It would literally take Dipo, Ashford and Bryden to be injured for Moffat to be playing imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 players away at the under 18 game , have not seen us before saying that one of the youngsters is not available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumper Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The north terrace and the pub getting prioritised above the first team is one thing. The 18s getting prioritised is another. Is Bullen aware that the season has actually started and that they're handing out points now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me if Viviani or Guthrie would have got on the pitch tonight , surely playing in league game for your age group is more important than sitting on a bench when a vastly experienced pro could take your place on the bench 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hopefully we'll score 6 or 7 tonight and then we'll not need to worry about signing any strikers or attacking Midfielders, if however we draw another blank and end up taking zero points, then I think the pressure will only intensify to get someone in pretty quick and rightly so !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know they may need to come on and first team should come first imo. That said I thought you meant we’d be short on the bench tonight rather than just a swap in for Moff. I do think it’s worth having his experience on the bench while the squad is a little short of our final numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 I’d probably play Moffat as well tbh. I’m not sure how folk can say he’s “done” when he’s not had a bad game for fucking years. He contributes more in certain games but he rarely gives the ball away and never gives centre halves an easy game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It encapsulates the shambles of our forward options, but I would still be starting Moffat up front with Dipo before Ashford or Bryden. I would most likely just play O’Connor at ten though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By far our most experienced and intelligent footballer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrExile Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 It would be useful to see Moffatt play and see what he can do. If the legs haven’t gone too much he will be of use right now. Until a new striker signs there is a place going up front and I would be trying the lot of them until someone nails it down 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a huge amount of time for Moffat, but he's scored twenty league goals in the 5+ years since he returned from Dunfermline. And that's sharply weighted towards the beginning. He got one goal last season. If he's being looked at as a solution on matchday fucking two then Hopkin's summer signings make him look like Alex Ferguson by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few games I saw this happen last season and it was painful to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 To go into your first two league games playing someone who has just turned 18 is so fucking poor. It isn’t anything like good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
