David Fernández Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Totally deserved award, been brilliant this season and easily one of our most important and valuable players. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Our performances in February have probably been as bad as we've been since the start of the reason. It's a measure of our improvement that apart from 45 minutes against Cove we've not really played that well this month but still got 8 points from 12 and gone unbeaten with the manager getting MOTM.

Yeah I’d agree with that barring the Montrose game. Can’t complain though take wins and points any way they come. On a side note with Murray and the players getting publicity for doing well, what’s the score with contracts? Is Murray and the full squad’s contract up in the summer? If so, I’d like to think we are taking action whilst the feel good factor is around the place, especially for the likes of Fordyce, McCabe, Easton, Frizzell, Gal and Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballboy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I was thinking the exact same. We have a few players who are capable of playing at championship level. The most important signing for next season could be the manager. It may be that after a few seasons here he may fancy a new challenge. Personally I think it's vital that we extend his contract as soon as. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club never really stated Murrays contract length when he signed on again so i'm assuming it was just for the year. As for players it's only Salim and Cal Smith that are on 2 year deals, the rest are out of contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his workrate and enthusiasm is worth so much to that team, he might not score a barrowload but he's certainly involved somewhere in there. Hes got pace and strength , the only thing he's missing is that wee trick to beat the final man. That said he showed at cove that he's is developing that aspect of his game , that wee fake shot took out two cove defenders. Hes still young and growing as a player. I'd have him playing off Gabby or Afolabi on Saturday. But I reckon it will be Gal and Smith starting.

Fwiw I think it might be Smith and afolabi again but I'd rather see gal and Smith just based on my own POV. McGill to come off the bench and get another few minutes under his belt, keep him fresh for this run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I’m sure AMB previously stated that the club would have to pay more to the parent club of a loan player if they don’t start every game. Hence I’m sure that Afolabi will start. I think him and Gal are a bit similar so I’d prefer Smith to be up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond1924 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I appreciate that Gallagher gets us goals at the most *crucial* of times but… Surely those with a sensible football brain can see the inconsistencies and lack of ability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, last week was typical Gal, missing 2_big chances second half, that's why we were crying out for a new striker, Afolabi was signed and done well enough, him and Smith are hopefully given a chance up top, McGill IMOis a good impact player second half..... I expect another tight game at Alloa, 27 points to play for , plenty points will be dropped by all teams, we need to be turning draws into wins. Teams are playing differently against us now, Easton being man marked every game, and a high press, that's probably one of the reasons for the draws, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny_m Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It is the case of taking one game at a time but we need to hang on in there before we play Cove at the end of the month as there fixtures look more favourable than ours. I'll be delighted if the gap is still 5 points by the time they come calling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShineOnYouCrazyDiamonds Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 A week of us saying on here that Smith is our best forward purely based on his ability and work rate, even if he’s not the most clinical and now he’s scored a brace. Delighted for him. Get another before full time Smithy. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he can keep this up over the remaining games. I couldn’t make today’s game but delighted with a win. It was a potentially tricky game, Alloa have some good players and we saw how Cove struggled there last week so to come away with three points and a clean sheet is an excellent result. We have another two tough games before we play Cove, hopefully we can come away with six points to put us in a great position for the Cove game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenmavis Diamond Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Next week is huge now. If we can go to Falkirk and win, we keep the heat on Cove as they then enter a very tough run of games, mostly away too. That could be the turning point we need, but we've got to dispose of Falkirk first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fernández Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 That assist from Easton was just beautiful. Delighted for Smithy to get his goals today as his work rate is superb. A massive win in which could of been a total banana skin. Onwards and upwards to Falkirk next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossm25 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 What happened for smiths second goal ? From where I was standing it looked like the keep just let it trickle past him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapelhall chap Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 A tough one on paper and for spells we looked really good, especially when Easton escapes their press: that shimmy and pass for Smith's goal was worth the tenner ticket in itself. There were spells in the first half where they came close and Currie had to make good saves. In many ways by bringing on Sammon AlLoa gave away a passion of game for direct but ineffective moves. Mind you I was relieved when that deflection got the 2nd. Frizzel was our best player, and usual plaudits to McCabe ,Fordyce and Paterson was very good. Gabby ran out of puff and again Agnew did a defensive job but!!! A bonus three points on a day when Cove might have thought we'd drop behind. Last quarter could turn on next week's games and the fact that Cove then face 4 away trips to the rest of the top 5. Hang on in there baby! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
