Pull My Strings Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Apologies, I read your post as a critique of his playing style and contribution relative to his teammates rather than a banal statement of the obvious. Yes, he is a young laddie still learning the game. Thanks for pointing that out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLeod didn't look out of place, which for a 16 year playing in a man's game is testament to his ability. He wasn't close to being the best player on the park though. Since we've got nothing better to argue about, I didn't say it, the match reporter did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny arab Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Won the reserve derby 5-0, Meekieson, Thomson, Sadat and a Cudjoe double. Obviously the youngsters don’t know that scoring 6 is the done thing against that lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior_Arab Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 So it’s £2million for Nisbet and we reckon we’re getting £4million for Macleod… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s potential you’re buying with Macleod, but with the best will in the world, he’s been in the 1st team for over a year now and hasn’t exactly set the heather on fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Good move if he gets games every week. Making space for the return of Jeando, I presume. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a good player but not had many chances this season. Attacking midfielder, good first touch, turns with the ball well. Needs to bulk up a bit to play in the premier league and improve his defensive role to play for United I think. Should be a stand out in a League one team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Do you guys rate Mochrie or Meekison higher? Curious as to what you guys think as Dunfermline fans have been raving about Mochrie all season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 IMO Meekison is miles better than Mochrie. I've a horrible feeling none of this current crop of Mochrie, Glass, Graham and Chalmers are any good but I'd leave Meekison out-of that equation just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair to say Fox doesn't rate him and he didn't even make the squad yesterday (took part in the warm down so not injured). Can see him looking for a move as he must be hacked off. Puzzles me as I thought he looked good towards the end of last season. Maybe was on the phone to his agent... Seems Fox just doesn't rate him. A real pity as I thought he looked a player last season. Hopefully he can do well at The Falkirk Stadium (been a happy hunting ground for him before), and come back and prove his worth next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to what you guys think as Dunfermline fans have been raving about Mochrie all season. Mochrie broke through first but Meekison probably rated a bit more highly by the club currently. Both really need to be playing every week. I think they'll both make it at a good level, although whether that's at United remains to be seen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I'm at. Decent kids but would expect them to spend most of their careers in the championship and league one - including Meekison. MacLeod has a little bit more about him, but if he is any good, he'll be off soon anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited at wee flashes I have seen. It's probably more a case that I need to see more of Meekison so I can be fully disabused of any optimism I might have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think if we see a youngster take more than a season to break through they'll never make it. Mostly because if they're here that long no big team has poached them ala Kerr Smith and what's probably going to happen to the latest young lad going for £4m. Hopefully. There may be the odd one like Ross Graham who are here a while but that'll be because they'll never go much higher than United. Which isn't necessarily a criticism as that's what we need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It's all relative. All of the above named players will have decent professional careers in full time football. Graham seems to have went backwards this season but tbf he's a young lad who got a lot of the spot light last season for his performances. Meekison is a baller but I think he needs to be the main attacking threat to shine playing off the striker. Mochrie seems to me to be a similar player to Blair Spittal, capable enough but not exactly a star. Glass, god knows seemed to have it but clearly noone at the club thinks so any more. Chalmers, great young laddy who's got plaudits wherever he's went on loan but again just doesn't seem to fit in at United for now. Thing is you can't play all of them at once as they are all fairly similar, if Meekison bulks up and works on the defensive side of things he'd definitely have a place in the first team. Mochrie too can operate wide but wouldn't fit the system and would have to dislodge Harkes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
