We love that kid, and I guess we just expected better.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Just out of interest was the minutes silence an order from the spfl or did Montrose just decide to do it themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOFOREVER Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 A bit late in commenting on the game but having seen all 3 games against Dumbarton this season they clearly have a problem up top as they seldom looked like scoring in all 3 games. We at Mo know the feeling. It's no consolation to them but this is a problem getting worse throughout football in Scotland and in English lower divisions as well i.e. a dearth of good strikers. Most in England now seem to be from abroad. A problem of our own making I suspect with many teams playing with one up front - hence not many strikers around. In days gone by in Scotland we had Jimmy Johnstone on one wing, Willie Henderson on the other wing, Alan Gilzean or Joe Jordan in the middle with lads like Kenny Dalgleish and others in the inside forward positions. What do we have now?? Usually a single forward trying to out-do a back line of four plus a goalkeeper and without his other 9 outfield colleagues backing him up. Useless.

1320Lichtie Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 So Montrose and Dumbarton being poor going forward is a football UK wide problem in general? It's not just that Montrose and Dumbarton have been shite going forward? [emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we looking to be similarly bank-rolled by a generous Thai Billionaire, whose success was built on questionable business practices? Of course, the Smokies have Bunnet Inc. to do that.

It is a UK wide problem in my opinion but of course there are exceptions and I'm not saying all teams don't have a striker problem. But, Montrose and Dumbarton are the teams I watched on Saturday and are the teams featured in this thread. Surely you are not suggesting Montrose and Dumbarton are the only ones shite going forward.

Roll on Saturday when the 'real' derby takes place - again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
