  1. Miller , Turnbull and Faddy are all players who will last long in the memory and all 3 quite different players. If I was a little bit older then Mclair and McAllister would also be on the list. All bloody good players who each brought something special to FP.
  2. Until yesterday I thought the handball rule was much better managed this season . Given humans have hands , if the ball is blasted from short range there’s little anyone could do . Poor show on var for first one . great spot on second - think they were working hard to make up for the earlier error .
  3. Appreciate the frustration with the lack of entertainment. There's not a huge amount of creativity , similar to last season we need to rely on young wingbacks to create. Given our current squad I'd be tempted to play Watt behind the front 2 and try to link more via midfield. That said credit to the team for conceding less goals, averaging 1.2 goals lost per game v's last seasons 1.7. That difference has us very nicely in the top 6.
  4. I'd like to see him in a well strip
  5. I really hate var wait …… oh quite like it again
  6. Ox has been very good - much better than I had anticipated. I do think he also has the benefit of a better defence in front of him. we're far more solid as a defensive unit.
  7. Kettlewell has his flaws - as will any manager and any player who comes through our club. If he was the perfect manager he wouldn't be with us and wouldn't be in Scotland. The pro's come down to 1) his record he's won +40% of games over 70 games. That's very decent for MFC manager. 2)his workrate and valuing the overall coherence of a team. 3) doing the ugly side of the game well. 4) playing young talent and given them a chance 5)He moves on players who aren't to his taste. His flaws are 1) A large chunk of signings have proven to be pretty poor. 2) several signings aka Obika, Callaghan, Nicholson all with proven injury records. 3) lack of entertainment - other than youngsters there's not much to get you on your feet (same could be said for vast majority of SPL) Overall must be one of the better managers we've had. Very similar to Robinson's stats.
  8. Frustrating as the chance was there. Especially riding our luck and being 1-0 up . im a huge advocate of watt from his first time at the club and can see why people calling for him to come on . he looks out of shape and hasn’t had much game time , not convinced he’d have been the answer - albeit not any worse than who we did bring on . frustratingly even a poor rangers team on a poor run have players who are simply much better than the ones we have .
  9. after last seasons poor run at this time of year tonight feels like a big step forward.
  10. Days like today are a bit of a free hit. We shouldn't expect anything and when we don't get anything it doesn't mean we're suddenly a poor team. We needed to be at our best, Celtic at their worst and a bit of luck. None of which came true. Gordon sending off is something that could hurt over coming weeks.
  11. He’s 34 this month . Suspect he’s at the point where he’ll pick up injuries . I know we’ve picked up lots of training injuries , I put this down to some of the signing of players who are aging or had several injuries .
  12. excellent start to the season. From memory it looks us until late Jan last season to chalk up the same amount of wins. Great result. Well done lads.
  13. want to say thank you to Dan Casey - if that was a keeper he'd be applauded for that save at close range. Appreciate him throwing his body on the line and worked out rather nicely
  14. This time last season we narrowly lost in the cup and then narrowly lost to stmirren and we all know the rest of the story well done lads , fine margins which for now are going our way. Nice to get more points on the board
  15. Moses has already scored more goals than Robinson is likely to should he play every minute for the rest of the season. None of strikers suit 1 up front - we need to change our approach our starting formation. We need to build upon our existing tactics of work hard/sling in set pieces. Dare say 4-3-3 may suit this current crop of players.
