Walking Down The Halbeath Road

Just now, basher brash said:

It is obvious to me that up top the Pars are struggling but then again you had a lot of the ball but you didn’t really have a lot of goalward bound chances, we had no chances really until the sending off which changed the game for us . Don’t know much about the Pars since we joined the seaside league but it appears Nicky Clark hasn’t  really been replaced along with Aird and Morris by the same quality ?

Yes.

Re the clapping; I think they should have all fucked off down the tunnel but there are a worryingly large portion of our fanbase who would be near aneurysm with rage if the players didn't come over and clap.
This is not unique to our fanbase it must be said. The vast majority of the fanbase of clubs' as a whole share this attitude. Just look at social media posts that single out players who didn't give a wee shitey clap after a game one time.
Lee Robinson headed straight down the tunnel. Fastest he moved all game.

Robinson misses what a half days session a week and its a reason to punt him, if it's even true?  To be honest maybe he is going to be played further forward as our dead ball specialist. Crawford and Shields were brought in to develop the youth side of the club surely it would be a backwards step in their own plans not to at least try out the highly rated prospect that's sat on the bench every week.

Thomson, Beadling, Craigen, Higgy, Vincent and Keana or really the only players that haven’t let us down really.

 Longridge lately has been poor. Central defence is a joke. Midfield centrally is ok but we lack someone who can get balls forward quickly. On the left side of midfield we have four players. None of them have held that place down. L. Longridge probably best of a bad bunch but I’m not actually sure what he is and he’s injured. Muirhead looks either unfit or beyond help. Connolly is a pish version of Cardle. Hippo is getting played out of position and has done ok but again looks hopeless at times, makes daft decisions or has a terrible touch. Higgy on the right is now drifting all over the place which can be effective. If he plays well then so do we. Upfront we look awful. Fais tries really hard but drops deeper and deeper or chases lost causes then fluffs chances with soft shots. Ryan looks out for some time and then you have a kid who couldn’t get a game for Arbroath.

Im disappointed that Crawford has played quite safe and really has only tweaked it by moving Vincent further forward. Our squad is totally disjointed and lacking quality in four or five positions despite us signing supposedly better quality players.

We have replaced Aird, Clark, Morris and McManus with crap and if we are paying the same wages then that’s utterly bonkers.

I think it’s this that has cost us, no manager can fix it. Just stop the rot a little. Hopefully enough to save us going down.

We must sign a striker and a winger plus a competent centre half in the window. It’s really that bad imo.

Has anybody watched Gill? Not been particularly convinced he's better than Robinson tbh. 


In all seriousness, I’ve been far from impressed whenever I’ve seen him. Watched some reserve games and also seen him in the league cup earlier in the season. Looked well out of his depth.

That said, I’ve not been impressed with Robinson this season either. Changing a goalkeeper isn’t going to change our luck/results though. The defence in front of whoever is in goals is woeful, at best. Also, until we get a new striker at the other end, there’s a lot of pressure on any defensive players.

Robinson has declined massively. He now looks like a goalie going through the motions of trying to save some efforts, rather than a genuine attempt. Maybe not, in fact I'm probably completely wrong but he looks different.

Case example, Alloas equalizer. Across him, not so far out of reach but doesn't stick a hand out? Come on.

We were about to sign someone from you lot, but the change in manager meant that he stayed at EEP. Any ideas who it was?

Probably one of the youn lads, maybe Lewis McCann?

Where does he play? We're basically looking for players in every position, but it would be interesting to see where Duffy's targeting bodies.
