  1. Main was excellent yesterday - he's just not a natural goal scorer. Pairing him with Johnson worked out well.
  2. I think Robinson made a good point in one of his post-match interviews when he said that players we sign are either youngsters, lower league or guys that can't get a starting place in their team. That inveitably means that it's going to take some time in training to get them up to speed and, ultimately, find out if they're good enough. It wasn't that long ago that some people on here were moaning about how Grimshaw was a waste of a jersey - and he'd already proved in a previous season how good he could be with a bit of game time.
  3. TBF, the East Stand punters go apoplectic if an auld yin accidentally spills his Bovril.
  4. I saw Moult scored the 3rd and had an assist in PNE's 4th today.
  5. Killing the game would make nice change from going 3-3-4 in the last 20 mins.
  6. Decent first half performance. Postive outlook from the start, and a couple of breaks of the ball. Johnson again showing what he can do given the chance. He's the only natural goal scorer amongst our strikers. Keeper looks solid, but that's not surprising given he has over 200 first team games under his belt.
  7. Get in. Quick thinking from Bigi at the free kick that lead to the corner for that one.
  8. I'm glad I have a video stream. If you only have audio, all you must be getting is the commentary on the referee.
  9. At least we've made a few changes. We'll soon find out if it makes a difference.
  10. I'm saying that our scouting network bases their recommendations on more than one performance for a Colt's team after a few week's out from injury. Sorry if that was too subtle a dig for you. (And the whole negate the preceding sentence with a "Not" at the end died out with teenage girls in the 90s.)
  11. We signed him because he's useless. I'm amazed you can't see that. We have staff members whose job it is to identify new players - and then ignore them, and sign players that will decrease the overall quality of the team. Either that, or people who work in the game for a living know more about the game and have an insight that randoms on the internet sometimes lack. You should send them your scouting reports.
  12. I'm sure that's part of it too. My original point was that all the talk of changing managers before January so we can let the new man make deals in the window is wide of the mark. Teams don't let their good players leave for free in January and having a new manager wouldn't change that. The core we have now is going to have to dig us out of this mess.
  13. And I'd say again that it was Lewis Morgan that made the difference rather than other other signings - as has been proved by their form this season. If he hadn't gone back on loan the second half of last season I doubt they would have been promoted.
  14. After we conceded the early goal at Pittodrie we played OK (55% possession too) and were unlucky not to get an equalizing penalty. So while I'm not overly optimistic, I certainly don't have the fear for this one.
  15. Jack Ross had Lewis Morgan - and as recent events have proved - they were a one man team completely dependent on him. I think I'd rather have our squad than the St Mirren squad, thanks.
  16. Same here. Despite the capitulation at Ibrox, I have actually been encouraged to see Turnbull and Bigi in the midfield and trying to play a bit more football. The next few games will show if that Rangers performance was a blip or a trend. If it's a trend, we might need to reassess at the end of December, but January transfers are never going to fix any team's problems unless you have tens of millions to spend. So even with a new gaffer we'd be dependent on the core squad we have now.
  17. And if Robinson wants to play a back 3 when Dunne is fit, there is no need for a left back.
  18. TBF, Alan Hutton won 50 caps for being able to bomb up the wing from right back, constantly getting caught out of position and not being able tackle on the odd occasion he tracked back.
  19. Where does Forrest play for Scotland if Cadden is right wing back?
  20. Not quite the 60s, but I did play left-half at one stage in the 70s!
  21. Not much info on the web, but seems like it was the Turkish U21s we were playing and we lost 2 - 0.
  22. Neither is the comment about playing better than the first team with 10 men. Just another one of the endlessly negative posts from an endlessly negative poster. Apples and oranges.
