CM. Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Fantastic save from the Linton effort from the well worked free kick. Enjoyed watching that too. Another bonus in our midfield is that they all look comfortable with both feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Good goals. Easton seems to be a baller. This has maybe been asked before... but why were we in blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume as the new home kit hasn't been delivered that we're wearing the new away one due to sponsorship. No point advertising last year's company with the old home kit when someone else is paying money this year. I think the blue kit is okay actually even if it doesn't come close to that black effort we had last season. One of the advantages of choosing a quality kit manufacturer I suppose.

Karpaty Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 We still have McGovern, Smith and Scott Ferguson to come back from injuRT. That's three key players to boost what we had today. Mon the bully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Quite impressed by how we played today - clearly a lot more to come, and question marks defensively, but the early signs are good. If we can get in the habit of moving the ball a wee touch quicker and utilising the full backs (particularly Lowdon) a bit more going forward then we could really carve some teams wide open. All of the new recruits look like fantastic acquisitions, Oliver perhaps the only exception (based on what I've seen of him thus far). Two absolutely stunning goals today, which I don't think I'll tire of watching for some time. MacDonald's flick for the second was sublime and I don't think I have enough superlatives at my disposal to describe the first. Dylan Easton's an absolute joy to watch; his final ball may be a bit inconsistent and he may be a touch greedy at times, but he's capable of doing things that very few, if any, other players at this level can. He's a bit of a fan favourite already and it's easy to see why. Keep him fit and use him properly and I think we'll have a great chance of success this season. I didn't see Barry's words in the programme, but if he signs two more players and they're even of a similar calibre to, say David Marsh, then we'll have some frightening options. There's already some great competition for places with Fergie and JP set to return fairly soon. Exciting times, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 The quicker Smith is back from injury and replaces Oliver the better. Think JP will have a struggle for his starting place but good to have 2 good players competing for a start with him and McLaughlin who has grown on me in recent months.

shawfield shed boy Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Good performance from full team yesterday but felt we never really got going until they equalised but overall deserved our 3points .....Defence does worry me just now and hopefully with Smith back things will settle down. Good selection headache in midfield for BF and would still like to see another forward brought in to keep gormley and Peaso watching out for someone stealin their place..Finally Big [emoji106]to Gibson. Defo.improving just needs to be more vocal to defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like another centre half in know big Smith coming back for me oliver looks out his depth at this level His passing isn't bad and would be ok as a squad player but not a central defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was never that keen on McLaughlin but I have to confess that I've been impressed this season so far.Similarly for Gibson.Still have doubts about Gormley and Oliver. Overall I'm very optimistic for the coming season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'm sorry still don't see the significant improvement in Gibson, decent shot stopper and yes did have a fantastic block in the first half, but does not command his box at all, yes I am being greedy looking for more quality in goal but really hope it does not affect our season against a better side than Montrose who will get more crosses or set pieces against us.

He isn't the best but really hasn't done much wrong he won't come off his line but a lot of goalkeepers don't come off their line Yes would love to see quality of Martin in goal , if we do sign a player would much rather have a centre half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he does get to the ball, his touch is woeful with the ball ending up 5 yards from his feet. He rarely holds up the ball. Play usually breaks down when it goes to him.As for his scoring prowess, other than a fantastic 3 game run last season it was pitiful.I do accept that he puts in a shift though.

bullyweehutch Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Slane returning ...... ???? Never understood the fascination with Slane. Had one good game and was rather average and poor the rest of his time with us (both spells) not someone I'd bring back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
