  1. He's a terrible goalie. Mind watching the goal McKenzie scored up there last season to secure us second place and he looked like he’d been shot by a sniper when attempting to save his shot.
  2. That penalty decision is one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Thankfully it didn’t cost us.
  3. I would’ve thought McGinley was signed to eventually displace Musonda and even allow him to move back into central defence. It strikes me as a very short term signing and he’ll be away in the summer regardless. I know Brown has been tinkering with the squad as of late but McGinly at least has history of playing left back. I’d think for this double header against QP and Airdrie, where if we take all six points we could be safe, he’d go with someone who’s a bit more tried and tested.
  4. Guessing we’ll be throwing McGinley into the team against QP if Musonda is away on international duty?
  5. At least he’s firing now which might mean we end up getting a bit of cash for him. If Accies want him permanently I wouldn’t be giving him away for free.
  6. I don’t think anyone can question that Chalmers doesn’t run about a lot but he hasn’t got a defensive thought in his head when we don’t have the ball. Thats almost as bad when you expect everyone to be defending from the front. I like Chalmers, I think he’s a good player but I wouldn’t be spunking a load of money on him for next season as I think over the course of a season he doesn’t do enough.
  7. Delighted for Bryden to get a goal yesterday. I think you can slowly see signs of improvement in him since Brown came in. Lee Bullen obviously loved him but there was zero development on show since he made his debut against Arbroath about two years ago.
  8. If only the Caley had appointed Broony rather than large Duncan.
  9. I think he’s easily nullified imo. Too many times he disappears if a full back gets tight to him. I think he can still contribute this season as ultimately we cannot be using this team for the rest of the season. Murphy has to come back in as well. The only player I think that is 99% likely to be away next season is McGinty. I don’t think Brown rates him at all.
  10. We narrowly missed out Paton so then went into panic scatter gun mode and went for Graham and McKay. Both would’ve been decent signings but neither would’ve made sense as a long term replacement for Dipo as they have zero resale value.
  11. In fairness you’d be better with a Big Mac playing right back than Nick McAllister.
  12. That’s a brilliant fact, how did I never know that? Finished that European campaign undefeated as well with three draws but didn’t do enough to go through from the groups. Edit: Just checked and according to Wikipedia it isn’t exactly true although not far off. Toulouse played Lehenda Checksil on the same day at Dam Park however it was played a mere seven hours before the game at Somerset. All the games in that group were played in Ayr at either Somerset or Dam Park due to a chemical factory explosion in Toulouse where the games were initially due to be played.
  13. We don’t have to put a clause in. He can’t play regardless. I’ll be absolutely shocked if we actually finish 9th though. As said above if we win those three home games against Airdrie, Queens Park and Arbroath then we’ll be fine. I’d be expecting 7 points at the very least there.
  14. I don’t even think Syla was dropped for that. Brown spoke about making changes because we had three games in a week. Once McHugh came in and turned in the performance he did it was going to be hard to drop him. For me, I’d play all three of them.
  15. Aye I don’t think Tomlinson is ready but I think Murphy is more than able to play in a back 5. I kinda see him moving back to a full back role as he gets older anyway. Reads the game really well. I have no idea who else could play on the opposite side though.
  16. Me either but I think at a push he tries Tomlinson and Murphy as wing backs.
  17. I think we’ll see a 3/5 at the back tbh. Going by Browns comments I think McGinty will be dropped.
  18. Chalmers isn’t exactly hard to stop tbh. When he’s given time and space he’s very good but all it takes is someone to stick to him all game and he does very little.
  19. I don’t think that particular error comes from being asked to play out from the back. We punted it long all day yesterday and we went direct on Tuesday night. McGinty could’ve played it back to the keeper easily enough but I have no idea what he was trying to do with it. He just hesitates, which is what this group of players have done a lot of this season, and Kane nips in and takes it off him. There’s plenty examples of us creating a rod from our own back by trying to play out from the back this season (Albinson against Caley, Mutch against Dunfermline etc) but that was just a case of taking too long.
  20. Tuesday will have taken a lot out them but there’s also the factor that they’ve been playing at a higher intensity in the last two months that they were in the last two years. You’re spot on though that the majority of the squad isn’t good enough and we’re not going to get a consistent run of form for the rest of this season.
  21. Paul Smith looks like he has actual technical ability but nothing else. Can’t tackle, can’t press and is too easily shoved about. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t have a decent career at an Annan or Stranraer but I think most fans have accepted he won’t be good enough in this league.
