CALDERON Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Berra absolutely cruised through 90% of the games he played. If he had remained fit, we would have made top 4. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC1989 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I can’t think of many, if any, occasions where Berra got caught out of position and then got rinsed for pace last season. He’s too often in the right place and is deceptively quick, too. Agreed. Some people i think look at his age and write him off despite his performances and ability. Was also good to hear he performed among the best in the pre-season beep test. He definitely has plenty still left in the tank IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrush1471 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 To be fair, the last home game against Ayr Berra looked every bit his age 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Simply not true. He was outstanding against Nouble, who tore everyone else to shreds for pace and strength You ever see Davie Weir play for Scotland? The 1-0 win against France at Hampden I was a 13 year old and said there’s no way he could play up against Henry. You quickly learn it’s all upstairs Philpy come on get with it The old thing about the 1st ten yards are in your head. That. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say that about any center half. By that same token If someone is a few yards quicker than VVD then he would be fucked too Edited June 16, 2022 by spot on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn played him every match until he got suspended and then injured despite having opportunities to rest him. I wouldn't be playing in every league cup group match and I definitely wouldn't be playing him in the Challenge Cup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, at no point in that sentence does he compare Berra to Van Dijk but keep fishing and you'll maybe catch one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 The thing with pace is, it also needs utilised by the attacker. I remember a poster referring to Mark Stewart while he played for Falkirk as playing like a speedboat with a driver, I couldn't agree more. It's all well and good having a good burst, but if you're not making good runs, staying onside etc then it's not much good is it? Likewise you also need the quality of service to then supply said runs. Berra might not be the quickest off the mark but he's got more than enough up top to compensate for that . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray did say a defender hopefully in Monday/Tuesday then another end of the week or start of next week, so it’s possible. I suspect that signing will be Patterson or a mystery central defender.

Ro Sham Bo Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 He says in the Fife Today article that there were 3 trialists up for the start of training. One would presumably have been Millen, with another likely to be Paterson, but that does still leave a potential left field signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 It certainly does sound like Murray was head-hunting Millen from the very beginning. Millen mentioned in his interview that it took a couple of weeks to get over the line, and there was a clip of the Scunthorpe gaffer talking about the move kicking off with Murray ringing to ask about Millen's availability. Doesn't seem like the kind of player you'd have quite that much desire for, but if Murray's that confident then hopefully that's a positive sign. On that basis I'd agree that Murray possibly wouldn't refer to him as a "trialist", and that's the interpretation I'm going with because it means there might be two mystery men to speculate about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Burke might just be the epitome of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's something to speculate about I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
