++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Would love us to make play offs and keep you down again. That's not going to happen. This late in the season and on the run Airdrie's on at the moment not a lots going to change, I reckon they're looking at 4-6 more points from this season. Even if they did sneak 4th, they'd be well beaten by the 9th team in the championship, as will Stranraer (assuming they hang on to 4th). Best to concentrate on not going down, playing out the rest of the season, and start with the big plans next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on the basis of see what he's got. He is allegedly a centre back. He was brought as potential cover for dizzy and dosey. King said he may be the kind of player we need for next season. If he is give him 4 games there now. Watch the Stranraer highlights and tell me that Crighton and Lithgow are irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulloch Gorum Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Oh - I agree. Worth a shot, and can't be worse than what's there now. Just wondered if there was someone by that name who'd been doing well in the U20s or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 If there is anybody in the 20s who has even a semblance of passing ability then they should be straight in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
touchedbymadness Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If there is anybody in the 20s who has even a semblance of passing ability then they should be straight in the team. Robbie Leighton really looked the part in the edmonton game. He actually looked a far better centre mid prospect than Liam Watt, really good passer and playmaker but he looked too young to throw straight in. If it was up to me I'd look to give him a 20min cameo soon and then decide if he's worth giving more time without ruining him too soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to ruin the boy and this is exactly the sort of environment that would. Would be good to see him come on though. Can't be any worse than Messrs Brown, Thompson, Mackin etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fans have been unfairly demonised lately, this season has been a shit show of the worst kind but this bullshit about hounding kids needs buried now. I fear that some old school management at times cynically throw young players under a bus to take heat off their own shortcomings. The new regime have a chance to rectify that and I'm sure Mr King and co. will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw talent is exactly that, raw. There will be poor performances from inexperienced guys but hopefully they'll be supported through the odd bad game rather than lambasted at the first chance.

touchedbymadness Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 At least Reece has landed at Clyde, hopefully he gets a chance. I had no idea of a personal relationship, I was taken by the boy Leighton though, he did want get on the ball and play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda8 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I seem to remember not so long ago Man Utd had a ginger headed boy who couldnt header or tackle and was one paced but could spray passes for fun, he didn't turnout too badly. Glackin was a player, maybe not a Scholes but a decent prospect who if he lost a leg could still do a better job than Fariah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
