Mr McPake, after the two managers we had last season, has been a very welcome improvement. Glad to hear he’s doing well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 The only real gripe I have about yesterday is that Grayson was once again just a passenger. One good game out of 5, he needs dropped imo, brings absolutely nothing. Maybe it's me and he has become my target this season and will never be good enough. Probably due to @Ludo*1 referencing Martin 'Fuckin' Woods every time he is spoken about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Spark Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Didn't really get the love for Grayson from the Arbroath game. Thought a lot of his passes were of the sideways variety. Couldn't believe after five substitutions he was still on the park. Might just be settling in, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Aye after the first game he’s not done what he appeared to be good at initially; maybe just a bit off the boil, would bring him on as a sub the next few games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Derry Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Can people please stop mentioning Martin Woods, I've only just got my blood pressure back to normal from watching him. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieDee Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Got to agree re Grayson, not nearly enough impact in yet another game. Can't see, and I'd prefer if, Byrne doesn't return, too negative for me. With the set-up GB is going for we will will still be better with a holding midfielder with McMullen, Mulligan, Cameron and McCowan in front. I've thought Williamson could do this but maybe is a bit lightweight - could grow into the role though? McGowan, Anderson or even French? I've thought some of French's performances in defence have been a bit over-rated and the relative performance of Ashcroft backs this up, that said he's not a bad player and maybe this role could work for us, physical presence, can break forward at a decent pace, maybe not the close control in tight areas that ideally he should have but worth a go? With Rudden off injured yesterday, and not looking good for a quick return, anyone have any idea about the strikers expected return dates given we now only have Robinson available. OK'ish as long as he doesn't get injured but don't think him playing 90 mins every game will help him or team if this is going to be weeks on end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayson made a good impression on his debut because he was winning tackles and his 1st thought on the ball was to play forward. Hasn’t done it since though and I think he’s left this ‘wand’ of his down south. Coach Byrne into playing forward would be to my liking. Rudden apparently said he’ll be fine after the game. Oh and on another issue Owen Coyle’s post match comments are fucking hilarious 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryne is a decent character and I'd doubt he'll spit the dummy out but i'd expect him to move on, personally i'd hope to us. It was stated one Scottish club rejected our enquiry for a player and another accepted an offer but the player rejected it, it wouldn't surprise me if bryne is player b and may come to use some point in the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure it was worded he could piss off. The manager told him he wouldn’t get much game time therefore was free to find another club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Gary Bowyer on Zak Rudden's knee injury: "We are just waiting for [the swelling on his knee] to settle down. We will know more as the week goes on. It was the manner in how he went down and how he was - with getting stretchered off there is that cause for concern. We are just waiting on further diagnosis because he lost a bit of feeling in his leg. It was a challenge from behind, it's not an ideal situation for us. Obviously, the game is a day earlier this week but that's what happens and we just have to get on with it." Bowyer on status of Sheridan and Jakubiak: "Cillian and Alex are on the road to recovery. Cillian was a very long-term one with his Achilles operation. Coming back from being out a long time you do pick up niggles which has what's happened to him along the way. We haven't been stupid and rushed him. It's a case of building him up with weeks of conditioning before he goes back in. It's the same with Alex, his recovery has taken a bit longer than we hoped for initially." Bowyer on potentially bringing in a new striker: "The pool we can select from has become smaller. The majority of people we have asked have tight squads, so there are not many clubs that are looking to loan players out. It is something we are still looking at."
