Killiepiyo Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Again it’s still early doors. Not sure Micks background playing wise but if your signing a lot of senior players the mentality is going to be different as it’s a different game in what was the juniors. If I was Darvel I’d be wanting 35 games under the belt before making any judgement over if something was or wasn’t working. Anyone thinking anyone will run away with this league isn’t clued up on the competitiveness from the relegation spots to champions one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeman82 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Did darvel have a shot at goal today. I hope you don't pay the leftback any money he should be paying to play. As much as I hate to say it the Talbot will eat darvel if that is what's to offer. Edited August 28, 2021 by geeman82 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled his team with ex seniors and guys that should never have been playing amateur. Generally accepted they were amateur in name only. As a result very successful but he’s now a different sized fish in a much bigger pond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought your whole back line today were pretty shambolic at times. Too many touches…. at the wrong times…. in the wrong places. Pollok’s front line worked hard but I’d say most of your mistakes were self inflicted through being too casual / complacent. Your number 8 looked lively in the first half especially but, when desperation kicked in and you started going long in the second half …. it took the boy right out the game, arguably at the time you needed him most. Big squad ‘doon the Brae’…. time for some rotation ? At least half your team today didn’t do enough to earn a jersey next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Andy Stirling had a good first half and for some reason never got a pass second half , wee Chrissie in goals did well , the rest were poor and I get guys can have an off day but I just don’t see any fight and the attitude is questionable or seems Like it , we have not replaced Stephen mcdevitt and until we get someone similar in this season will drift away but I hope im Proven wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuggy Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Darvel proved today that as a team of individuals they couldnt dig in and work hard to get back in the game. Really supprised at how poor they played as a team. Too much arguing between them and no passion shown to try and win the game. Well played Pollok. Also fantastic crowd today 902. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceejayar Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I have seen 6 out of 10 league games this season and the only time that we have looked good for 90 mins was against Rossvale, for the squad that has been assembled it should be better than that, hardly a player with “junior “ experience in the squad as let’s not be kidded that is still the level we are in, I know there are injuries but every team has them and it’s well documented the size of the squad, the results and performances should be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone thinking anyone will run away with this league isn’t clued up on the competitiveness from the relegation spots to champions one. I agree with this. There's a lot to be said for having a core of guys who are proven warriors at the level. they have to be un-phased by the four P's - pace, pitches, physical and, erm, phacilities. Folk don't like references to the Juniors on here. Progress is happening off-field but what we're watching is essentially the same as Junior football in all of the areas I've mentioned. While it will change over time, the pace of change isn't going to be quick enough to accommodate players who don't really "get" it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean “go from here”? what I’ve seen so far this season mistakes are costing points not that the team are “pish” Remember where they come from the championship and everyone that played last season had a false start due to Covid!

So me and realistic people still know Darvel being a reasonable new squad have a long way to goTBH ….. there were times today when your team was ‘pish’. Mistakes….. occasionally or in isolation, do happen however, their frequency and manner today…. especially at the back …. reached the threshold for being ‘pish’. That…. and the absence of any distinguishable game plan ( other than big punt back to front ) for the last 20-25 mins ….. was equally ‘pish’. The ‘new squad’ that you mention has, between them….. HUNDREDS of games at senior level. That of course guarantees you nothing however, that level of experience should at least help you see you through the difficult times every team has in a game…. and really should be better than 4 points from a possible 15. Sorry if I’m being unrealistic ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way Darvel wining league this season regardless who they have signed. I never said I was happy but I’m realistic with the time it’s going to take 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
