Regardless of the few mistakes which are inevitable with a young player who hasn’t played much football I think he has been fantastic considering the circumstances I agree that McKay and Watson have both done well and are solid pieces for the team. Watson could do with development on his left thou, as he was abysmal at LWB...but on the right side, he’s a solid starter. I’d like to see him tried out at RCB in a 3-5-2 or 5-3-2 when Miller returns, see something like Miller/Watson/McKay/Bene/MacDonald (with an eye toward the future and knowing that Mendy is a possible replacement for Bene if he develops like JMcG expects) in a game with less importance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he’ll go to an English Championship side and there been a few of them scouting him too. The scouts sit in the main stand making notes every time Bowie does something good and if you are in or near the queue at the office pre game you often hear scouts asking for their comps by quoting the teams the represent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do scouts get into the games for free? Same deal for any team, if Davo is being sent to Airdrie on Saturday to watch Forfar, Rovers will email Airdrie for a complimentary to be put aside for him. Although not a written thing as far as I know all clubs abide by these considerations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good enough for a regular game with Rovers, then away to Sevco, and becoming a Scottish international player. I feel some Rovers fans are not the best judges of a players capabilities. TBF Davo could have played for scotland at that time,and probably could just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Fair play to Watson. He's been thrown into the deep end and held is own. This run of games will have done him the world of good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 On Gullan, he’s been very good and is getting better each week. He carries a constant goal threat and being able to score from Range ‘out of nothing’ is quite unique at this level. In a squad that lacks a main goal-getting striker, I think not getting him for the rest of the season would go in the ‘disaster’ category. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Hibs want him to stay with us or warm their bench? Honestly, game time benefits him and us, at the possible expense of Smith and/or Bowie. It’s, on the balance, better for us if he stays. It would be better if he was more of an example for Bowie and Smith to look up to, but it’s a start. Drop Baird, keep Gullan and team him with Bowie/Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with all of that but would also add that he's a lightweight shitehawk who gives up far too easily. First goal for Dumbarton came from him being out muscled in midfield and failing to either try to hold the ball or once he lost it to try and get it back or to at the very least foul the lad. You can't not try and keep the lad, cause he can score goals which is a premium in our strikers but he's definitely infuriating when playing in a role the requires any kind of hold up play, or defensive responsibilities.
