da_no_1 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Incidentally, I would agree that Moffat is far from shite, at least from the games I've seen him in. He's looked a good player but who does far too much when he should be concentrating more on being available for chances. We've had plenty of players in the past who have had poor first seasons but have then gone on to be brilliant for the club. Instead of talking of punting him and calling him shite, maybe we should give him a chance? Revolutionary stuff. Wonder if it'll catch on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Revolutionary stuff. Wonder if it'll catch on? As our fans are total chumps, I'm going to guess no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 As our fans are total chumps, I'm going to guess no. Sadly, you're guess is probably a good one. I mean we know we are an utter shambles, a disaster, our coaching & tactics are still poor even though we've changed manager a week ago, we give goals away from set pieces by the bucketload, we've signed players who've turned from good to shite overnight & even though we got rid of the manager we said was to blame it turns out that one change hasn't resulted in instant success. But hey, we can still come on here & pretend we knew that was going to happen & that its now all Potter & McCanns' fault....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Taking them to Ayia Napa is probably out of the question at the moment but a night out at the Valley Bar could be just the ticket to loosen them all up a wee bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibuya Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Absolutely. I genuinely wonder how some of our fans can say Moffat played well yesterday. The guy has no pace and for someone seemingly with a good first touch, he was in with a great chance of scoring in the second half but had a horrendous first touch and screwed up yet another opportunity. Moff is actually quite quick but his first touch is one of the weakest parts of his game (alongside heading the ball)! Christ, the way you're all talking about his miss is as if he blootered the ball over the bar from an inch out. I watched it there and its just one of those things, stretching for the ball at the last second and directing it towards goal. He's unlucky, if he'd scuffed it then it might actually have gone in at the near post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_no_1 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 ^^^^verge of tears Not at all. I thought we played ok on Saturday, definitely worthy of a point. I could see definite changes in formation, tactics & with a bit of luck & if we'd taken any of the chances we created we could've got at least a draw. I am quietly confident JP can a bit more out of this squad than JJ would have if he remained in charge. Happy to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas1707 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 To be fair to Moffat he got it on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayhole Blue Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Worst finish of the day goes to the stranrear player that managed to give a throw in away from about ten yards out. Fiddling while Rome burns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had plenty of players in the past who have had poor first seasons but have then gone on to be brilliant for the club. Instead of talking of punting him and calling him shite, maybe we should give him a chance? If he's far from shite, will someone explain how his only goal in his last fifteen appearances has been a penalty? Why have our other strikers got better goals to games ratio than him? In regards to the second part, sorry i am not buying that. Firstly because the only recent example that i can of think is Steven Bell, albeit his first year was ruined by not being able to train during pre-season. Can you provide examples of a 30 year old who had a shite season that went on to do well for us? Its similar to the bullshit people are spewing about how if Moffat gets one goal, he'll suddenly take the league by storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, you can post insightful posts without resorting to insults or past grievances. I agree with what you are saying I am confident too but you have to say that with Potter and McCann part of the previous regime there has to be a small doubt. We are stuck with this situation now and I also think we can turn it around. I thought we would win on sat though so who knows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 His goals record is undoubtedly shite. I'd say utterly pish in fact. He does usually play well but that usually gets ignored when you're a striker and you don't score. Which I can understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many forget that Ross Jack was utter garbage in his first season at East End. He was 28 when he arrived. Slight difference in age I'll grant you.

GordieBoy80 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 George O'Boyle also took about 30 games to score his first Pars goal, I remember Pars fans being far more patient with him though as the aforementioned Ross Jack was on fire that season.

Shandon Par Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Petrie was another who made missing an artform before finding his scoring boots. Moff tends to scuff and sclaff - Petrie missed with style/power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
