing.Defence has been awful, midfield can't keep the ball, and up front we are simply wasting our marquee signing by not deploying him properly.No sign of any innovative tactics or coaching that leads you to believe that it will not be more of the same between now and end of season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thinking we could finish 4th with that defence and latterly with the way we have been playing is delusion. Pretty much this. Before a ball was kicked (and certainly before Dobbie signed) I think most thought 7th/8th was the realistic target. The run at the start got everyone expecting too much (myself included). The fact is that even though the football has been very poor at times, 5th spot would be an excellent finish this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An average of 1.21 per game, which would be 34 points, roughly where we are just now. If the Dundee U cup game is included, it is 17 points from 15 games, which is 1.13 per game which would be about 32 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
