Didn't get a lot of power behind it and the defender was able to get back and clear off the line. Don't think he tried anything fancy, just wasn't great execution.

1320Lichtie Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) Just made a total arse of it and tried to lift it so the defender couldn’t get it I think, it was actually way worse on the highlights than what it seemed from the other end of the park I thought the defender had done well when I initially saw it Edited October 23, 2022 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why he took Bobby off for him was unreal and every fan around me said the same thing. Agree i would have preferred to have seen young Shanks coming on. GREAT result with our players being under massive pressure to get a win, WELL DONE LADS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-0 Maroon Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Was a fantastic performance all round and a huge 3 points, The players would have been under huge pressure to get that win considering how the table was looking and could have went so hence the tense atmosphere and nerves during the game, I always thought we looked in total control though and probably should have won more comfortably by 3-4 in the end, Hilson and Stewart to come back and I think we have enough about us at the moment to battle away until January and get our Striker similar to when Big Jack came in during our 2nd Season, Hammy, Tait, Bobby and Big Scotty Bitsindou were all excellent and for me that was Scotty Allan’s best game, Can’t stop watching the goal, Incredible switch of play by Mikey then that pass just wow, cool composed finish by Bobby ️ Excellent stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-0 Maroon Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Btw did any fellow Smokies watch A View From The Terrace on Friday? Dylan Mcgeouch was on and was saying he has been without a club since the start of the season similar to Scotty Allan as they are best mates and it was put to him by the guys why does he not join him and he actually said he had been on the phone to Dick and in talks but is currently still holding out for full time, Could have been a huge signing and maybe still happen in January even if it’s only until end of the season to put himself back in the window ️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I would say LD just doesn’t have the physical attributes to be effective in Championship, bigger fitter faster and better defenders have an easy time against him. I would say L1 is his level too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See when we were winning and it was maybe unlikely we would score again I wasn’t too bothered about Bobby coming off Saturday, if we are desperate for a goal it’s a different story though. Just the fact Corfe come on, he just doesn’t look like he knows where to be or does anything defensively or going forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattie36 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I think Linn was limping a bit after the sending off. He took a fair clatter and looked to be moving a little less comfortably than normal. So possibly just a precaution.

Makes me despair of these fans then. Bobby Linn is a great asset but there is little to be gained from playing him excessive minutes. My own view is he maybe needs to be taken off a little earlier since he is clearly running out of steam (tho the hope remains he can create one last chance). . Above all, we need to keep him fit for the next game rather than burning him out and greatly exacerbating the risk of injury. As Pink said in his recent interview, Bobby is 37 so game time needs to be carefully managed. It’s a long season so fans need to get real 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 The Bobby Linn sub debate could be quite easily ended by us signing someone who can also play left wing and isn't absolute gubbins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Pink said in his recent interview, Bobby is 37 so game time needs to be carefully managed. It’s a long season so fans need to get real First post I’ve disliked in a long time. Let him train less if that’s the case, there are times like Saturday where I understand it and it makes some sense but there are also games like Cove or QP away where we need goals and creativity and we are subbing our main man off that can do that, is an extra 20 minutes of a game of football (it’s not CrossFit ffs) really going to burn Bobby out, a man who does 14 miles a day doing his job, 2 boxing sessions, 2 football training sessions and a game on a Saturday. Could he really not do an extra 20 minutes when we really need him and then given more of a rest in training? I’ve not seen him look burnt out ever? The only time I did was when he barely played last season, he played unreal in one of his only starts against Partick midweek and then the Saturday after he got a start again against Dunfermline I think and he looked fucked in it and got subbed at half time but that was due to his lack of game time and match fitness it was nothing to do with his age. Where is your evidence that he’s clearly running out of steam? He’s been our best attacking player by a million miles this season Edited October 27, 2022 by 1320Lichtie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of managing his game time is so he doesnt look like that! Look at our team last season. When the pressure was on, Dick didnt want to change a winning team, so our team were running on fumes and carrying wee niggles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he looks like that then you can understandably take him off????? And we barely had any injuries last season????

It's not mental gymnastics it's common sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
