He’s conceded 2 goals in his last 5 games, one of which was a penalty and the other an excellent header there was no saving. The defence have stopped him being overworked but I don’t recall any glaring errors other than the dropped catch today. His outstanding save at Arbroath in the first half was key to our victory. Aye in no way am I suggesting he's done but today was a less than standard MacDonald performance. A dropped catch, a mad flap at a corner and a few poor kicks from open play. Don't doubt he'll be back to normal next week. Wouldn't surprise me if he's carrying a wee knock or two as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batross07 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I have a feeling this is Jamie’s last year as our starter in the Championship. I don’t know if he’ll retire, seek a job at the League One or Two level or look into coaching, does anyone know if he craves another job in football? The last few games he’s looked a little bit vulnerable compared to last year where he seemed indomitable. He also has a wean, does he not?This can't be for real..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 MacDonald is class. Always sweat a bit when he goes down and looks injured because he’d be a real loss from our side 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he has been a little less confident in his handling than we’ve come to expect. I’m not saying he’s fallen off a cliff, and I still rate him as excellent, but… 1 hour ago, spot on said: Absolute ridiculous post !

Now we’re talking. I noticed the same thing a couple of times this year, and note that his contract is up after this year and he is getting on at 36, 37 at seasons end. Now, keepers can certainly play longer than pretty much any position, but time and a career of hits and injuries take their toll. Jamie has still shown some remarkable saves this year, but we’ve also seen a few situations that we didn’t see last year, so I’m just asking a question. He certainly is reported to be carrying a mild shoulder issue. 56 minutes ago, batross07 said: 2 hours ago, TxRover said: I have a feeling this is Jamie’s last year as our starter in the Championship.

That being said, I’d just ask those saying I’m stupid or crazy, keep an eye on Jamie and see if he looks as right as rain still, I’m just not so sure. Oh, and no one knows his post playing career desires or plans? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR #1 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Best keeper in the league by far and that will still be the case come next season. Absolutely mental to criticise him because he dropped a couple of crosses especially given our current defensive record. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 These last few games McDonald has taken a fair amount of knocks and another one today it's no surprise hes a bit shakey , hes also got a good few years in front of him yet, hopefully with us 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Murray said just last week that he thought MacDonald was the best keeper in the league. If MacDonald's keen to continue with us I'm pretty certain we'll offer him a deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Watch the highlights. First piece of action there’s Jamie saving perfectly to keep it 0-0. Also was right behind his spectacular save up at Arbroath to keep it 1-0 and win us the points. Terrific keeper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) If I’m honest, the transformation in Liam Dick at centre back is amazing. The hard work for Murray now is to convince Crewe and Aberdeen to let us keep O’Riordon and Ngwenya for the rest of the season. Aidan Connolly is also a must to re-sign. For me Millen is vastly improved and long May that continue. I’ve heard people complain that we should have scored more. Partick were finished and fading badly. We did the job that needed done and 3 points was the target. Edited October 30, 2022 by baillieinleeds 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Sure Ngwenya is here until May is that not the case? Unless Crewe are completely fucked it would do O'Riordan more good to continue playing every week for us where he knows the players and has settled really well. Would hope Crewe feel the same as they have a long history of developing talent there. Agree Dick has really stepped up this year last season he was an at best average left back that got a nosebleed at the half way line. This season when at left back he's pushed forward and offered a lot more, but he's really found his feet playing centrally. As the season moves on and teams work each other out there is scope for a 3 at the back if needed but I'd still be concerned with Millen as a wing back despite his dramatic improvement over the last month. Considering the state of the defence in August a situation that was compounded by Berra walking away the manager has worked an absolute miracle to get us so water tight. Mr Lang might be getting splinters in his arse for a while yet. Edited October 30, 2022 by pub car king Can't spell splinters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Ngwenya definitely only signed to January. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
