Loon From Outta Toon Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Massive second half for the Loons here, hopefully manage to actually beat a team with 10 men for a change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonytoons Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 A good couple of results but we are looking very threadbare at the back. Spark does look to be good a right back, definitely better than at LB, likes to carry the ball forward and looks difficult to dispossess even when caught hanging on to it which happened a few times against Albion. TOB moved back into centre back beside Rodger to cover for Dunlop's injury. Kennedy filling in for Yano at LB. If any of those are injured/suspended we'll struggle for a back four.

terracingtam Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Any word on Smudger's whereabouts yet? Still under his bed covers crying about not getting the games his undoubted talent merits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSilverFox Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 After the humping from Brechin and losing to Stranraer today things are very serious. I hate being negative about our club but Bollan must go and the board must take a long look at themselves. Dispensing with Dick may not have been wrong (though the way AD went about it was). If the rumour about a Cooper/Petrie management team agreeing to replace "the bunnet" is true then they made a shocking misjudgement by changing their minds. It's still in our hands to save or throw away but it looks like the latter far more likely. Depressing times so soon after last season's excitement. I'll continue to attend the home games as I am a supporter and season ticket holder, I've never stayed away, but the other night is 3 hours, have a gallon of petrol and £12 I feel was totally wasted.

dee_62 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 ...And yet the team probably need the support as much, if not more, than last season's run in. Keep backing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedframe Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Mr Bollan appears to be struggling to get to grips with the qualities needed to be Forfar manager. He could start by selecting players on merit. The players must also rise to the challenge. We keep on hearing from them how good they are looked after at Station Park - they need to perform for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree with your last point - but the clamour/pressure to remove Mr Campbell was, in part, due to him playing "undroppable" players, so by your measure, GB already has all the qualities needed to be a Forfar Manager! Out of interest, how long do you give a player a chance to prove himself? Do you drop him after one iffy game, two games? Would the added pressure of thinking you are going to be dropped after a couple of dodgy passes or missed tackles lead to improved performances on the pitch? I'm guessing that's the balance that managers the length of the league have to struggle with on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loondave1 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Team needs support, if we go down AD needs to step asideMassive progress off the park since his arrival don't think knee jerk response and hunt for a sugar daddy is realistic to be honest.

Synthetic Bridie Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Apart from this season the progress on the park has been great too. If we can hold on to our place in league one & give Bollan a chance to build his own team I am sure the garden will be rosey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Many travelling through for this? I'm going with my mates, about 40 of us leaving from the West End. Never been to Ochilview so another to tick off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenoseloon Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Gary Bollan has now had 15 games in charge. Drawn 4, lost 8 and won 3 (2 of these were against 10 men). Irrespective of whether getting rid of the Campbells was the correct decision or not, I am far from convinced that Gary was the right choice for this club. In particular his unwillingness to change things or have a plan B is a massive concern. Quite why in the game against Cowdenbeath you would wait until the 90th minute to bring on a striker when it was a game we really needed to win is beyond me.
