Russ Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The only reason Edjenguele looked decent was because he played like Van Dijk in comparison to the CB pairings that would have struggled in the Juniors who we'd been playing for the first half of that fucking grim season.Yet Hall, McKay and Lemon are still the worst of the lot. Pretty incredible just how spectacularly shite our recruitment has been over the years. It’s almost a talent to be able to keep signing players even worse than has gone before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder if McKay beside someone who will talk and keep him concentrating will improve? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit I would be hard pressed to decide between Holt/Sheerins current ensemble or Hartleys duds, the only thing that gives Hartleys duds any leeway was the fact we were a league above than present shite but a better league shite 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that about Hall. Mckay's been an absolute donkey wherever he's been. He's a lost cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is an appeal case you can take to the associated body who can over rule this. The case usually has to prove the said player won't be involved in match day squads. 1 hour ago, ShaggerG said: Wiki say he's got 10 in 23, BBC say he's got 5 in 17. 5/19 this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I just wonder if McKay beside someone who will talk and keep him concentrating will improve? Nah he’s every bit as bad as Hall potentially even worse. At 28 and played over 200 games he’s never going to improve. It’s his lack of intelligence more than anything else that infuriates me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 You just hope if Watson is partnered with either of them he isn't dragged down to their level quickly. Watson solid enough as he is isn't blessed with pace to cover their f**k ups. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FFC1965 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just for a bit of fun given the novelty of Kabia's double on Saturday, I went trawling on bettermeddle to see how many Bairns players I could find who got 2 (or more) goals on their League debut. So far I've found four - a couple are more recent than Id imagined. There might easily be others I've missed B Hall (!) https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=2020&id=322&type=1 but that was v Forfar so didnt count L Longridge (2nd spell) https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=2018&id=319&type=1 when we papped DUFC 6-1 M Higdon https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=2008&id=301&type=1 opening day thrashing of Gretna at Fir Park "Half Chance" Charlie Lytwyn went one better with a league debut hatrick v Ayr Utd in 1985 https://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=1986&id=202&type=1 Once you go pre transfer window of course a player could have made their debut any old time, maybe some other older Bairns will remember debut doubles or hatricks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly Hall McKay & Miller seemed to morph into a critical mass that the introduction of only ATS wasn’t enough to break, but the introduction of Watson should hopefully limit the damage that McKay and Miller can inflict…….but McKay especially needs to be kept on a short leash. Watson and Dixon should at least give the front line a fighting chance of out scoring the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
