The Derry Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 What's the point in bringing in a defender from down south to sit behind Ashcroft and Fontaine in the pecking order? If I was him I'd be away home tonight without as much as a goodbye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s Anderson and McMullen coming into the team and prepared to go forward. McMullen has defo improved us. I’m really beginning to hate Paul Backpass McGowan. Think he’s been here too long. Really hope he drops out when Charlie recovers. He gets the ball in space, maybe there’s nothing on in front of him but he constantly looks to pass it back to Fontaine and Ashcroft. Actually think Fontaine is half decent going forward. Anyway we learnt nothing today as we already knew Hamilton and McDaid are pish. Agree re; McGowan. Really slows the game down too much when we are trying to push forward. It looks like he needs a 'pass to feet' on before he will play it forward, instead he should be attempting to drop the ball in behind the defence for strikers to run on to. Frustrating to watch at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it’s too easy to rely on a player too much especially when you’ve got someone like Adam in your team at this level. Having a couple of games with Adam out might work in your favour to try other things. At the moment every team will line up against you to nullify Adam’s threat. There’s no doubt he’ll start every game when fit but perhaps these games have allowed your coaches to see other options in games where a team manages to take Adam out the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: I’ve loved that he has given all he has to the club but it’s simply not enough. Too much sentimentality at our club!

Frustrating to watch at times. This is not just McGowan. It hardly ever happens from any of our outfield players. I put that down to the manager. Remember McGowan doing a lovely flick on (v Ayr?) for Hemmings to run onto but, yes, very seldom used tactic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 And yet your manager decided to keep him ?Look he’s fucking shit. I’d personally drive him through to Weegie land, put him up in a flat on the Great Weegie Road and throw in a couple wraps of smack to keep him going if it meant I’d didn’t have to see him wearing dark blue again. We’ve a useless cunto of a manager, f**k knows why we’ve kept him - although it’s kind off amusing that it has you popping up with a tear stained rant every 20 minutes. You’ve dodged a bullet, get over it ffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Wait a minute I was vehemently against McPake getting a coaching role, never mind the managers job. If you ask nicely I’ll let you in to THAT club. Also, delighted with his goals but I hadn’t realised what little else Cum Dog contributes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
