Clubs budget in certain scenarios and one with a need to upgrade its team to compete against a backdrop of no idea when you will have supporters in stadia is not something that’s easy to make provision for.... That's one thing if they'd signed all their players a while back but they were signing guys right up to the window knowing full well there was no sign of fans coming back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards joined early august and Fuchs October the 4th who are apparently the bigger earners so no sympathy with expecting fans in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but I don't think Durnan got caught out by overrunning the ball into midfield on Saturday. That may have been the first match this season that he hasn't do so however... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed that Shepherd actually outmuscled both Hall and Durnan last Saturday, one in each half - just embarrassing. The supposed spine of any decent team... spineless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have a centre midfielder taking the ball off them like Mark Millar used to do. You very rarely get a defender that can actually play decent passes as well as defend, usually it's one of the other which is why we need to allow the two diddies to just do their defensive work and have a midfielder that drops deep to take the ball off them so we don't see them playing hoofball for 90 minutes. Mcracken for example couldn't play football but got by as someone else in the team would come take the easy pass off him.

Clyde I’m sure he lost the ball on the halfway line more than once, as above a midfielder should be getting the ball off of him. Let him stick to heading the ball away and not trying to run out of defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC 1876 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) The video of Kelly training today on our facebook page all but confirms Kelly will be our left back this season hopefully he'll give us some of the width we've been missing on that left hand side with Connolly out injured. I'm hoping to see something like this on Saturday. Morrison Mercer Durnan Dixon Kelly Morrison Miller Alston Deveney Francis Dowds Although I wouldn't mind us changing it up to a 4-2-3-1 as I think Francis could easily play on the wing he seems to get joy running the channels. Would free up Morrison as well to go roam the park looking for the ball.

Mercer Durnan Dixon Kelly Miller Alston Francis Morrison Deveney Dowds I think the first one will be the winner. whether they consider Kelly & Deveney ready to start is probably the issue. Hopefully that gives us a threat from the left meaning Morrison isn't marked out of the game as easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New arrivals are usually the first choice when selecting a player to promote something; think Morrison re snoods, Keena re training wear, Gow re season tickets, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't expect to see your centre back working on bombing down the left wing and whipping in a cross. Any more transfers in the works or is that us done for now?

Guest Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Don’t agree. The economy can’t afford to be shut down. The Government realises it, even the SG. We’re just going to have to live with the current death rates and build up hospital capacity. In fact, excess deaths for this time of year are minimal. Was in A &E myself just recently. Very quiet and very few patients.Forget A&E and try the ICU ward. The ICU ward in Larbert has more Covid cases in ICU today (and yesterday) than at any time this year.God knows why you are using A&E as a barometer of Covid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's us done, albeit the AGM comments about 2 new defenders pretty much said that anyway. If you include Lee Miller we have 23 players now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it was ICU then CAU, then CT and MRI scans. Quiet, in fact very quiet - 2 weeks ago so maybe it’s busied up since then. Remember, we’re now in the busy time of year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He who's name you do not mention is attention seeking and being intentionally provocative. NHS staff are bracing themselves for what awaits them in the next few months and I know that first hand. What annoys them and pisses them right off. Are pontificating individuals with their own agendas with their own uninformed panaceas trying to influence behavior. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe answers the points raised by DF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
