What makes you think its a complete disaster? They were terrible against us (as were KRR under Maxi vs us) and we were on a poor run at the time and managerless. The game changed on the red card and the final score flattered Pollok. Speaking to Pollok fans around us they were not impressed by Maxi and although willing to give them time they were concerned by the performances. He did well with limited resources at KRR but at Pollok a lot more is expected and with far greater resources (with respect to KRR) and he should be given time to build his own squad at Newlandsfield but results and performances will need to improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sox Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Darvel get slatted for the size of their budget, I'm sure Pollok can't be far behind, with the size of their following. The trophy haul must be a big disappointment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time they won the super premier division was 2007/2008 and they've won that league 4 times all in but have never since 2007/2008. For such a big club with a big following they've pretty much had a terrible period of success major wise well over the last decade or so . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicotina Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 and yet we still turn out in large numbers home and away proves the point we are not glory hunters unlike some clubs every home club treasurer is glad to play us don't think i'll need a clicker against darvel tomorrow night i will use one hand to count their true fans 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicotina Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 we won the league in 2014-2015 but we don't count that as it was the first division lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollokGang Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 16 games under Maxwell. 8 wins, a draw and 7 defeats. The 7 include Ayr United and narrow away defeats to Auchinleck and Champions elect Beith. Had a few poor performances like Hurlford at home but then beat them 4-0 away. Early days in his Pollok career. But when he’s had Gow fit he’s only lost twice. Not having dumb and dumber (Rumsby and Brownlie) at centre back really helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness that goes for most clubs in the top league at the moment. Talbot have hoovered up the majority of leagues and cups. Looking at the strength of the league and the teams who populate it, there aren't many who could say they have had great success. Perhaps Beith or Glenafton would be the closest courtesy of their one league and one junior cup each over the last decade. Everyone else has probably underachieved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menzies looks a far better option at the back than Brownlie. Everytime I've seen the latter play he's been poor/bang average at best. Can't say I've seen enough of Rumsby. The lad Greenwood at Cambuslang for example would do a better job for a fraction of the wages I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always seems in and out the team Squad rotation I expect . Seems no other reason as his performances and numbers etc are very good . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you`re hanging your hat on Gow being fit, you`re gonna have problems... watch how he runs, that foot will never be right after his accident and he`ll miss more games than he plays. Medda were right to cash in on him. Don`t get me wrong, he`s a cracking lad and would header a medicine ball, a proper defender but his body won`t let him play a full season - which is a pity as when fit he`s a first name on the team sheet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANKIEBILL Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 at ht on Tues Pollok looked like a team that were playing out the season - although they were denied what like a stone waller to me at nil nil t the time ( I think ). 2nd half they had much more purpose about them and came right back into it - although the red card threw them right back. Overall we were deserving winners but its a worry that we've been 3 up 2 games in a row and have been pegged back to 3-2 with the opposition then having a man sent off ... spooky. Pollok brought a right good crowd over - same as we do over there. Crowd was 650 or so on a bloody rotten night. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had not far off 1000 last night at Newlandsfield and are lucky to have such a great support for a team who have won almost nothing in the last decade! As a comparison Darvel had 15-20 fans there if lucky 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
