Yeah McCann was definitely the better of the two. I reckon McLaughlin looked better playing alongside him tbqh. Did Roberts not start playing him at centre back in his second spell? Although, I can't quite remember if that was down to injuries or tactics. With Roberts it was hard to tell the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'm not sure how McDaid is making it into quite a few "teams of the decade", in all honesty I can count on one hand the really good games he had for us, as all too often he flattered to deceive.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was phenomenal against Killie as well. In fact I think a lot of people, myself included, were tipping him to be our star player that season but it just didn’t happen. Definitely a big game player but in the smaller games he just didn’t have that affect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, in all honesty if someone had told us a couple of years back that we'd be going to Tannadice and beating United 5-0 (going on 7+) you'd probably have been admitted to Ailsa. There's no doubt that McDaid at his best is a top player, however everything just has to fall right for him, he needs space to run into and he needs his attitude to be 100% and unfortunately those chips just don't drop that often............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Forrest hasn't been incredible for us (yet) but has had a bigger impact than mcdaid imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but he's much more consistent and much more of a team player, I'd also say his all round play and end product are far ahead of McDaid in as much as he scores goals himself and creates lots of space and opportunity for others. Even when Forrest isn't playing well he's generally a 6 or 7 out of 10 performer but on his game he's an 8 or 9 and this season that's been pretty frequent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 The thing that Forrest is missing is a 15-20 goal season. He’s always around the 10 goal mark but for him to go to play at a higher level he needs to show he’s a regular goal threat. This season looks as though he can get there if he stays fit. I think he’d be perfect to move into the Moffat role (when the great man retires) but I can’t see him sticking around long enough for that to be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHonestman1910 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Declin Mcdaid was one of our best players going up into the championship scoring 13 and assisting 13. Maybe putting him on the bench over the last 10 years would be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEHonestman1910 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Mental to think that Alan Forrest has been here for 7 seasons now. He might only have a one club career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more to do with our lack of decent wingers which is a shame as there is nothing I love more in football than a pacey winger tearing the fullback a new arsehole. That’s why I was always desperate for us to sign Bobby Barr and Willie Gibson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I was always desperate for us to sign Bobby Barr and Willie Gibson. I was about to say exactly that. Although the two examples you give are utter bawbags. I was thinking more along the lines of Stirling and/or Agnew (don't ever think he got a fair crack at it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Excellent save from Ross there, Kelly also looking better and better as the match goes on and the more I see of Danny the more I think we should be calling him in ASAP and offering him a 100% wage rise for an extra 2 years on his contract. Should Scotland qualify from this group then he'll be noticed by everyone around Europe, but even as we stand I'm sure he's already on the radar of many an English Championship club and even higher. Looking at how Rose is getting on at Coventry, personally I think Daniel is already above the level that Michael was when he left us, I also feel he's got even more potential both as a player and also as a leader which makes him invaluable in today's market. Maybe the bottle of Sauv I've just tanned is clouding my judgement but then again, maybe not.................. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
