They only have to travel a hour down the road for a home game every other week on average. How much income we generate gets pumped into the squad ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneeuq Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Lots of over reaction tonight. Didn't see the match today but previous matches didn't think we played that bad. Prob a bad day at the office. It was always going to be a tough season and a long way to go. Maybe the draw at arbroath wasn't that bad. There will be good days again, believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are always discussing novel ways to increase our crowds, but ultimately that stat has the biggest impact on our attendances. I’d be interested in seeing our home form since the plastic went down. I suspect it will make grim reading. I know there are other factors at play, but it once again played absolutely terribly again today. Rip it up and bring back the grass pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysouth Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Rip it up and bring back the grass pitch. Do you know how much that would cost? Not that I'm disagreeing with the sentiment of your post. Unfortunately I don't think we can afford to go back to grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's an overreaction when you don't have a shot on target at home to Alloa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I don't have the same problem with the pitch that lots of fans on here seem to. Leaving that aside though, I don't really get the idea that it's responsible for our crap home form. If the pitch plays so differently, playing on it often would surely have to be an advantage if anything. It's certainly how such things were seen during the finest respective spells in the histories of Luton and Oldham. It's likelier that our crap home form owes most to us being a bit crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel wickson Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 How's Mick Paton been getting on with you guys this season? He looked utterly finished or uninterested (maybe both) while he was with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry but if you had watched that today you would find it hard to be upbeat I’m afraid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he might have got his mojo back by returning to full-time training with yourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 You think 5 of our signings are worse than Paton. Really?I immediately regretted posting that as I knew I’d get called out!Paton is probably our second worst signing after Kidd. They are the clear front runners because we already knew they were going to be shit before they signed. I’ve concerns over a few others though.Hamilton - looks completely lost. Bringing him on is an acceptance we’ve run out of ideas and are going to punt it in his general direction.McCarthy - pointless signing, behind Kidd in the pecking order says it all.Pybus - not sure what his purpose is. He’s just there without doing much.Lyon - see above.Kilday - very worrying when Brownlie is the composed and calming influence in the partnership. Looks on the verge of doing something stupid every time the ball comes near him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just absolutely staggered that anyone would think 5 of our signings were worse than Paton Edit to add I think Pybus might just be decent. He's very inexperienced though and needs some midfield savvy alongside him. Sadly we absolutely lack that, Edited August 31, 2019 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
