Agreed...there is a compilation somewhere on you tube of his goals for us, outstanding finishing. I warmed to Higdon when he was asked about the stick he was getting fron the fans (I think it was v Abdeen). Rather than bleating about it he replied that having just seen the highlights he was surprised he didn't get more stick. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Exactly this I remember that game and if I am correct Gannon left him out there for the full game, it was torture to watch. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

We will absolutely be better than last season. I dont honestly think SR is going to sign lower league english players if he thinks we have u20s good enough to step up now. To me (and I have seen them a few times) they are nowhere near ready to take on that responsibility and it could adversely affect their future careers. To me the key is improve on last season and gradually move to a more home grown model and I have no doubt that will happen. It won't happen without shorter term improvement in the first team to keep the club safe and quite rightly thats where the focus is. I have no doubt the Campbells and McLeans will get their chance as the season progresses but for now much as I would prefer a more home based squad what we have in terms of atheticism, age, and potential sell on is light years ahead of last season Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Yeah which means now we at least get a fee for him if he goes at the end of this season, and given his abilities thats what will happen. While 3 years would have been great this is pretty fair all round Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Some good points there but as Morton were already 2-0 down and offering no threat when Harkins was sent off I don't think Duffy could have changed the outcome. 3 at the back doesn't seem to be popular on here and I understand concerns however Robbo used it extensively last season and I think it will be his preferred option in most games this year. He tightened up our defence last season and a lot of our goals conceded were due to individual mistakes from a bomb scare defender and flapping gkeeper rather than because it was a back 3. Under Robbo we have not lost a game by more than 1 goal and now he has arguably better players who will be better protected by McHugh and Biggi, and a keeper who looks more capable so I am less worried than some about a back 3, and I trust his judgement about when to play it or go back 4. However as you quite rightly say we will find out soon enough against tougher opposition ! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

All about opinions mate and while I don't think he was man of the match really can't see where you are coming from in describing him as awful Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Far from perfect today but sharper than last week and to be frank no matter how many we scored in the last 2 games there would still be folks belittling it due to lower league opposition, conveniently forgetting how many times we have tripped up in such games before. I like the way the team is shaping up and am cautiously optimistic for the season ahead Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

If we had youngsters who were ready now they would be in the team and have no doubt that is the longer term plan, however in Scottish football there is a real issue in youngsters being good enough to make that step up. I have no doubt that as suspensions, injury, and form issues kick in some of the youngsters will get their chance but for me what I've seen of them while some are promising (McLean/Campbell) they at the moment are well behind the players who have been brought in. I also commented today on a lack of Scots in the line up so I understand where you are coming from but for me an improvement on last season is more important. If it can be done also carefully blooding and bringing on some youngsters then I'll be delighted. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Yeah remember him as well....decent player, bloody awful illness Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Totally agree, he has been great for us twice over but not for me this time Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

McHugh by a country mile...Kipre could be interesting and delighted for Bowman starting the season with 5 goals so far Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

And you will probably be one of those moaning like hell we sold him too cheap. He will go if and when the price is right Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

When it comes to petty point scoring on grammar you have to wonder. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

A reasonable point of view and although weeyin put forward an alternative view in his reply which I tend to agree with, I understand the points raised and perhaps more importantly appreciate the sensible manner in which they were raised. Reasoned debate...lets hope its the future! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Sadly in life there are people whose default position is negativity and who love to have a go at anything and anyone, yet find it impossible to give out praise when its due. Reading some (far from all) of the comments on here has me shaking my head in bewilderment at times. Nowt wrong with criticism as such, differing views is healthy, I just don't understand the pant wetting this early with virtually a new team and limited resources. I actually think some folks love a crisis Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Enjoyed that..great read Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Exactly....too many other outdoor things to do and holidays. Honestly believe crowds would drop....and what the hell would we do during the winter. (Other than drink more[emoji6] Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Was my first thought Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Tend to agree, my brother in law is a jambo and says atmosphere there is toxic and will go into complete meltdown if they dont start well. Hibs fans i think more likely to stay behind them in numbers even if they have a poor start...if they start well then their away support will be big. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Indeed it did but folks on here need to get real. To sell a player for the money we want and at the time we want depends on a buying club willing to satisfy both criteria. Folks on here would go into meltdown if we sold a player at the first offer and accuse the club of rolling over yet as Lobey alludes to, play hardball for more dosh and it goes right to the wire with all the replacement issues that brings. This is the system we have to operate in and it is far from easy. Folks criticise the club as if we should always get our first choice targets and always sell at the price and time that suits us. Would be great if we could and avoid mistakes but in the market we are in mistakes are more likely as you are taking a punt on potential rather than a stellar career thus far. Am confident though of better outcomes now. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Got to be honest I find this post 'sad', in fact am shaking my head in bewilderment. Not even on twitter myself but I say keep up the good work Flow, use whatever methods engage with our fan base Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

My thoughts entirely when I read the full spec through....it was like a detailed job spec for a full time paid post and I doubted if there would be sufficient interest. Classic case of a nice simple idea being completely over egged and over complicated. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

There is definitely merit in what you write, but if the player has a chance to go to the likes of Burnley NOW with the financial benefits he will no doubt get, I think it unlikely he would want to sign an extension to stay with us. Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

Tired and thick finger syndrome..not a good combination!! Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk

That last line nails it for me and its a point thats been lost in all the calls for a creative spark. One (of the many) reasons our defence was so poor was the complete lack of cover from midfield. Start controlling midfield then you shield your defence and provide a platform for going forward. The signings so far would seem to acknowledge this and as others havs said just because a cfeative gdnius hasnt yet been signed does not mean its not being targetted Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk
