Gallagher was a victim of being severely misused by Aitken. As soon as we played him as a striker he started banging them in and actually didn’t match that season’s tally until his 3rd season with Ayr.
He’s an excellent lower league striker and it’s criminal we spent 2 and a half seasons playing him out wide.
That’s a very good 3 points in what was horrid conditions. I thought we dealt with Clyde well in the first half and we looked a lot more dangerous than they did with the wind at our backs.
For a team fighting for their lives I found Clyde’s 2nd half tactics bizarre. The weather was obviously brutal but they were quite literally camped in their own half the entire 2nd half and the goalie got booked for time wasting after 57 minutes. Even with the wind at your back defending can be dodgy so surely to god you at least have a bit of a go. They got what they deserved in the end.
This is exactly what I’m thinking will happen.
We’ve done very well to go in at 0-0 playing into that wind and we even had a few semi decent chances to score. Some of our players are seriously struggling to adapt - Hogarth with his punts straight into the air and Lennon with his constant cross field rakers that are just dying in the air and causing us all sorts of bother.
Shoot on sight in the second half please Sons.
I see Callum Wilson is injured again. I thought he looked very unfit (which is understandable) but he seemed to be starting every game. It felt like a lot so soon after such a long lay off, he wasn’t really eased back in at all.
Meronk who is usually one of the most consistent players on the European Tour has had an utter nightmare the last 2 days. I wonder if it has just been an off week or if it’s a bit of rust from playing on that daft ‘growing the game’ tour.
Was dry all of yesterday and it has only started raining here in the last five minutes. The Met Office forecast doesn’t look too bad tbh. It’s to be extremely windy around kick off time so that may cause some issues.
It’s got to the stage where I wake up in the morning and check the leaderboard to see who might be able to beat Scheffler. The guy is absolutely ridiculous.
