Szamo's_Ammo Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I also agree that 3 points would be the best result with 1 point the second best outcome. Glad to see you're all finally coming around to my way of thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 5 hours ago, Aladdin said: Neilson has looked like the first real asset in a few years. Just need to hope he doesn't go the way of John Souttar however, I have better faith in the management currently than those responsible for Souttar. It was criminal he kept getting played in CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, however for context, a hell of a lot of United fans were wanting him played there at the time. Saw on twitter somebody saying given Neilson's ability on the ball he should be in midfield - enough to make you weep! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaspianChris Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Florent Hoti is the trialist form the abandoned game. Was at Rochdale only 19 and looks to be one for the youth team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw on twitter somebody saying given Neilson's ability on the ball he should be in midfield - enough to make you weep! The reason Sottar was played in midfield was because he couldn't defend for toffee and looked scared to header the ball most of the time. Under a better manager he may have been taught these things but at the time his actual talent and skills were on the ball, not winning it. And McNafortune obviously wasn't going to actually protect and coach a youngster. That would mean he'd have stop a young, talented player playing in the hope of making him a buck or five. He wasn't a central midfielder either though. If he was born in Italy or Spain or some other mainland European country he'd have had a belter of a career as a sweeper or a Pirlo type sitting playmaker just spraying passes about. Anyone that thinks Neilson should play in midfield should be jettisoned to the moon without a rocket or breathing apparatus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I'm hearing Sevco are pushing for the match against United at Ibrox on 12 September to be used as a 'test event' for fans returning to football stadiums.

Don't agree, but won't bother arguing. Just worth noting that he's snapped an achillies for the third time by the age of 23. He could've developed into a player, but he's probably fcuked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame his (or anyones) career may well be ended by an injury never mind a recurring one. Can't be bothered getting into something about a player who left us donkeys ago either right now tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladdin Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Souttar could have been a class ball playing centre half. He didnt have the aggression as a young boy to play week in week out at centre half.He was completely mismanaged by our clown shoes management team, shunted out to full back, then to midfield and ended up with his confidence completely destroyed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Florent Hoti from Rochdale and Reading striker Mark McNulty the latest names in the rumour mill.

Still baffled that he hasn't been used this season. I remain baffled. Albeit, it’s not half as confusing as to how anyone thinks that Mark Connolly is anything but a liability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Hmmm.... Bit worrying that. As ever plenty of endeavour and industry. But we have a major problem in that we can't defend and we're toothless up front. Not sure what the story is with Glass, but he's clearly not in Mellon's plans. I'd imagine he may be put out on loan when the championship / league 1 season starts (Cove will surely be interested). But I think he would do us a great turn if last season was anything to by. Pains me to say it but I'm beginning to have my doubts about Louis Apperre. Certainly toiling at this level. Needs to be remembered we were a championship team just a few months ago and have barely made any changes to the personnel. Hopefully this will be addressed over the next fortnight as it clearly needs to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
