I know it's the current trend amongst experienced pros to denounce the importance of assists, or certainly their fellow pros celebrating them, but I'm delighted to see we have a midfielder who's creating so many chances for his team mates. I was also under the impression he was a bit of a shitebag based on reports from fans of his previous employers but there were a few occassions yesterday where he got stuck right in. Aye it's a fantastic return - especially given that he hasn't exactly got Dom Thomas and Calum Gallagher to ping balls into. By way of comparison, Dom Thomas got 11 last season, and Ross Forbes and Bobby Barr nine. McKee is actually on eight this season (two against Peterhead, two against Montrose, one against East Fife and three yesterday) but for some reason Hutton was credited with the third. If he could add goals to his game (and not even a lot 6/7 this season would do) then he'd be right up there with the best part-time midfielders in the country imo. He's got that wee bit of quality on the ball, and is strong, fit and works hard. I really can't fault him so far at all.

Howlin' Wilf Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Great game and some great individual performances. Good build up play, poise in defence (with a few exceptions). Seems we have yet again used the loan system to great effect. That has to have been Hutton’s best game in a Sons shirt. His work rate, positional sense and distribution were at least a league above where we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Missed the game as the closest Heliport was at the Balfour Beatty and they wouldn't let me land until 16:36. Did we get over the half way line in the first half. dreadful stuff, even from 15,000 ft. That carthorse from Montrose needs to be sent back. @dipsy could jump higher and would be more of a threat. Back to the thinking table.... Edited October 7, 2019 by SlipperyP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like giving someone a chance all the way from Thailand eh? A goal and an assist and hasn't played two full games yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dead ball delivery with guys like Neill, McGeever and Layne in the team could be pivotal over the campaign. More importantly, he's also helped replace the good looks of Mango and Beanie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took his goal well and caused Raith problems last week. Aitken hasn't been like it for a long time now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamnotgarybollan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The only defence McLean was causing problems for was Forfar, any hope of an attack fizzled out when the ball was sent in his direction, he has no heart and is quite clearly not cut out for League One, even when watching him at Montrose that was obvious.On the other hand, Connor Coupe has no end product? He creates a lot of chances, but with a lack of a goal scoring threat on the pitch, nobody is there to finish so it’s a bit harsh to say he has no end product. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Opinions eh? I certainly haven't seen Coupe "create a lot of chances". There must be some reason he's not a regular starter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnotgarybollan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I’ll go with the fact that he’s still a young and raw talent. He’s up against experienced players in Kirkpatrick and Forbes for a starting spot.He’s not a regular starter but is one of the only players to play a part in every game so far this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I thought McLean was a big haddie. He caused some problems throwing his weight around, and obviously got the better of Carswell for the goal, but if we had big McGeever available I reckon he'd have dealt with him no problem. As I said on Saturday though, Forfar were too like us last season and even if McLean played the game of his life it wouldn't have mattered as he had virtually no support or pace around him. That said, I don't think Forfar need to panic. They've got enough in that team that improvement should be possible, especially when they get the likes of Hilson back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
