    I see where folks are coming from re the European argument. The only game Ive been away to was Athens and although it was sa great trip/experience, the football wasnt great.

    I must say, I would love to see how a JBA team gets on in European comptetition. I have a feeling it might be an entirely different experience. 

    Of course, the League Cup doesnt present that opportunity and Id much rather see us win that than get Europe if it was a straight choice, but why cant we do both?

    First things first however, lets get our first league win in the bag and then we can start thinking about the semi-final.

    Once we win both cups this argument will be immaterial!!

    I saw that but I have no idea what it means? I’m not up on modern jargon. In my day if someone said I “had too much of a load on me” it’d mean I was a fat bas6ard.

    im guessing this isn’t what the manager means 

    Modern manager jargon don't worry about it!

    It's just the phases they go through....it's all about momentum.

    I really do get that. But I think it's a bit ridiculous that Kellys poor run in goals lasted something like ten weeks (someone can correct me if I am wrong). And there were issues with Kelly and the defence when Hammell was in charge too 

    Like for me if Ward goes in goals again and makes an arse of it - drop him. I just think the criticism he's getting just now is a tad disproportionate 

    Yeh I feel the same way about AP. Guy is slogging his guts out - perhaps even overtrying but it's not coming off for him.

    You've said that already. Why would it be last chance saloon? He's made mistakes but so does every goalkeeper. Do you not think we should back our players? There were folk slagging off Ox last season - folk have  very short memories. 

    And like I said earlier - Liam Kelly went a lot longer going through a very poor spell and he didn't get the grief Ward is currently getting 

    Early days as you are saying. I think the grief AP is getting and Ward is getting is, is because of the JBA words of ambition. The fans are now being ambitious too. If the two had been on top form we would be on 8 points & I think a very deserved 8 points as well.

    Where would you put him with  Gordon and Balmer?

    Which is the correct question. Let that sink in!

    As a youngster he's played a decent amount of Euro football with Celtic - decent with feet and in the air. He will do fine for us - viewpoints on loans from other clubs in the league aside, I think OTF is doing him a disservice.

    You are joking he gets dogs abuse every time he posts about up coming games. The ridicule  pile on. 

    He predicted us to get 1 point in the league cup fixtures. Deserved ridicule on that one, spouted utter garbage.

    FWIW barring the above ridiculousness most of his other posts are a pretty good read.

    It’s because he’s shite, but many on here will continue to make excuses for him because ‘effort’ etc. 

    You are very black and white when it comes to AP

    I'll stick to the grey right now and see what direction it turns. 

    Is AP better than Connor Shields for example? Dismissing as shite doesn't tell a full picture.

  8. I'm not sure where to put this comment - but those writing AP off with certainty I think are wrong.
    If we are to be patient with our new style, I think  we can be patient enough to at least see AP over the first ten league games. 
    Theo Bair was a running joke in his first x games for us. Plenty more I can add to that too.
    There's a player in there, and it could go either way.
    To add - I have more doubts about Said than AP in terms of future prominence - but again ten games and I can add more.

    We need a regular starting striker with proven league experience, for the league campaign not a project, I am sure we can do better.

    Agreed. I am ok if this is striker 3 with a more inspiring permanent signing to come.

    Has Miller been training with us this week? Not really expecting him to play but we can only sit him out for so long if this drags on week after week, so I’d be tempted to start using him till something concrete happens. 

    Good potential for a late cameo tomorrow

    It quite possibly the reason we knocked the offer back that we are playing hardball and hoping they come up with a better offer.

    It's speculation only that an Italian club might sign Lennon .

    JBA will know of many strikers that we could sign that are better than ap stam

    We are a selling club , fact.

    We would not start the season without a striker.

    The transfer window is open until the end of August.

    If I was a betting man I would put money on tawanda to score more goals ap stam over the season.

    And lastly he might get a paper cut tomorrow and be out for six months .

     

    I'll take that bet - if both play the full season. DM Me.

    Maswanhise with all respect is a winger. Stamatelopoulos? Cmon .we r hoping he will be good but other than a great strike against hibs he has not shown much. Even when bair wasn't scoring he was creating space for others. All about opinions but for me I think he would fit in perfectly 

    Yup all about opinions and I'm a big Stama fan. 

    Providing he stays fit 15+ goals this season. Watch this space.
