SotesBornalichtie Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Really sorry that Steven Doris is leaving the club. Honestly feel that if he had been given more match time he would have improved and worked hard at getting his weight down and getting fitter. As already said, a club legend. A player who never hid during a game, always gave 100% for the team and scored some memorable goals. He leaves with best wishes from me, and I'm sure from all Lichtie supporters. He never looked quite right wearing another club's colours, but I hope that he will fit in and score regularly for his new team. All the best Stevie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Absolutely the right time for Doris to be moving on, he’s had more than enough time to get himself fit, don’t buy the whole not getting enough game time. He needed to go away in the summer and change his diet and do so much extra work outside of the club to be in the condition to play in the championship and it looks like he couldn’t do this. That said, he’s one of my top 3 favourite players of all time. A true Legend and thank him for all the good moments he gave us. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytoons Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Is the argument that Forfar fans deserve all they get because Forfar players celebrated winning the league at Gayfield? Yet the point scoring is the fact that Arbroath have poached a lot of these aforementioned players?Pretty much in a nutshell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon From Outta Toon Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hilson looks like he has the sharpness we’re missing in front of goal.If you’re looking for someone that’s gonna bury one vs one chances then he’s not your man.He’s got bags of energy & gives his all but canna finish to save himself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 canna finish to save himself! Going by the fact he's scored 7 so far this season and got 14 last season I'm going to say that this may be a slight exaggeration 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong he will be a huge miss, but he’s best playing with another striker. He’s work rate is unbelievable and the amount of times he recycles the ball is fantastic....but one on ones he always takes that extra touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Will believe Hilson when I see it, still think it’s madness for Forfar to sell him or swap him whatever the deal is at this stage of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fafc1885 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hilson will score a lot when there’s defenders in front of him, that’s a given. Granted his one on ones are his downfall but he has scored a number of them. Our best player by a country mile and will be a bigger miss than McCallum would be. Without his ball retention and work rate, we would be a lot worse off already. There’s a reason why Dick Campbell signed him so often. I’ll be gutted to see him leave us, but he has earned another chance at Championship football after his last time in the league saw him injured constantly. Fully anticipating some of our fans to bizarrely give him abuse for leaving, the same fans that boo other ex Forfar players for ‘chasing money’ when they left to be closer to home or to play for a better manager. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no saying that he's Brazilian Ronaldo at one on ones just that the 'canna finish to save himself' is clearly an exaggeration. When he's been fit and at Forfar he's had 4/5 seasons where he's went into double figures. It's an improvement on what we have anyway and a different kind of forward player. Great age too. Hopefully he can kick on here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
