Twinkle Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We have got to be one of the worst teams in the league. Every week i hear or read about all these teams and what they couldve/shouldve/wouldve done things to us but we are lucky and also shite. Its only a matter of time til someone reduces the chasm at the top to single figures given our recent results 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty are suggesting they are the best team in a league of low quality. It's an understandable view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low quality compared to what? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low quality compared to relatively recent seasons when this level had the likes of Rangers, Hibs, Hearts and a strong Falkirk in the division. i could of course be way off the mark but the last couple of seasons in this league IMHO have been low on quality. You may of course choose to disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Low quality compared to what?You don’t need to compare it to anything. Watching the games you can tell it’s not a very good standard of football on offer. It’s not unfair to say that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may of course choose to disagree. I don't doubt the years Hearts, Hibs etc were in the division it was stronger than it is now but those few years are the surely the exception rather than the rule? To have 3 of the biggest clubs in the country in the second tier together was a bit of an aberration. I don't think the league is any better or worse this season than it has been while we've been down and I suspect the quality in the years before 14/15 would have been similar to now.

The term clearly implies some kind of scale on which we're measuring quality. Obviously in this case it's entirely subjective but if you want to describe the league as low quality then it's legitimate to ask what it's being compared to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Do you think youse will send Glass back on loan to Cove? He’s far too good for L2 but as he played for you yesterday I assume that means he can’t play for anyone else this season (can only play for 2 teams a season?) so you can’t loan him out to a L1 team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it tbh. His performances with Cove and yesterday will likely means he gets a few more first team chances now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, that seems to make sense to me. You’ve basically got the league wrapped up and the lad clearly has a shot at making it at United so seems like a good time to give him some first team minutes without *too* much pressure. Can confirm that the rest of League 2 is buzzing that Glass is away! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them were playing playing part time at the age of 28 or even close to it. This guy might well be a very decent championship level player but he's never got even close to playing in the top flight and indeed has spent most of his career bobbing around the third and fourth tiers. It's a bit of a stretch to think that he'll be able to make the step up at this stage. Of course it is a stretch for any part-time footballer to make the step up to full-time... but my point was that just because a player (and I was not referring to Thomas O'Brien specifically, as I have no idea how good a player he is) is in the lower leagues and/or playing part-time does not mean that that player should be automatically discounted. The aforementioned list of United signings is testament to the fact that good players do slip through the net.

Hopefully he has a word with Scott Banks. On 04/01/2020 at 21:17, Loemba90 said: Stanton, McMullan and Pawlett all expected to be available for Thistle game, plus a new signing expected by then. Having Pawlett back is like a new signing - although he gets slated on here for his poor fitness record, when he does actually play for us he is excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he has played for us, hes been either bang average or anonymous which is a shame as i had high hopes for him 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But otherwise you're right. He's been generally underwhelming since he's joined the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Pawlett is available Neilson invariably ditches that formation. We shouldn’t be setting up the team to suit the limited contribution of a single player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Remember the opening 45 minutes against Morton after we made all of the January signings last year? It was the most impressive half of football in a long time and I thought that Pawlett (and others) were all going to be amazing for us. I have seen Pawlett look very good in short bursts and he often has a moment or two in each game that makes you realise he has ability, but for most of the time he has been bit of a passenger and unfortunately unfit/injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
