I was speaking to a mate at work today he is a Celtic fan but i don't hold that against him,he watched the game on monday and he was shocked when i told him Henderson was a CH moved into midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The only issue with Oliver was the lack of goals during his initial run as the no.9. That was the only criticism you could have around his game, but recently the goals have been coming and he deserves to be that starting striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said when he signed he wasnt an out and out goalscorer though you cant hold that against him but the goals he has scored have been crucial. On another note how good is it when we score or win seeing Henderson celebrate, you can see how much it means to him Kelty one was epic with his celebrations 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked earlier in the week how many he had scored and was surprised it was 9. Not a bad tally for a striker more used to set up others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Oliver clearly took on board the perfectly valid and constructive criticism I screamed at him from the KM7 and has become a better player as a result. A wise young man. It takes a lot for a professional athlete to realise the overweight, bald gentleman spewing obscenities in the stand who hasn't kicked a ball in thirty years knows more than him. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamieson hasn’t played a lot of games. Gary Oliver is much more experienced. Most of the early summer signings had that precise profile and we are seeing the benefit now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I saw him rushing to the fans he would do the fist-pumping thing and turn away, and you would think that was him finished. Then ten seconds later he would grab another teammate and was rushing up to the support again. I think it's safe to say he was well motivated for the game. 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Oliver has been better of late but Burrell is a better finisher. Goals per minute stats are way better and unless we play another striker along with Oliver he'll continue to be judged on that. Up front v Alloa we had no wingers and Burrell had basically no service. McGlynns signings have been good though Sean Mackie the worst for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ecosse83 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Never thought I’d be saying this 4 or 5 weeks ago but the starting slot up front is now Oliver’s to lose. We have goals all over now and Oliver makes that happen. Everything the club does seems to be a positive now, it’s amazing what a bit of momentum does to a club/team! I love Mcglynn!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have (in no particular order) McCann, McGinn, Henderson, Donaldson, Burrell, Morrison, Nesbitt, Kennedy and probably even Oliver ahead of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being up there and linking play well but not scoring or even really getting on the end of any chances (as was the case when he first came in as the lone striker) is not good enough. The difference over the last few weeks, admittedly probably because he was given the time by McGlynn, is that he has started to find these chances and continues to link play well. He has become that 'complete' striker that we need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
