I've never see Joshua Bradley-Hurst play, but I hope he does a good turn when he's called upon by you guys. I spoke to him back in April time and he was a really nice big guy who has had a tough time of it through injury. It's a bit of shameless self-promotion, but here's how his move to Dumbarton came about - via being teammates with Jude Bellingham and working nights making PPE. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/dumbartons-joshua-bradley-hurst-playing-23959934 That's brilliant! Don't get stories like that too often up here do you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when you get a player opening up a wee bit about himself and his journey. Joshua was one of my favourite interviews from last season though. Right up there with asking Nat Wedderburn about the time a naked Tony Pulis stuck the head on James Beattie at Stoke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocelot1877 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I thought we looked pretty weak last night defending in the wide areas. We haven’t really been effective at stopping the ball coming in from wide for a while and teams know this seems to be a continued weakness under DL. Im not panicking yet but I’d like another RB and another CB in ideally, but the positives are we never got going and came away with the win. Thought Gomis and Splaine were useful and Balatoni strolled it. On big Jones. I was really encouraged by his performance. He caused issues and seemed to cause the Stranraer defenders a different problem to deal with and he could and maybe should have finished with 2 goals. Him trying the square it when he had the goal gaping tells me that he is a man who is very very short of confidence and belief. Big man might need to be coddled a bit but if he finds it he could well be a good player for us I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That move where he chopped the defender twice after a couple of stepovers - when he actually got in front of goal he shat it after doing the hard bit. As usual with these strikers it's absolutely key to get him a goal early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not the key to anything, we got dicked off East Fife that day and he never scored a league goal again I don't think. I think the only other goal he got was against you boys at Broadwood in the league cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde85 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I know i shouldnt be judging him on one game but am getting serious donkey vibes off Jones. Just can’t help it hope he proves me wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I thought we started pretty well last night then the game and tempo died a death in the second half. Stranraer played some nice stuff and are a good League 2 side. Mitch had a great save in the first half from a one-on-one. Balatoni was pretty solid and Rumsby did well alongside him for the most part. the two full backs were dodgy. The left back (Docherty?) played some good balls forward for Goodie but got caught with balls over the top of him quite a few times. Especially second half. Get Cuddihy and Livingstone at full backs, Danny! Gomis was good in the middle, some good challenges and not afraid to put his foot on the ball and pick a pass. Maybe lucky not to get a second yellow but it still would’ve been harsh IMO. Splaine came into the game more as it went on. Given the time he’s been out with injury over the past while he will need time to get back up to Speed. Wasn’t impressed with Cuddihy in the middle, he didn’t do much from memory. Love and Cunningham were ok and Goodie bullied a couple of their defenders but didn’t have many clear cut chances. Took his penalty well, though. Overall, a decent win in our first competitive match against a team who narrowly missed out being promoted back into our league last season. The heat probably didn’t help as the game went on either. No shock some people are panicking already. We will be fine this season. Mid table. Edited July 14, 2021 by BullyWeeStonehouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can’t help it hope he proves me wrong.I think there's plenty of us that think the same but desperately want to be wrong.Currently I see no redeeming features in his play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride Of The Clyde Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 He maybe a few weeks behind before getting up to speed, don’t think he had ever been quoted for his athleticism. He is handful for any defence, happy with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Happy to be proven wrong on this but unless Tade is signing on as an amateur or on next to nothing then would be a bizzare signing.We already have about 8 forward players while only having 3 centre backs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have about 8 forward players while only having 3 centre backs. Yeah, regardless of what anyone thinks about the trio we have and improving the quality, you need four centre halves. There's not even somebody in that squad you would put back there in an emergency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
