Bullyweeno1 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 1 hour ago, FREDDYFRY said: I honestly don’t see what some others see in Kennedy to see him as one of our “better” players (not that it takes much to be one of our better players). I don’t think he does much at all, not strong enough and I also don’t see the technical ability and potential that Lennon and some others see. Certainly not even close to Mark Lamont despite his obvious inconsistency and apparent fitness issues. All about opinions and all that! Agree with you here, there is a number of supporters who think Kennedy is one of our better. As you say wouldnt be difficult in the present climate but like you, i dont think he offers much if anything. He is too light weight, has no turn of speed, doesnt have a trick in his locker (at one point yesterday he tried to go past someone and proceeded to run it the ball out the park), always seems to go for the easy option and pass backwards, never seems to look to go forward. Agree with you, not as good as lamont, as at least he managed to find DGW with a pass in 1 in 5 attempts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can tell you now McGrath will be lucky to play a handful of games for us from the start in the league over his two year contract. As has been said before players with no pedigree at L1 level shouldnt have been given more than a 1 year contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I had Kennedy pegged as a possible Arbuckle/Lang and that's how it has turned out. Trialists never turn out how you would hope. That said, I'd like to see how Nicoll or Gomis would do if stuck out on the left wing. It wouldn't hurt us to play him centrally, in his actual position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Mark Lamont who is in lowland league now with BroomhillLamont signed for Alloa.Giving the utter shite we have signed we would have been better keeping Lamont and the injury prone Syvertsen and pushing the boat out to retain Howie.I really don't believe for one second that the players signed is all we can afford.Craig Slater and Jamie Ness are at Forfar, Robert Thompson at Stenny, Kieran Millar at Stranraer. Stirling have at least 3 midfielders that would walk into our team.Then you add in the lack of loan signings with the likes of Nicky Jamieson on loan from Alloa to Stenny or Michael Miller on loan from Raith to Stenny.It's more likely that Lennon dithering about has cost us plenty of signings and he's just signed whatever rejects were still left.We also got a transfer fee for Mitchell which we haven't spent at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared our squad to the L2 squads and I would have us 7th or 8th in that division never mind this one. When these jobbers we have signed leave their next club after us will just confirm that they should never have been here in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBR Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Syvertsen hasn’t been in the Dumbarton squad since 7th August. I think he’s injured. If so, that’s one decision DL got right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that’s one decision DL got right.I don’t know about that, even injured he’s probably still a better option than Jones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigGuy Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Shame Syvertsen has the talent. I think as Ally Love said bluntly, “he is always injured”. Edited November 1, 2021 by TheBigGuy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Are Clyde not doing their own highlights any more? Would've liked to have seen McGuffie's goal from the other side as well as Telfer's break away goal at the end 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
