Chapelhall chap Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Too early for POTY but please can we beat Edinburgh whatever?! If I join the game then I'll go for Watson in defence and Gallagher upfront so sit on fence and share it. Down a league position without playing so let's go past Alloa! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third lanark Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 1 hour ago, Mr November said: What kind of player is he? We’re pretty short on numbers in most positions so he should get plenty of opportunities. Midfielder, versatile can play further up on wing if required . Only 18 but looks far older and not slight or brushed off the ball easily. Very highly rated by the manager and coaches. Expected to go to a higher level than us in a few years. Hope he does well with the diamonds and I think it will work out well for both Ben and Airdrie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone shared a great picture of Ben Wylie bamming up Montrose fans at the play-off game on Twitter the other day. For a player who did absolutely nothing on the pitch he is at least quite entertaining off it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is hilarious on the left side of the picture I think that is the goalkeeper for Celtic B team either laughing at Ben Wylie's GIRFUY to the Montrose fans or also giving it GIRFUY back. I'm not sure why two players that play for Celtic B team would be celebrating an Airdrie goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bench I was thinking of, so many games are won with subs to our cost, wasn't age I mentioned it was experience which seems to come with game time at first team level, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they enjoyed Afolabi’s performance in particular, and who didn’t? Speaking of which, I take it we’re signing Moffat this window? A shame we never saw or got to benefit from Wylie’s shithousing abilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a lot of Thistle fans saying nice things about Stanway but its fair to question his experience, which is virtually zero, but lets see him play. Again it's unlikely he will start tomorrow which is not the type of signing i was looking for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just better players on the bench will help no matter there experience if they are an improvement on what we have 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Not sure of the need for 'experience'. Fordyce, Gallagher, Ballantyne, Watson, Telfer, McCabe are as experienced as you'll get at this level. Lyness hasn't played a huge amount of games but is 31, and Smith and Frizzell have both played well over 100 games. I think the mix of youth and experience in the squad is great, it is literally just the number of competent players that is the issue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't turn down improvements to the starting 11, clearly. However I don't really agree, I think our current position is down to lack of options from the bench and lack of options in the squad when injuries and suspensions have happened. In numerous games we've lost points because the opposition have had options to change the game and we haven't, and most of our dropped points came when Frizzell wasn't playing. If we could add 3 or 4 players who are similar to the standard of our first 11 it would make a massive difference and we'd make the play-offs relatively comfortably. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
