Trouble is, they have the same skill set (near enough), and the same flaws. The three of them on the park at the same time is condemning the front line to no service, and the defence to no protection at all.

Believe The Hype Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 1 hour ago, Just a bairn said: Dowds was nothing like "stinking" yesterday - absolutely wild opinion. Guy does bags of work off the ball, harrasses defenders constantly, excellent in the air. His biggest flaw is his incredibly ability to pick up idiotic yellow cards by arguing with referees. No idea if dowds was stinking or not because he was completely anonymous. Offered absolutely zero. Same as telfer and nesbitt. All three were a hindrence yet again in important positions we need to be strong in. If the three of them start against QP and we lose then the season is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot just throw this amount of new players in and beat a decent set up team. Our only hope is clinging in there, with this qtr effectively being our preseason to gel, and hopefully become a team that can scrap through a playoff, but it’s a big ask imo. There needs to be a reality check of what’s going on just now. Absolutely this. The characters on here already bitching about the management team and the failure of a team of strangers to win a difficult away game yesterday are clueless gobshites who have in all probability never set foot in a football dressing room.

Agree his service was poor but I just don’t rate him at all. Stick me up front this Saturday and not only will I do a power of running for 90 minutes, I’ll also do it for free. Looked like carrying a sizeable arse, maybe you were looking in the mirror? . Get down to the ground and show Rennie and co your power of running or GTF! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps huffing and puffing for 90 minutes constitutes a professional footballer around Methil but it sure as shit doesn’t gain you pass marks at this Club.

Top of Meeks Road Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Mentions of players being promised the possibility of joining us on this amazing journey back to Premier League football is utter nonsense. We are struggling to get out of the third tier so we need to ditch this 'we're too big to be at this level' crap! Leagues are the fairest competitions - you finish where you deserve to be. Lets just concentrate on signing players to get us to the championship then we sit down and re-evaluate. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are players out there that can deliver the goods and get you up the leagues Cove Rangers proved it. So get talking now to 6 - 7 players* out of contract at the end of the season and sell them a 2-3 year contract as the spine of a team with the prize of premier league football. Rest made up of players given a chance to come good. *Goalkeeper + 2 center backs + 2 midfielders + 2 forwards with stability comes success. 2 hours ago, Top of Meeks Road said: Mentions of players being promised the possibility of joining us on this amazing journey back to Premier League football is utter nonsense.

This is straight out of the Gary Holt playbook, dishing out long term deals to crap footballers such as Brad McKay, Seb Ross, Jaime Wilson etc. Nope, going forward, and whether the management team is Rennie and Miller or A N Other, the longest deal any player should get is 18 months and every deal we give out henceforth should be loaded with caveats such as goals scored, clean sheets kept, promotion achieved, early termination of contracts permitted and so forth. Paul Watson is a much better defender than McKay and he was happy to accept an 18 month deal so it is doable. As @Top of Meeks Roadsays, It has to be horses for courses and the players that we sign to get us out of League 1, whenever that might be as doesn't look likely this season, won't be the same players who will get us into the Premiership, whenever that might be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn’t see the game now did you? You’re correct - I was thinking about about the Dumbarton game. The card on Saturday was even more absurd. Thinking back he might have blootered the ball away against Dumbarton? Either way - Dowds is good but petulant AF.

The reality is we’ve got 14 games to make fourth spot. For me this squad won’t make it, unless Rennie has an ace or two that can be brought in NOW not half way, or at the end of February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's literally more of a traditional football man than plucky Dick Campbell. If you can string a sentence together which is longer than 5 words and don't laugh at 145 decibels at your own jokes then you're a wee wimp who can't inspire proper men IMO -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 11 hours ago, Russ said: Imagine looking at him and thinking aye he’s well worth spending money on him and giving him a 2 year deal. Quite incredible really. He’s the epitome of a nothing midfielder. No attributes going for him at all and in a few years he’ll be cutting about at Fortmartine, Huntly or some other team up there. No doubt stinking the place out there as well. It's the fact that Sheerin basically coached him and Ruth for a good while previously and yet still thinks they're players that makes it even more ludicrous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think where as that can be seen as an excuse for the sloppy defending it's the complete lack of creative threat that was the main worry considering only one of the front 7 was flung in at the deep end on Saturday and he did fine and was certainly a great improvement on Gary bloomin miller.

That said he’s not someone I’d be looking to punt. For me he has been played too deep at times this season which limits his impact. I’d like to see him in the No 10 role behind the strikers. I was always of this mindset that playing him further forward was the key to get the best out of him. Sadly he had the heart of a field mouse and os offering little wherever he plays now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuffie, Telfer, Nesbitt and Williamson all players I’d happily take at Gayfield. Not going to get much better for L1. I don’t know or have not seen enough of Miller but from outside looking in and after seeing Dowds at us and the potential that’s in him it seems to be that all Falkirk players and managers are under a whole lot of pressure and with all the changes etc they can never really get any rhythm or consistency going. The guy Rennie says all the right stuff but I can’t see him having much success. Bores the tits right off me so not sure how players will take to him.
